And Whereas it is by the said Ordinance also enacted that the person, if any, actually holding any such privi- lege is thereby empowered to grant licences to all proper persons authorising them to boil and prepare opium and to sell and retail opium so boiled and prepared:

And Whereas it is desirable to make some provisions with respect to the regulating the quantity of opium manufactured and the transfer of the stocks of raw and prepared opium in the possession of the person holding

such exclusive privilege and his licensees at or near the end of his term of exclusive privilege to the next holder of the same, and to make other amendments in the said recited Ordinance:

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

I. No person holding such exclusive privilege as afore- said, nor any licensee under such person as aforesaid, shall sell or dispose of any boiled or prepared opium at or near the end of the term for which such person holds such exclusive privilege or at any time during the term for which such person holds such exclusive privilege so as in either case to authorize the use of such boiled or prepared opium at any time after 12 o'clock at noon of the third day after the commencement of the term of the new holder of the exclusive privilege, under a penalty not exceeding one thousand dollars.

any

II. Every holder of such exclusive privilege shall, one month before the end of his term of exclusive privilege ex- pires, give public notice in the form provided by the sche- dule A hereto that the said privilege is to expire on the day to be named and that no boiled or prepared opium pur- chased from such holder of such exclusive privilege or from licensee of such holder can be used after such time with- out the consent of the new holder. Such notice shall be printed in English and Chinese and the holder of the ex- clusive privilege shall supply copies thereof to all persons licensed by him under the said recited Ordinance: and every person so licensed shall exhibit the notice in his place of sale in a conspicuous position so as to be plainly visible to every person entering such place of sale. Any person offending against any of the provisions of this section shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars.

III. The holder of the exclusive privilege and his licensees shall, on the expiration of his term, hand over to the incoming holder, and the incoming holder shall take boiled over from the outgoing holder all his stock of and prepared opium at such prices as may be settled subject to the proviso hereinafter contained for arbitration in case of difference.

raw,

IV. Neither the holder of the exclusive privilege nor his licensees shall, at or near the end of his term, manu- facture more than the usual quantity of boiled or prepared opium, or sell any boiled or prepared opium at less than the average current prices of the day, or in greater quan- tities than usual at the time of the year, and shall not sell, export, or otherwise make away with or dispose of any of his stock of boiled or prepared opium, but shall make over to the new holder of the said exclusive privilege the full and complete stock of raw or boiled and prepared opium at the marketable value thereof and in the event of any difference arising as to quantities of boiled and prepared opium manufactured or sold during the last three months of the term and the price of the same and of the nature and quantity of the raw or boiled or prepared opium so to be purchased or made over and the prices thereof, such differ- ence shall be determined by three arbitrators, one to be appointed by the new holder of the exclusive privilege, one by the person whose exclusive privilege has expired or is

Objects and Reasons.

The principal objects of this Ordinance are to impose some check on the outgoing opium farmer to prevent him from manufacturing or disposing at or near the end of his terin excessive quantities of boiled or prepared opium to the detriment of the new opium farmer and of the revenue, and to give to the opium farmer increased facilities for his protection from competition by unauthorised persons.

Section 1 provides that no opium farmer or his licensee shall dispose of prepared opium at or near the end of his term or at any other time authorising the use of such pre- pared opium after 12 o'clock of the 3rd day after the com- mencement of the term of the succeeding farmer.

賽他

Section 2 provides that public notice shall be given by the outgoing farmer previous to the cessation of the term for which he holds the exclusive privilege of boiling and preparing opium and selling and retailing the same and that no boiled or prepared opium may be lawfully used after the date mentioned in such notice without the consent of the incoming farmer.

Section 3 provides that the outgoing farmer shall handi over his stocks of opium to the incoming farmer at current prices.

Section 4 provides that the opium farmer shall not at or near the end of his term manufacture more than the usual quantity of opium nor sell prepared opium at less than current price or in larger quantities than usual at the time. of year, nor sell, export, &c., any of his stock of prepared opium, but make over to the new farmer all his stock at marketable value and in the event of differences arising between the outgoing and incoming farmer in respect of this or the 3rd section provides for a reference to arbitration.

Section 5 amends section 8 of Ordinance 2 of 1858, and is intended to make it clear that no person is permitted to use prepared opium purchased from a farmer whose privi- lege has expired. A proviso is introduced for the per- mitting small quantities to be used purchased from the old farmer or his licensees for a limited period after the com- mencement of the new farmer's term.

Section 6 permits the seizure by a Revenue or Police Officer of prepared opium found in the possession of un- authorised persons or in unauthorised places and also of utensils and vessels used or manifestly intended to be used for boiling or preparing opium.

Section 10 authorises the Governor to appoint Revenue Officers on the nomination of the opium farmer.

Section 11 provides that the names and places of resi- dence of Revenue Officers shall be posted conspicuously at

the Police Court.

Section 12 enacts that Revenue Officers shall be provided with badges which are to be produced when they are about to act as such Revenue Officers. Police Officers when acting as Revenue Officers are also to produce some part of their public equipment.

Section 13 removes any doubt existing at present by providing that penalties may be renewed summarily before a Magistrate.

Section 14 explains what the word “possession ” is in-

tended to mean.

paring the same are found apparently in the possession of

no one, and provides for the forfeiture of raw opium found

at the same time and place.

Section 17 enables the present farmers to terminate their term by giving a month's notice to the Colonial Secretary within one month from the time this Ordinance comes into operation otherwise present arrangements to continue subject to the provisions of the Ordinance.

Section 18 provides that this Ordinance shall he con- strued with 2 of 1858, and may be cited as “The Excise Ordinance, (Opium) 1858-1878.”

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

Translations in Chinese, for the information

of the Chinese portion of the Community, of

some of the Government Notifications are insert-

ed herein, but it is to be understood that in case of variance in the sense of the English and Chi- nese versions, the sense of the English text must

be considered as correct.

By Command,

C. MAY,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

No. 9.

Hongkong, 3rd January, 1879.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

VER.

Notice is hereby given that, in view of the approaching Chinese New Year, he Superintend- ent of Police has been authorised to give permission,

under Ordinance 10 of 1872, for Crackers to be

fired under the following restrictions:-

In the Districts West of the Cross Roads

and of Shing-wong Street the firing of

Crackers will be permitted from 4 P.M..

on the 21st until 4 P.M. on the 23rd January;

In the Districts East of the Cross Roads and of Shing-wong Street, Crackers may be fired only between the hours

of 4 P.M. of the 21st and 9 P.M. of the 22nd January.

The Police will have strict orders to summon or arrest persons firing Crackers in contravention of the foregoing restrictions.

But whilst allowing thus the same liberty as heretofore, His Excellency the Governor desires the Chinese public to take special precautions on

this occasion, as the unusual dryness of the weather increases the danger of a conflagration arising in case of careless handling of Crackers.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

C. MAY.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

Notice is hereby given that, in view of the approaching Chinese New Year, the Superintend- ent of Police has been authorised to give permission, under Ordinance 10 of 1872, for Crackers to be fired under the following restrictions:-

In the Districts West of the Cross Roads

and of Shing-wong Street the firing of Crackers will be permitted from 4 P.M.

on the 21st until 4 P.M. on the 23rd January;

In the Districts East of the Cross Roads and of Shing-wong Street, Crackers may be fired only between the hours

of 4 R.M. of the 21st and 9 P.M. of the 22nd January.

The Police will have strict orders to summon or arrest persons firing Crackers in contravention of the foregoing restrictions.

But whilst allowing thus the same liberty as heretofore, His Excellency the Governor desires the Chinese public to take special precautions on this occasion, as the unusual dryness of the weather increases the danger of a conflagration arising in case of careless handling of Crackers.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

[No. 27 of 1878.]

Marine Department, Wellington, 30th October, 1878. The following letter, received from Captain MILES of the brig Rio Loge, relative to the position of Rennels and Bellona Islands, is published for general information.

G. GREY.

RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878. SIR,—I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig Rio Loge. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as doubtful" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12′ south latitude, and 160° 19′ east longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30′ south latitude, and 160° 8′ east longitude, making an error of 18′ in latitude and 11' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the N.W. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.É. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 42 east, approximate. Rennels Island and Bellona bear from each other N.W. by W. and S.E by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.

I cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:-

Rennels Island is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 500 to 600 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.

Trusting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally,

I have, &c.,

EDWARD MILES,

Master Rio Loge.

Government of South Australia.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

INVESTIGATOR STRAIT ALTHORPE ISLAND.

Referring to Notices issued from this Department on the 27th July, 1877, the 25th January, 1878, and the 6th June, 1878,Mariners are now hereby informed that on and after the 14th day of February, 1869, a Revolving Light of the first order, flashing every fifteen seconds, will be exhibited from a Light Tower, painted white, and 40 feet in height, erected on the large Althorpe Island. The color of the light will be white, except between the bearings, from the Lighthouse, of N. 25° W., and 61° W., where a red arc of light will be shewn, leading half-a-mile to the eastward of Emmes Reef, and nearly half-a-mile southward of the S.W. Rock.

The focal plane of the light will be at an elevation of 350 feet above the sea-level. In ordinary weather, the bright portion of the light should be observed from a ship's deck about 25 miles distant, and the red arc of light obout 17 miles.

When much refraction exists both lights may be seen at a greater distance.

Pa. B. C. AYRES,

Colonial Surgeon.

No. 21.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH JANUARY, 1879.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Hydrographic Notice is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th January, 1879.

C. MAY,

39

Acting Colonial Secretary.

The information contained in this notice is to be carefully considered, to be noted in the Sailing Directions, and compared with the chart when the ship is navigating the parts to which it refers.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE.

[No. 42.]

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO.

NOTICE NO. 17.

The following information relating to Balabac strait, Sulu sea, Macassar strait, and Gillolo passage, has been received from various sources, 1877-78.

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 30′ Easterly in 1878.]

BALABAC STRAIT.*

Black Watch Rock, on which the British barque Black Watch is reported to have struck, 1878, lies just within the danger line depicted on the chart, south side of Main channel, Balabac strait.

From the position of this rock, as given by the master of the Black Watch, North Mangsee island is seen open of South Mangsee island, bearing N. E, and the cay on Bangucy Outer north-east reefs, S.E. Et

From the irregularity of the soundings near this suspected locality it is possible that shallow coral heads may exist.‡

SULU SEA.Ş

KINABATANGAN RIVER, on the north-east coast of Borneo, is a large river, said to be navigable for a distance of about 200 miles from the entrance. The bar of this river lies parallel to the coast, about 4 miles from the shore; vessels of 12 feet draft might cross the bar at high water during the south-west monsoon, but it is doubtful whether it would be safe during the north-east monsoon. Within the entrance the river widens and forms a basin many miles in extent; this basin is said to have deep water throughout, but where the river again narrows a bar with only 9 feet is said to exist.

The east entrance point of Kinabatangan river is in lat. 5° 39′ N., long. 118° 35′ E.|| (approximate).

The northern part of Borneo from Kimanis river on the north-west coast to Sibocu river on the east coast, has been ceded by the Sultans of Bruni and Sulu to a British Trading Company, 1878.

Baron de Overbeck, the representative of this company, proceeded in a steam launch about 230 miles up Kinabatangan river, where it was found to be 60 to 70 yards wide, and to have a depth of 7 fathoms.¶

Coral Shoal.-H.M.S. Growler, 1877, when proceeding between Cagayan Sulu and Muleegee islands, passed over a coral shoal near the centre of the channel, the least water obtained was 63 fathoms, the bottom however, was distinctly visible. There are 23 to 26 fathoms a short distance northward, and 55 to 65 fathoms within 14 miles southward of this shoal. From the shoal South Muleegee island bears S.W. by W. westerly 4 miles, and Tanjong Tavo Tavo, west extreme of Cagayan Sulu, N.N.W. W. westerly 7 miles.**

SULU ÍSLAND-Maimbun bay.-Sub-Lieutenant K. Wade, H,M.S. Hart, 1878, remarks:-While steaming into Maimbun bay, a rock about three quarters of a mile off shore was observed. This rock appeared to be awash at low water, and to form part of an extensive shoal (Batolaqui shoal) with 2 to 6 fathoms water; the rock is generally marked by a stick placed by the natives, but it cannot be depended on. Point Parang open of point Tubingantan bearing N.W. W. leads

1414 south-west of Batolaqui shoal, and mount Mabintah, N.E. by E., leads south-east of the shoal.tt

MACASSAR STRAIT.‡‡

Reef reported. A reef-of which Notice has been given by the Netherlands Government-is reported to lie about 4 miles from the north-west coast of Celebes island, with South Watcher bearing N.E. by N.; Oedjong Balisan S.S.E. † E.; and south-west entrance point of Dyko Tambing E. by N. N.§§

GILLOLO PASSAGE.||||

Soundings.-Mr. A. Hamilton, Master of the British barque Fire Queen, 1878, states that from a distance of 10 miles south-west of Ormsby bank, in a northerly direction, to abreast its northern edge, depths of 20 to 27 fathoms have been obtained.

That your Petitioners have had transmitted to them from former times certain rules which hitherto have been observed every year, viz., to erect on the steps in front of the temple a matshed, covered with cloth and extending to the gutter, and further to set up opposite the temple, on the slope, a bamboo screen, in order to post up there the list of subscribers, to open the religious cere- monies on the 2nd day of the 2nd moon (22nd February), and to continue them till the night of the seventh day (27th February), exhibiting daily lanterns and groups of statuettes with music and silk festoons, to scatter paper money for the release from purgatory of all who died on land or sea, thirty members of the Committee proceed- ; ing during that night to Mount Davis to burn paper clothes for the benefit of the dead where- upon the service for the dead will be concluded;

That your Petitioners now appeal to your Honour with the humble prayer that you will be pleased to grant permission to your Petitioners to act accordingly, so that both spirits and men may mutually rejoice, and anticipating your Honour's goodness, in condescending to yield to the wishes of the people, your Petitioners feel extremely obliged;

That your Petitioners will be deeply grateful, and pray your Honour to forward this petition and lay it before His Excellency the Governor.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray...

In the Ki-mau year, the first moon (January 1879).

NOTICE.

The instructions of His Excellency the Gov- ernor have been received appointing UN MAN- TS'or as Manager of the Stamp Office Branch Agency. [The latter office] has now been esta- blished at No. 79, Bonhain Strand, to sell by commission, at current rates, all sorts of stamps. The establishment of this Branch Agency ori-

ginated in the desire to facilitate the purchase of Stamps on the part of the Chinese Mercantile Community at all times, early or late. But in the case of all forms which require stamps, it is necessary, in accordance with the Ordinance, to use either impressed or adhesive stamps, and there must absolutely be no evasion of the law through a desire to save the small expense, whereby punishment is occurred. It is sincerely

hoped that each will act in his true self-interest.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 31st December last.

The net profits for that period, including $19,243.05 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, making provision for bad and doubtful accounts, and for difference in Exchange between the rate at which the Dividend is declared and the current rate of the day, amount to $319,727.81, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $307,303.27. From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One pound Sterling per Share, which will absorb $177,777.77.

The Directors recommend placing $100,000 to the credit of Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $1,300,000, and carrying forward the balance, viz., $29,525.50 to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

The Directors congratulate the Shareholders on the above satisfactory results.

Directors.

In conformity with the provisions of the Deed of Settlement, two members of the Court, Messrs. FORBES and KESWICK, retire from the Direction, but they are eligible for re-election, and offer themselves accordingly.

Kuo ta-jên to the Marquis of Salisbury.

(Received October 15.)

Chinese Legation, 45, Portland Place, October 14, 1878.

MY LORD, I have been instructed by the Tsung-li Yamên and the Grand Secretary Li to request that your Lordship will have the good-

ness to present to the subscribers of the China

Famine Fund the grateful acknowledgment of the Chinese Government for the generous alacrity

with which, on hearing of the fearful calamity which had befallen the northern provinces of China, they hastened to the assistance of the

suffering population.

The noble philanthropy which heard, in a far- distant country, the cry of suffering, and hastened to its assistance, is too signal a recognition of the common brotherhood of humanity ever to be forgotten, and is all the more worthy of being

remembered because it was not a mere passing

response to a generous emotion, but a continued effort, persevered in until, in sending the welcome rain, Heaven gave the assuring promise of returning plenty, and the sign that the brotherly succour was no longer required.

Coming from Englishmen residing in all parts of the world, this spontaneous act of generosity made a deep impression on the Government and people of China, which cannot but have the effect of more closely cementing the friendly relations which now so happily exist between China and the Government and the people of this country, But the hand that gave also assumed the arduous duty of administering the relief; and here I would not forget to offer my grateful thanks and condolence to the families of those (and they are not a few) who nobly fell in distributing the fund. To Englishmen in all parts of the world I beg to offer, through your Lordship, the thanks of the Government and people of China for the generous assistance afforded by them in a time of great calamity; but I more especially desire to thank his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sir Thomas Wade, Sir Rutherford Alcock, the Governor of Hongkong, and the various mis- sionary societies who inaugurated the China Famine Fund, supported it with their influence, and advanced it by their strenuous exertions.

Trusting that your Lordship will convey to them this acknowledgment of the Chinese Government, I beg, &c.

(Signed) KUO SUNG-TAO.

No. 2.

The Marquis of Salisbury to Kuo ta-jên.

Foreign Office, October 25, 1878.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th instant, convey- ing to me an expression of the grateful acknow- ledgments of the Chinese Government for the assistance rendered by Englishmen in all parts of the world towards relieving distress in the districts of China recently stricken by famine; and I beg leave to acquaint you, in reply, that I shall have great pleasure in communicating such acknow-

ledgments to the persons who were instrumental

in establishing the fund for the relief of the suffering population in China.

I am, &c.,

DOWNING STREET, 27th November, 1878.

SIR,----I have the honour to acquaint you that the Secretary of State for War has represented that under the provisions of the Royal Warrant of Promotions of the 13th of August, 1877, it is no longer possible to allow an Officer to hold the appointment of Aide-de-Camp to a Colonial Governor, or any other Colonial appointment without replacing him in his regiment; and that under these circumstances the additional cost of appointing an Officer to such a post will not now be limited to the Staff allowances, but will involve the increased charge of his Regimental pay, which in the case of a Captain is £211 per annum.

pay and

2. As the conditions on which Aides-de-Camp have been, allowed to Colonial Governors have been that the whole additional charge shall be met by the Colony, it will in future be necessary for the Colonies either to pay the full Regimental pay of these Officers, when claimed by the War Office, in addition to the Staff pay and allowances, or which the Secretary of Estate for War thinks will be the most convenient course, to make arrangements with each Officer to pay him his total emoluments for the whole term of Service fixed for the appointment.

3. It is to be understood that the amount of the Staff pay and allowances of an Aide-de-Camp to a Colonial Governor may be fixed at such rates as each Colonial Government may decide upon.

4. The Regimental pay of such Officers will continue to be defrayed from Imperial Funds until the 31st of March next inclusive, but from that date either it must be defrayed from Colonial Funds, as well as the Staff pay and allowances, or the Officers must return to their Regiments from which they can no longer be spared.

I have the honour to be,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

The Officer Administering the Government of HONGKONG.

DOWNING STREET, 10th December, 1878.

SIR, A Correspondence having recently taken place between this Department and the Admiralty relative to the payment for coals, &c., consumed on board Her Majesty's Ships when employed in the conveyance of the Governors of Colonies and other Officials on Colonial Service, I have the honour to call your attention to Lord KIMBERLEY'S Circular Despatch of the 13th of December, 1871, on the subject, and to inform you that whenever a Governor requires a Queen's Ship for any purpose which the Naval Authorities do not consider to be part of her ordinary duty, the cost of the coal will be charged against the Colony under his government, and paid by it in the first instance. If, however, the Governor should be of opinion that the cost of the service in question should be charged not against the Colony under his government, but against some other Colony or against Imperial Funds, such re- presentations as he may make to this effect will be considered, and if they appear right, the money will be refunded to the Colony under his government.

ARTICULO VI.

En los Estados de Su Majestad Británica con excepcion de las Colonias ó Posesiones extran- jeras, el procedimiento para pedir y obtener la extradición será el siguiente:-

(a.) En el caso de una persona acusada, la demanda será dirigida al Principal Secretario de Estado de Su Majestad Británica para los Negocios Extrangeros por el Representante Diplomático de España. A dicha demanda acompañará un auto de prision ú otro documento judicial equivalente expedido por un Juez 6 Magistrado competente- mente autorizado para conocer

Magistrate in London that such requisition has been made, and require him, if there be due cause, to issue his warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive. On the receipt of such order from the Secretary of State, and on the production of such evidence as would, in the opinion of the Magistrate, justify the issue of the warrant if the crime had been committed in the United Kingdom, he shall issue his warrant accordingly.

When the person claimed shall have been apprehended, he shall be brought before the Magistrate who issued the warrant, or some other Police Magistrate in London. If the evidence to be then produced shall be such as to justify, according to the law of England, the committal for trial of the prisoner, if the crime of which he is accused had been committed in the United Kingdom, the Police Magistrate shall commit him to prison to await the warrant of the Secretary of State for his surrender; sending immediately to the Secretary of State a certificate of the committtal and a report upon the case.

After the expiration of a period from the com- mittal of the prisoner, which shall never be less than fifteen days, the Secretary of State shall, by order under his hand and seal order the fugitive criminal to be surrendered to such person as may be duly authorized to receive him on the part of the Spanish Government.

(B.) In the case of a person convicted-The course of proceeding shall be the same as above indicated, except that the warrant to be tran- smitted by the Diplomatic Representative of Spain in support of his requisition shall clearly set forth the crime or offence of which the person claimed has been convicted, and state the place and date of his conviction.

The evidence to be produced before the Police Magistrate shall be such as would, according to the law of England, prove that the prisoner was convicted of the crime charged.

(C.) Persons convicted by judgment in default or arrêt de contumace, shall be, in the matter of extradition, considered as persons accused, and as such, be surrendered.

(D.) After the Police Magistrate shall have committed the accused or convicted person to prison to await the order of a Secretary of State for his surrender, such person shall have the right to apply for a writ of habeas corpus; if he should so apply, his surrender, must be deferred until after the decision of the Court upon the return to the writ, and even then can only take place if the decision is adverse to the applicant. In the latter case the Court may at once order his delivery to the person authorized to receive him, without the order of a Secretary of State for his surrender, or commit him to prison to await such order.

someterá la demanda de extradicion á un Magistra- do de Policia de Londres, requiriéndole que expida, si ha lugar, un mandato de prision contra la persona reclamada. Este Magistrado expedirá el mandato requerido si las pruebas presentadas fuessen en su opinion bastantes á justificar igual medida en el supuesto de haberse cometido el crimen ó delito en el Reino Unido.

Verificada la aprehension de la persona recla- mada, se la conducirá ante el Magistrado que dictó el auto de prision ó ante cualquier otro Magistrado de Policia de Londres. Si las pruebas presentadas justificasen con arreglo á la ley de Inglaterra la formacion de causa al detenido, en el caso de que el acto por el cual se le acusa hubiese sido cometido en el Reino Unido, el Magistrado de Policia ordenará su prision, hasta que el Secretario de Estado expida la órden para que la extradicion se verifique, y dirigirá inmediatamente á este certificacion de que así lo ha hecho, juntamente con un informe sobre el asunto.

A la terminacion de un plazo que no podrá exceder de quince dias desde que se ordenó la prision y sujecion á juicio del preso, el Secretario de Estado mandará, por medio de una órden de su puño y provista de su sello, que sea aquel entre- gado al Comisionado autorizado para recibirlo por el Gobierno Español.

(b.) En el caso de una persona condenada, el procedimiento será el mismo que queda indicado, salvo que el auto ó mandato que haya de ser presentado por el Representante Diplomático de España en apoyo de la demanda de extradicion expresará claramente el crimen ó delito por el la persona reclamada haya sido condenada, men- cionando al mismo tiempo el lugar y la fecha de la sentencia.

que

La prueba que en ese caso deberá ser presentada al Magistrado de Policia ha de ser de naturaleza que establezca que segun la Ley de Inglaterra el detenido ha sido condenado por la infraccion de que se le acusó.

(c.) Los sentenciados en rebeldía ó in contu- maciam se considerarán para los efectos de la extradicion como acusados, y serán entregados en este concepto.

(d.) Despues de verificada por mandato del Magistrado de Policia la prision de la persona acusada ó condenada, hasta que el Secretario de Estado expida la órden de extradicion, dicha persona tendrá el derecho de reclamar un mandato de Habeas Corpus. Si hiciese uso de este derecho, la extradicion se diferirá hasta que el Tribunal falle sobre el incidente, y no podrá llevarse á cabo sino cuando el fallo sea adverso al reclamente.

En este caso el Tribunal podrá mandar, sin la órden de un Secretario de Estado, la inmediata entrega del acusado al Comisionado autorizado para hacerse cargo de él, ó mantenerle en prision hasta que dicha órden del Secretario de Estado sea expedida.

ARTICLE VIII.

A fugitive criminal may be apprehended under a warrant issued by any Police Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority in either country, on such information or complaint, and such evidence, or after such proceedings as would, in the opinion of the authority issuing the warrant, justify the issue of a warrant if the crime had been committed or the person convicted in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which the Magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or other competent authority exercises jurisdiction: provided, however, that, in the United Kingdom, the accused shall, in such case, be sent as speedily as possible before a Police Magistrate in London. He shall, in accordance with this Article, be discharged, as well in Spain as in the United Kingdom, if, within the term of thirty days, a requisition for extradition shall not have been made by the Diplomatic Agent of his country, in accordance with the stipulations of this Treaty.

氲

La misma regla se aplicará á los casos de per- sonas acusadas ó condenadas por cualquiera de los crímenes ó delitos especificados en este Tratado, y cometidos en alta mar á bordo de un buque de uno de los dos países que llegase á un puerto del

·SUPREME COURT,

4th March, 1879.

Summary of cases deserving notice tried at the Supreme Court before the Chief Justice during the Criminal Sessions which commenced on the 18th February, 1879.

1. Tang A-hoi was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for 2 years with hard labour and to be kept in solitary confinement for 3 months on 3 separate occasions of one month each for unlawfully detaining a child under the age of 14 years. The evidence against this man only showed that he was in possession of the child in Hongkong. Stealing children is a very wicked act for which the law of England will punish severely every guilty person.

2. Li A-tsún, convicted of a similar offence, committed under the aggravated circumstances that he was a relative and brought the child from Canton to Hongkong, was sentenced to 2 years' hard labour, and to be twice privately whipped, receiving 25 strokes on each occasion.

SUMMARY JURISDICTION COURT,

4th March, 1879.

On the 15th ultimo, His Honour Mr. Justice SNOWDEN tried a case in which a Chinaman by the name of Ch'an.Ü sued Ng Man-k'wan of the Tak-mi Hong for $1,000, being damages for wrongful arrest and imprisonment from the 21st to the 25th of February, 1878. This case arose out of a suit which was heard in the Original Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in February, 1878, when Mr. Ng Man-k'wan sued the partners of the Un-hang-li Hong, (of which Ch'an Ü was one). The plaintiff in the present case sought to recover damages for being arrested as a part- ner of the firm. He now alleges that he was only a servant, and on account of the imprison- ment, he had been unable to obtain employment. The partnership book of the firm was produced, which was in the hands of the Official Assignee, the firm Ün-hang-li having become bankrupt, and showed that the plaintiff was a partner. His Lordship gave judgment for the defendant, and committed the plaintiff to prison for fourteen days for perjury.

Let all men who read this learn that they must tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in an English Court of justice. Every witness declares that he will speak the truth, and after that is done, to say what is false is a great offence, as it is an insult to the Court and Judge, and renders the offender liable to very heavy punishment.

The total number of schools examined amounted to 17 as against 14 in 1877 and 12 in 1876. The total number of children presented amounted to 557 as against 459 in 1877 and 390 in 1876. The passes amounted to 95 per cent. as against 86 per cent. in 1877 and 77 per cent. in 1876. Accordingly the amount total earned by the

·Grant-in-Aid Schools amounts to $4,811.53, as against $3,752.90 in 1877 and $1,707.00 in 1876. The difference in the amounts annually earned is caused, in the first instance, by the increase of the value of passes introduced in 1877, and in the second instance by a steady increase from year to year in the number of schools placed under the Grant-in-Aid system, in the number of scholars presented for examination, and the percentage of scholars who passed successfully.

The amount total provided in the Estimates

for 1879 is $4,500. Of this sum we have already spent $225 in gratuities for the best Masters of the Government.outside Schools. Adding thereto $4,811.53,now required for the Grant-in-Aid Schools, we exceed the amount provided by $536.53. There was a similar excess in 1878, but it must always be guess-work estimating beforehand the sum required for Grants-in-Aid, as it is impossible to tell beforehand how many children will be presented and what the average attendance throughout the year will be.

I did not require an Assistant Examiner, but as regards the classification of the merits of the needlework in Girls' Schools, the following Ladies kindly undertook to act as Judges, viz.: Mrs. BURDON, Mrs. KIDD, Mrs. HUTCHINSON, Mrs. GRUNDY, Mrs. G. SHARP, Mrs. U. M. NORonha, Mrs. and Miss CALDWELL.

I have the honour to be,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MARCH,1879.

POST OFFICE NOTICE.

Tea Musters.

Persons who send Musters of Tea through the

Post in tins are requested to have them made

flat or square instead of round, as it is impossi-

ble to pack round tins securely in the mail bags.

It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones

to be bulged in.

4 or 3 by 1 inches is suggested as a good

size. The tins should not have sharp corners.

Postmaster General.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. [No. 7.]

INDIA-WEST COAST-GULF OF CUTCH. Fixed Light at Entrance to Toona Creek.

Information has been received from the Political Agent at Cutch Mandvee that a light was exhibited on the 5th September 1878 from a light-house recently erected on the swampy land south of Tekra island, as a guide to vessels making for Toona, north shore of the Gulf of Cutch.

The light is a fixed white light, shown from an ordinary lantern elevated 17 feet above high water, and should be visible in clear weather from a distance of 6 miles.

The light tower—which is built of stone, and 23 feet high-stands on the eastern edge of a low mangrove swamp about three-quarters of a mile south of Tekra island, Toona creek. At high tides this swamp is overflowed, which gives the light-house the appearance of being built in the water.

Position (Admiralty Chart): Latitude 22° 55′ 30′′ N., Longitude 70° 7′ 10′′ E.

The following cases were also, in addition to those published in the last Gazette, tried at the

Criminal Sessions for the month of February.

1. Ch'an Sz was charged with stealing at night a box on board a junk at Yáu-ma Tí, which had been drawn up on the shore. He was found guilty. As he had been twice previously con- victed, he was sentenced to 3 years' penal servi- tude, and as at the time he committed the offence he was armed with a large knife, a very dan- gerous weapon, he was also sentenced to be whipped 25 strokes with a rattan.

•

2. Ch'an Shing and Lam Kai were convicted of stealing a quantity of clothing during the night, in a dwelling house. Ch'an Shing was sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labour. Lam Koi, who had been convicted twice before, was sentenced to 4 years' penal servitude.

3. Tang Hing and Tang Lung were charged with stealing clothing from a dwelling house, and also with receiving it knowing it to be stolen. Tang Hing was found guilty of stealing it and Tang Lung of receiving part of the stolen pro- perty. Tang Lung received a very good charac- ter from his master, and as it was his first offence was punished with only 3 months' imprisonment with hard labour. Tang Hing, who had been convicted six times of many bad offences before, and was also convicted at these Sessions of receiv- ing a watch knowing it to have been stolen, was sentenced to 12 years' penal servitude as an example to other men.

MAGISTRACY, HONGKONG,

11th March, 1879.

Summary of cases deserving notice decided at

the Magistracy of Hongkong, from the 1st to the

8th March, 1879, both days inclusive.

Larcenies.

1. Kwok A-chéung, a cook, was convicted on

the 3rd instant of stealing a purse containing

$2.60 and 3 pawn tickets, the property of one

Wai A-kit, and sentenced to three months' im- prisoment with hard labour.

2. Tò A-kwo, described as having no occupa- tion, was convicted on the 4th instant of stealing a pair of shoes, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour.

3. Ts'oi A-hing, a boatman, was convicted on the 6th instant of stealing a pair of trousers at Shek-t'ong-tsui, the property of Luk A-wai, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour.

4. Kò A-tam, a coolie, was convicted on the 6th instant of stealing a large piece of timber from the "Hò-lung" timber yard at Mong-k'ok- tsui, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

Embezzlement.

5. Tang A-pò, a coolie, was convicted of con- verting to his own use on the 28th December, 1878, $2, being part of some money he had been entrusted by his master to take to his family

house. The prisoner was sentenced to six

months' imprisoment with hard labour. He was

identified by the Gaol authorities as an old offender.

Ulauful possession of property.

6. Ch'an A-nang a coolin, was convicted on the 1st instant of having possession of two baskets

of bricks for which he could give no satisfactory account, and fined 10s., or twenty-one days' im- prisonment with hard labour.

POST OFFICE NOTICE.

On the 9th November, 1878, when the S. S. Charlton was leaving for Port Darwin, Cooktown, and Sydney, some Chinese put a packet on board addressed to Chau Li, Cooktown, which con- tained 92 letters for Chinese there. This packet was overearried to Sydney, and sent back from Sydney to Brisbane. Having become open in the transit, the 92 letters were sent on separately to Cooktown, each one being charged 12 cents. These letters would probably be refused by the addressees.

Chinese traders are warned to bring their let- ters to the Post Office, so as to avoid such delays and charges as those described above.

4 by 3 by 1d inches is suggested as a good

size. "The fins should not have sharp corners.

Extract from the London Gazette of Tuesday, January 14, 1879.

Foreign Office, January 13th, 1879.

The Government of France have given notice for the termination of the following Commercial Treaties with this Country:-

The Treaty of Commerce of the 23rd of January, 1860. Additional Article of 25th of February, 1860.

Second Additional Article of 27th of June, 1860. -

First Supplementary Convention of 12th of October, 1860.

[No. 94.]

His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., to The Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 28th September, 1878. SIR,--I have the honour to enclose, for your information, copies of some Minutes I felt it necessary to make respecting the night duties of the Hongkong Police, together with a report of Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent, and some returns on the subject.

2. Upon the official report of a Burglary committed in the Central District of Victoria, on the 29th of last month, I made a Minute asking for the details of the night duties of the Police Force, and the number of men in each beat on the 1st of September, 1878, and at the corresponding date in 1877 and 1876. In reply to this Minute, I received a return relating to the principal police district; where- upon I called, on the 9th of September, for similar information respecting the other Police districts of the Colony.

3. Accompanying those returns were certain volumes giving the details for each day and night of the Police duties since the year 1876. The returns were further explained by a brief report from Mr. DEANE, dated the 3rd September.

4. I understand it was the first time since the Police Commission of 1871, that these details of night duties had been called for, or in any way brought to the notice of the Executive.

5. I regretted to find that instead of the number of men on the night beats having been increased with the increasing population of the Colony, they were being diminished, and, upon the whole, I was struck with the manifestly inadequate strength of the night beats and patrols for such a place as the Town of Victoria. Accordingly I have instructed Mr. DEANE to restore the night beats and patrols to the maximum strength of the year 1876; to make weekly reports in future of the night duties, and not to alter the number in any particular district without specially reporting it.

Furthermore, I have asked him to prepare a revised plan of night beats and patrols of about thirty-three per cent. greater strength than the insufficient plan hitherto in practice; and this revised plan, I trust, with the advice and assistance of my Council, to bring into operation almost immediately.

7. In my Despatch No. 23 of 27th February, 1878, I informed Lord CARNARVON of my intention of rendering, as far as possible, the whole of the Police an armed Force. I have proceeded slowly and with due caution, in entrusting arms to the Chinese Police, and, up to this, not more than thirty or forty have been given rifles by Mr. CREAGH and Mr. DEANE. It may be possible, however, before long, to have all the night patrols of the Chinese Police armed with revolvers.

I have, &c.,

J. POPE HENNESSY.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

NIGHT DUTIES OF THE POLICE.

The following Minutes and Papers are published for general information.

By Command,

C. MAY, Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 27th September, 1878.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor, on the Police Report of the Burglary in the Caine Road on the night of the 29th of August.

I should be glad to get from the Captain Superintendent a Report of the Night Duties of the Police Force, specifying the beats, number of men, &c., at the present date, and a Statement showing the similar facts of both this time last year, and this time in 1876.

1st September, 1878.

J. POPE HENNESSY,

Governor.

Minute by the Acting Colonial Secretary.

Forwarded to Mr. DEANE for a report.

J. M. PRICE,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

2nd September, 1878.

Report called for by His Excellency the Governor on the Night Duties of the Police.

I have the honour to forward a Return of the night Duties of the Police. The time from 6 P.M. of 30th August to 6 A.M. of 31st August has been taken as a sample.

2. I enclose a Comparative Return of the same period for three years for the Central District. The other Districts had similar duties and men in these three years.

3. I enclose the Central District Duty Books for August, 1876, 1877, and a copy of the 12 hours above alluded to in 1878 as the original book is in use.

4. I also forward the rough Returns for 10th August of the men in the Force, together with a fair abstract of the same.

5. The Beat Book enclosed has virtually been unaltered since 1874. It will be observed that large as those beats are, I have rarely enough men to fill them all, in which case one man takes charge

of two beats.

W. M. Deane, Captain Superintendent of Police.

W. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.

11th September, 1878.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

1. I return the Police Books-Volumes eleven and twelve, showing the duties for 1876 and 1877-which I have perused, together with the Report of Mr. DEANE and the Returns he was good enough to prepare at my request on the night duties of the Police Force.

2. Those documents confirm the suspicions I entertained that the night beats in this Colony are undermanned.

3. They also show that in the most important District the number of the Police on regular beats between midnight and six o'clock in the morning has beer. reduced since 1876, in the case of the European Force, from 14 to 8, and in the case of the Chinese Force from about 20 to 15.

4. The Captain Superintendent also says that he has rarely enough men to fill all the beats, and that in such cases he has to order one man to take charge of two beats.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH MARCH, 1879.

139

5. Let the night beats and patrols in the Victoria District be at once restored to the maximum strength of 1876; and let the Captain Superintendent prepare for my consideration a revised scheme of night beats and patrols of about thirty-three per cent. greater strength than the maximum I refer to. 6. In future I should like to see weekly returns of the night duties, and to receive a special report before the numbers are altered in any particular district.

CULTIVATION OF THE "EUCALYPTUS" IN HONGKONG.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

should wish to see a special report by Mr. FORD on the growth of the "Eucalyptus" in Hong- kong. specimens I have seen in various parts of the Colony are not as flourishing as could be desired, but it is possible that other varieties besides the "Eucalyptus Globulosa" may be more suited to this limate-the "Eucalyptus Amygdalene" or the "Eucalyptus Citriodora" for instance.·

J. POPE HENNESSY.

by the Superintendent of the Botanical Gardens to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary.

o have to report that the condition of the trees at this time, nearly three years after not promise well for the success of the Blue Gum in this Colony. Out of the 400 which , about 100 only are now alive, and of those the majority are small and sickly. In all re the rees were planted in soil in its hard natural state (the holes made were only about two fee. square) the growth has been exceedingly weak, as a rule there being only a single unbranched stem about six ft high. But where the trees were planted in soft soil that had been artificially loosened, as by fill 1o in near to the buildings, and in the earth pit on the lower side of the Aberdeen Station, and where these situations are sheltered, the growth has been rapid and side shoots developed abundantly, but even of these trees the stems are too weak to support the heads. If the leading shoots of the trees had been shortened occasionally during 1877 and last year, no doubt the stems would have been

fficiently strong by this time to support the heads without the assistance of

to the trees.

which are still atte

props From the facts

'e us, I conclude that the climate or soil of Hongkong is totally unfit for the cultivation of Eucaly Gbulus for timber, but if the Eucalyptus has anti-malarious properties in a greater degree than o

s-which, however, is much doubt by many scientific men-and it should be considered a sable to make further trials of it here on at account, I believe that it might succeed if grown as bunes, which might be done by a proper system of pruning, and if the soil were loosened well before planting.

Eucalyptus Amygdalina and Eucalyptus Citriodora have not, to my knowledge, yet been tried in this Colony, but the latter would be likely to succeed fairly as it is indegenous to Queensland, which po sses a climate approaching the one of Hongkong. The former is found in New South Wales, ria, and Tasmania-the two latter being also the native countries of Eucalyptus Globulus-therefore not likely that it would succeed here.

Eucalyptus Platyphylla and Eucalyptus Maculata, the former indigenous to Queensland and North ustralia, the latter native of Queensland and New South Wales, have done very well indeed within our garden; they were planted about the same time as the 400 Blue Gums. Both kinds are now about 24 feet higa, their average growth being about seven feet per year.

Minute by the Honourable the Colonial Secretary.

CHARLES FORD,

Superintendent.

The Blue Gum has been tried in Mauritius and failed in the same way as here. It was believed that the climate was too hot.

21st March, 1879.

Submitted,

W. H. MARSH.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

Though it has also failed here as a tree, yet Mr. FORD's suggestion of planting the Eucalyptus Globulus as a bush may be tried, and also the experiment of growing the Eucalyptus Citriodora as it is found indigenous in Queensland. Mr. FORD can take the necessary steps for getting seeds from Queensland so as to have 4,000 Seedlings of the Eucalyptus Citriodora planted in Hongkong as Hoon as possible, in the proner planting season.

3. Whilst the schools placed under Govern-

ment supervision, and more or less supported by Government funds, have, as far as numbers are concerned, barely held their own, there appears

to have been a high rate of attendance in other

schools, not subject to Government supervision or aid. A census taken with the help of the District Watchmen showed that there were in town 1,252 scholars in private Chinese schools, to which must be added about 120 scholars in private schools in the villages. From a report published early in 1878, supplemented by the information I gathered from statements made at the close of the year regarding St. Joseph's College, I estimate the number of scholars in the various Roman Catho-

lic institutions of the Colony in 1878 to amount to about 1,120. Thus we have a total of 2,492

children who attended schools not subject to Government supervision or aid.

4. The feature of the year, in educational

respects, was certainly the great impetus given to the study of English. The warmth with which His Excellency the Governor, on all possi-

ble occasions, advocated the promotion of a knowledge of the English language and of Eng-

lish speaking among the native population of Hongkong, naturally bore its fruit. The Gov-

ernment Cerral School altered its time table, devoting to the study of English the early part of each day, forterly allotted to Chinese studies,

and gave to qustioning in English and to English colloquial onversation an amount of at- tention it had never efore received in Central

School. As to the Covernment schoo the Central School, among hich' Aber previously been the ony Anglo-Chinese

English teaching was introduced in the course of the year in three diffeent places, viz., in Wong: na-ch‘ung, Wán-tsai nd Sai-ying-phun, and final ly the establishment of a Method Class with a view to train Chinese eachers of English for em- ployment in the Villas Schools was begun, in connection with the Central School. That the in- habitants of a small har let like Wong-nai-ch'ung shold volunteer to cotribute $5 per month to- wards 't

-penses of the school, hitherto entire-

ly defra by the Government, and that they should pulate that English as well as Chinese be taught the school, is a most remarkable fact, especiay so if it be considered that for years Pst the standing complaint in all the annual reports of the Education Department was the utter indifference of the villagers with regard to education. The people of Wong-nai-ch'ung paid their quota regularly, throughout the year, and the school, which at the beginning of the year, when Chinese only was taught, numbered 9 scho- lars, of whom 2 were the sons of the master, counted an average attendance of 26 boys ever since English was introduced. Outside the Gov- ernment schools also, the special appreciation in which English teaching was held by the Head of the Government made itself felt and was warmly "esponded to by a sudden increase of private rols, both day-schools and evening-schools, +ed by Chinese or Eurasian teachers, among

whom I may specially mention Mr. GEORGE · CHAPE. Mr. CHAPE conducted last year a private

day-school, unsupported by private or other

means, except the fees of $2 per mensem paid by each scholar. He had an average attendance of 80 scholars, each finding his own school ma- terials. The importance of this fact will be understood if it be considered that the Central School, with an average attendance of 459 schol- ars, charges $0.50 per mensem in the lower classes and $1:00 per mensem in the higher classes, but supplies each scholar liberally with school- materials (even Dictionaries included) and costs the Government, apart from the value of the house rent, $27.54 per annum for each scholar. At the examination, lately held, of candidates for admission into the Central School, it was found that out of 114 candidates found qualified

for admission, all but 39 had been studying English in 1878, being able to read English fairly well. Among the schools from which these

came I may specially mention, besides St. Paul's

College and the school held by Mr. CHAPE, the

private schools conducted by the following mas-

ters, Mr. Lo YAM-T'ING, HO TSING-NGAM, CH'AN TS'AN-IP, LUK TIT-FO, KWAN YUN-FAT, Ts'ü KUN-NAM, CHU LUK, FUNG SEUNG-NAM, CHÜ These facts are

I must premise that, as a locum tenens, I did not feel justified to examine the whole school myself at the end of the year, because I was informed that the practice had been all along for the Head Master and the masters. in committee to conduct the annual examinations of the school themselves.

The Central School may be divided into two departments, one for English and one for Chinese teaching, an equal amount of time being devoted every day to both languages.

To begin with the English department of the Central School; there was in 1878, with an aver- age monthly enrolment of 459 scholars, an effective staff of 4 European masters, 6 native assistant rasters and 3 paid monitors. Apart from the monitors, therefore, and including among the masters both Europeans and Chinese, we had about 46 scholars to each master. Considering,

however, that none of the assistant masters can be said to pronounce English perfectly and to speak it idiomatically, it is well to note that there were in reality about 115 scholars to each European master. Moreover the native masters being per- mitted to accept outside employment when off duty-a matter which during the present scarcity

of English speaking native masters cannot be helped-used to give every day, morning and

evening, a great portion of their time to mercantile engagements or private tuition, and did not there- fore come as fresh to their work in school as might be desired. Through the alteration in the time table which was introduced by order of His Excellency the Governor in May last year, when the early morning of every day, formerly occupied by Chinese teaching, was appropriated for English teaching, there is little objection now to be raised on that score.

The European masters are competent men, and all the masters without exception I found attend- ing to their duties with exemplary punctuality and fidelity. Altogether the general organisation of the school and the masterly discipline main- tained in almost every department of it, seems to me well-nigh perfection. But as regards one or two details and the method of teaching adopted in the school, there is considerable room for im- provements.

In the first instance, in the Preparatory Classes, where the first rudiments of English pronunciation re taught, the teaching of English was left in the ands of native assistants, whose own pronuncia on is by no means perfect. Next, there is a stem in vogue in the Central School of ling

p, all through the nine classes of the school; every seat that happens to f" vacant more than two days, in consequence of which the Pre

paratory School receives a new contingent ar

regard this system as untair to th m

whom the consequent disparity of atta

among their pupils throws additional trouble, and.

as unfair to the scholars themselves, the continuity

of whose studies is thus arbitrarily interrupted. But the matter has a far more serious aspect when it is considered that anyhow the classes are too large for effective teaching and especially that the boys sit so crowded, in every class, that not only have they no elbow room in writing, but copying and prompting by whispers is absolutely im- possible to prevent. The evil of this overcrowding is most conspicuous during Chinese lessons, where from 80 to 90 boys are crowded into one class under one teacher. Thus the moral lesson of self-reliance, which the school otherwise might teach, is lost, habits of dishonesty and deception are fostered, and moreover, in a hot climate like this, among a people among whom skin diseases are naturally prevalent, such overcrowding of the classes becomes positively dangerous to health as vell as to morals. Three out of the five school- oms are very lofty and provide sufficient cubic But the rule observed in England, of hitting one boy only for every 8 square feet,

As to the method of teaching adopted in the

Central School, I am of opinion that the school is, on the whole, taught too much like an English school for English boys, in comparative disregard

of the fact that the majority of the boys neither speak English nor hear English spoken outside

the school, and that, as Mr. STEWART stated, out of 453 boys at the beginning of last year as many as 336 did not speak English at all and only 8 could speak it idiomatically. The school-books also, which were made for boys in Ireland, who bring to school a fair knowledge of English colloquial, are ill adapted for use in teaching Chinese boys, who come to school to learn English colloquial in the first instance. These school- books are far too difficult to begin with, contain too little colloquial and have too little of regular gradation, to make it easy for masters, some of whom are unable to speak Chinese and thereby prevented explaining peculiarities of idiom in an intelligible manner, to teach much English speak- ing. There is further too little attention given, in my opinion, to the practice of English com- position and to written translations from Chinese into English, which valuable means of teaching English to foreigners is at present entirely rele- gated to home exercises. English composition and written translations from Chinese into English might be used in the school as a means of teaching grammar practically, by requiring the boys, under the eyes of the master, to make and form simple and eventually complex sentences, in various ways, so as to make them thoroughly understand the practical application of the rules of grammar to the art of speaking and writing correctly. Finally the teaching of such subjects as G netry, Alge and Chemistry seems to me of dtful utility long as the majority of the hoyo.co e the Centra School, after six years of scholing, without being able to speak English, and as long as History re- mains entirely excluded from the range of sub- jects taught in the school.

As regards the Chinese department of the Central School, there is a division, made necessary by the presence of non-Chinese boys in the school, between the so called Anglo-Chir ese and Chinese classes, the former being intended for boys whose native language is other than Chinese. The pre- sence of foreign boys in the Central School is, on the whole, more an impediment than an advantage, as those foreign boys who speak English idioma- tically are too few, and, in the absence of a re- creation ground, have too little opportunity to enable the other boys to learn much English from them conversationally; whilst on the other hand foreign boys are as a rule not amenable to dis- cipline when under the tuition of native masters and necessitate special arrangements to teach them the Chinese written language, as they cannot keep pace with the Chinese boys, and require the presence of an English master during these Chinese lessons so as to maintain discipline.

Now as to the method of teaching the Chinese language, adopted in the Central School, the de- fect I noticed in the English department, viz., of following too much the methods of teaching in

vogue in England and in English schools, is here

even more glaring. The experience of centuries

has taught the Chinese a method of teaching based

on the peculiarities of the Chinese language. As

it is a language with tones, it is considered an

imperative necessity, all over the Empire, that boys should read and repeat their lessons aloud.

This is prohibited in the Central School. As the

Chinese writen language is devoid of an alphabet

and consists of 44,000 different characters, 6,000 to 8,000 ofwhich are indispensable for the require-

ments o an educated man, and as there are no

plicated inflections taxing the intellect, it is an indisputably patent fact that an acquaintance

with the written language of China depends al-

most exclusively on the cultivation of a good

memory. For this reason it has been found ne- cessary in every school in China to give to tech- nical memoriter exercises an unusual amount of time, and as boys differ far more widely in elasti-

city of memory than in range of mental compre- hension, collective teaching in reading lessons is considered impractical in China, and boys are taught to read Chinese individually, going on,

each his own way, as fast or as slow as his memory

will carry him. Whilst therefore in all the schools in China class teaching is reserved for explanation of the classics, for teaching copy-writing and com- osition, it is applied in the Central School even the teaching of reading, in a modified form.

consequence is, that the results of Chinese

ng in the Central School are extremely and the teachers themselves, two of whom

graduates, are thoroughly dissatisfied with : system adopted. An English bo

pls cumacters as 成化年製, which Chinese

girlss after three years' teaching, wrote from dic- tion under the eyes of His Excellency the

vernor. And the best Chinese boys in the

ool, when I gave them a passage from one

Chinese reading books, which had been rea explained in class, to translate into English

allowing them to use Chinese-English Dictiona- ries, could not do it without being allowed the use of the Commentar And when that was placed in their hands t none could translate the passage correctly, and every one showed that even the Chinese Commentary was unintelligible to them. It is my conviction that if ( inese is to be taught properly in the Central School it must be taught according to Chinese and not ac- cording to foreign methods.

As to religious teaching in the Central School, I noticed myself, and the Chinese; masters ac- knowledged in conference, that th teaching given in the Central School is really not secular teach- ing, pure and simple. In English reading lessons, 's are used which contain religious lessons, se are invariably skipped. The fact that

the moment a chapter is reached containing any

Bible story or where the concluding sentence of the chapter supplies a moral with the slightest

reference to anything specifically Christian, that chapter or that concluding paragraph is at once ta- booed and the next following chapter taken, is most unfortunate, as it impresses the boys, in the strongest possible manner, with the notion that Christianity itself is discountenanced in the Central

School. On the other hand, Chinese reading books used in the Central School are replete with arguments and exhortations in favour of ances-

tral worship, contain a good deal of Buddhist and Tauist teaching, are even, as in the case of Mencius, calculated to foster a decidedly anti-

foreign spirit, yet these passages are not skipped. On the contrary, the Chinese masters told me that

they, in oral explanation, endeavour to bring home this kind of teaching to the hearts and minds of their pupils. Nor can the masters be

blamed for doing so, as they conscientiously

believe in such doctrines themselves. To counter- act the manifest unfairness of this state of things, there were some years ago Chinese school-books prepared by a Government School-book Com- mittee, supplying the rudiments of secular know- ledge, of which these Chinese class books above mentioned are devoid, and giving also the ele- ments of Christian religious teaching. But these Government school-books are not taught by the Chinese masters in the Central School.

The cost of the Central School will be found detailed in Table IV. It will be seen from that table that the total of expenditure for the Cen- tral School was $11,865.58年) against $9,945.87 in 1877, showing an increase of $1,919.71. In

explanation of this apparent excess I have to state that on account of the Head Master's-ab- sence on leave, on half salary, an extra vote was necessary for half of the salary of the present Acting Second Master ($630), and that the Act- ing Third Master, being incapacitated for duty through an affection of the eyes, was on furlough on full salary for 6 months, during which time his place was filled by special assistance obtained

at a cost of $900. There were some further extra expenses incurred in connection with the training school for three young men attached to

the staff of the Central School during the second

half of the year, two of whom are now employed as teachers of English in outside schools.

6. The Government schools outside the Cen- tral School do not give much occasion for remark. The Aberdeen school had to be closed in the middle of the year owing to the incompetency and neglect of the master, in consequence of which the villagers preferred to send their children to the three other schools in the village, or to Stanley, or to Canton to school and to pay there for their education rather than having them gratui.ously under the charge of a master who did not attend to his duties properly. But although thus the only outside school in which ir, former years English had been taught was closed, there were, as I remarked above, three other schools provided with English teaching, viz. :--- Wong-Lai-ch'ung,

But I feel confident that in Wán-tsai and Sai-ying-p‘ún it will sooner or later be found necessary to enlarge the teaching staff in order to meet the demand for English teaching in these localities. All the other Gov-

ernment schools, outside the Central School,

give only vernacular teaching, and the amount

and quality of instruction they provide is no

better than that of an ordinary village school in

the interior of China. Some of these schools are

called Aided Schools, because the original ar-

rangement was that for each of these schools the

respective village community should provide one

half of the teacher's salary in kind and the Gov-

nment provide the other half in money. In

"ity however the teacher levies a rate on each

fixed principles, it is high time to alter those

rules and make them stricter throughout. If this is done, there will then be no reason to reduce

the value of passes which otherwise would seem far too high for the requirements of schools giving vernacular teaching only.

There have been many complaints in the course of the year on the part of managers of higher schools, giving not merely vernacular teaching, but a European Education with or without Chi- nese teaching in addition, as to the comparatively

small value of passes in such expensive schools

scheme, introduced but as a tentative measure, requires revision also with a view to enable those Protestant and Roman Catholic schools of the Colony which at present find themselves prevent- ed partaking of the benefits of this, in its leading principles, excellent scheme. One great objection is the requirement of 200 daily attendances of 4 hours each at secular instruction.

There are other objections to the Grant-in-aid system. The greatest in my own mind, and which I have never heard any one mention yet, is this, that hitherto the Grant-in-aid system has entirely failed to gain for itself the appreciation of the native community. Iknow of 58 schools kept and paid by Chinese residents, and if we add the night schools for English teaching, the number of schools, all secular school ept by the Chinese community will scarcely befund o fall short of a hundred. Nevertheless there is not one such school, managed by Chinese, under the Grant-in- aid scheme. The reason is not that the Chinese object to take the money of the Government, nor would they object to take the money on the basis of a strict examination by competent examiners at the end of the year. What they object to is the amount of official interference the scheme

implies and the complicated set of conditions by which it is hedged in. A scheme like the Inter- mediate Education Act (Ireland) for 1878, which

is also based on the principle of payment for results in secular teaching, but has none of the officious meddlesomeness of the Hongkong scheme, would be far more likely, in my opinion, to gain the sympathy of all classes of the com- munity and stimulate education with true im- partiality and genuine liberality by enlisting under its banner in harmonious emulation the now divided camps of secular and religious edu-

cationists of the Colony, the native as well as the foreign schools on the whole island.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 2ND APRIL, 1879.

GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL,

HONGKONG, 13th January, 1879.

SIR, I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report for the Central School for 1878.

2. On the departure of Mr. STEWART for England on leave, several important changes were made in the Staff of tile schoo School. The first was the separation of the duties of the Inspector of Schools from those of the Head Master; the second, the appointment of Mr. ARTHUR as the Acting Second Master, and of Mr. MURRAY late of the Independent College, Taunton, as Fifth Master, in order to compensate for the absence of Mr. BALL, who in consequence of illness was permanently incapacitated for duty. In November, Mr. PIERCY, the Fourth Master, acting on the advice of his medical adviser, resigned, and Mr. MCKINNEY, of the Surveyor General's Department, was at once tranferred to the School.

3. It was natural to expect that these numerous changes would inconvenience and retard the progress of the School to a certain extent; I have however to report that the various masters speedily settled down to their work, and the work went steadily forward without interruption.

4. As the absence through sickness among the Staff has been less than in former years, and as the duties of the Inspector of Schools did not trench upon the time of the Head Master, the work according to the time-table was more continuous, and therefore a higher standard at the annual examinations just concluded has been attained. ⚫ have reason also to anticipate in the year upon which we have entered even a higher degree of attainment, when the School derives the full advantages of the services of Mr. MAY, who has been recently appointed to the Thd Master-ship vacated by Mr. BALL. 5. A steady attempt has been made to facilitate the acquirement of English Speaking during the year. I may mention that it has always been a rule of the School that English Masters in front of their classes were on no account to speak Chinese unless compelled. In addition to this, an entry to the following effect has been made in the time-table, that in ery lesson, whether taught by an English Master, or a Chinese Assistant Master, questioning in English was to be employed not only as a test, but in order to facilitate the acquisition of Colloquial English. In the lower classes, the progress, in Colloquial, as far as regards the subject matter of their lessons, has been most marked. I even attribute the high marks obtained by the pupils in the written examinations partially to this source. The amount of matter read this year may not have equalled that of previous years, but the comprehension of what has been read has been far more general over all the classes, as the papers in translation from English into Chinese and from Chinese into English sufficiently show. 6. In the first class I insisted upon the repetition of from six to eight lines from Standard prose authors morning. This I made the subject of corversation either between the boys and myself or between the boys themselves. every By this mea I was able to provide subject matter for practice in English Speaking. The result so far has been satisfactory, I anticipate that when the system has had time to develop, and the boys now forming the lower classes have been du romoted to the Upper School, that English Speaking will become very much more general provided that ufficiently long at School for the purpose. I also have devoted an hour a week for Colloquial through

W. H. MARSH,

The Court finds:-(1). That the British Steamer Yesso, Official No. 48,343, left Swatow at about 6.10 on the evening of the 17th of March with a crew consisting of 63 persons; she had on board about ninety passengers, $100,000 in specie, 200 chests of opium, 50 tons of lead and a general cargo, and was wrecked on the White Rocks at about 11.15 of the same night in attempting to pass through the Channel between the Lamock Island and the White Rocks.

(2). At 10.45 P.M. the Master assumed his position to be the Lamock Island bearing E. by N. distant about 6 miles and subsequent events give reasonable proof that this was correct.

(3). At this position the Master seems to have been deceived in his estimation of the distance of

(4). From the evidence of all the Witnesses examined, the night appears to have been exceedingly dark and the Court is of opinion that the Master should have used every means of ascertaining his position accurately, which he had means of doing, and which he neglected to do.

(5). The Court therefore adjudges that the Certificate of Competency, No. 17,854, of the Master, SAMUEL ASHTON, be suspended for a period of three months from this date.

(6). The Court desires to express its opinion that good discipline was maintained after the wreck, and credit is due to the Master, Officers and Crew for preventing any greater loss of life than one boy, there being 153 persons on board at the time of the accident.

It is desirable to mention the praiseworthy conduct of the Crews of two Fishing boats who rendered assistance in saving life, and also to mention the kindness and ready aid afforded by the Master, Officers and Crew of the British Steamer Gaelic.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this the twenty-sixth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine.

(4). From the evidence of all the Witnesses examined, the night appears to have been exceedingly dark and the Court is of opinion that the Master should have used every means of ascertaining his position accurately, which he had means of doing, and which he neglected to do.

(5). The Court therefore adjudges that the Certificate of Competency, No. 17,854, of the Master, SAMUEL ASHTON, be suspended for a period of three months from this date.

(6). The Court desires to express its opinion that good discipline was maintained after the wreck, and credit is due to the Master, Officers and Crew for preventing any greater loss of life than one boy, there being 153 persons on board at the time of the accident.

It is desirable to mention the praiseworthy conduct of the Crews of two Fishing boats who rendered assistance in saving life, and also to mention the kindness and ready aid afforded by the Master, Officers and Crew of the British Steamer Gaelic.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this the twenty-sixth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

Whereas by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that "whenever "it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of Mer- "chant Ships. for the time being in force under the principal Act have been adopted by the Govern- (6 ment of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by "Order in Council, to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be of the "tonnage denoted in their Certificates of Registry or other national papers, and thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be re-measured in any port or place in Her Majesty's Dominions, "but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of Registry, or other papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificates of Registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such "ships:"

}

And whereas by "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1876," it is enacted that when Her Majesty has power under The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, or any Act passed or hereafter to be passed amend- ing the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time to "revoke, alter, or add to any Order so made:"

66

And whereas by an Order in Council dated 29th day of February, 1868, Her Majesty, to whom it was made to appear that the said rules for the measurement of the tonnage of Merchant Ships had been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of Denmark, was pleased to direct that the ships of Denmark, the certificates of Danish nationality and registry of which were dated on and after ⚫ the 1st October, 1867, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said certificates of Danish

nationality and registry:

And whereas certain modifications have been recently made in the rules concerning the measure- ment of tonnage of Merchant Ships in force in Denmark, whereby, from and after the 1st day of October, 1878, the allowance for engine room in certain steam ships will be estimated in a mode differing from that in force in this country:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that it is desirable to alter the said Order in Council, so far as the same applies or relates to the mode of estimating the allowance for engine room in Danish steam ships; Her Majesty is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct, as regards Danish steam ships that if the Owner or Master of any Merchant Ship belonging to the said Kingdom of Denmark, and measured after the said 1st day of October, 1878, which is pro- pelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, desires the allowance for engine room in his ship to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and allowance applicable to British ships, instead of under the Danish rule, the engine room shall be measured and the allowance calculated according to the British rules.

6

HER MAJESTY is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct, that the ships of Denmark, the certificates of Danish nationality and registry of which are dated on and after the said first of October, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said Certificates of Danish Nationality and Registry.

SUPREME COURT,

Hongkong, 21st April, 1879.

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court

during the Criminal Sessions which commenced on 18th April, 1879.

Chan A-hi and Wong A-loi both of San On, boat boys, were convicted of breaking into the house of Yow A-cheong at Yau-má-ti and steal- ing therefrom a pillow box containing several articles of clothing, some silver ornaments and sundry moneys. Three previous convictions

against the first prisoner were proved and he being an old offender was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. No previous conviction being proved against second prisoner he was sentenced to imprisonment for one year.

Wong A-sing of Tung Kun, hawker, was con- victed of stealing $2.80 from the person of Tang A-chik at the Chinese Recreation Ground. There were two previous convictions proved against this prisoner and as he was an old offender he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

Yung A-sing of Pün Ü, seaman, was convict- ed of stealing a bangle from the arm of an infant named. A-kow. There being no previous convic- tion against this prisoner he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment only.

Chan A-shap and Lau A-chin of Suh Ping, traders, were found guilty of stealing a ring. Chan A-shap was the actual thief. Lau A-chin was in the shop aiding and assisting. He was equally guilty. Chan A-shap was sent to prison for two years with hard labour. Lau A-chin was sen- tenced to be kept in penal servitude for three years, he having been twice formerly convicted.

Ün A-cheung of Tung Kun, hawker, was con- victed of child stealing. He said that he found the child lost in the street. If his intentions had been good he would have taken the child to the nearest Police Station instead of carrying it off to Ap-li-chow and abandoning it there.

He was

sentenced to three years' penal servitude with

three months' solitary confinement in each year.

He might have been sentenced to be three times flogged.

SUPREME COURT,

Hongkong, 21st April, 1879.

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court

during the Criminal Sessions which commenced on 18th April, 1879.

Chan A-hi and Wong A-loi both of San On, boat boys, were convicted of breaking into the house of Yow A-cheong at Yau-má-ti and steal- ing therefrom a pillow box containing several articles of clothing, some silver ornaments and sundry moneys. Three previous convictions

against the first prisoner were proved and he being an old offender was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. No previous conviction being proved against second prisoner he was sentenced to imprisonment for one year.

Wong A-sing of Tung Kun, hawker, was con- victed of stealing $2.80 from the person of Tang A-chik at the Chinese Recreation Ground. There were two previous convictions proved against this prisoner and as he was an old offender he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

Yung A-sing of Pün Ü, seaman, was convict- ed of stealing a bangle from the arm of an infant named. A-kow. There being no previous convic- tion against this prisoner he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment only.

Chan A-shap and Lau A-chin of Suh Ping, traders, were found guilty of stealing a ring. Chan A-shap was the actual thief. Lau A-chin was in the shop aiding and assisting. He was equally guilty. Chan A-shap was sent to prison for two years with hard labour. Lau A-chin was sen- tenced to be kept in penal servitude for three years, he having been twice formerly convicted.

Ün A-cheung of Tung Kun, hawker, was con- victed of child stealing. He said that he found the child lost in the street. If his intentions had been good he would have taken the child to the nearest Police Station instead of carrying it off to Ap-li-chow and abandoning it there.

He was

sentenced to three years' penal servitude with

three months' solitary confinement in each year.

He might have been sentenced to be three times flogged.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Despatches have been laid before the Legislative Council.

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

209

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th April, 1879.

[No. 63.]

His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., to the Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 30th July, 1878.

SIR, I find it has not been the practice here to give leave certificate to Police Officers who pro- ceed to England at the completion of their five years' period of service. Something of the kind how- ever seems to be desirable, as they often wish to re-enlist again, and I would venture to suggest that some modification in the form of leave certificate in the Colonial Regulations may be sanctioned in such

cases.

2. Recently Mr. HORSPOOL, the Acting Chief Inspector, left for England on the termination of his period of service. I understand he is willing to come out again, and indeed I should not be sorry to see so worthy an officer promoted to the long vacant post of Assistant Superintendent of Police, the salary of which is £400 a year.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

(Signed,)

The Right Honourable

Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, BART., M.P.,

Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies,

&c.,

&c.,

&c.

J. POPE HENNESSY.

The Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P., to His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G.

HONGKONG,

No. 13.

DOWNING STREET,

30th January, 1879.

SIR,—In consequence of a letter from Mr. GEORGE HORSPOOL, dated the 9th of January, copy of which is enclosed, I decided to adopt, in a modified form, the recommendation made in the 2nd paragraph of your Despatch No. 63 of the 30th July last.

2. On condition that Mr. HORSPOOL re-enlists for a further term of five years' service in the Hongkong Police, I have appointed him to the permanent position of Chief Inspector of that Force, on a salary of $1,440 a year.

3. I enclose for your information copies of the further correspondence which has passed with Mr. HORSPOOL on this matter, and I have desired him to proceed to the Colony without delay, and directions have been given to the Crown Agents to prepare the usual agreement and to provide passage.

4. The vacant appointment of Assistant Superintendent of Police is, by the foregoing arrangement, abolished, and the salary of the place, namely £400, will henceforth be removed from the Estimates.

I have the honour to be,

Sir.

Your most obedient humble Servant,

Governor HENNESSY, C.MG

The least water discovered was on the "Hugh Rose rock," which lies N. N. E., E., distant 24 miles from Alguada reef light-house. This rock-on which the Ship Inchmarnock struck in April 1877-has only from 3 to 4 feet water on it at low water.

Also that the Alguada reef light-house lies S. 9° 30′ W. (true), distant 15 miles from the pagoda on Pagoda point, and S. W. by W., distant nearly three quarters of a mile from the position at present assigned to it on the charts.

Mariners are cautioned that the passage between Alguada reef and Diamond island is absolutely barred, and is most dangerous,

[Bearings are Magnetic, except where otherwise noted. Variation 2° 30′ E. in 1879.]

resolutions, but that I had asked them to abandon

that idea. They were good enough to take my

advice; but they have embodied their views in

the form of an Address, in Chinese, to Her Ma-

jesty the Queen, which, at their request, I have the honour to lay before you for presentation to the Queen.

2. On the receipt of this Address, I called for the report which it is customary to make on native documents. The report was made by the Acting Chinese Secretary, Dr. EITEL, the Acting Regis- trar General, Mr. GERRARD, and the late Acting Registrar General, Mr. TONNOCHY. These gentle- men appear to have verified the seals or signatures, which, they say, amount to two thousand two hundred and eighteen. I understand it is the

largest number of seals or signatures of Chinese

shops or firms that has been appended to any document of the kind in this Colony.

3. I have also the honour to enclose a transla- ti of the Address, which is far more flattering

3 than I at all deserve.

There is no special reason that I know of 7 the Chinese subjects of Her Majesty should me a compliment, beyond the fact that I

e always endeavoured to hold the balance

ly between the different races and the some-

conflicting commercial interests in Hong-

This will, perhaps, be admitted by all

us in course of time.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient. ervant,

The Right Honourable

J. POPE HENNESSY.

Address from the Chinese Community.

(Translation.)

The petition of the Committee of the Wa-t'o Hospital and the traders and people of the whole (Colony) of Hongkong, in the matter of the general loyal rejoicing of the people over the equitable administration of the Government (which led to)the united signing(of the present Address), humbly praying that it be forwarded to Her Ma- jesty the QUEEN of Great Britain, in order that the feelings of Her subjects be set forth-

Sheweth:--

That ever since the Colony of Hongkong has

been established, there has not been one who

understood so well the great principles of govern- ment as Governor HENNESSY.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7тH MAY, 1879.

That, hereas the Imperial Government has

secured the services of such) a man, both

and people unite in rejoicing (over the fact), and therefore the whole of the (native)

population of Hongkong do join in this public

declaration as follows:-

Governor HENNESSY alone knows how to

extend clemency and how to show mercy. Ever

since his arrival in this Colony the fame of his

excellent administration spread abroad. For occasionally he commuted a sentence of death

into imprisonment for life. Justly did he change

an old custom in flogging, substituting the thighs for the shoulders. His mind embodies (indeed)

the principles of Heaven and Earth and his virtue dwells in the cherishing of life. He does

not give severity of punishment the first place, for his methods of reform are thoroughly spiritual, and his energy and cleverness regarding schemes of good government is truly (animated by) a striving for the truth. (He treats) Chinese and Foreigners as one community, making no distinction whatever of nationality. (The fact that the people here may) dwell in comfort and rejoice in their property is (entirely due to) his influence

reaching both the traders and the common people.

(Truly) among (all) the great officers of antiquity,

there are few to be compared (with him). Looking up to his pleasant countenance, so full of sympathy, (one feels) drawn to him. The memorial (of his fame) is in the mouth of the people in the public shots. Who is there that does not rejoice (over him)? Unexpectedly,

however, the fulness is virtue was turned into an occasion formny and disaffection, when, on account of the distress caused in the inland districts by the simultaneous advent of both dearth of grain and scarcity of vegetables,

robberies and seditious risings flared up wildly,

the evil reaching even to the maritime districts (near Hongkong). When, all of a sudden, a certain burglary inadvertently occurred, malicious talk rose up in bubbles, a public meeting was called, for both Chinese and Foreigners, but the Chinese were insulted, they were not allowed

to take part in the discussion, they were without provocation hooted, till their assembly was scattered on the spot, which they left restraining

every feeling and repressing every utterance. (This whole affair), fróm first to last, has (therefore) been (herewith) stated in writing (to be sent a distance of) ten thousand miles (in order) to knock at (Her Majesty's gate, desiring (not only) that he (the Governor) stay his full term of office to spread abroad (here) his merit and worth, but further humbly praying that he stay here a further term, (by which measure Her Majesty would be) adding favour to favour.

The signatures ve been prepared and appended (with a view) jointly to set forth the feelings of the people, for the wishes of the whole (native) community (formed, as it were,) one compact city, (as declared in) this present document drawn up with due reverence.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MAY, 1879.

The signatures thus appended by the whole

(native community of Hongkong) are herewith

respectfully presented, and conjointly submitted

to His Excellency the Governor with the humble

prayer that he may be graciously pleased to forward' the whole, sending it to Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies for presentation to the throne, in order that the feelings of( Her Majesty's) subjects may be brought to the notice of the highest (authority) and the whole (native) community of Hongkong, traders and people, be put under the deepest obligation. For all conjointly and unanimously revere and laud Her Majesty the Queen's happiness, longevity, benevolence and compassion.

May Her Majesty be graciously pleased to grant this petition and act accordingly.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH MAY, 1879.

Report by Dr. E. J. Eitel, M. S. Tonnochy, Esq.,

and John Gerrard, Esq.

This purports to be the Petition of the Committee of the Wa-t'o Hospital and the merchants and people of the whole Colony of Hongkong. All the signatures have been scrutinised and verified in the most painstaking manner and the res- pective occupations of each signatory ascertained. The results of this scrutiny are as follows: The document bears in the aggregate 2,218 seals or signatures, of which 2,010 are those of shops or firms in the town of Victoria, and 208 in the villages of Kowloon and Hongkong.

25 of the seals in Victoria and 3 in the Villages are illegible, the impress of the stamp being imperfect. The Eastern part of the town supplies 271 seals, the central part 1,297, and the Western 417, and, as mentioned before, the Villages 205, not counting the 28 seals which are not recogni- sable.

It may be interesting to know that the signa- tories to the Petition in the town of Victoria are

of every trade and occupation as will be seen by the list enclosed.

246

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH MAY, 1879.

I am now about to propose, is the most illustrious

guest that ever sat at this table. I do not refer so much to the military achievements which will for ever rank the name of ULYSSES GRANT with those of WASHINGTON, WELLINGTON, and NAPO- LEON, but to those other achievements, indicated

by Lord BEACONSFIELD, when he truly said that the future of civilization is indissolubly bound

up in the future of the United States-those

other achievements, accomplished by the tolera-

tion, resolute strength, and love of justice of the statesman, when the sword of the soldier was laid aside. Two years have gone since he first

saw, at Cork harbour, the shores of the British Empire. During that time he has visited the Old World, breathed the Scotch air of his ances- tors, and passed on from point to point of QUEEN VICTORIA'S dominions; and now, on leaving this Island and crossing the Pacific to his own home, he is about to part with that Empire, throughout the whole of which he has been received with one long ovation of respect and affection. As the

QUEEN's representative, and in the name of every

one in this Colony, I thank him for giving us

this opportunity of showing him that we all ap- preciate his character and career.

Will you forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, if I presume to add that there are one or two per- sonal reasons also why it affords me peculiar

pleasure to see General GRANT at my table. During the whole of those ever-memorable years, from the day when he drilled his company of volunteers at Galena, to the capture of Richmond and the surrender of the rebel army, I was in a small way mixed up in public affairs in England, as a member of that assembly, the power of which, for good or evil, is not confined within the bounds of England's Sovereignty. It is now a matter of history that in both Houses of the

British Parliament "there were friends and foes of Freedom, but we may recall with pride the fact that two men so diverse in person and dispo-

sition and party relations as JoHN BRIGHT and BENJAMIN DISRAELI, were sagacious enough to know that the honour of their own Country and the welfare of the World were associated with the cause for which ULYSSES GRANT was contending. Whilst BRIGHT was repairing the blunders of one or two eminent men of the Liberal party, the great Conservative Chief was, to my own per- sonal knowledge, labouring night and day to counteract unreasoning prejudice amongst his own followers, and it is ever to me a source of intense satisfaction that, though in a very hum- ble way no doubt, I was one of those members of the House of Commons who loyally supported his prudent and patriotic policy. But this is not the only personal reason that is present to my mind to-night. I am a citizen of Cork. I come from that corner of the Old World nearest, and not least dear, to the United States; and on behalf of my fellow citizens I now assure General

GRANT that in no part of the civilised globe would he have received a heartier welcome, if he had honoured us with a visit, than in my native city. I now invite you to drink his health, and

will ask you not to forget the charming lady at my right, and her family; for, within the last few minutes, a telegrain has reached them from London, announcing the birth of a grand-child, so that General GRANT, though still compara-

tively a young man, younger indeed to-day than was WASHINGTON when he first became President, has, as a grandfather, added another little link to unite the two countries together. I give you, with all my heart, the health of General GRANT.

As you have said, I am about to leave the British and pass into the Chinese Empire. I have met no gentlemen so kind as the gentlemen

of England. For this reception, more especially for the reception in Hongkong, I am grateful, as I know my friends and countrymen at home are grateful for the kindness that I have been honoured with during the last two years. I do not know that I can say anything better, nor

anything which is nearer to my heart, now that I am leaving the British Empire, than to ask you all to unite in this sentiment: The perpe-

The General's toast was drunk by all the guests upstanding. Soon after, the ladies retired to the large drawing room, and at ten o'clock General GRANT, the Governor, and the Aide-de-Camp, with Mrs. GRANT and Mrs. HENNESSY, proceeded to the vestibule, where every person, on arrival, was received and presented to the General by the Governor. These presentations lasted for more Ethan an hour.

THE ADDRESS.

(Translation read by Mr. Ng Choy).

To General ULYSSES S. GRANT, late Presi-

dent of the United States of America

and Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.

SIR,-On the occasion of your honouring

Hongkong with your presence, we, the under-

signed, 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.

During your Presidency, your great name and noble deeds were well known far and wide, and by the carrying out of a just policy you com- manded admiration and respect from all classes of people under your rule.

We have been delighted to find that in inter- national 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 con- tinue 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 favoured 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.

General GRANT, replying, sail:Mr. NG Cor and Gentlemen, I thank you for this valuable address. It will be kept by me as a pleasing anemento 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 enter- prise. 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 anust 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.

At the request of His Excellency the Governor, Mr. NG CHOY introduced the other members of the deputation to the General.

The deputation then withdrew.

The address, which was sixteen feet long by four feet wide, and extremely handsome, was embroidered in gold on a strip of crimson satin about ten feet long. with a rich deep border ex- quisitely 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.:一惠及華民(“Wai Kap Wa Man" Benefit to Chinese people).

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following letter from the Superintendent of the Botanical Gardens is published for general information.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

[No. 12.]

BOTANICAL GARDENS,

HONGKONG, 7th May, 1879.

SIR,-I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, the , appended statistics on plant and seed exchanges which have been conducted by this department since

it was made a separate establishment on the 15th of March, up to the end of April last.

The following are introductions of special interest:-

Reana Grass, (Euchleæna luxurians, Dur.), received from Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER, Director, Royal Gardens, Kew. This was figured, and described by Sir J. HOOKER, in the Botanical Magazine for March. Sir J. HOOKER says "Few fodder grasses have of late years attracted more attention than the magnificent plant here figured, whether for its supposed value or for its botanical interest." In the Water-Lily house at Kew it grew fifteen feet high last year. The plants of it here are growing remarkably fast, and when distributed it will probably spread rapidly and prove a valuable addition to the fodder grasses of this Colony. It is a native of Guatemala.

Bamboo. The one called "Mow Chuk" has, after many fruitless attempts to

obtained by the kind assistance of Mr. HELLAND of the Foochow Imperial Arsenal. This it, been

the largest and one of the most valuable of the genus.

BEE.

This is probably

Chrysanthemum cuttings of the very best kinds have been kindly contributed by Mr. CHOW CHEE

In compliance with a request from Dr. CHANG, of the Tung Wa Hospital, some vegetable produc- tions have been supplied for medicinal

purposes.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Honourable W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

W. M. DEANE,

Captain Superintendent of Police,

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

Let me see the record of the enquiry when he

was fined $6 in May, 1877.

66

J. POPE HEnnessy.

3rd May, 1879.

Report by Captain Superintendent of Police. Extract from Defaulter's Evidence Book.

"33, FREEMAN, neglect of duty. Mr. CAMERON

states at 10 P.M. on 24th, defendant did not put

“ Indians on duty.

“ Fined $6.”

"C. V. CREAGH,

66 Acting Captain Superintendent of Police."

W. M. DEANE,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

3rd May, 1879.

66

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST MAY, 1879.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

Call on Inspector CAMERON to furnish a more

minute account of the neglect of duty in question.

J. PoPE HENNESSY.

8th May, 1879.

Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police.

P. C. FREEMAN was in charge of Hung Hòm Station. At 10 P.M. he ought to have sent the

Indians on duty. At midnight the Inspector of the District visited the theatre at Tò Kwa Wan, arrested a man, and found no Constable there. He went to Hung Hòm, and found FREEMAN and

the Indians (who ought to have been on duty) in their beds.

9th May, 1879.

W. M. DEANE,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

I do not quite understand the last paragraph in the Captain. Superintendent's letter, of the 1st of May,1879. Ask him to explain what he means by saying “I enclose his (JOHN FREEMAN'S)

“ character roll, which would count for ten years “ service as very good.”

J. POPE HENNESSY.

14th May, 1879.

Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police.

I have the honour to report that the amplified meaning of the paragraph referred to is to this effect:

JOHN FREEMAN has served ten years, and re- ference to his character roll shows that during that period of service he has only been fined on three occasions, and that on none of those occa- sions did the fine amount to $10 (which sum denotes a“serious offence”). Therefore, as the number of offences are few when the number of years he has served are considered, his character on his discharge certificate would be marked

·very good.”

W. M. DEANE,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor. 1. In this case it rests with me to decide whe- ther P. C. JOHN FREEMAN, who was enlisted in our Police Force ten years ago in Hongkong and who is now retiring on pension, should receive the three months' pay (as a sort of gratuity in addi- tion to the pension) amounting to $120, being the sum he can receive under section 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1869, or whether the greater favour of giving him $250 (payable to Constables enlisted in the United Kingdom) should be allowed to him.

2. In bringing this question before me, the

Captain Superintendent adds that JOHN FREEMAN'S

character roll counts for ten years' service as “Very good.”

3. But on looking through the character roll,

I find eight offences recorded, some no doubt not very serious, but one so grave that it is impos-

sible for me to overlook it. It is an offence des- cribed in the character roll as " gross neglect of

duty,” and, on calling for the details, the Captain Superintendent states that it was a case in which P.C. FREEMAN being in charge of a Police Station was bound to have sent the Indian Constables on duty at 10 P.M., but that, at midnight, the Ins- pector of the district having occasion to arrest a man found no Constables on night duty, and on proceeding to the Police Station he found FREE- MAN and the Indians (who ought to have been on duty) in their beds.

4. This incident occurred in the middle of the year 1877, and though FREEMAN was then fined $6, he had again to be fined ($5) in the follow. ing month for being “asleep on duty.”

5: Though it appears to have been the prac- tice for the Captain Superintendent to record the character roll of a Constable of the Hongkong Police as “Very good " in spite of such incidents,

unless the offences were more numerous, or the fines in each case amounted to $10,-I cannot approve of it.

6. I have long been of opinion that upon the thorough performance of the Night duties of the Police Force we have mainly to depend for the prevention of crime in this Colony. I see no. reason for doubting the accuracy of the view taken * by the recent Committee of the Legislative Council presided over by the late Mr. MAY, that this Co- lony has been insufficiently policed at night time and that this has had probably more to do with the increase in some class of offences than any other cause.

7. But if I were now to ratify the Captain Superintendent's certificate that P. C. FREEMAN'S conduct has been "very good" and to give him accordingly the suggested bonus of $250, I should not be encouraging that thorough performance of the night duties of the Force that I consider to be of such vital importance.

8. The Captain Superintendent will, therefore, be good enough to revise the discharge certificate in this case, substituting a lower mark of conduct for the phrase "very good," and he will also see that FREEMAN is paid the lower bonus of $120, instead of $250.

9. This decision may appear to press hardly upon P.C. FREEMAN, who, knowing the practice that had existed here for some years past, has not unnaturally calculated on receiving a discharge certificate marked "very good" though on two

occasions during my brief administration of the

Colony, he has been fined for neglect of night

duties, yet I am sure every officer and man in the Police Force will understand that this decision

points, on the other hand, to the fact that the

Head of the Executive will not be indifferent to the faithful discharge of the night duties of the

Police and that the award of whatever bonuses or

promotions in the Police may be at my disposal,

will depend, in no small degree, on the way in

which each individual in the Force does his work

in protecting the Colony at night.

12th March, 1879.

SIR,-In connection with my Predecessor's Circular Despatch of 17th November, 1876 (of which a copy is enclosed for convenience of reference), I have the honour to forward to you herewith copies of two letters from Her Majesty's Treasury, in which you will find a statement of the rules that have been adopted for the treatment as to retiring allowances of Civil Servants who do not give their whole time to the Public Service.

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble Servant,

M. E. HICKS-BEACH.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST MAY, 1879.

The Treasury to the Colonial Office.

TREASURY CHAMBERS,

8th April, 1873.

267

SIR, I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State, that their Lordships' attention has been called to the question of granting Compensation Allowances under the 7th Clause of the Superannuation Act of 1859, to persons holding situations in the Civil Service of the State of an established character, the duties of which are not such as to require that the holder should give his whole time to the Public Service.

2. The grant of Superannuation Allowances under that Act to persons retiring from age or ill-health is limited to persons in the Permanent Civil Service of the State, as defined by the 17th Section of the Act, and is subject to the power conferred on this Board by the proviso at the end of the 2nd Section of the Act, of deciding finally on the claim of any person or class of persons for Superannuation under that clause.

3. In the exercise of the discretion thus conferred upon them, this Board have, since the passing of the Act in question, uniformly declined to recognise any claim to Superannuation under the 2nd Section of the Act on the part of persons holding situations in the Civil Service of the State, the duties of which are not such as to require that the holder should give his whole time to the Public Service, due regard being had to the claims of any such persons who might have already acquired a claim to Superannuation before the passing of the Act. My Lords do not intend to make any change in their practice in this respect

4. But the terms of the 7th Section of the Act, which provides for the grant of Compensation Allowances to "any persons retiring or removed from the Public Service in consequence of the aboli- tion of his office, or for the purpose of facilitating improvements in the organization of the department to which he belongs, by which greater efficiency and economy can be effected," appear to My Lords to justify them in extending its benefits to persons whose position in the Civil Service gives them no claim to Superannuation under the 2nd Section.

5. My Lords, however, are at the same time of opinion that a marked distinction should be made in the amount awarded as compensation for abolition or reorganization of office to a Civil Servant who would have no claim to Superannuation in the event of his retiring from the Service on account of age or ill-health, and the amount of compensation which would have been awarded to the same Civil Servant if his position in the Civil Service had been such as to give him a claim to Superannuation under the 2nd Section of the Act.

6. Accordingly, My Lords intend to observe the following rule:-When a person holding a situa- tion in the Civil Service of the State of an established character, the duties of which are not such as to require that the holder should give his whole time to the Public Service, leaves the Service under the circumstances defined by the 7th Section of the Superannuation Act of 1859, My Lords will fix his Compensation Allow- ance under that Section at an amount equal to three-fourths of the Compensation Allowance which would have been awarded to the same person under the same Section if his position in the Service had been one which gave him a claim to Superannuation under the 2nd Section of the Act.

7. It is hardly necessary to observe that the graft of Compensation Allowances under the 7th Section of the Act to persons who are in a position to claim Superannuation under the 2nd Section of the Act, is regulated by the Treasury Minutes of the 14th June, 1859 (paragraph 4), and the 17th December, 1864, copies of which were circulated at the time among the several Public Departments. Duplicate copies of these Minutes are, however, enclosed herewith for convenience of reference.

8. My Lords request that the above regulations may be made known to all persons serving in your Department, and in the Departments (if any) which are subordinate to your own, for which purpose such number of copies of this Circular and of the two Minutes above mentioned as you may require, can be had from the Treasury on application.

9. In order to enable this Board to apply correctly the regulations stated above to the several cases which are submitted to them either for Superannuation or for Compensation, My Lords have caused a new form to be prepared "of Particulars required to be furnished in reference to persons recommended for Superannuation, Compensation, or Compassionate Allowances, or Gratuities on Retirement," in which, inter alia, a heading has been inserted, requiring the Department which for- wards the case to state whether the person retiring from the Service has held a situation, the duties of which are such as to require that the holder should give his whole time to the Public Service. Some minor improvements have also been made in the wording of this form.

10. My Lords request that for the future the particulars of all cases which are submitted to them for the grant of any Superannuation, Compensation, or Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity on Retirement, may be furnished in the first instance on a form similar to the one now enclosed, copies of which may be had on application to the Stationery Office. This form will supersede the "form of particulars" now in use.

11. My Lords take this opportunity of calling your attention to the Minute of this Board, dated 14th of March, 1870, as to the importance of filling in the "date of cessation of duty," and the "date of cessation of salary," in the spaces reserved for that purpose in the form.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH MAY, 1879.

SUPREME COURT,

Hongkong, 26th May, 1879.

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court

at the Special Criminal Sessions which commenced

on the 30th day of April, 1879.

1. Fung A-yau of P'ún-ü, aged 36 years, compradore to the firm of Messrs. Nursey Kes-

sowjee & Co., was found guilty of embezzling

various sums of money amounting in the whole

to $8,083.68 which he had received on behalf of

his employers and had not accounted for to them. The prisoner was charged with embezzling these sums of money while acting as a servant to his employers Nursey Kessowjee & Co. The pri- soner's counsel argued at the trial that a com- pradore was not a servant but an agent and that therefore Fung A-yau could not be charged with embezzling the money as a servant of Nursey Kessowjee & Co., but the Chief Justice said that all Chinese compradores are servants of their employers and not agents and are bound as ser- vants to account with their employers for all monies received by them on their behalf, and if any compradore made default in accounting for and paying to his master all monies he had re- ceived as compradore he was liable to imprison- ment even for 14 years.

The prisoner when brought up for sentence put in an affidavit in mitigation of punishment, and his employers at the same time recommended him, as the Jury had done before, to the mercy of the Court. The Chief Justice said that the prisoner had omitted from his affidavit the only thing which might entitle him to consideration, namely, an explanation of what had become of the money, and had not even shewn that he was

unable to pay the amount then. He would, how-

ever, give what effect he could to the recommen- dation to mercy, and he sentenced Fung A-yau to imprisonment with hard labour for one year and six months.

2. Kwan A-fong of Nám-hoi, cook, aged 23 years, was found guilty of stealing a box of

clothes from the steam ship Ichang, and of having

returned from deportation. He was sentenced

to 3 years' penal servitude and to serve out the

residue of his previous sentence as if he had never received a pardon.

3. Li A-tak of San-úi, aged 22 years, a dis-

charged servant, was found guilty of stealing

goods from an Umbrella Shop on the Queen's

Road, and was sentenced to 3 years' penal servi- tude.

4. Alli, alias Allie; Assan, alias Bin, alias Hassan; Kitchel, alias John, alius Kechil, seamen on board the British ship Kate Waters, were found guilty of the murder, on board the said ship while on the high seas, of Wm. Frederick Geise, master, and Christopher Bowen and Henry

Hayden, officers of the said ship. Kitchel was also found guilty of the murder of a Chinaman named A-sing and of another Chinaman, name unknown, while on an uninhabited island. The three prisoners were sentenced to be hanged.

Before he did so he directed the three women Tsang A-kwai, Lam A-chan, and Léung A-luk to be brought before him and severely repri- manded them for the encouragement

e encouragement they had given to the prisoner to commit the crime and said that were it not for the money they had at their command, the prisoner's poverty, and the inducements they had held out to her, the pri- soner would not then be where she was.

A dangerous reef of corraline rock, ex- tending apparently 3 miles from shore, has been discovered to the westward of Durnford Point. Its south-western edge, which is steep to, lies W3S, 61 miles from the point. The least water obtained in this par at LWnps: was 12 feet, but the bottom app uneven over the reef.

As there are no marks on the a

An occasional current has been found setting to the eastward three or four miles from the shore.

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL,

The following Report, extracted from the Daily Press, is published for general information.

A meeting of the Legislative Council was held on Thursday, the 29th May. There were present:-

His Excellency Governor J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, (Chief Justice). Honourable W. H. MARSH, (Colonial Secretary). Honourable J. RUSSELL, (Acting Attorney General). Honourable M. S. TONNOCHY, (Colonial Treasurer). Honourable P. RYRIE.

Honourable W. KESWICK.

Honourable J. M. PRICE.

Honourable H, B. GIBB.

MINUTES.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.

NEW MEMBERS AND THE LATE MR. MAY.

His EXCELLENCY said:-Gentlemen, I have to swear in Mr. TONNOCHY as Treasurer, and my honourable friend Mr. GIBB as an unofficial member of the Council, but in doing so I think it is my duty to express, and I only re-echo what you all feel, my deep sense of the loss the Council has sustained in the death of Mr. MAY, which has taken place since the last meeting, causing one of the vacancies I had to fill up. His death is one that every one in this Colony has felt as a most serious loss to the whole community. He was, indeed, for the time he sat at this Council table, the most experienced official sitting at it. He was the oldest resident of all the members, and I am bound to say that during the whole of the time I had the honour of his acquaintance, indeed of his friendship, his great experience, his natural ability, his straightforward and honest disposition, and his thorough loyalty to the Government, all rendered him one of my most useful officers and one of the most useful members of Council. With respect to the other vacancy, it is caused by the resignation of Mr. Lowcock, and for that I have selected my honourable friend Mr. GIBB, and although Mr. GIBB is present I must take the opportunity of saying I believe it would be quite impossible for me or any other Governor to choose any gentleman in this community better fitted for a seat at this Council.

Honou able H. B. GIBB acknowledged His Excellency's remarks.

Mr. TONNOCHY and Mr. GIBB were then formally sworn in.

THE SHIPPING ACTS.

His EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, I find upon the Order of to-day, No. 1, the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Bill, the second reading; 2, the Survey of Steamships and Boilers Bill. On referring to the minutes of the Legislative Council of the 29th April, 1878, I find that the Steamship Survey and Regulation Ordinance was referred to a Select Committee consisting of the Acting Chief Justice, the Acting Colonial Treasurer, the Attorney General, and the three unofficial members of Council.-His Excellency read the minute, which went on to state that the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Bill, which included the provisions of the other Bill, was referred to the same Committee, and gave a summary of His Excellency's remarks on the Bills. His Excellency proceeded :-On the 21st November, 1878, Mr. MAY, who was then Acting Colonial Secretary, received the following letter:-

Hongkong, 21st November, 1878.

SIR, In response to a notice issued by the Government some five months since, we appeared before the Committee on the New Shipping Bill, and gave our views upon certain sections of it.

It is of considerable importance to Shipowners, who have vessels trading from ports in China to Hongkong, to know as soon as possible how the Act will affect their interests, and as a considerable period has elapsed since the Bill was referred to the Committee, we respectfully beg that you will afford us such information as lies in your power regarding the probable date when the Bill is likely to come again before the Legislative Council.

To the Honourable CHARLES May,

Acting Colonial Secretary,

&c., &c., &c.

We have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient servants,

BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE.

I find on the back of this letter the following minute of mine:-

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

Please let me know the cause of this long delay in the proceeding and report of the Select Committee,

25th November, 1878.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

Forwarded to the Honourable the Acting Chief Justice, Chairman of the Select Committee.

26th November, 1878.

C. MAY,

289

Acting Colonial Secretary.

I find the Acting Colonial Secretary forwarded this document to the Acting Chief Justice, as Chairman of the Select Committee, and then I find the following minute from the Chairman:-

The last meeting of the Committee was held July 3rd, when it was arranged that the Bill should be printed as revised for final consideration, and the Attorney General undertook, as I understand, to revise the revised Bill and prepare it for the press. This required two or three days' preparation.

I have mentioned the matter on several occasions to the Attorney General, but owing to press of business, I presume, and lately from ill-health he has not had time to attend to it.

I have written to ask the Attorney General when he can resume the business, and will let His Excellency know.

27th November, 1878.

The minute made upon that was:

F. SNOWDEN, Chairman.

Write in substance to Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE, adding that I shall do my best to expedite the proceedings of the Committee.

28th November, 1878.

Well, gentlemen, for the reason stated by Mr. SNOWDEN in this, namely, the illness of the Attorney General, I am sorry to say I have not yet received the report of that Committee. I think it would perhaps be convenient if the Acting Attorney General, who I think has seen the draft of the report, and who is probably familiar to some extent with what was done by his predecessor in office, would let us know what is now the exact stage of the proceedings of the Committee on these two Bills. I may add my own wish would be to pass as speedily as possible the Bill for the survey of steamships and boilers. The ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL.-Your Excellency, when Mr. PHILLIPPO was about to leave I tried to see what was exactly done with reference to these Bills, which he told me had been referred to a Committee of the Council, but I really found his state of health was such that I could not get much from him without going to the members again, The personnel of the Committee has changed so much, owing to Mr. SNOWDEN's absence, and other changes which have taken place, that it was impossible to get together all the members and draw up such a report as I should like to have been able to do. In the first stage I see there was some evidence taken, and the first thing discussed was this small Bill for the survey of steamships and boilers. A number of suggestions were made, but it was finally resolved that as it was to form part of the larger measure, the complete discussion should be adjourned until the larger measure was considered. There was one point noticed, which was that it did not refer to foreign steamers, and that consequently if this measure were carried out British vessels would be placed at a disadvantage as compared with vessels under foreign flags, and most of the members thought this was so inequitable that they would not be prepared to pass it. However, at this stage the matter was left over. The outcome of the whole of the discussion of the Committee was a draft report which Mr. WODEHOUSE made; this was sent to the Acting Chief Justice, who returned it to me a few days before he left. It appeared from what Mr. SNOWDEN told me that Mr. PHILLIPPO was to arrange and draw up the report, but nothing was done, and that is exactly the state of affairs at present. If the small Bill is passed in the original shape in which it was brought before the Council, I don't think there could be much difficulty, with the exception of a few omissions of schedules, but if you go into the larger question it is a very difficult one and would require much consideration. However, the other gentlemen here who took part in the discussion can go more fully into the subject than I can from what I gather from the records.

Honourable P. RYRIE.-Your Excellency, I was present at the meeting and my understanding of what took place is not exactly as Mr. RUSSELL states. My impression was that the Committee had done with the Bill until they saw it again in Council, or until they saw the report; that there was nothing to be done but to draw the report; my impression was that there was to be no more proceedings at the Committee.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-Your Excellency, the conclusion we came to at the last meeting, ac- cording to my recollection, was this, that the Attorney General should draw up the report, revise the Bill according to the suggestions of the Committee, call another meeting to revise in printed form the draft we had made, and consider and discuss the report, and, if approved of, pass it and submit it to the Governor. Therefore the detailed particulars that have just been given by my honourable friend the Acting Attorney General, to the best of my recollection are correct.

His EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, you understand that I myself, not having been a member of the Committee and having only received the communication I read to you, don't know exactly what passed, upon the whole, I think the members are agreed upon this, that no doubt a great deal of pains was taken by the Committee in going through the Bill, but that the matter was not finally settled. So far, that appears to be the state of things with regard to the Merchant Shipping Bill.

but

Honourable W. KESWICK.-It was thought that as the small Bill was an integral portion of the larger Bill we should take them together,

290

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

His EXCELLENCY.-I am a little disappointed in learning that, because, when I consented to the suggestion of referring this Bill to a Committee with the Merchant Shipping Bill, I expressed a hope that the short Bill for the survey of steamships and boilers would be brought into operation without delay, and therefore that the Committee would deal as shortly as possible with that part of the question. The Committee have given to it great discussion, and I don't say they have not acted wisely in doing So. But now they come before us as separate measures, that is, the Attorney General has before him the printed copy of the Bill for the survey of steamships and boilers, and in order that the matter may come before us in regular form, I venture to move that we go into committee upon that Bill.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-May I remark, with regard to the deviation from your Excellency's wishes, that what was understood was that, instead of there being delay, the matter would be pushed through very promptly, and therefore that in considering the small measure with the larger we should get on with the whole business. We did not anticipate such delay as has occurred.

The Council then went into committee on the Bill.

On clause 3-

of

Honourable W. KESWICK said :---The application of this Ordinance would be only to British vessels; consequently there would be a distinction between the requirements in the way of survey British steamers and those of other nationalities. I think the objection originally taken is as forcible to-day as it was then, and it is very important. It is a difficult matter to introduce anything with regard to foreign flags, but it is quite clear it is not fair to English vessels that they should have a burden to bear that is not borne by vessels under another flag. I think it might be possible to intro- duce a clause by which the inspection might be made imperative on the part of consignees, otherwise there is a spirit of unfairness in it towards our own flag.

The ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL.-In the larger Ordinance, your Excellency, I have taken notice of that, and I have inserted a clause which I thought would be satisfactory to all, to the effect that if a certificate was produced from any foreign nation to the satisfaction of the Governor of this Colony, such a survey as is here required would not be compulsory. I really think that the whole question involves such difficulties—and I have looked carefully through the books on the subject that I don't know that your Excellency or the Council would be quite justified in such a question as this, affecting shipping interests-that it would be wise to bring in that point without a reference home.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-I need hardly say, gentlemen, that when a measure of this kind comes before us I am most anxious to obtain the views of the commercial gentlemen on the Council, and the honourable gentleman who has just spoken has pointed out that this clause we are now dealing with practically applies this Ordinance to all British steamships within the waters of the Colony and excludes from its operation ships under foreign flags. The full operation of the Ordinance applies only to vessels of fifty tons and upwards plying within the waters of the Colony. Well, whether it is a steamship flying the German flag or the British flag, so long as it is plying in the Colony we could apply the Ordinance to it, but no doubt as the Bill stands, in dealing with a far more important question of steam- ships plying to other parts of the world, the survey would apply only to those flying the British flag. I understand the honourable gentleman objects to that on the ground that it would be subjecting the British shipowner to a survey to which the foreign shipowners are not subject. Well, it may be argued that the survey is one that would be useful to the shipowner; at the same time, if I understand my honourable friends, the commercial members at this table, support the view of the honourable member who has spoken, and that they would wish to have this Bill extended to the steamships of foreign nations as well as British steamships, I would be ready to give that my best consideration, because I do think that in this or any other Colony we ought to have the fairest play between all, and certainly not to place the British shipowner at a disadvantage as compared with others. The Germans, Americans, and others enjoy the advantages of this Colony, they pay not one whit more taxes than the British merchants, whilst some of them are exempt from doing duties a British merchant has to perform, and it would certainly be hard to the British shipowner that his ship should have to submit to hardships which the others would not. Therefore, if I understand the commercial gentlemen present agree with what has been said, I would be fully prepared to represent their view to Her Majesty's Government, and to send this Bill to the Government stating the view expressed by the honourable members at the Council table and asking how far Her Majesty's Government would authorise me, for I would not have the power myself, to make a change which would include foreign steamships in this clause. Honourable H. B. GIBB concurred in the remarks which had been made by Mr. KESWICK, and thought that all vessels coming to this Colony should undergo a survey.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-Under these circumstances, I will not press the Bill to-day. I shall take the opportunity of at once referring the question to the decision of the Secretary of State, and when we get his reply, which I hope will be in three months, I will communicate it to the Council. With respect to the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance, I think it is plain from what we have heard that another meeting had better be called to put that in order, and bring it before us about the same time as the other will come under consideration.

THE NAVAL YARD POLICE.

HIS EXCELLENCY moved the second reading of "An Ordinance to extend Ordinance No. 1 of "1875 to provide means for enforcing good order and discipline in the Police Force employed in the

Royal Naval Yard to the other Establishments of the Royal Navy in this Colony."

66

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

The Bill passed the second reading unopposed.

291

The ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL suggested that they might proceed with the other stages of the Bill, as it was a very simple one, but said he had not considered it.

HIS EXCELLENCY thought they had better let the matter stand over for the present.

A MISTAKE RECTIFIED.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-I think, gentlemen, the little Bill I am now going to bring to your notice is a very good illustration of the importance of letting the Acting Attorney General carefully read the last Bill. It is this:

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to amend Ordinance No. 1 of 1878.

Whereas the date of the short title of Ordinance No. 1 of 1878 is erroneous and it is expedient to correct it: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

I. Section I. of Ordinance No. 1 of 1878 is hereby amended by substituting the figures 1878 for the figures 1877 in

the said section.

HIS EXCELLENCY added that the error was discovered by the Secretary of State.

THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES COMMISSION.

HIS EXCELLENCY. Now, gentlemen, we have not done very much in the way of legislation, and I am now about to lay before you what may perhaps furnish the materials for legislation. I must frankly confess I am not at all one of those administrators who boast very much of legislation. It does not at all follow you are to measure the value of a Council or Governor by the number of Ordinances passed. It is just possible that there may be too many Ordinances, and it is essentially necessary that before we proceed to pass Ordinances we should have thoroughly mastered the subjects. upon which we legislate, and it was with that view that I have received the very valuable assistance of certain gentlemen who sat upon Commissions and Committees from time to time. I am now, as a matter of form, about to lay before you some of the reports, and I shall take the liberty after doing so of making some remarks. I thought it necessary on the 12th November, 1877, to issue a Commis- sion which recited that :-

Whereas during the progress of a Coroner's inquest held at Hongkong by JAMES RUSSELL, Esquire, Coroner for the Colony of Hongkong, and a Jury of three persons on the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th days of October, A.D. 1877, touching the death of a certain woman named Fung A-Sz, alias A-Sau, evidence was laid before the said Coroner and Jury con- cerning certain practices connected with the operation of the "Contagious Diseases Ordinance, 1867," and the suppression of unlicensed brothels: And whereas the said practices were for the first time brought to my knowledge by the said evidence: And whereas the Jury aforesaid appended to their verdict at the above inquest a special finding which, among other matters, contained the following recommendation, viz.:-"The Jury aforesaid 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."

Well, having received in proper form a copy of that finding of the Jury, I issued the Commission, and the Commissioners who were so appointed have manifestly taken very great pains. They examined the Heads of the Departments concerned, a number of the officials in the Colony connected with the administration of the Ordinance and the administration of justice, and they have gone through the records of the departments, both the Registrar General's Department and the Medical Department, and the result is that this valuable report, a mass of information, is now in the hands of the members of the Council. I have caused this to be circulated, and I now lay it upon the table.

The CHIEF JUSTICE remarked that he had not received a copy.

The CLERK OF COUNCILS explained that a copy was sent to the Acting Chief Justice during the Chief Justice's absence.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-I am informed that within the last few weeks Her Majesty's Government have decided to issue a Commission to inquire into the same legislation, its operation and effects in England, and I have already sent copies of this to Her Majesty's Government, so that the members who have been appointed on the Commission in England will have the opportunity of considering the very valuable mass of facts which have been got together by the Commissioners in this Colony.

THE POLICE COMMITTEE.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-Now, gentlemen, another and perhaps more important and practical Commis- sion was one that I issued in September, 1878. That was a Commission or Committee of the Legis- ́lative Council to consider the question of the Police Force and Crime in this Colony. My lamented friend Mr. MAY was the Chairman of that Committee. He has drawn up a brief but very clear and able report. That Committee also examined the heads of the departments concerned, that is, the Superintendent of Police and his staff; they examined my honourable friend who is now taking charge of the Gaol (Mr. TONNOCHY) and they received on all sides a good deal of advice and assistance in pur- suing their important inquiry. In the letter of appointment that was sent to them, there was put before them a mass of documents bearing on the subject, and they were further told that any other documents they might desire to consult would be placed at their disposal. The consequence was that. from time to time the Committee did ask the Colonial Secretary for information, which they obtained. The archives of the Colony were at the disposal of the Committee, and I cannot too strongly express my thanks to the Committee for their labours and for this valuable report which is the result of their investigation. That also, gentlemen, has been distributed to members of the Council, and I now lay it on the table.

292

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

THE SUPREME COURT.

1

HIS EXCELLENCY.-I also felt it necessary to inquire into another subject, namely, the practice and procedure respecting the receipt, custody and disbursements of all monies and valuable securities in the hands of officers attached to the Supreme Court. That Committee was appointed also in Sep- tember, 1878, and I am happy to say that the Commissioners who were good enough to investigate that important subject have taken very great pains with their work. Owing to the illness of the Attorney General, and also the illness of Mr. MAY, the report is signed only by two Commissioners, namely, Mr. JACKSON and Mr. WOTTON, but it is a report which I think will carry with it the public opinion of the Colony, and I have already been able to ascertain that His Honour the Chief Justice coincides in the main with the recommendations of the Commissioners. I need not enter now into the causes which induced me to issue this Commission, nor is it necessary for me to describe at any length what the Commissioners found the state of things existing to be. They say that the cash accounts in thirty-one estates in bankruptcy were under the control of one person, and had never been balanced, that in many cases the balance of estates had disappeared, that in several estates there had been overcharges of commission, that in one estate, under the charge of Mr. HUFFAM's predecessor, there had been over $1,000 overcharged, that in certain estates Mr. HUFFAM had charged commission on money never re- ceived. They say there are numerous instances of the overcharge of commission and other serious errors. They say that in ordinary bankruptcies a very eminent book-keeper examined before them found the accounts in a very confused state, so much so, that it was almost impossible to make anything of them, and that as a rule there were no papers filed with the estate. They referred to other incidents in the conduct of those officers of the court which certainly no one can read without very much regretting. They say that not only have there been grave irregularities in the accounts, but that in some instances estates that should have been wound up ten years ago remain to the present day unsettled; that it is very clear there has been no check upon any officer, but that a most lax practice has existed in the Supreme Court in respect of the conduct of business. They say that through the courtesy of the Chief Justice the Commission were able to peruse some long and valuable letters written by His Honour at different times, and these letters are printed in the appendix. The Com- missioners consider that they should be perused in connection with the report. The Commissioners then proceed to make a number of recommendations, and I will only inform the Council that, on the day I received the report, seeing at once the extreme gravity of the facts disclosed, I requested my Honourable friend Mr. MARSH, who is our Colonial Secretary and Auditor General, to confer with the Attorney General and draw at once a draft of instructions which it might be necessary to issue without any further delay, whilst some of the other recommendations of the Commissioners might be receiving more mature consideration. The consequence was that, on considering the instructions so drawn up, I directed a letter to be written to his Honour the Chief Justice and his colleague, the Acting Puisne Judge, and a few sentences from that letter will let the Council know what has been done.--His Excellency then read the letter, which was to the effect that His Excellency has decided, on the strong recommendation of the Chief Justice and the Acting Puisne Judge, that Mr. BARFF be relieved from all court duties and that he should be provisionally appointed to act as Accountant, and that he should be in charge of the duties mentioned by the Commissioners in paragraphs 3, 4, and 9, of the report. Mr. BARFF would therefore relieve Mr. PLUNKET of a part of his duties and receive the same salary as at present. His Excellency had also decided to appoint provisionally Mr. SANGSTER and Mr. Mossop, to be Deputy Registrars, in addition to their previous duties; that the Chinese shroff should be relegated to the Accountant's department, that all monies received should be lodged in the bank to the credit of the Government, all payments be made by order on the Treasury, and that the accounts should be audited monthly.

The CHIEF JUSTICE.-It was with very great satisfaction that I received this letter, because I think His Excellency will believe and must have seen that in point of fact it carries out the view which Mr. FRANCIS and I had with some care eliminated after seeing this report, but in point of fact the report itself gives me the greatest satisfaction, because it throughout refers to my frequent request for action in the matter of the officers and the business of the Supreme Court. From the time of Mr. ALEXANDER's death to the present I have urged the reconstruction of the affairs of the office and with what success the public is now well aware. My letters, at least some of them, are here, but the most important parts of these letters cannot now be found. Referring to very delicate matters, I kept no copy, and wrote my own letters to the successive Governors. The Commissioners have stated that they entirely agree with my propositions, excepting some small minutiæ. I had always had a sort of sensitive feeling about the accounts and state of the funds, but, as it is well known, I have no power in that office. There is no officer in that office who has to look to me for promotion or anything else. I have some power just to apportion the duties, and when I attempted to do that in Mr. ALEXANDER's time it was said I was interfering beyond my duty, which was judicial and not connected with the detail of that office. Years before the late catastrophe I had given expression to my views that unless something was done there would always be the risk of a catastrophe, but certainly no one expected the catastrophe which occurred. With regard to Mr. ALEXANDER himself, I certainly did not very much admire him as a public officer; he was a great deal too independent for me; I could never get any control over that office, but I believed him at the time to be the best officer in the Colony. I don't agree with the views that were put forward on a one-sided consideration

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE. 1879.

293

of the matter with regard to Mr. ALEXANDER, for whom I always had great respect, though, perhaps, not much personal liking. With respect to a man who is dead and unable to defend himself, some of the evidence I would rather should not have appeared in that paper. Now, with regard to the audit, there was originally an audit by the Auditor General, but Mr: RENNIE cut us off and told us we were to audit our own accounts. I found that out just before I left for home, when Mr. HUFFAM told me that Mr. RENNIE had said so. I quite agree with all the recommendations by the Commis- sioners. I cannot say I do concur in all their findings, because that is a matter as to which I have not had sufficient information, but from No. 1 to 13, I don't dissent from anything. They say they are my views only rather modified. The moment I saw this letter I thought the time had come to make a very respectful application to His Excellency to carry out the views expressed. The way in which His Excellency has met that request certainly calls for my very warmest thanks, because now I do feel that, with the order His Excellency has given, we shall be able to carry out the proper management of the business, and it will be between the auditor and the officers if there is the slightest error in the accounts. I remember telling Mr. PLUNKET when he came here that four times my present salary would not induce me to become Registrar. I would loose the situation within six months certain. I am not an accountant, it is no part of my education to be an accountant. A Judge, it has been said, ought not to know that two and two do not make five. His Excellency has stated in the letter that whatever is now done shall be provisional and experimental only, so that if in the working out of this matter anything is found to go wrong, we shall be able to work without any vested rights or interests created until we come to a very clear understanding of how these things are to be done. His Honour then went into the details of the new arrangement, only taking exception to the new regulation as to the shroff, who he thought was wanted in the Summary Jurisdiction Court.

FLOGGING.

✔

HIS EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, I have now also to lay on the table a paper which I think has ady been distributed, the report of a Medical Committee appointed to investigate the physical effect of flogging the Chinese on the back, and the mode of flogging in the Hongkong gaol. The interest that you take as members of the Council in a paper of this description is of this character: we have upon the statute book of this Colony certain Ordinances which prescribe the mode of flogging and these Ordinances must be carried out. The question upon which the medical gentlemen report is really as to the effect of flogging upon the back of the Chinaman, and that involves, as you know, the question of flogging with the cat or flogging with the rattan upon the breach or thighs. Now, as regards the interest of the legislature in this I will remind you that a good many persons appear to have been under the impression that the laws of this Colony prescribe flogging by the cat, and that for some mysterious reason or other the Governor of the Colony substituted flogging with a rattan for flogging with the cat. Well, I must say that when I was shown in the Gaol an instrument called the regulation cat, and when I ascertained that in one year something over two hundred floggings had been administered with that instrument upon Chinese prisoners for breach of prison discipline, I thought it my duty to tell the Acting Superintendent at that time, Mr. TOMLIN, that he had better read carefully the laws of the Colony, and when, from time to time, I saw it stated in the organs of the public press that the Governor had put a stop to flogging with the cat, that there was a time when magistrates had this power, and that they had been deprived of the power by the Governor, and that there was a time when it prevailed pretty extensively in the gaol and that the Governor had interfered with this, it did occur to me that some of those who were criticising my conduct might have turned for instruction to the laws of the Colony. They would find Ordinance 6 of 1862, Clause 6, to this effect:-

VI. Whenever Corporal Punishment shall be inflicted under this or any other Ordinance, such punishment shall in no case exceed thirty-six blows with a rattan, to be inflicted in the Presence of the Governor of the Gaol, or Superintendent of Police, or other Officer of Police appointed for that purpose.

And the clause to which I thought it my duty to specially call the attention of Mr. TOMLIN was Clause XI. of Ordinance 4 of 1863, which is to this effect:-

XI.—It shall be lawful for the Superintendent of any gaol to punish by imprisonment in a Solitary Cell, for not exceeding three days on bread and water or rice and water, or, if the prisoner be under conviction of Felony, to punish by moderate Corporal Punishment not exceeding twelve strokes of a rattan, any prisoner whom he may find after due inves- tigation to have been guilty of any of the following offences or of any breach of prison regulation or discipline. And it is provided in a subsequent section that the Superintendent, in conjunction with the Visiting Justices, may also punish by personal correction not exceeding thirty-six strokes. In the presence of my learned friend the Attorney General I need hardly say I am justified in saying these two sections read rogether would render the infliction in the gaol of corporal punishment with the cat illegal. I have before me a return showing that 226 such illegal punishments were inflicted in the gaol in one year by the Acting Superintendent-that is, 226 prisoners were flogged with the cat for prison offences. The Attorney General, who is present, will be able to inform you that that was illegal. But there was some other irregularities to which at this moment it is no harm to refer. The Superintendent was given the power to punish for three days on bread and water. I discovered that Mr. TOMLIN had a practice of sentencing a prisoner to three days' bread and water— we will say to-day for a certain offence-and on the same day he would sentence him to three more

for another offence, to commence at the termination of the former sentence. That also, it occurred to me, was not lawful. I found, on asking the opinion of the Attorney General, that he agreed with me.. I found also that Mr. TOMLIN was in habit of ordering prisoners to be flogged who were in the prison. only for security. The Ordinance says he has only power to do so when the man is in for a felony. The Committee have printed in their Appendix a despatch which I felt it my duty to address in 1877 to Lord CARNARVON on the subject. In that a reference is made to some of these illegal floggings. say these floggings were inflicted with the regulation cat, whereas the local Ordinances say that all floggings must be with the rattan.-His Excellency quoted extensively from the despatches printed in the report as to individual cases of flogging. Referring to one of the cases, His Excellency went on:-- Her Majesty's Government are aware of the fact that a Chinaman was five times flogged in this gaol, illegally according to the opinion of the Attorney General, that he was flogged when he was suffering from phthisis, that he was flogged with the regulation cat on the back by the order of the Superintend- ent in spite of provisions of our law. I am sure every Visiting Justice present will forgive me for saying I regret that no one called attention to the case of this man until I myself, seeing the Coroner's inquest, and seeing the records of the Gaol, felt compelled to do so. However, the facts such as they are, have been in the possession of Her Majesty's Government since 1877. They were laid before the Medical Committee. That Medical Committee was composed of Dr. WELLS, a Deputy Inspector of Hospitals, and Dr. O'BRIEN, who I suppose I may say, without creating professional jealousy, is the most eminent physician in private practice in this Colony. Having expressed his obligations to these gentlemen, His Excellency went on to say they were requested to inquire into the physical effects of the punishment by the cat and also the prevalence or otherwise of pulmonary complaints among the prisoners in the gaol; also to make special inquiries into the cases of one or two prisoners who had been flogged in the month of March immediately before his arrival. He also requed them to inquire as to the case of one man, LEONG A-LOI, whether the flogging he had received had any way affected his health. He said :-I called upon them to do so because I was requested by Lord CARNARVON to do so, but from that time to this I have not known why the Secretary of State selected LEONG A-LOI, who was flogged in 1877, as a case to be brought before this Committee. His name was never mentioned in any despatch of mine, and I have no idea how it was his case was brought to my special notice, and I was instructed to have the Committee investigate it. However, the Committee express their opinion upon the subject. They state, which is very true, that the records in the gaol with respect to flogging were extremely meagre, they found it very difficult to find reliable statistics; indeed they say "in the absence of reliable statistics it is difficult to say whether phthisis is prevalent in this Colony or not." They found a great absence of statistics, they say, in the gaol itself. With respect to this particular man, whose case they were asked to investigate, they state that on examining him they found that he was suffering from phthisis. They go on to say that they cannot say whether the phthisis was excited by the flogging he received on the back or not. Dr. AYRES, to whom the report was sent, makes this

minute:-

MOK A-KWAI, released from gaol in a dying condition, and LEONG A-LOI still in gaol suffering from phthisis, were both, when they entered, healthy, powerful, muscular inen, presenting no indications whatever of hereditary disease. LEONG A-LoÍ in his present condition weighs 138 lbs. and is 34 inches round the bare chest, a weight and size far above the average of Chinese prisoners. After they arrived in the gaol, their diet, clothing, and lodging were far superior to anything they had before been accustomed to as regards sanitation. To what then can the disease they were attacked with be attributed? I cannot myself regard it otherwise than as caused by the punishment they had received, both of them were horribly marked, their backs having sloughed from the extensive bruising.

Now the Commissioners had before them as they say very slender evidence indeed upon the subject. They say:-

Apart from the questions put by us to the Colonial Surgeon and the examination of the four men who had been flog- ged on the back, with imperfect statistics, we have little to guide us in the solution of the main question-"Does flogging on the back produce phthisis.'

They then discuss the question, and in doing so they touch upon a point of great importance. They say:-

In regard to air space, we find that in the cells where many prisoners are locked up together for the night, instead of at least from 1,000 to 1,200 cubic feet per man, the allowance is actually only from 482 to 775, and even bearing in mind the fact of only barred gates separating the cells from the corridors, we do not consider the air space and ventilation what it should be.

The figures they give are figures taken from Dr. AYRES's evidence, and as he explains in a note, they include the average cubic space of all cells, include European and Chinese, but the Committee had to examine, according to the wishes of the Secretary of State, and give an opinion, as to phthisis among Chinese, and accordingly it is Chinese we have to do with. The Commissioners give the air space in the appendix and the result is that instead of having 400 and odd cubic feet, as it would be on the average of the minimum for all the prisoners, it turns out that in some cases the prisoners had only 237, in others 277, in others 285, in others 265, and I find that before my arrival here, in November, 1876, according to a note of Mr. TOMLIN'S, there was 184 cubic feet of space only in some of the associated cells, and 281 in others. That man LEONG A-LOI had only 200 cubic feet of air space. Dr. WELLS and Dr. O'BRIEN say it should be 1,000 or 1,200. That is also the opinion of Her Majesty's Government. I must confess

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

295

that when the breathing space has been limited to that extent I think it not at all unlikely the phthisis from which this man suffers may be quite as attributable to that fact as to the flogging on the back, perhaps even more so, and in connection with the subject I take the opportunity now of mentioning a despatch of really very great importance which has not been laid before this Council, but which I shall take the opportunity of printing. It was a despatch written by Lord CARNARVON to my predecessor, Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, when he took the prisoners from Stone Cutters' Island and put them into the present gaol. Sir RICHARD, when he did so, spoke of his predecessor as being quixotic in his views as to the treatment of criminals. Sir RICHARD thought Chinese criminals should be treated in some peculiar way; accordingly he disapproved of Sir HERCULES' scheme and transferred the prisoners to the Gaol at Victoria. He also reported changes he had effected with respect to the punishment of Chinese prisoners. One of these despatches was one enclosing Dr. MURRAY'S report on the health of the Colony. Dr. MURRAY tells us that for the first time at all events in what may be called the modern history of the Colony, flogging with the cat had been introduced. It appears that when the Colony was established in 1841 powers were given to the Magistrates both of hanging and flogging, but that was speedily altered, and from the time British law really prevailed here up to 1865 there was no flogging with the cat on the back. Dr. MURRAY tells us how he thought it a very desirable change to introduce, and Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL reported also to Lord CARNARVON the good effect it produced. I think he mentions that at the time Dr. MURRAY's report was sent home, after having twelve months' experience of the cat upon the back, out of 570 prisoners in the gaol that year 71 had died. I don't know whether it was in any way connected with the introduction of the new mode of punishment, but the Secretary of State, Lord CARNARVON, in acknowledging the receipt of the despatch about giving up Stone Cutters' Island, says "I am inclined to think that if you transfer these prisoners to the gaol in the city of Victoria the breathing space for each prisoner in the cells will be too small and I therefore ask for further reports upon that subject." He goes on to say, "I am bound also to inform you at once that I am disposed to think that the changes you have effected in the punishment of the Chinese are too severe, and upon that subject I must also ask for further information." Well I cannot ascertain that any information as to the air space in the cells was actually sent until I myself, after my first visit to the gaol, at once reported that in my opinion the cells were too small and the air space too small. But at the Colonial Office they had before them what we call the Blue Book, which is sent home by every Governor every year and which contains amongst other items of information asked for by the Gevernment in a printed form to be filled up, what is the cubic space in which prisoners are confined. Well, the answer was that it gave the average cubic space of all the cells in the prison including the corridors, and the result was that it amounted to something like seven or eight hundred cubic feet for each prisoner, but until I wrote my despatch of 1877 the Government were never aware that Lord CARNARVON's fears, expressed in his despatch to Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, were literally correct and that the experiment of forcing too many prisoners into the gaol ought never to have been tried, that in point of fact we were forcing into that gaol a number of prisoners that would never have been tolerated if Her Majesty's Government had known the facts. Fortunately these gentlemen's report disposes of that. At the time they made their inquiry four men only had been flogged. What do they find? That two of these men are suffering from phthisis. The Colonial Surgeon certified they were healthy, strong men when they came into the prison. Therefore I say, as to those who are op- posing flogging on the back, it is not fair to say that the phthisis from which these men are suffering has been caused by flogging on the back; it is probably fair to say it has been caused by that evil Lord CARNARVON foresaw, namely, the evil of overcrowding. We know what it must be in winter, with every door and window closed in these cells, and I myself found on visiting the gaol when the prisoners were in the cells that the atmosphere they were breathing was something horrible. There- fore this report is of value to the Council apart from the mere question of flogging on the back. Upon that question every man is entitled to form his own opinion. A document was laid before the Com- mittee, which is printed in the appendix, which is of no small interest because it shows this question had attracted the attention of the Chinese Government more than 1,000 years ago, when one of the Emperors, who seems to have paid very proper attention to the physiological effects of flogging on the back, after a long inquiry arrived at the conclusion there ought not to be flogging on the back because it would lead to injury to the viscera. Well, when Her Majesty's Government learned that the Ordi- nance prescribed flogging with a rattan, when they learned that the cat was illegal except when ordered by the Supreme Court, and when they had further learned that throughout the whole of the Empire of China, no matter how severe their punishments may be, men are never flogged on the back, when' they know the laws have been broken, you may be quite certain they will very carefully consider be- fore they will again allow the laws of the Colony to be broken or allow a practice to be indulged in which leads to the consequences this report establishes. Well, you will say, the rattan was too lenient an instrument; if you put by the cat make that severe. His Excellency went on to quote the report of the Committee as to the use of the rattan, referring particularly to a case in which sores caused by it did not heal properly for six months; the rattan was 47 inches long and had an average circumfer- ence of two inches. They say:-

66

We have examined the "regulation cat," a "naval cat," and the "rattan used in the gaol, and find there is little difference between the "cats" except the knots, which, we were informed, should be three in the gaol cat each tail, but had not been used, smaller ones being worked on.

296

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

Well, then they say:

We are of opinion, that the punishment of flogging on the back with the "regulation cat," without any knots, be con- tinued; care being taken by means of a thick canvas collar that the neck is not injured and that the loins be protected in a similar way so that by these means the blows should fall on the muscles covering the shoulder blades and the intermedia spinal space. That flogging on the back be not inflicted on any person under eighteen years of age. That flogging on the breech with six tails of the cat be the punishment of offenders from the age of thirteen to eighteen, and that the birch be used for any offenders of more tender years.

I

">

Now, I have had to consider whether I would introduce the important changes recommended by the Committee, whether I would direct the canvas protection that they say should be used to be employed in future, and whether the cat should be used without knots as they say. If I should order this, one effect would be that it would reflect very seriously on every sentence of flogging that had been carried out before. If all this protection is necessary, and if the knots are to be taken off the cat, what about all the floggings that took place before?

The Colonial Treasurer. The canvas covering was used before, your Excellency, by myself.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-No doubt my Honourable friend may have used it, but it was not used by others. Mr. TONNOCHY has introduced many reforms and improvements into the prison, but without doubt there have been men flogged without these coverings and with the knots to which the Committee re- ferred. Therefore, if I were to issue an order it would be so far a reflection on what had been done before. But that is not the reason why I decline to issue that order. I certainly could not continue in use the rattan they speak of. On seeing their report Dr. AYRES at once drew my attention to it, pointing out that a cane of shorter dimensions and less severity should be used. As the body of laws in this Colony point to flogging with the rattan, and as we know what the laws of China point to, we had better retain that punishment and not inflict a punishment which is inconsistent with our Ordinances and with the opinions of their own medical men, because there is not a single Chinese doctor who is not of opinion it is dangerous to flog on the back. Every one knows the physical constitution of the Chinese differs from our own, just as the physical constitution of the Indian does, and every one is aware that in India no one is flogged on the back. I have laid these papers before you and entered into these de- tails because it is important to remove very serious misapprehensions which have prevailed in the first instance as to my action with regard to the laws of the Colony. The Attorney General is present and he will bear me out, I think, when I say I would not be acting properly if I permitted any Superintendent of the prison to have any prisoner flogged with the cat for a prison offence, or if I allowed any person to be flogged with the cat under sentence from a Magistrate. At once we dispose of

dispose of by far the largest number of floggins. His Excellency went on to refer to the small number of cases from the Supreme Court and said that of five men sentenced by the Chief Justice three were not flogged, but the Attorney General advised His Excellency that he had not power to alter the sentence so as to inflict the flogging with a rattan instead of the cat as ordered.

The Chief Justice explained that the questions which arose was as to whether the flogging was to be public or private. The Governor had the power to regulate the instrument. He thought he was bound by precedent to order the flogging to be public, but while he was at home Mr. SNOWDEN sentenced men to be flogged in private, and he gave way, Mr. SNOWDEN having, as it were, overruled him.

His Excellency referred further to the grounds of his action with regard to the rattan, and with reference to a remark which had been made on Dr. AYRES, to the effect that it was only when His Excellency came that he made the discovery about the evils of flogging on the back, said it was due to that gentleman to state that the imputation was unfounded. Dr. AYRES having been asked by the Colonial Office to explain why he had not pointed out the evils of flogging on the back before, replied that he had called attention to it on two previous occasions. The limited question as to the Supreme Court sentences was now under the consideration of the Secretary of State, but his own recommend- ation certainly was that the rattan should be used as in India. The Council was now aware of all that had passed on the subject, and he left the question in their hands.

DEPORTATION.

His Excellency said that before sitting down he would call their attention to another question in connection with the administration of justice, upon which a wonderful misapprehension had prevailed. They were aware Mr. Lowcock gave notice of motion on the 21st December, 1878, for the corres- pondence between the Governor, the Magistrates, and the Police department about deportation. That motion he agreed to and he now laid upon the table all the correspondence. In doing so he would mention that on the 24th of last month Mr. LowCOCK wrote to the Colonial Secretary saying

Mr. Lowcock to Colonial Secretary.

Hongkong, 24th April, 1879. SIR,-Being about to leave the Colony for some months, I have respectfully to request you to inform me whether the correspondence I had the honour to move for at the Legislative Council on 21st December last, and which His Excellency the Governor then expressed his willingness to have placed on the table, has been prepared yet, as I am most anxious to have an opportunity of seeing it before my departure. For full particulars of the correspondence asked for, I would beg reference to the Government Gazette of 22nd January, 1879.—I am, &c.

Upon that there is a minute of mine which I will read. But in the meantime this official answer was sent to Mr. LowCock:-

Colonial Secretary to Mr. Lowcock.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th April, 1879. SIR,-In reply to your letter of 24th instant, requesting me to inform you whether the correspondence which you moved for in Legislative Council on 21st December last has been prepared yet, I have the honour to state that this correspondence is not yet quite ready.

I am authorised, however, by his Excellency to inform you that he hopes to be able to lay the papers relating to Deportation before the next meeting of the Legislative Council, and I am to add that if you will do him the favour of calling at Government House he will be very happy to put them into your hands and let you see the various minutes and orders issued in deportation cases from September, 1876, to the present date.-I have, &c.,

The Honourable HENRY LOWCOCK.

(Signed,)

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Furthermore, there was a little semi-official note which Mr. MARSH addressed to Mr. Lowcock in these terms:-

Mr. Marsh to Mr. Lowcock.

Hongkong, 28th April, 1879.

MY DEAR SIR,-I send you an official reply to your letter on the subject of deportation. I understand from the Governor that he had a satisfactory interview with you yesterday on this subject, and that in fact the latter part of my letter has been already acted on.

All the papers are, however, ready for your perusal again if you wish to see them.-I am, &c.,

The Honourable HENRY LOWCOCK.

Upon Mr. Lowcock's first letter was this minute of mine :

Minute by His Excellency The Governor.

(Signed,)

W. H. MARSH.

In accordance with the request Mr. Lowcock makes in this letter, I gave him an opportunity of seeing the whole of the papers and correspondence relating to every case of deportation from April, 1877, to the present date. Mr. LowCock went carefully through those documents, as well as some others of an earlier date. Having done so he said he was perfectly satisfied, and that if he had been in my place he would have acted in every case precisely as I had done. He thanked me for having allowed him to read minutes of the Executive Council and legal opinions, in addition to the correspondence for which he had moved, and he said it was now clear to his mind that I had acted according to law and to the instructions of Her Majesty's Government in dealing with deportation cases.

27th April, 1879.

(Signed,) J. POPE HENNESSY.

Well, it afforded me no small satisfaction to know that an honourable gentleman who had been for a long time labouring under grave misapprehensions-but, as I told him, because he did not come to me and ask to see these papers, I then would have put before him all the papers that were before the Police Committee and documents going back to the earliest history of the Colony, but it was only at the last moment that he did that frankly, which I hope every member of the Council will do, come to me ast the head of the Executive, not go behind my back, but come to me frankly and say "I should like to see the documents." There are no documents kept back from the members of this Council. No doubt I have shown Mr. Lowcock minutes of the Executive Council which ought not to be printed, but I have no objection to let any gentleman see these documents, and it is satisfactory to know a gentleman who laboured under a wrong impression simply because he did not do me the honour of calling to see me at an earlier date, was satisfied with my action in that matter.-His Excellency then entered into a long explanation of his action with regard to deportation, stating that every man had been deported whose case was considered by the Executive Council to require deportation and whose sentence was legal according to the opinion of the Attorney General. The only case as to which Mr. LowcсOCK disagreed with him was one where he had deported a man whose offence the late Mr. MAY, one of the members of the Executive Council, considered too trivial to call for deportation; Mr. Lowcock agreed with Mr. MAY. His Excellency concluded by inviting observations from honourable members.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I would just remark that until after a perusal of the documents it would be premature to express any opinion in contradiction to what your Excellency has expressed so fully and so satisfactorily.

SPIRIT FARM.

The Spirit Farm Ordinance was read a second time.

EXPENDITURE.

A number of vote passed by the Finance Committee were approved.

REVENUE AND THE TRADE OF THE COLONY.

His Excellency. Now, gentlemen, it may be proper I should close the sitting of to-day by stating the result of our audit of the accounts for 1878. I addressed you on this subject in October and November last. I am now happy to ell you that the accounts of the year 1878, as audited by Mr. MARSH, show that our total revenue amounted to $947,63 2. The total expenditure amounted

you the.

to $910,523.32, leaving a surplus upon the year's transactions of $37,114.40. With respect to the sums expended, I think any one who looks around the Colony will bear me out when I say that we have never had the Surveyor General doing more useful work, expending money more usefully, than he has during those two years. We see it in every part of the Colony.

We see it in every part of the Colony. Of the $157,000 which you voted my Honourable friend the Surveyor General has expended $142,000. I may tell expenditure of 1878 exceeded the expenditure of 1877 by $37,315. The actual excess of revenue over expenditure was just about the same figure, $37,114, but the $37,114 was a clear gain upon the transactions of the year. When I mention that during the year we laid out $37,000 more than before, that was so much out of the surplus. That $37,000 occurred owing to our large revenue. I must not now recapitulate what I said in September, but I find that all items which really indicate a prosperous state of things in the Colony-upon these items there is an increase in the revenue. A question arises about the Post Office. I find the increase in postage in 1878 as compared with 1872 amounted to $20,649, that is, in the year 1877 our revenue was $62,675; in the year. 1878 it was $82,325. Actually the revenue from postage is not a subject which we may consider as a matter of very great importance, because we endeavour to expend our postal re- venue as far as we can in our postal arrangements, .but an increase indicates an increase in the commercial transactions conducted by correspondence. The light dues in 1877 amounted to $14,984, whereas the light dues collected last year amounted to $17,494. I had estimated only for $15,000, the surplus being $2,500. Well, now, what does that mean? The light dues are made up of a cent a ton upon all shipping but the native junks. You will easily see what the increase must have been in the tonnage. It means 250,900 tons increase in the trade of the Colony. These, of course, are facts which must be gratifying to us, because depression of trade we know exists elsewhere. It exists very largely in our own country, and it is satisfactory to know that this depôt of trade, the most important perhaps in the Queen's Colonial Empire, as far as its com- mercial results are shown by the shipping and in the revenue, is really in a healthy state and flourishing condition. And I think Her Majesty's Government may perhaps view with satisfaction the fact that out here, in this great depôt of commerce, we may be able to assist in alleviating the depression of trade at home by opening up the great Empire with which we do trade to manufactured goods, and I hope to do that as long as I have the Government by assisting in every way the commercial transactions of the Colony, promoting those transactions, and not only with foreign shipping, to which I have referred, but also the native junk trade of the Colony. The fact is that in spreading in China the manufactures of England and obtaining for the English consumer Chinese goods at a cheap rate we must not omit from our calculations the native junk trade of Hong- kong. Whatever harasses that junk trade, whatever tends in any shape or form to prevent its develop- ment we should carefully scrutinise. I pointed out to you we levied certain taxes, bringing in about $20,000 a year, on native junks; I have pointed out for your consideration how far we might relieve the junk trade of that burden. But there is something else that presses on the junk trade of this Colony. I have been now two years at the head of the Government here. I have had the honour of often presiding in this room at meetings of the Legislative Council, but I have never been asked a question with respect to that which intimately concerns the prosperity of the Colony. How does it come to pass that two years have elapsed and nothing has been said with respect to restrictions now placed on the native trade of Hongkong? I don't think it is the business of the head of the Government in dealing with matters of this kind to force his opinions upon a commercial community, but it is his duty to ascertain from those who are concerned how they regard the harassing of their trade, and what remedy they can suggest. I have consulted with those who are directly concerned in the native trade of this Colony, I have had opportunities now for a long time, more than eighteen months, of considering the burdens they suffer under and the suggestions they have made to me, and certain plans I have thought of with respect to this grievance, and having done so I will only now say to the Council that though I came to this Colony, as far as the subject to which I now refer is concerned, I'may say, with my hands tied by the acts of my predecessor, and I must say also frankly, as far as I can judge from the records in the Colonial Secretary's Office, by the act of three advisers whom he took into his confidence. Nevertheless, I am prepared upon this important subject, as upon others where I see a case fairly established, and where I think it is within my power to carry out a reform, to do so. It will be perhaps a couple of months before I may have the satisfaction of meeting you again, for I am now about to proceed on a few weeks leave of absence which Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has been good enough to give me, yet I can assure you that the question to which I am now referring, namely, developing the commercial resources of this Colony with reference to native trade, and doing that with the object of increasing the prosperity of the Colony, as well as alleviating the distress at home- these are questions which, whether I am in Government House or taking a few weeks vacation leave, will not escape my attention.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-Your Excellency's remarks are doubtless applicable to the system of Chinese collection of dues on native junks, and I have no doubt your Excellency's. remarks, in connection with the way in which your hands were tied, had reference to the rules which were made public through the Chamber of Commerce. You have mentioned that three advisers` acquiesced according to the records of the Colonial Secretary's office I am not aware whether I am one of those to whom you have alluded. I belie however, that I am, and I feel myself bound to say that I took

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH JUNE, 1879.

299

no part in acquiescing in those rules as a final act of right towards this Colony. I never approved of them, I do not approve of them, and I see other means by which redress can be obtained. I would further remark, with reference to your statement about no attention having been given to the matter by the merchants, that it is a subject they have never ceased to feel an interest in, and through the Chamber of Commerce the expression of their feelings has frequently been made. Your Excellency has also received from the Chamber communications on the subject. I think though we have had little but reference to the past, from your Excellency's remarks we may look hopefully to the future.

THE GOVERNOR'S VACATION.

HIS EXCELLENCY informed the Council that he proposed to leave on Saturday. On his leaving the Colony his Honourable friend, Mr. MARSH, would ask them to meet for the purpose of Mr. MARSH'S being sworn in by the Chief Justice as Administrator. He would take the opportunity of mentioning that he had given great consideration to the question as to who by his experience, by his public services, and by his official rank, was fitted to take the temporary post of Acting Colonial Secretary, and he had, after mature consideration, selected for that high office Dr. FREDERICK STEWART.

The Council then rose.

VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF HONGKONG.

No. 1 of 1879.

SATURDAY, 18th JANUARY, 1879.

PRESENT:

His Excellency Governor J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

The Honourable the Chief Justice (Sir JOHN SMALE).

The Honourable the Acting Colonial Secretary (CHarles May). The Honourable the Acting Colonial Treasurer (M. S. TONNOCHY).

The Honourable HENRY LOWCOCK.

The Honourable WILLIAM Keswick.

The Honourable JOHN MACNEIL PRICE.

ABSENT:

The Honourable the Attorney General (G. PHILLIPPO), from indisposition.

The Minutes of the two previous Meetings of Council are read and confirmed.

His Excellency the Governor announces that he had appointed Mr. M. S. TONNOCHY to be Acting Colonial Treasurer vice the Honourable. J. M. PRICE, who had resigned the office from pressure of work as Surveyor General.

The Honourable M. S. TONNOCHY, who had previously been sworn in as Acting Colonial Treasurer, takes his seat at the Table.

On the motion of His Excellency the Governor, the Bill to amend the Opium Ordinance, 1857, is read a second time.

With the permission of His Excellency, His Honour the Chief Justice, in the absence of the Attorney General, details certain alterations, which had been made by the Attorney General, after consultation with himself and Mr. RUSSELL, in the Bill as framed when read a first time.

The Bill is read a second time, and, on the motion of His Excellency the Governor, the standing orders are suspended, and the Council goes into Committee upon the clauses of the Bill.

On the motion of the Honourable H. Lowcock, the term "Excise Officer" is substituted for Revenue Officer" throughout the Bill.

The Bill is then committed and passed, with one or two verbal alterations, bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council "thereof, to amend Ordinance No. 2 of 1858, entitled 'An Ordinance for Licensing and Regulating the Sale of Prepared Opium,'"-being No. 1 of 1879.

no part in acquiescing in those rules as a final act of right towards this Colony. I never approved of them, I do not approve of them, and I see other means by which redress can be obtained. I would further remark, with reference to your statement about no attention having been given to the matter by the merchants, that it is a subject they have never ceased to feel an interest in, and through the Chamber of Commerce the expression of their feelings has frequently been made. Your Excellency has also received from the Chamber communications on the subject. I think though we have had little but reference to the past, from your Excellency's remarks we may look hopefully to the future.

THE GOVERNOR'S VACATION.

HIS EXCELLENCY informed the Council that he proposed to leave on Saturday. On his leaving the Colony his Honourable friend, Mr. MARSH, would ask them to meet for the purpose of Mr. MARSH'S being sworn in by the Chief Justice as Administrator. He would take the opportunity of mentioning that he had given great consideration to the question as to who by his experience, by his public services, and by his official rank, was fitted to take the temporary post of Acting Colonial Secretary, and he had, after mature consideration, selected for that high office Dr. FREDERICK STEWART.

The Council then rose.

LXIV. The delivery of any spirituous liquors or intoxicat- ing liquors shall be taken as good and sufficient evidence of money or other consideration being given for the same, failing proof to the contrary.

LXV. For the purposes of this Ordinance any spirituous

liquors, intoxicating liquors, still or part thereof, or other matter or thing shall be deemed to be in possession of any person under whose custody or control by himself or an- other such spirituous liquors or other matters are found to be.

LXVII. Whenever any persons shall be charged with breach of this Ordinance, the Magistrate may require one or more of them to give evidence as a witness or witnesses for the prosecution. Any such person who refuses to be sworn, or to answer any lawful question, shall be dealt with in the same manner as witnesses refusing to be, sworn or refusing to answer may by law be dealt with.

LXVIII.

Such Magistrate shall, on being there- unto required, forthwith give him a certificate under his hand, stating that he has made a true and full discovery of all things as to which he was examined; and such certifi- cate shall be a bar to all such proceedings against him as

above-mentioned.

LXIX.

LXX. The Governor may suspend or stop any prosecu-

tion or proceeding instituted or proposed to be instituted

under this Ordinance; may direct the refund of the whole

or part of any fine or penalty, or the restoration of any forfeiture, wholly or in part; and may order that any or

all fines or forfeitures be paid into the Treasury instead of to the Spirit Farmer.

Actions. Procedure.

LXXI. All actions and prosecutions against any person which may be lawfully brought for anything done under this Ordinance, shall be commenced within six months after the thing complained of shall have been done, and

LXXIII. In every action so brought, it shall be expressly alleged that the defendant acted maliciously and without reasonable or probable cause, and if at the trial the plain- tiff shall fail to prove such allegation, judgment shall be given for the defendant.

LXXIV. The defendant in his plea or defence to the action shall set out specially that he was acting under the pro- visions of this Ordinance, naming the section or sections under which he was acting, and shall state generally the nature of the defence he proposes to make at the trial, but the defendant shall not, at the trial, except as next herein- after provided, be prevented from giving evidence of matters not stated in his ples.

LXXV. If it shali appear to the Court on any such trial that any matter proposed to be put in evidence for the de- fendant, and not set out or clearly referred to in the des fendant's plea is of such a nature as to embarrass the plain- tiff, by reason of the plaintiff not having had notice or knowledge, or the means of knowing that the defendant in- tended to adduce such evidence, the Court shall postpone the trial and allow the defendant to amend his plea on such terms as may seem reasonable, and with or without costs.

LXXVI. Judgment shall not be given for the plaintiff' in any action for anything done or intended to be done under this Ordinance, if it shall be made to appear to the Court that the defendant acted by the orders of any Magis- trate or Justice of the Peace empowered by law to act in that behalf, or if the defendant acted in good faith believing he had power to act unless it be shown that the defendant acted maliciously and without reasonable or probable cause.

LXXVII. In any case where the amount of damages which the Court may think proper in the cause shall not exceed in amount any sum tendered or offered in writing to be paid, or any sum paid into Court by the defendant, at any time before trial, the plaintiff shall not have judgment for any sum, and shall pay to the defendant his costs of the action: Provided always, that in the event of any sufficient tender, offer in writing, or payment into Court after action commenced, the costs up till the time of such tender, offer, or payment, shall be in the discretion of the Court, and the costs after such time shall be payable by the plaintiff to the defendant.

Statement of Objects and Reasons,

The title and preamble of this Ordinance sufficiently indicate its object, but it may be pointed out that the dealing in wines and fermented liquors in quantities of two gallons and upwards is unaffected."

The Ordinance is chiefly founded on the Straits Settle- ments Excise Ordinance, but incorporates and consolidates the enactments in force in Hongkong relating to distilleries and to the sale of spirituous and formented liquors within the Colony.

PRESENT,

The QUEEN's Most Excellent Majesty in Council.

HEREAS by the Extradition Acts of 1870 and 1873, it was amongst other things enacted, that where an arrangement has been made with any foreign State with respect to the surrender to such State of any fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, direct that the said Acts shall apply in the case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty may, by the same or any subsequent Order, limit the operation of the Order, and restrict the same to fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the Order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient :

And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the thirty-first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, between Her Majesty and the Swiss Confederation, for the Mutual Extra- dition of Fugitive Criminals, which Treaty is in the terms following :—

HER Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Swiss Confederation, having judged it expedient, with a view to the better administration of justice and to the prevention of crime within their respective territories and jurisdictions, that persons charged with, or convicted of, the crimes hereinafter enumerated, and being fugitives from justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally delivered up, have named as their Plenipoten- tiaries to conclude a Treaty for this purpose, that

is to say:

NACHDEM Ihre Majestät die Königin des Vereinigten Königreichs von Grossbritannien und Irland, und die Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft, behufs besserer Verwaltung der Rechtspflege und zur Verhütung von Verbrechen innerhalb der beiden Gebiete und Gerichtsbarkeiten es für zwekmässig befunden haben, dass Personen, welche der in diesem Vertrage aufgeführten straf- baren Handlungen beschuldigt oder wegen solcher verurtheilt und vor der Justiz flüchtig geworden sind, unter bestimmten Umständen gegenseitig ausgeliefert werden sollen; so haben sie behufs Abschliessung eines desfallsigen Vertrages zu Ihren Bevollmächtigten ernannt und zwar :

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1879.

ARTICLE VI.

If the individual claimed by one of the two Contracting Parties in pursuance of the present Treaty should be also claimed by one or several other Powers, on account of other crimes com- mitted upon their respective territories, his sur- render shall be granted to that State whose demand is earliest in date; unless any other arrangement should be made between the Governments which have claimed him, either on account of the gravity of the crimes committed, or for any other reason.

ARTICLE VII.

A fugitive criminal shall not be surrendered if the offence in respect of which his surrender is demanded is one of a political character, or is connected with a crime of that nature, or if he prove that the requisition for his surrender has, in fact, been made with a view to try and punish him for an offence of a political character.

ARTICLE VIII.

A person surrendered can in no case be kept in prison, or be brought to trial in the State to which the surrender has been made, for any other crime, or on account of any other matters than those for which the extradition shall have taken place.

This stipulation does not apply to crimes com- mitted after the extradition.

ARTICLE IX.

The requisition for extradition must always be made by the way of diplomacy, and to wit, in Switzerland by the British Minister to the Pre- sident of the Confederation, and in the United Kingdom to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the Consul-General of Switzerland, who, for the purposes of this Treaty, is hereby recognised by Her Majesty as a Diplomatic Representative of Switzerland.

The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by the competent authority of the State requiring the extradition, and by such evi- dence as, according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there.

If the requisition relates to a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by the sentence of condemnation passed against the convicted person by the competent Court of the State that makes the requisition for extradition.

A requisition for extradition cannot be founded on sentences passed in contumaciam.

ARTIKEL VI.

Wird ein Individuum von einer der beiden Vertragsparteien auf Grund des gegenwärtigen Verträges zur Auslieferung reklamirt, zugleich aber auch dessen Auslieferung von einer oder mehrern andern Mächten wegen andern auf deren Gebieten begangenen Verbrechen verlangt, so ist dasjenige Gesuch im Vorgange zu bewilligen, welches das älteste im datum ist, es sei denn, das zwischen den Regierungen, die das betreffende Individuum reklamirt haben, entweder wegen der Wichtigkeit der begangenen Verbrechen oder aus andern Gründen ein anderes Abkommen getroffen würde.

ARTIKEL VII.

Ein flüchtiger Verbrecher soll nicht ausgeliefert werden, wenn die strafbare Handlung, wegen deren seine Auslieferung verlangt wird, einen politischen Charakter an sich trägt, oder mit einem derartigen Verbrechen zusammenhängt, oder wenn er nachweisen kann, dass der Antrag auf seine Auslieferung in Wirklichkeit mit der Absicht gestellt worden ist, ihn wegen eines Ver- brechens oder Vergehens politischer Natur zu verfolgen oder zu bestrafen.

ARTIKEL VIII.

Die ausgelieferte Person darf in dem Staate- an welchen die Auslieferung erfolgt ist, keinen, falls wegen einer andern strafbaren Handlung oder auf Grund anderer Thatsachen, als der- jenigen, wegen deren die Auslieferung erfolgt ist, in Haft behalten oder zur Untersuchung gezogen werden.

Auf strafbare oder Handlungen, welche nach erfolgter Auslieferung verübt sind, findet diese Bestimmung keine Anwendung.

ARTIKEL IX.

Das Auslieferungsbegehren muss immer auf diplomatischem Wege gestellt werden und zw ar in der Schweiz durch den Englischen Gesandten bei dem Bundespräsidenten und in Grossbritannien durch den Schweizerischen General-Konsul in London lcher von Ihrer Majestät für die Zweke

Vertrages als diplomatischer Re- präsent. der Schweiz anerkannt wird, bei dem Staatssekretär für die auswärtigen Angelegen- heiten.

Mit dem Gesuche auf Auslieferung eines Beschuldigten müssen ein Verhaftsbefehl welcher von der zuständigen Behörde des die Auslieferung begehrenden Staates erlassen ist, und solche Beweise beigebracht werden, welche nach den Gesezen des Orte, wo der Beschuldigte aufge- funden wird, dessen Verhaftung rechtfertigen würden, wenn die strafbare Handlung dort be- gangen wäre.

Betrifft das Auslieferungsbegehren eine bereits verurtheilte Person, so muss das Strafurtheil beigebracht werden, welches von dem zuständigen Gericht des die Auslieferung begehrenden Staates gegen den Verurtheilten erlassen worden ist.

Auf Strafurtheile, welche in contumaciam erlassen worden sind, kann das Auslieferungs- gesuch nicht gegründet werden.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1879.

ARTICLE X.

A fugitive criminal may, however, be appre- hended under a warrant issued by any police magistrate, justice of the peace, or other com- petent authority, in either country, on such infor- mation or complaint, together with such evidence or after such judicial proceedings as would in the opinion of the officer issuing the warrant justify its issue, if the crime had been committed in that part of the dominions of the two Contracting Parties in which he exercises jurisdiction. Pro- vided, however, that in the United Kingdom the accused shall in such case be sent as speedily as possible before a police magistrate in London. Such requisition may be made by means of the post or by telegraph.

The accused shall, however, be discharged if, within such reasonable time as, with reference to the circumstances of the case, the police magistrate may fix, the requisition shall not have been made according to the stipulations contained in Arti- cle IX.

ARTICLE XI.

The extradition shall not take place before the expiration of fifteen days from the apprehension, and then only if the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the said State, or to prove that the prisoner is the identical person convicted by the Courts of the State which makes the requisition.

ARTICLE XII.

In the examinations which they have to make in accordance with the foregoing stipulations, the authorities of the State applied to shall admit as entirely valid evidence the sworn depositions or statement of witnesses taken in the other State, or copies thereof, and likewise the warrants and sentences issued therein, provided such documents are signed or certified by a Judge, Magistrate, or Officer of such State, and are authenticated by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the official seal of a British Secretary of State, or of the Chancellor of the Swiss Confederation.

ARTICLE XIII.

If sufficient evidence for the extradition be not produced within two months from the date of the apprehension of the fugitive, he shall be set at liberty.

ARTIKEL X.

337

Indessen kann ein flüchtiger Verbrecher in beiden Ländern auch verhaftet werden auf Grund eines Verhaftsbefehles, der von einem Polizeima- gistrat, Friedensrichter, oder von einer andern kompetenten Behörde auf eine solche Strafanzeige oder Klage und zugleich auf einen solchen Beweis oder nach einem solchen gerichtlichen Verfahren erlassen wird, dass nach der Ansicht des Beamten, welcher den Verhaftsbefehl erlässt, dessen Erlass gerechtfertigt wäre, wenn das Verbrechen in demjenigen Theile der Gebiete der Vertragspar- teien begangen worden wire, in welchem der Beamte Gerichtsbarkeit ausübt. Es wird indessen bedungen, dass in dem Vereinigten Königreiche in cinem solchen Falle der Beklagte so schnell wie möglich vor einen Polizeimagistrat in London gesendet werden soll. Solche Requisitionen mögen vermittels der Post oder durch den Telegraphen gemacht werden.

Der Angeklagte soll indess des Verhaftes entlassen werden, wenn inner einer billigen Frist, die von dem Polizeimagistrat anzusezen ist und bei deren Fixirung die Verumständungen des einzelnen Falles zu berüksichtigen sind, das Begehren nicht in Gemässheit der in Artikel IX. enthaltenen Bestimmungen gestellt worden ist.

ARTIKEL XI.

Die Auslieferung erfolgt nicht vor Ablauf von fünfzehn Tagen seit der Ergreifung und nur dann, wenn die Beweise für genügend befunden worden sind, um nach den Gesezen des ersuchten Staates entweder die Verweisung des Ergriffenen zur Hauptuntersuchung zu rechtfertigen, falls die strafbare Handlung im Gebiet dieses Staates begangen wäre, oder darzuthun, dass der Er- griffene mit der von den Gerichten des ersuchenden Staates verurtheilten Person identisch ist.

ARTIKEL XII.

Die Behörden des ersuchten Staates haben bei der Prüfung, welche ihnen nach den vorstehenden Bestimmungen obliegt, den beschworenen Deposi- tionen und Zeugenaussagen, welche in dem andern Staate zu Protokoll genommen sind, desgleichen den Abschriften hievon und ebenso den im andern Staate erlassenen Haftbefehlen und Urtheilen volle • Beweiskraft beizulegen, vorausgesezt, dass diese Schriftstüke durch einen Richter, eine obrigkeit- liche Person oder einen andern Beamten dieses Staates unterzeichnet oder bescheinigt und durch einen beeidigten Zeugen oder durch Beidrükung des Amtssiegels eines Englischen Staatsministers oder des Schweizerischen Bundeskanzlers be- glaubigt sind.

ARTIKEL XIII.

Wenn die zur Auslieferung genügenden Beweise nicht binnen zwei Monaten von dem Tage der Ergreifung des Flüchtigen an beigebracht werden, so ist der Ergriffene auf freien Fuss zu sezen.

338

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH JUNE, 1879.

ARTICLE XIV.

All articles seized, which were in the possession of the person to be surrendered at the time of his apprehension, shall, if the competent authority of State applied to for the extradition has ordered the delivery thereof, be given up when the extradition takes place, and the said delivery shall extend not merely to the stolen articles, but to everything that may serve as a proof of the crime.

ARTICLE XV.

The Contracting Parties renounce any claim for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by them in the arrest and maintenance of the person to be surrendered, and his conveyance to the frontiers of the State from which he is required; they reciprocally agree to bear such expenses

themselves.

ARTICLE XVI.

The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign Possessions of Her Britannic Majesty.

The requisition for the arrest and surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign Possessions shall be made through the Swiss Consul-General in London to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, who shall proceed in conformity with the provisions of the

present Treaty and the laws of the land.

Her Britannic Majesty shall, however, be at liberty to make special arrangements in the British Colonies and foreign Possessions for the surrender of such individuals as shall have committed in Switzerland any of the crimes hereinafore men- tioned, who may take refuge within such Colonies and foreign l'ossessions, on the basis as nearly as may be, of the provisions of the present Treaty.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal from any Colony or foreign Possession of Her Britannic Majesty shall be governed by the rules laid down in the preceding Articles of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XVII.

The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Con- tracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties, but shall remain in force for six months after notice has been given for its termination.

ARTIKEL XIV.

}

Alle in Beschlag genommenen Gegenstände, welche sich zur Zeit der Verhaftung der auszu- liefernden Person in deren Besiz waren, sollen, wenn die zuständige Behörde des um die Ausliefer- ung ersuchten Staates die Ausantwortung der- selben angeordnet hat, bei Vollziehung der Auslieferung mit übergeben werden, und diese Ueberlieferung soll sich nicht blos auf die entfremd- eten Gegenstände, sondern auch auf Alles erstrek- en, was zum Beweis, der strafbaren Handlung

dienen kann.

ARTIKEL XV.

Die vertragenden Theile verzichten darauf, die Erstattung derjenigen Kosten, welche ihnen aus der Festnahme und den Unterhalt des Auszu- liefernden und seinem Transport bis zur Grenze des requirirten Staates erwachsen, in Anspruch zu nehmen, willigen vielmehr gegenseitig darein diese Kosten selbst zu tragen.

ARTIKEL XVI.

Die Bestimmungen des gegenwärtigen Vertrages sollen auf die Kolonien und auswärtigen Besi- zungen Ihrer Grossbritannischen Majestät An- wendung finden.

Der Antrag auf Verhaftung und Auslieferung cines flüchtigen Verbrechers, welcher in einer dieser Kolonien oder auswärtigen Besizungen Zuflucht gefunden hat, soll durch den Schweizer- ischen General-Konsul in London bei dem Staats- sekretär der auswärtigen Angelegenheiten gestellt werden, welcher nach Vorschrift dieses Vertrages und der bestehenden Geseze zu verfahren hat.

Ihrer Grossbritannischen Majestät soll es jedoch freistehen, in den Britischen Kolonien und aus- wärtigen Besizungen über die Auslieferung solcher Individuen die in der Schweiz ein im Vertrag genanntes Verbrechen begangen haben, aber innerhalb dieser Kolonien und auswärtigen Besiz- ungen Zuflucht gefunden haben, auf möglichst gleicher Grundlage mit den Bestimmungen des gegenwärtigen Vertrages besondere Anordnungen zu treffen.

And whereas a Protocol amending Article XVI of the aforesaid Treaty was signed by the Plenipotentiaries of Her Majesty and of the Swiss Confederation on the twenty-eighth day of Novem- ber, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, which Protocol is in the following terms:-

The Undersigned Plenipotentiaries of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Federal Council of the Swiss Confederation, having met in Conference, have taken into their consideration the following subject:-

They have directed their attention to the fact that the second paragraph of the XVIth Article of the Treaty, which stipulates that the requisition for the arrest of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of the Colonies or foreign posses- sions of Her Britannic Majesty shall be made through the Swiss Consul-General in London to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, was not in accordance with the law of England, and they have consequently resolved to declare that the second paragraph of that Article beginning:

"The requisition for the arrest," and concluding with, "and the laws of the land," shall be null and void, and in lieu thereof the following words shall be substituted:

"The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any of such Colonies or foreign possessions shall be made to the Governor or to the Supreme Authority of such Colony or Possession through the Swiss Consul, or, in case there should be no Swiss Con- sul, through the Consular Agent of another State charged for the occasion with the Swiss interesst in the Colony or Possession in question.

"The Governor or Supreme Authority above- mentioned shall decide with regard to such requi- sitions as nearly as possible in accordance with the provisions of the present Treaty. He will, however, be at liberty either to consent to the ex- tradition or report the case to his Government."

The other provisions of Article XVI remain in force as they have been agreed upon in the Treaty.

This Protocol shall be regarded and acted upon as forming part of the Treaty in question.

Die unterzeichneten Bevollmächtigten Ihrer Majestät der Königin des Vereinigten Königreichs von Grossbritannien und Irland, und des Bundes- rathes der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft, haben in einer Conferenz folgenden Gegenstand in Erwägung gezogen :-

Sie haben ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf die That- sache gerichtet, dass der zweite Absaz von Artikel XVI des Vertrages, welcher bestimmt, dass das Gesuch um Verhaftung eines flüchtigen Ver- brechers, welcher sich nach einer der Colonien oder auswärtigen Besizungen Ihrer Grossbritan- nischen Majestät gewendet hat, durch den Schweiz- erischen General-Konsul in London an den Staatssekretär für die auswärtigen Angelegenheiten gerichtet werden soll, mit den Gesezen Englands nicht in Einklang steht. Sie sind daher über- eingekommen zu erklären, dass der zweite Absaz besagten Artikels, also beginnend :

"Der Antrag auf Verhaftung," und schliessend, "der bestehenden Geseze zu verfahren hat," null und nichtig sein, und an Stelle desselben die nachfolgenden Worte eingeschaltet werden sollen':

"Der Antrag auf Auslieferung eines flüchtigen Verbrechers, welcher in einer dieser Colonien oder auswärtigen Besizungen Zuflucht gefunden hat, soll bei dem Gouverneur oder bei der höchsten Behörde der betreffenden Colonie oder Besizung durch den in derselben residirenden Schweizer- ischen Consul, oder in Ermangelung eines solchen, durch den Consularagenten eines andern Staates, welchem fur diesen speciellen Fall die Wahrnehm- ung der Schweizerischen Interessen in der frag- lichen Colonie oder Besizung anvertraut wird, gestellt werden.

"Der Gouverneur oder die höchste Behörde, welche oben erwähnt sind, sollen bezüglich solcher Auslieferungsbegehren möglichst conform mit den Bestimmungen des vorliegenden Vertrages ent- scheiden. Es steht ihnen indess frei, die Auslief- erung zu bewilligen oder den Fall ihrer Regierung zum Entscheid zu überweisen."

Die andern Punkte von Artikel XVI bleiben in der im Vertrag vereinbarten Form in Kraft.

Dieses Protokoll soll als integrirender Bestand- theil des Vertrages angesehen und beobachtet

werden.

Hongkong, 16th June, 1879.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wird be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

SUPREME COURT,

Hongkong, 16th June, 1879.

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court

at the Criminal Sessions held in May, 1879.

1. Wong A-sing, of San-on, aged 26 years, coolie, was found guilty of stealing a jacket and an umbrella from the room of Shin-t'ong, shroff to the China Fire Insurance Co. As there were five previous convictions proved against this prisoner, he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

2. Léung A-p'úi, of Canton, aged 25 years, ̇hawker, pleaded guilty to stealing from Li A- kam a foot rule and a pencil. As there were

two previous convictions proved against this pri- soner, he was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment with hard labour.

3. C'han A-i, of Shun-tak, widow, aged 65 years, pleaded guilty to unlawfully detaining a woman named Léung A-yung and sending her out of the Colony for the purposes of prostitu- tion. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

4. Sò A-siu and Ch'an A-i were found guilty of detaining a boy under the age of 13 years with intent to sell the said child and deprive the mo- ther of its possession. The prisoners took the child to a druggist at Yau-má-tí and sold him for $28. It appeared on the trial, however, that the prisoners had been employed by another wo- man to sell the child and that they only received a small brokerage on the amount from her. The Jury recommended the prisoners to mercy, as they were not the principal actors in the matter, and they were each sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour.

5. Lung Chung-fuk, of San-úi, 25 years old, shoemaker, pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of broken silver to the value of 30 cents on board the steam ship Ichang, on the 4th May. As there were two previous convictions against this prisoner, he was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment with hard labour..

6. Ch'an A-sing, of Tung-kún, 22 years of age, coolie, was found guilty of stealing from the per- son of one Chang Kan-lán the sum of $100. As this was this prisoner's first known offence, he was only sentenced to eighteen months' hard

labour.

Distilleries.

XIX. No person except the Spirit Farmer or a distiller licensed by him shall make, distil, or rectify any spirituous

liquors, or shall knowingly keep or have in his possession

any still or other utensil, or apparatus, for distilling or making or rectifying spirituous liquors: Provided however

that all persons holding licences under Ordinance 3 of 1869

may have their licences renewed from time to time upon

such considerations and conditions and for such periods as to the Governor in Council may seem fit.

XX. The Spirit Farmer may issue licences to distil in the form of schedule K, on each of which licences an annual licence fee of fifty dollars shall be payable in

advance.

XXI. No licensed distiller shall sell to any person except the Spirit Farmer, or send out or deliver any spirituous liquors in bottles, or in cask, in quantity less than a hundred gallons: Provided that nothing in this section shall be held to interfere with licensees under the proviso of section LXXIX.

Contraband Dealing.

XXII. No person except the Spirit Farmer shall know- ingly purchase or have in his possession, custody, or control any spirituous liquors with regard to which a breach of this Ordinance has been committed, and the burden of proof that this Ordinance has been complied with shall rest upon the seller or purchaser or owner of such spirituous liquors.

Search for Deficiency.

XXIII. The Spirit Farmer may, on the coming into opera- tion of this Ordinance, demand from every owner of spirituous liquors an account in writing of the quantity and description of spirituous liquors he owns, and any Spirit Farmer may at any time, but not oftener than twice in each week, in like manier demand a similar account, and enter

the premises in which such spirituous liquors are stored

and inspect the same, provided that such demand or entry

is made on any lawful day between 6 A.M. and 6 P.M.

XXIV. If it shall appear on such inspection, or other- wise on search duly authorised, that there is any deficiency in the quantity of spirituous liquors which ought to be found in any place, the importer or owner shall be held guilty of a breach of this Ordinance, and shall also pay duty on the deficient quantity: Provided always that such owner or importer shall not be held liable for any deficiency arising from leakage or breakage, the proof of which leakage or breakage shall lie on him.

Public Houses, Adjunct Licences and Spirit Shops. XXV. No person shall sell or dispose of any intox- icating liquor by retail within the Colony, or shall permit or suffer any such intoxicating liquor to be sold or disposed of by retail in his house or other place within the Colony, without having obtained a licence under this Ordinance; and this section shall apply to all retail sales of liquor to any person on pretence that he is a customer for other goods, as well as to all sales of quantities exceeding two gallons with an understanding that part is to be returned, and generally to any act whatever which, under whatsoever pretence, constitutes a retail sale of intoxicating liquor: Provided always that apothecaries or druggists may ad- minister or sell any intoxicating liquor for bona fide me- dicinal purposes.

Actions. Procedure.

LXXI. All actions and prosecutions against any person which may be lawfully brought for anything done under this Ordinance, shall be commenced within six months after the thing complained of shall have been done, and not otherwise.

LXXII. Notice in writing of such action and of the cause thereof, shall be given to the defendant, at least one month before the commencement of such action, and without such notice no such action shall be brought, or being brought, the plaintiff shall be non-suited.

LXXIII. In every action so brought, it shall be expressly alleged that the defendant acted maliciously and without reasonable or probable cause, and if at the trial the plain- tiff shall fail to prove such allegation, judgment shall be given for the defendant.

LXXIV. The defendant in his plea or defence to the action shall set out specially that he was acting under the pro- visions of this Ordinance, naming the section or sections under which he was acting, and shall state generally the nature of the defence he proposes to make at the trial, but the defendant shall not, at the trial, except as next herein- after provided, be prevented from giving evidence of matters not stated in his plea.

LXXV. If it shall appear to the Court on any such trial that any matter proposed to be put in evidence for the de- fendant, and not set out or clearly referred to in the de- fendant's plea is of such a nature as to embarrass the plain- tiff, by reason of the plaintiff not having had notice or knowledge, or the means of knowing that the defendant in- tended to adduce such evidence, the Court shall postpone the trial and allow the defendant to amend his plea on such terms as may seem reasonable, and with or without costs.

LXXVI. Judgment shall not be given for the plaiutitt in any action for anything done or intended to be done under this Ordinance, if it shall be made to appear to the Court that the defendant acted by the orders of any Magis- trate or Justice of the Peace empowered by law to act in that behalf, or if the defendant acted in good faith believing he had power to act unless it be shown that the defendant acted maliciously and without reasonable or probable cause

LXXVII.

action commenced, the costs up till the time of such tender,

offer, or payment, shall be in the discretion of the Court,

and the costs after such time shall be payable by the plaintiff to the defendaut.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

The title and preamble of this Ordinance sufficiently indicate its object, but it may be pointed out that the dealing in wines and fermented liquors in quantities of two gallons and upwards is unaffected.

The Ordinance is chiefly founded on the Straits Settle- ments' Excise Ordinance, but incorporates and consolidates the enactments in force in Hongkong relating to distilleries and to the sale of spirituous and fermented liquors within the Colony.

Statement of Objects and Reasons.

The title and preamble of this Ordinance sufficiently indicate its object, but it may be pointed out that the dealing in wines and fermented liquors in quantities of two gallons and upwards is unaffected.

The Ordinance is chiefly founded on the Straits Settle- ments' Excise Ordinance, but incorporates and consolidates the enactments in force in Hongkong relating to distilleries and to the sale of spirituous and fermented liquors within the Colony.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching had weather

are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Fasterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather

are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

Hongkong, 16th June, 1879.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather

are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

'olonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong. 16th June, 1879.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flugstuff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Halk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- roms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

df there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly. a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 19th May, 1879.

SIR,I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for the year 1878, together with the Tables showing the work done in the different Establishments of the Colonial Medical Department. I also enclose the Report of the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital of the work done in that Establishment during the past year. I regret that this Report has not been sent in before, but the absence of the Superintendent on leave and the burning of the Hospital have occasioned him more trouble than usual in making up his Report and Tables.

The Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital was away on leave for seven months during the past year, and a difficulty occurred in procuring a substitute. For about three weeks, I did the duties of Superintendent of this Establishment in addition to my own duties, but fortunately Dr. VON DER HORCK, who had newly arrived in the Colony, undertook to do duty as Acting Superintendent, and thus relieved me of such an arduous addition to my own work.

The Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital is the only man in the Colonial Service of Hongkong, whose whole time is given to the service of the Government, who has any difficulty in procuring a substitute without loss to himself. In the service, two months' leave of absence in every year is allowed on full pay, and one year's leave on half pay after six years' service, provided a sub- stitute can be procured who will undertake to do the full pay leave for nothing, and the half pay leave for the half pay. This is generally managed in other Departments, but in ours there are no surplus Medical Officers who can undertake to do the work. Consequently, under the Colonial regulations, unless the Superintendent can procure some Medical man not belonging to the service, to do the duties, generally at some loss to himself, he cannot get any leave. I represented this hard case to the Gov- ernment, who, I am glad to say, coincided with my views, and the money was voted to pay the Acting Superintendent; so that the Superintendent was enabled to have his leave without loss to himself, or any detriment to the working of the Establishment under his charge.

This year we lost the services of an old and valued servant of the Government-Mr. A. A. BOTELHO, Apothecary to the Government Civil Hospital, who retired, owing to ill health, after twenty- three years' service. It has been impossible to procure an equally trustworthy and efficient officer in the Colony to take his place at the same pay. I therefore recommended that the salary should be considerably increased, and a properly qualified Apothecary should be procured from home who could also undertake the duties of Analyst, which recommendation has been approved of. There will thus be two qualified medical men attached to this institution, and any such trouble as was referred to in my

last Annual Report will, I hope, be impossible in future.

POLICE.

There has been a considerable increase in the number of admissions from the Force to Hospital. The greatest number being from the coloured portion of the Force, and among them occurred the greatest number of deaths. Still the number of deaths in the Force was small, being only six al- together. Table III shows the number of sick from each district for each month of the year. There was a greater number of cases of venereal among the Police than usual, but only two cases of consti- tutional disease reported.

Table IV shows the strength, sickness and mortality amongst the Troops in Garrison here, and the figures are high, both as regards admissions to Hospital and Deaths.

The admissions were less than last year, the deaths more by one, but the amount of sickness is not so surprising as it was in 1877, for then it was among troops that had been here a year and had previously come from Malta. Whereas last year it was among troops that had in the beginning of the year arrived from Singapore, and had been through a campaign in the Tropics. Here also there is a considerable increase in the number of cases of venereal disease, but of the 221 cases recorded, only 11 showed constitutional symptoms.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

On the 26th of December, the temporary Government Civil Hospital was burnt down. Such short notice of its danger was given, owing to the rapidity with which the conflagration of the buildings below it spread, that there was only time to remove the patients, 'instruments and records, some of which were lost in removal. The furniture, bedding, stores and library of the Hospital were all burnt. The attendants also lost most of their things, being engaged in removing the Government pro- perty that I have mentioned as being saved from the fire. No thought of the fire spreading with such rapidity to the Hospital had been entertained, and the attendants had been on the alert all night ex- pecting cases of injury might be brought in every moment, but though over 300 houses were com- pletely destroyed, no case of injury fortunately occurred requiring to be brought to Hospital.

Our troubles concerning the Government Civil Hospital are now worse than ever. One building was destroyed by a typhoon in 1874, and another has been this year destroyed by fire. Both these buildings were, as has been frequently reported, inadequate in their accommodation. Now the Lock Hospital, which was well fitted for the work it was built for, is quite inadequate for the use it is put to as a temporary Civil Hospital, and the temporary Small Pox Wards are inadequate for the use they have been put to as a temporary Lock Hospital. Some rooms in the ruined

Some rooms in the ruined Hospital destroyed in 1874, being used as Small Pox Wards are not watertight, but fortunately Small Pox is only prevalent during the dry season; they could not be used for any purpose during the typhoon season, as the building would not be safe. All these troubles have been fully reported on, and it is to be hoped that the proposed Government Civil Hospital accommodation, which has been so long coming, will soon be among the things that are, having all the requisites necessary for the comfort and well-being of the sick as well as the officers and attendants attached to it.

There has been a considerable increase in the number of patients received into the Civil Hospital this year, both medical and surgical cases, and the limited accommodation gave serious inconvenience, but the percentage of mortality among the patients received has been less than in any previous year, except 1876, as shewn by Table VI.

Table V shows the type of disease. Fevers and Bowel complaints being predominant, the former being chiefly of the milder forms, only one case of death occurring in over 300 cases of all types of Fever admitted. There has been a considerable increase in the number of venereal cases admitted, but I am happy to say those contracted in Hongkong have been of the mildest type.

Table VII shows the admissions and deaths in this Hospital for every month in the year. The greatest number of admissions took place in the month of August, but from May to November, the number averaged over 120 per month, the admissions for the other five months averaging under 90 per month.

Table VIII shows the number of dead bodies brought to Hospital, which, as usual, were princi-

pally Chinese.

The Staff worked well, although the loss of Mr. BOTELHO's services caused considerable inconve- nience. Mr. SENNA, who acted for him, though painstaking and willing, not having had the same amount of experience, could not fill the void left by Mr. A. A. BOTELHO, but for all that deserves praise and credit for the way in which he has performed his duties.

VICTORIA GAOL.

The medical charge of this Establishment is in my hands. There has been a greater number of admissions to Hospital than usual and a greater number of deaths. The number of cases allowed to leave the Gaol with conditional pardons on account of disease have been fewer, which partly accounts for the increased number of deaths, but the main cause was the number of heart complaints of these 22 were cases of general Anasarca, and the heart disease was first brought to notice by complaints of difficulty of breathing, rheumatic pains and swelling of the lower extremities. Ultimately in all these cases general Anasarca occurred, the whole body limbs and face being swollen to an immense size. Some of the cases that recovered and are still in Gaol appeared worse than others that died. Of the cases that died nearly all were examined post-mortem, and in all these so examined the disease was similar, dilated right side of the heart; in some cases the wall so thin as to be almost transparent; dropsical effusion into the pericardium and abdomen, and general congestion of all the internal organs. All these cases occurred in the beginning of the year in the cold months, a large number of Bronchitis and rheumatic cases occurring the same time, many more than usual being of a severe type, I was puzzled to account for them; at last I discovered the cells were being washed by regulation so many times a week, weather not being taken into account, so that on dull damp days the cell floors never dried at all, and the prisoners slept on them damp as they were almost when first washed.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JULY, 1879.

Orders being given that the cells should only be washed on dry sunny days soon decreased this class of cases to an inconsiderable number. The case of Hernia was an old standing irreducible one. Operation revealed that a piece of omentum twisted round the gut was the cause of the obstruction, the gut was released from the constriction, but the old adhesions prevented its return to the abdomen, and the patient, a poor old debilitated creature, sunk and died soon after the operation. The case of Alco- holia was a poor old Indian named JERRY, who used to get his living by blacking sailors' boots and used to hang round the grog shops in Queen's Road trying for customers. It appears he more often got his pay in the form of a drink than anything else, and was frequently in Gaol for being drunk and incapable. This time he was brought in as usual, he hardly recovered his senses, was unable to take food, and died soon after admission. On enquiry it appeared he had lived on nothing but drink for many days.

There was one very curious case of feigned insanity this year in the Gaol. This was the prisoner NEWMAN on remand for murder. For nearly three months, this man never spoke except on one occasion, and so skilfully did he feign chronic dementia that had I not seen him from the first I should have been very doubtful about his case, as it was, I was quite sure he was sane. He was seen by other Medical men of more experience than myself in psychological cases, and they all had great doubts of his sanity. During his examination before the Magistrate, he kept up the sham most successfully, apparently taking no note of the proceedings. Yet when he suddenly gave it up a few days before his trial, he showed how attentive he had been by his analysis of the evidence, and how carefully he had noted things during the time he had been feigning by bringing a charge against one of the Warders of unnecessary cruelty, giving dates and naming events that occurred about the same time. He gave in, remarking "he'd sooner die than live fifteen or twenty years in Gaol after all." All through this case many important symptoms were absent. The temperature never varied from health, the skin was moist and no particular smell could be detected, the tongue was clean, bowels regular and pulse normal. He would not take any solid food for weeks, but he took enough soup and milk to keep a man in good condition, he never lost weight and though he would do nothing he was told to do, yet when compulsion was used he was very careful to avoid being hurt in any way. When electricity or the cold douche was used, he shouted and struggled, but never uttered a word. He contrived to do with very little sleep, but never slept less than three or four hours in the twenty-four. The symptoms were, his silence, his doing with little sleep, stripping himself naked, obscene and dirty habits, daubing the walls with night soil, and only once his own face and body, singing to himself, and a palsied motion of the head with twitching of the muscles of the face, but this only when he knew he was being watched. Two feigned attempts at suicide also when he knew he was being watched. These were very bungling attempts, very different from the cunning usually shewn in suicidal mania. He at last gave in when confined in a cell, specially prepared, so that he was watched at all times, without his knowledge though he suspected it, the trial was then too great and he gave in all at once.

It was evident that he had at some time or other seen or been attendant on some case of madness, without which I do not think a man of his class could have made such a faithful copy. He was cool and self-possessed in his last moments making a short speech from the scaffold to the by-standers.

There is considerable difficulty with the sick in Hospital which is always overcrowded, the Chinese only getting about 200 cubic feet of space per man, and the Europeans about 500 cubic feet it is true the cells have large windows and only barred gates opening on to the corridors, but in winter the windows at any rate have to be closed and the ventilation is anything but good, added to which the night soil bucket is in the cell, though the dry earth system in use keeps the smell from becoming overpowering. The other cells of the prison, with the exception of the European and separate cells, are just as much overcrowded. The close atmosphere of the cells and corridors at unlocking time in the morning is very bad, but all these things have been reported on many times by myself and others. Though the number of admissions to the Gaol this year is less than usual, yet the daily average number of prisoners is greatly in excess, and consequently the overcrowding is worse than it ever was.

There have been the usual number of opium cases, but with no case has there been any trouble or difficulty; they are not allowed any opium or other narcotics, and seldom require any particular attention. One old woman said she had been an opium smoker for twenty-five years. She was sixty years old and anæmic, was treated for the Anæmia and improved very much in general health, but her opium smoking was entirely ignored.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 9TH JULY, 1879.

The Friend of China has criticised me very severely for what I have said on this subject in It is asked "what previous reports, and, I think, in a very one sided and intemperate manner. peculiar advantages Dr. AYRES has to enable him to correct the errors of his predecessors in the field?" Now, although I have no desire to set my opinions up against such notable authorities as have been quoted, still I have some right to give an opinion. In Hongkong, which is purely a trading port, are to be found natives of all parts of the Chinese Empire, and I speak from personal inspection of their homes and habits. I think Hongkong has the only prison in China under European supervision that contains anything like a daily average of five hundred Chinese prisoners of every class, from compradores to beggars from all parts of the Empire. I have had now nearly six years' experience in this Colony, and I doubt if many have had greater advantages than myself for forming an opinion on the subject of opium smoking; and over seven years in Bengal and Assam should give me some experience in opium eating.

Much has been said about the Western nations not taking to the habit of opium smoking. As if any Western people had the patience necessary for the enjoyment of the habit. Has any Western nation taken up the Indian Hooka and Narghile for the purpose of smoking tobacco? I think not. Neither has the use of opium for eating or Indian hemp for smoking and eating been indulged in by Western nations to any extent for similar reasons. As little would an Asiatic think of indulging in the athletic and violent exercises, common among all Western nations, for pleasure. It is rare for the most inveterate Western tobacco smoker to sit down and smoke a pipe and do that only, he must read talk, walk, or do something else at the same time, so the short pipe, cigar, or cigarrete, or chewing, are the favourite Western modes of using tobacco. And therefore my friends would look upon me as a fool if I advised them, as the Friend of China suggests, to give up alcohol and tobacco in favour of opium smoking.

I distinctly say that opium smoking, as generally indulged in by the masses, is too limited to produce injurious effects on the constitution. It is a very small minority that are able to indulge in the habit to injurious excess, the drug being far too costly to admit of the masses indulging to such extent, independent of other reasons.

I also distinctly state that the habit of opium smoking is not of necessity an increasing one, any more than the habits of tobacco smoking and spirit drinking. The habit of opium eating is, but that of opium smoking is decidedly not. In the majority of cases, or rather I should say except in a very small minority of cases, it is usual to find that the opium smoker has indulged in the same quantity of the drug daily for years, neither increasing it or lessening it. Why, in the reports quoted by the Friend of China, the quantities used daily by individuals are given, and the proportionate numbers using the drug in those quantities daily, and so evidence is given of the correctness of my statement by the authorities quoted against me.

Dr. JAMES WATSON says: "My opinion of opium is that, except as a medicine, it is never necessary, and for other purposes is seldom if ever of any service." Just so, and that is my opinion also, but the same may be said of alcohol and tobacco.

Dr. WATSON continues: "While alcohol is only injurious when taken irregularly and in too large quantities, and, to the majority of people, who either work with head or hands, is, in some shape or other, if not a necessity, a great comfort, and, as a dietetic agent, of considerable value."

Well, opinions differ as the Friend of India says, and Dr. PARKE'S experiments go to show that alcohol is anything but a benefit to workers with head and hands, and is certainly not a necessity, but used medicinally may be of great benefit as a dietetic agent and otherwise.

My opinion is that opium, tobacco and alcohol, except when used medicinally under competent direction, are in no case necessities, but in the way generally used by habit are distinctly luxuries, fortunately indulged in to excess by only a small minority. Generally used for pleasure and comfort by the individual indulging in them, very often, even when the indulgence is limited, to the discom- fort more or less of his family and friends. Such being my opinions, I should not think of recom- mending the use of any of these drugs as a habit to any one, used in that way they may do harm and can do no good.

Being an individual of active habits and restless temperament, I have no sympathy with the opium smoker or eater. I like tobacco smoking, and indulge, though very moderately, in alcoholic liquors, but have no prejudice in their favour, believing that they are not necessary, but simply luxuries, which, moderately indulged in, do me no harm. I prefer tobacco to alcoholic liquors, which I rarely indulge in except as Dr. WATSON observes "as a dietetic agent"; yet do not set myself up as an example to be followed.

years. Instead There has been a considerable alteration in the type of prisoners in the Gaol of late of the sturdy desperadoes and pirates that used formerly to form the majority of the prisoners, we have now a considerable number of weak and broken-down prisoners in for minor offences, such as petty thefts, gambling, begging and committing nuisances, who spend a great deal of time in Hospital and have to be put to light work all the time they are in confinement. They are a great trouble and anxiety and in many cases the loss of freedom is about the only punishment that can be permitted, with that exception they have never been as well off in all their lives. The separate cells and the new diet scales have been very useful in dealing with this class of prisoners.

THE SMALL POX HOSPITAL.

This Establishment has been under my charge for the last four years, as when the temporary Government Civil Hospital was moved to the Central District, it was too far off for the attendance of the Superintendent.

There have been only seven cases admitted, all of them of a comparatively mild type, and there were no deaths.

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM

Is under my charge, and this year there have been five inmates. Two of whom died. One was an old Sidibhoy, who had become paralytic and idiotic and lingered for some months in this condition; the other was a case of Acute Mania, and the patient had mutilated himself frightfully. The rest were discharged.

TUNG WAH HOSPITAL.

The total number of cases admitted into this Hospital during 1878 was 1,646 and there were 756 deaths. This Establishment attends principally to out-patients, of whom 83,086 received advice, those admitted are in a very large number of cases incurable. The Hospital is entirely under Chinese supervision, kept fairly clean, and the patients' comfort attended to according to Chinese ideas. A great number of vaccinations have been performed, 1,683 altogether, of which 100 were performed by Chinese Doctors attached to this institution in Villages and Rural Districts of the Colony.

THE LOCK HOSPITAL.

The admissions to this Hospital during the past year were 105, showing a decrease of 72 as compared with last year. Among none of the registered women was there any case of constitutional disease, the sores being all of the soft type or caused by abrasions. Two Chinese women petitioned for admission and treatment, both of them suffering severely from constitutional disease. One of these women was covered with ulcers from the crown of her head to her feet, over thirty in number, varying from the size of a crown piece to the size of a man's hand, she was nearly eight months in Hospital, but was ultimately discharged cured. The other was suffering from extensive sores on the groins and genitals and was also discharged cured.

The average number of days' detention in Hospital shows a considerable increase, but this has been caused by obstinate acrid discharges in young recruits of the brothels, who have been over- worked, not from any increase in the severer forms of venereal disease.

Table XV A shows the admissions to Hospital, the number of diets issued, and the average number of days each case was under treatment.

$

Table B shows the number of women under examination, 244, and the number of examinations made, 12,086.

C and E Tables show the number of cases of venereal among the Naval and Merchant seamen, the Military and Police. Among the Military there has been a considerable increase on last year, the Naval show a slight decrease, the Police are nearly doubled, but have only two mild cases of constitutional disease. The Merchant seamen decreased, having few cases of constitutional disease.

Tables E 2 and 3 show the amount of constitutional disease among the Naval and Military stationed here, and it will be observed that only a small number of the cases were contracted in Hongkong; 7 in the Navy and 13 among the Military.

Table F is conspicuous by its absence, this table showed the number of arrests of unlicensed prostitutes, but no arrests have been made this year, pending the enquiries of the Contagious Diseases Commission, the results of whose labours have lately been published. This has been probably the cause, in part, of the increase of disease, especially among the Military.

The Commission has done good work in discovering many abuses that ought to be and will be, I hope, impossible for the future, but the conclusions come to by two of its members are open to question. I think that the evidence goes to show that much good has been done, at any rate in the prevention of the spread of disease amongst the European part of the community, and that the type of disease contracted is not to be compared in severity with that recorded to have been common in past years.

That "the licensed brothels for foreigners are in themselves a source of infection," except of mild complaints inseparable from promiscuous intercourse, is not the case. That hereditary disease is contracted in Registered Houses for the use of Foreigners I am in a position to deny, for not one of the women in these houses have suffered from constitutional disease during the past four years. That disease is contracted in these houses of a sort is undeniable, but it is possible and by no means uncommon to contract disease from the chastest women, and marriage cannot prevent it. Self abuse will cause discharges which come under the head of venereal disease. No law made by man can

prevent some class of diseases arising from prostitution, but the laws were made to prevent all disease, as far as possible, by attention to health and cleanliness, and especially to stamp out hereditary syphilis, in this I contend it has been most successful in this Colony.

Undoubtedly the registered women are liable to contract disease from men coming from other countries, but that severe forms of disease even to the severest are not well known among the Chinese, is untrue. It is a daily occurrence to see Chinese in the streets of Hongkong horribly scarred with syphilitic disease, with nose and eyes completely gone. Prisoners come into the Gaol who, when stripped, reveal most horrible scars and deformities, the result of syphilis in its worst form. Sailors have been received in Hospital here with disease contracted in the nearest coast ports of the most revolting type. Two women have been received into Hospital this year, diseased by their own countrymen, and in a most deplorable state. Any one can see miserable little wretches of Chinese children about the streets of Victoria suffering from hereditary syphilis. One Chinese Doctor tells the Commission that he has been in practice 23 years in Hongkong, that he treats over 1,000 cases of syphilis a year, more among men than women; and he makes a very clear distinction between diseases All this goes to prove All this in his evidence, though his theory and practice are not to be recommended. the disease is here and in the Canton province in its worst form.

take into The Commission nowhere in commenting on the "Modification of Type of Disease consideration that a similar law to our Contagious Diseases Ordinance is in force in Singapore and Japan, that similar laws prevail in Europe and India, that rapid communication is more common by sea, and seamen found to be diseased are sent ashore for treatment at the nearest port, that many vessels carry their own Surgeons and that by these means d'sease not belonging to China has been to a considerable extent prevented from entering this Port. So that similar laws in other countries must have helped to free this Port from disease, or perhaps the Commission give all the credit to those other countries for exporting these diseases into this Colony and China, and therefore as they now have laws for the prevention of the spread of disease there is no reason for us to trouble ourselves further about the matter.

That brothels licensed for Chinese should not have the Medical clauses of the Ordinance applied to them, I agree. But that the Government supervision of these houses has had no appreciable beneficial results, I deny. When I first arrived in this Colony, Typhoid Fever of a very virulent type was rife in these houses, and I had orders to enquire into the matter, the result was a Report I Mr. TONNOCHY, sent in, January 19th, 1874, which the Commissioners do not appear to have seen. then Acting Registrar General, went round with me on the first series of inspections, and a more disgusting, filthy, overcrowded state of things than these houses presented it is impossible to conceive. Now no brothel is allowed to have more inmates than it can decently accommodate, and every brothel is thoroughly cleaned and whitewashed once a year at least, oftener if required. Latrines and drains are kept in decent order and the houses have been rendered as wholesome as the style of building permits.

The Chinese community appreciate the cleanliness that has taken the place of the filthy state of things disclosed by my report, for I have often been spoken to on the subject by some of the leading Chinese merchants.

That being under Government supervision they ought never to have been in such a state, is undeniable. But being left in the hands of Inspectors, who had no orders to guide them and who were perfectly ignorant of what was required, it could hardly be otherwise.

I went round each house and wrote down in a book for the Inspectors' guidance, how many women it could accommodate and what it required to render it wholesome. I also wrote out a set of general rules to guide the Inspectors, and I make yearly inspections to see for myself that these places are in proper order.

order. If these houses were again left to themselves as before, they would soon relapse

into the condition in which I found them.

With the prosecution of unregistered women, my Department has nothing to do, but I think much might be done without any such disgraceful proceedings as have been revealed. Unlicensed women might be prevented from solicitation in the streets, and licensed women might have passes allowed them to be out in certain parts of the town at certain hours of the evening, it would then be Unlicensed houses kept by easy to tell at once whether a woman on the street was licensed or not. Chinese women admitting Foreigners who are known not to be residents, or known to be in a position to keep women might be prosecuted, for it is quite evident that Foreigners frequent these houses for one purpose and not to have a chat and a cup of tea or even a drink. If the Inspectors are not to be trusted, paid informers are still less so, and I do not see that the proof of actual intercourse is necessary. Even private soldiers and sailors have sufficient honourable feeling to prevent them betraying the women who diseased them, for it is certain in the majority of cases they are not so ignorant as they pretend to be of who the woman was. A man who would take money to, and after having inter- course with a woman, betray her for no other reason, must be a scoundrel, whose evidence would be worthless on oath.

408

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JULY, 1879.

With regard to the examinations of the women at the Hospital, I have always carefully watched the newcomers, and I have never seen the slightest approach of anything like diffidence on the score of modesty, but there is always a look of anxiety and doubt on the face which, in nine cases out of ten, changes to a smile of relief when they find it does not, as they appear to dread, cause them any pain; thenceforward they do not seem to care about it. That any woman should like it is not to be expected, it is a nuisance no doubt to have to come to the Hospital and interferes with their occupa- tions. With regard to the remarks made about the detention of the women in Hospital and the doubt about diagnosis of disease, it is a matter of experience. I always detain a woman if she has a discharge and there are any inflammatory symptoms with it, or if there are sores, as much for the women's benefit as any one else. Women with purulent discharge from the urethra or orifices of the glands of bartholim are always detained. If all the women with innocent discharges were locked up the Hospital would be always full.

The health of the men in the different forces in the Colony during the past five years and the small number of women in Hospital is, I think, sufficient guarantee of the discretion used. For instance, this year of 12,086 examinations, in only 105 cases was detention required. In promiscuous intercourse there must be a certain amount of risk to both paties, Urithritis, or as it is called Uncomplicated Gonorrhoea, and sores from abrasions are among the most common, and some men and most young prostitutes are very subject to them, this is of course disease, but it is of a trivial character and easily cured, if not allowed to run on. These complaints furnish the greatest number of cases reported here, both among men and women. As Surgeon-Major GRANT observes "so far as Syphilis is concerned, the number of instances in which secondary affection has supervened is remarkably few and of a mild form,” and it is to this end that my attention is directed. I am not desirous to fill the Hospital unnecessarily, and I have never had any complaint from the women, not even any grumbling, nor any need to prosecute them for such disturbances as they made formerly. Which, if the evidence before the Commission is to be believed, they must have been to great extent justified in.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY.

Table XVI shows the population, mortality and percentage of deaths of the European community in Hongkong in the last ten years. Of these years three only show a lower percentage, and the same number a less number of death than 1878, so that the health of the Colony, as far as Europeans are concerned, may be considered to have been exceptionally good, as the same allowance must be made every year for those who leave the Colony almost hopelessly ill.

Table XVIII shows the Annual Atmospheric Report, by which it will be seen that though the heat was as great as in any preceding year reported, yet the rainfall was considerably above the average, which bears out what has been voted in previous reports that the greater the rainfall is in tropical countries the better the health of the inhabitants.

Table XVII shows the work done by the Inspectors of Nuisances. There is a considerable increase in the number of persons summoned, and the amount collected is more than double that of last year, being $2,111.83 as compared with $857.96. I regret that no improvement has taken place in the construction of houses occupied by Chinese, many of which render the possibility of the in- habitants keeping them clean out of the question, not only are the plans wanting in all sanitary principles, but the construction is in many cases so faulty as to render them absolutely dangerous not only to their inhabitants but also to passengers through the streets. I could point out houses which have had to be rebuilt to my knowledge three times, the previous buildings, though quite new, having fallen down of themselves, from no atmospheric cause or convulsion of nature, but from faults of construction only, and this in a town where earthquakes are not unknown and which Typhoons have visited frequently and severely. I reported on the want of all sanitary arrangements in this class of houses especially in 1874, and the necessity for this being remedied in a town in which they are becoming yearly more numerous, and requisite owing to the rapidity with which the Chinese population increases.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL, HONGKONG, 10th May, 1879.

409

SIR, I have the honour to forward the Hospital Statistics for the year 1878, with remarks thereon.

I was absent on leave for seven months from 11th May to December 12th, and I am therefore not in a position to make a complete report of the working of the Hospital for the year.

Any reference to the buildings in which the work was done is unnecessary, they have been burnt and may now be allowed to rest in peace.

The burning, on the morning of the 26th December, was fortunately not attended with any mishap to the patients, as, with two exceptions, they were able to convey themselves to places of safety, and there was sufficient warning to enable every one to be removed in time. Those of them who were unable to take care of themselves, or were homeless, were accommodated in the Gaol infirmary for 24 hours; the others, sailors, police, &c., made their way to the boarding houses and elsewhere and returned to Hospital when the new temporary establishment was opened on the following day.

The staff worked very well under the trying circumstances; most of them lost some of their effects in attending to the calls of duty, and some of them sacrificed everything belonging to themselves. Their behaviour on this occasion was such as to deserve some encouragement.

On the 27th December, the Lock Hospital at West Point was opened as a temporary Civil Hospital, and a few remarks concerning this building may not be out of place.

It is admirably situated, standing on an eminence about 107 feet above mean low water.

Thus raised above the Queen's Road it stands well out towards the Harbour, and lying on the North-west side of the Peak, it has the advantage of wind from nearly every quarter.

The building itself, however, though good as a makeshift, is not large enough for a Civil Hospital, and it has faults of construction and arrangement, which materially detract from its value as a Hospital. The approach from the Queen's Road is in a very bad condition; the road is dilapidated, and the space beside it is used for shooting rubbish, and also as a public latrine for coolies: it is very foul in some places.

The accommodation for patients is as follows:-

The 1st class wards are badly arranged, the four rooms being only separated by a wooden partition open at the top and bottom, and there is a stove only in one of them, so the other three are very cold in winter and cannot always be used.

The water closets are not well arranged, for they are all inside the building, and have free commu- nication with the wards.

For the ordinary requirements of the Hospital there should be not less than the following number of beds :-

and there should be as well some additional provision for emergencies, and accommodation for infec- tious fevers.

The dispensary, drug store and Apothecary's quarters are all in one room, separated merely by an eight-foot partition; neither of them is sufficiently large and the arrangement is palpably a bad one. There is no accommodation whatever for analytical work.

There is not sufficient room for the stores of all kinds, and the Storekeeper's quarters are very defective.

The office and consulting room both of the Colonial Surgeon and of the Superintendent of the Hospital are not large enough and not private enough for medical examinations.

There is no operating room.

The accommodation for nurses and servants is not sufficient and it is badly arranged.

410

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JULY, 1879.

There is no proper provision for post-mortem examinations and inquests. The inspection of dead bodies and dissections have to be made in a room which is too small and badly arranged, and as there is no separate dead house it not infrequently happens that while an examination is going on, there are other bodies lying by in advanced stages of decomposition.

Inquests, instead of being conducted in a separate building, are held in the waiting room of the Hospital; an arrangement at once inconvenient to the Coroner and his Court, and detrimental to the well-being of the patients and good order of the Hospital.

There is no laundry in the establishment, and the bedding and clothing are sent to the Gaol to be washed.

The fire alarm bell for the western district has been placed in the Hospital compound, and though may be convenient for the fire brigade, it cannot be otherwise than a source of discomfort and danger to the sick in Hospital.

this

To a long list of imperfections may be added the want of a garden about the Hospital, where the patients might have the advantage of fresh air and change of scene.

On the 15th November, the Apothecary, Mr. A. A. BOTELHO, who had been ailing for some time, was obliged to retire from the service. He had served the Government for twenty-three years, and was a thoroughly able and trustworthy officer. Since Mr. BOTELHO's retirement, the Steward, Mr. SENNA, has performed the duties of Apothecary, pending the arrival of a qualified medical practitioner from England to take up the appointment.

With regard to the Hospital work, the Register for 1878 records 1,385 cases: 98 of these com- prising superficial wounds, 4 cases of dog bite, 2 of bites by men, and one of opium poisoning, were treated in the surgery and then dismissed: 19 of the others were brought in moribund from injury or disease, and died shortly afterwards.

There were thus 1,268 patients admitted during the year who underwent treatment in the Hospi- tal. Of this number 565 were Police, and the remaining 703 were made up of seamen, private resi- dents, destitutes, prisoners, members of the Chinese Customs and Revenue Services, and officers and seamen from foreign ships of war.

The number of admissions from the Police force was very large, being 147 more than last year. The increase took place during my absence, so I can only call attention to the fact. A reference to Table III. shows that the increase came principally from the Central Station, No. 7 and Aberdeen.

The causes of admission among the Police, were chiefly diarrhoea, febrile attacks, bronchial catarrh and surgical injuries.

The total number of days spent in Hospital in 1878 by members of the Force was 4,162; in 1877 it was 3,391.

The admissions from foreign ships of war were three in number: two French and one American. Room is usually found for these cases in the Naval Hospital, but when that is full they are sent to the Civil Hospital.

Table V. shows the varieties of disease among the Patients generally, with the mortality from each. There is a considerable increase on the preceding year, in the number of cases registered as febricula, while diarrhoea also appears to have been more prevalent.

Venereal disease sent a larger number of cases to Hospital, and contusions were more common. Fractures showed a slight increase.

Six cases of insanity were recorded: these were admitted into the Civil Hospital and after observation four of them were consigned to the Lunatic Asylum.

The mortality was not large, only 50 deaths having taken place in Hospital, and of these 19 were moribund when admitted.

It has, however, been before remarked that a small mortality is not a criterion of the severity of the cases which have been under treatment in the Hospital; 'for many of the Chinese who have become the subjects of severe injury, are removed by their friends, and swell the lists of mortality in their native places, instead of remaining in Hospital with a chance of recovery.

The number of dead bodies brought to the post-mortem Room by the Police was 118, two more

than in 1877.

The receipts from paying patients during the year amounted to $4,494.95. In addition to this the Board of Trade paid into the Treasury for the treatment of merchant seamen the sum of $2,637.00 and Hospital stoppages for the Police amounted to $671.99.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Departmen, a Black de

will be hoisted

at the Office Flagshajj. A similar signed will be hoisted and a gun, will be fired from the Potter Hulk, The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer. sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly. a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

FREDERICK STEWART,

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 12th April, 1879.

SIR, I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong, China, and Japan during 1878.

2. The chief feature of the year has been the gradual consolidation of the work of the Department on the lines of the International Regulations agreed upon under the Treaty of Berne. In 1877 the public reaped the benefit of that Treaty in the form of a general and very considerable reduction of postage, in the year under review the community of Hongkong has enjoyed it in the shape of extension of the hours for posting. Letters are now received on shore until half an hour before the packets, British or French, leave for Europe, and a letter for any part of the world can now be posted on board either packet up to almost the very last moment. Moveable boxes have also been placed on the Shanghai and Yokohama packets of both lines.

3. Some Continental Post Offices are of opinion that the British system of late fees is indefensible, if not illegal. It may be doubted, however, whether those offices permit even ordinary posting up to hours anything like so late as it is the practice to allow in British Offices. Now, to take Hongkong as an example, if everybody were to be allowed to go on posting everything to the last moment possible, it might be practicable to keep the windows open for ordinary correspondence five minutes longer than they are kept open at present, and probably nine-tenths of the matter thrown upon the Department during that five minutes might just as well have been posted three days before. Whereas by the imposition of a late fee the merchant and the banker gain half an hour to finish and close their important despatches. The question is simply whether the public prefers five minutes of promiscuous liberty gratis to half an hour secured by the payment of a small charge. There cannot be much doubt which of the two would be chosen in Hongkong.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, 12th April, 1879.

SIR, I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong, China, and Japan during 1878.

2. The chief feature of the year has been the gradual consolidation of the work of the Department on the lines of the International Regulations agreed upon under the Treaty of Berne.

4. The considerable modifications of mail hours introduced during the year would have been easier to effect, and would be easier to maintain, but for a certain tenacity of old custom more worthy of the conservatism ascribed to Chinese than of the intelligent progress of the West. When the rates of postage by French packet were almost prohibitive, and advanced by a perplexing quarter-ounce unit, a resolution never to write by that packet was intelligible, but now that it is at once the cheaper and the quicker opportunity, the watchword, I never write by French packet, does seem a little out of place. A fair division of correspondence between the two packets would be a great boon to this Department, the officers of which have not enough to do on one mail day, and far too much on the other.

5. The issuing of a printed list of mails each morning has been adopted, and has been found con- venient. It saves the laborious writing of some 5,000 notices annually, whilst these are replaced by more than 73,000 printed slips issued to the public. The only difficulty has been in getting notice of the day's departures early enough. Some persons seem unable to conceive that anything is done in this Office before 10 o'clock in the morning, and in one or two instances it has been necessary to hint at a prosecution, which, however, it is hoped may be avoided. There ought to be no difficulty in issuing the day's list at 8.30 A.M., which is perhaps, on the whole, the most convenient hour.

6. The money order system with the Straits Settlements has been a decided success. Although it has been in operation but a short time, orders representing about $100 a month have been issued on Singapore, and the return remittances shew about the same average. These figures seem insignificant when compared with the millions handled by European offices, but as between our small communities they represent a considerable and increasing amount of public convenience. It takes a long time for any facility of this kind to get thoroughly understood and appreciated. People are only just beginning to find out that they can make local remittances by means of stamps, although the fact has been publicly notified these three years.

7. It should be a warning hardly ever to abandon a scheme on account of merely theoretical difficulties, that some years since a money order system with the Straits was suggested, but after much correspondence the project was relinquished simply from an apprehension of trouble with Chinese The Such a difficulty has not even presented itself, but if it does it can very easily be met. Chinese, as might have been expected, generally prefer to arrange their remittances in their own way. A few, however, make use of the Post Office.

names.

8. Correspondence has been re-opened with the Australian Colonies with a view to the establish- ment of a money order system with them. Applications are not infrequently received for orders on Continental Countries, the United States, &c., and though it would certainly not be worth while to keep accounts with those countries for the sake of, perhaps, one order every three months exchanged with each, yet such applications are always refused with regret. If there were a sort of International clearing-house, say at Berne, and it were understood that each Post Office should keep accounts with that clearing-house, and with that only, it would then be not only possible, but also easy for every Union country to exchange Money Orders with every other Union country.

9. A very favourable Convention has been concluded with Queensland, and now awaits the approval of the Home Government. On its coming into force the postage upon letters for all parts of Australia when forwarded viâ Torres Straits will be lowered by one half.

10. Attention has been paid to the working of the Straits Settlements Post Office Savings Bank, but as that institution has been in a transition state during the year with regard to some points of management, sufficient experience has not yet been gained to decide for or against such an experiment

here.

11. It is almost impossible to predict whether any given Postal arrangement will be extensively availed of or not. Sometimes facilities which might be expected to be welcome to everybody are received by the public with absolute indifference and neglect, whilst at other times some trifling con- cession, about which nobody was supposed to care, is hailed with enthusiasm. Observation will how- ever generally detect the capse of these apparently anomalous results. The Pillar Boxes recently established in the town form a case in point. After much trouble taken about them, they must be, with regret, pronounced to be failures. If, however, they are failures in Hongkong, it may be some consolation to know that Pillar Boxes have not (it is believed) succeeded anywhere in the East.

12. When there was only one Box in Bonham Strand, and that was cleared but once a day, the collections averaged about 60 letters a week, almost all on mail day. With the removal of the box to the Harbour Department, and its clearance three times a day, the number of letters dwindled to less than half! The reason was that before the extension of mail hours (which took place about the same time) Chinese got half an hour longer at the Pillar Box free of late fee than they did at the Post Office. Directly this was altered the number of letters posted fell off, shewing that they prefer to bring their correspondence to the general office.

430

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH JULY, 1879.

13. In a period of more than six months only 1645 articles of all kinds (mostly letters) have been posted at the two Pillar Boxes, or an average of only four letters a day each.

This does not even pay the trifling wages of the Chinese postman who clears the boxes.* The disturbing cause here probably is that so few persons keep stamps at home. Chinese, it need hardly be said, scarcely ever do so, and they like to see their letters weighed at the Post Office. In England, almost all but the poorest and most uneducated classes keep a few stamps in the house; amongst the non-mercantile European com- munity here few seem to recognise that stamps can be bought at any other time than just when the mail is closing. Some allowance must be made for the risk of theft, which is considerable, but the chief reason for this is too probably the habit of putting off till to-morrow what might better be done to-day which more or less infects the East. On mail mornings there really ought to be nobody buying stamps at the Post Office but people from ships who could not get on shore before. This may sound Utopian, but its neglect merely leads to crowding, loss of temper, delay, and disappointment. Some persons even carry matters further, and seem to expect that the Post Office will not only provide stamps, but also put them on. Very great trouble is experienced, nearly every mail day, from notes being addres- sed to individuals in the Department, containing money, and asking that stamps may be put on the letters enclosed, that the change may be returned in stamps of particular values, or with a memorandum of how much change, &c., &c. This opportunity is taken of saying that such requests are invariably refused, simply because it is impossible to comply with them. The drop boxes of the Post Office are receptacles for stamped correspondence, the stamps having been bought beforehand, and if sufficient are not affixed the responsibility is the sender's.

14. The Local Parcel Post, commenced during the year, has been successful, but only to a mode- rate extent. It is understood that the Agents and Commanders of Coast steamers are still troubled with numbers of small parcels, of which they had rather be rid, and here again use and wont struggle hard for existence. There is not the same reason for neglecting the Post Office in the transmission of Coast parcels as may be urged in the case of letters. The Post Office cannot compete with private firms at the Ports in quickness of delivery. But whilst an hour may be of the greatest importance in the delivery of a letter, it can seldom matter much in the delivery of a parcel, indeed, against the slight delay imposed by a Postal transit, may be set its absolute safety from loss.

15. Efforts have been made to improve and develope the local delivery of correspondence, and there is no reason to doubt that, as the facilities afforded become more generally known, they will be more generally availed of. To make the local delivery of this Office perfect, however, it should be inde- pendent of any interruption from the arrivals of mails. This would necessitate at least four additional Postmen, for whom it would be impossible to find quarters without building, as the existing quarters are not only full, but are also crowded.

16. Attempts have been made to do a little more than has hitherto been done for the Chinese business community in Postal matters. Postage stamps are sold at the Stamp Office Agency in the native quarter, where letter scales also are kept, but it is found that Chinese prefer to weigh letters with the delicate li-tang used for silver. A list of the day's mails in Chinese is posted up at the Stamp Agency every morning, and a translation of the Table of Rates of postage has been circulated to the principal hongs. There can be little doubt that these efforts are appreciated. It is believed that Rates of Postage have not been put into Chinese before, the Table now in use is appended as a specimen.

17. Negotiations have been carried on during the year for the withdrawal of British Post Offices from Japan, and this Department is now holding itself in readiness to hand over the business at a short notice. No slight is intended to the gentlemen of H. M. Consular service who have lent their able assistance in carrying it on, in saying that it will be a great relief to relinquish Postal Administration in Japan. For one Country to carry on the Post Offices of another Country successfully demands. three conditions ;---that the Country administered shall not concern itself in any way in the matter; that it shall have no means of conveyance of its own; and that the administering Country shall have a practical monopoly of the service. Directly these conditions cease to obtain, complications and in- conveniences begin to creep in, and can only be remedied by the institution of an efficient National Post Office.

A

18. These remarks apply to some extent to the efforts made during the past year by the Chinese Customs Service to establish something like a Chinese Post Office. It has been supposed that such pro- ceedings would be viewed by this Department with great dislike and alarm. Such is not the case. thoroughly efficient Chinese Post Office would be a boon to everybody who is concerned in the matter, and Hongkong should be the last place to put obstacles in its way. It may be necessary to open new Agencies of this Office in Tientsin and Chefoo, but if such Agencies are opened it will be simply to render an existing service as efficient as possible, and certainly not to rival or suppress anything that others may have done or attempted. Whilst perfectly willing to undertake Postal duty, if necessary, either in China or Japan, the Hongkong Post Office is not anxious to discharge any functions but those strictly its own.

* Through the kind cooperation of the Heads of two other departments this postman never handles the letters. The Pillars are cleared by trust- worthy officers, and the correspondence placed in a locked box, which is not opened till it reaches this Office.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TM JULY, 1879.

19. The British Packets have been accelerated by two days on both the outward and homeward voyages. The day fixed for departure from Shanghai having been found inconvenient, however, the mail now leaves that port twenty-four hours earlier than was originally intended. One result of this accelerated service has been seriously to increase the expenses of this Colony in Marine Sorting. When that system was first established, the Marine Officers were sent down to Singapore free in the P. & 0. packets all the year round. Then it became impossible to continue this arrangement in the S. W. Monsoon, and the officers had to be sent down by private ship or by the French mail. Now this course will have to be adopted all the year round. But for the cooperation of the various steamer companies, who kindly grant passages for the officers on reduced terms, the marine service would have become too expensive to be carried on, in fact the question whether it has not already become so is under the con- sideration of the Government.

20. No year elapses without a disaster, that of 1878 happened on October 10th. For years past it has been the custom to enclose the supplementary parcel for London made up on each British Packet in a mail for Singapore, and it appears that during all this time the inner package has never been marked viâ Brindisi, it having been left to the Singapore Office to see that it went on by that route. On October 10th the amount of correspondence posted on board for London was too large to admit of this treatment, and a clerk from one of the Banks, knowing that the heavy letters he had to post on board would be too large for the usual brown paper package, thoughtfully called at this Office on his way to the steamer for a bag. The mail was made up in this bag, and forwarded outside the Singapore mail. The despatching officer, who appears to have taken no further interest in his duties than to desire to have them over as quickly as possible, omitted to mark this bag riâ Brindisi, and it reached England viâ Southampton. The consequences were very serious, as it was an unusually heavy mail, consisting entirely of Bank or other important letters. Measures have been taken to have the supplementary mail closed on a better system altogether, and, as far as practicable, to render such carelessness impossible.

21. The department is no longer able to give detailed statistical information respecting the circu- lation of correspondence. One great aim of the Postal Union has been to get rid of accounts, and of the counting or weighing of letters, &c. This alone it is which allows of the extended hours for post- ing mentioned in paragraph 1. Many Post Offices, it is true, do still publish elaborate tables of statis- ties, but these are compiled from observations taken at stated periods, and can only be regarded as ap- proximately correct. It may be doubteil, moreover, whether these expensive tables are read by any- body but the proof correctors, or serve any useful purpose whatever. Such tabular information as this Office is able to give will be found appended.

23. The quickest passages home have been made by the Messageries Packets. The mail once reached London viâ Marseilles in 34 days (Anadyr ) and five times in 35 days. The shortest passage by P. & O. packet has been 37 days (three times).

24. On the other hand the P. & O. packets have made the quickest passages out, having delivered the mails seven times within 36 days. The Messageries packets have four times delivered the London mail within 37 days.

25. With regard to revenue the Colony has every reason to be satisfied. Bearing in mind that during three months of 1877 Postage was collected at the old rates, double those in force during last year, some diminution of receipts would of course be expected in 1878. Moreover out of the receipts for 1878 a contribution of £3.150 has for the first time been remitted to the London Post Office. -After paying all claims presented to date, the balance left to the credit of the Colony is upwards of $27,000. One heavy claim for 1877 still remains to be paid, viz., to the London Office for conveyance of Continental and other Union correspondence by British Packets, but with that exception the accounts for 1877 have been closed, within the last few weeks only.

26. The Revenue of the two years 1878 and 1877 may be compared as follows:-

28. With regard to the delays which have arisen in settling the Union accounts, it may perhaps be permissible to append an extract from a Report already submitted to the Government Despatch of Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, August 23rd, 1878).

"The Colonies were thrown into the intricacies of the Postal Union too suddenly for so complicated a system to work smoothly all at once. "The Metropolitan Offices in Europe were too busy to give detailed instructions on points on which they themselves had had but little experience "The French Post Office Agents, generally au fait in every possible detail, could give no information, and only expressed their own bewilderment. "The first Statistical period may be compared to a review of raw recruits, no one of whom has any idea what he is expected to do."

*

*

*

*

*

D

"The second statistical Period (the results of the first having been cancelled) was a little better, but not much. "The necessary forms were mostly filled up and forwarded, but too many of the Offices to which they were sent neglected to verify and retur "them. The most anxious care was exercised in this Office to prevent omissions, and yet some few omissions occurred. Points absolutely unpro "vided for in the Treaty had to be settled as they arose, and objections have been taken to the ways in which they were settled. Some of the accounts furnished by this Office, to the best of its information and ability, though correct as regards figures, were in a form which other Offices "would not accept. It would have been very simple for those Offices, being in possession of the results, to put them on paper ruled and headed in 'any way that might be desired (for that was all the question at issue), but only within the last few weeks an application has been received to "remodel and reforward them, and it is presumed the accounts must wait till they are received.”

"It may be asked then, how long is this state of uncertainty and confusion to continue? It is hoped not much longer. The Convention of The various Post Offices are of course 'Paris simplifies the taking of Statistics just in the details which have been found all but unworkable. "learning the new course of duty more and more every day.

It is believed that within a rear the whole system, as "regards Hongkong, will be susceptible of the clearest financial treatment, as much as if the Postal Income and Expenditure of the Colony

were practically fixed."

Postmaster General,

* Including a special contribution of £3,150=$16,214.47.

In previous years these payments have been made to London on behalf of the Countries concerned. This sum is really a charge against 1877. Within the last few days only an application has been received from the London Office for statistics of transit between this Colony and Seychelles, for which the accounts for 1877 were waiting. No mails have been exchanged with Seychelles for some years, hence of course no such statistics had been supplied.

No. 163.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH JULY, 1879.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Notices to Mariners are published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th July, 1879.

Government of Queensland.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

SHIP CHANNEL, MORETON BAY.

In furtherance of a Notice to Mariners published on the 3rd instant, reporting changes in the Ship Channel, the following information is now given :—

The preson: position of buoy is W. by S. 3 S. 4 cables from that given on the chart of Moreton Bay 1670a. N. E. cables from the present position of the buoy, on a ridge running E.S.E. and W.N.W. and extending west- north-westerly across the Channel, there is not more than 16 feet at low water springs.

Also E. 4 5. 5 cables from the buoy on another ridge lying south-easterly and north-westerly there is only 15 feet at low water.

Between B buoy and the shoal edge of the East banks there is not more than 18 feet at low water.

Vessels entering by this Channel, must now keep the northern edge of the East banks on board and pass to the northwards of B buoy at a distance not exceeding a cable. By following this course a vessel may carry 20 feet at low water, but from the radical changes now going on, these directions cannot be depended upon for any time. alterations will be duly notified.

Any further

B buoy, when re-laid about two mouths since, was in 4 fathoms; at this spot, there is now only 19 feet at low water.

G. P. HEATH, Commander, R. N., Portmaster.

Department of Ports and Harbours, Brisbane, 19th May, 1879.

NOTICES TO MARINERS.

MIDDLE AND NORTH, OR HOWE CHANNELS, MORETON BAY.

Not more than 16 feet at low water springs can at present be depended upon in the Middle Channel.

The North Channel is now the best entrance to the Port, the depth not being less than 19 feet at low water springs.

ONE FATHOM CORAL PATCH, TRINITY BAY.

Captain Webber, of the s.s. Egmont, reports having touched on a Coral Patch with about one fathom of water on it at low water springs, lying in the following position :—

Low Island Lighthouse, N. W.

Island Point

N.W. by W. W.

A depth of 7 fathoms was found close alongside the shoal.

G. P. HEATH, Commander, R. N.,

Portmaster.

Department of Ports and Harbours, Brisbane, 20th May, 1879.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

LEADING LIGHTS, FITZROY RIVER.

On and after this date, four fixed white and two fixed red lights will be exhibited from the south shore of the Fitzroy River, giving leading lines through four reaches of the channel, viz. :-The reach below, the two reaches above, and that known as Brown's Crossing. A red light is in every case the nearer of the two leading lights, while each red light answers for two contiguous reaches of the channel.

On going up the river the first pair of lights leading to No. 10 mark will be seen when nearing No. 9 crossing mark, above Central Island. Carrying these lights in line towards No. 10 mark, and passing on to No. 11, another white light will be brought into line with the same red light as that used in the previous reach,-leading clear of the black buoy at Brown's Crossing. When approaching Brown's Island, the next red and white lights will become visible, and will show the crossing to No. 14 mark; and when sufficiently far up the river, the second red light, in line with the fourth white light, will lead up to No. 16 crossing mark.

G. P. HEATH, Commander, R.N.,

Department of Ports and Harbours, Brisbane, 2nd June, 1879.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather arre, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk. The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer with high Thermoneter, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and liscoloration of the clouds. Should these syuup- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- rion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

4. Of the 3,057 vessels above mentioned, 2,169 with a tonnage of 1,923,263 tons, or 70.95 per cent. of vessels and 74.23 per cent. of tonnage, were British; the remaining 29.05 per cent. of vessels and 25.77 per cent. of tons are divided among the other Nationalities in the following proportions Germany, 367 vessels with a tonnage of 209,204 tons, or 12.01 per cent. of vessels and 8.07 per cent. of tons; France, 146 vessels with a tonnage of 177,156 tons, or 4.77 per cent. of vessels and 6.83 per cent. of tons; America, 107 vessels with a tonnage of 115,218 tons, or 3.50 per cent of vessels and 4.45 per cent. of tons; China, 76 vessels with a tonnage of 63,742 tons, or 2.49 per cent. of vessels and 2.46 per cent. of tons; Spain, 76 vessels with a tonnage of 29,290 tons, or 2.49 per cent. of vessels and 1.13 per cent of tons; Siam, 44 vessels with a tonnage of 22,829 tons, or 1.44 per cent. of vessels and 0.89 per cent. of tons; Denmark, 25 vessels with a tonnage of 15,616 tons, or 0.82 per cent. of vessels and 0.60 per cent. of tons; and Holland, 19 vessels with a tonnage of 15,965 tons, or 0.62 per cent. of vessels and 0.61 per cent. of tons.

468

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH AUGUST, 1879.

The remaining 28 vessels representing 18,889 tons, or 0.91 per cent. of vessels and 0.73 per cent. of tons, are composed of 7 Italian with a tonnage of 4,827 tons; 7 Norwegian with a tonnage of 4,519 tons; 5 Swedish with a tonnage of 2,007 tons; 3 Portuguese with a tonnage of 1,664 tons; 2 Austrian with a tonnage of 2,303 tons; and one each of Belgian, Burmese, Nicaraguan and Russian with an aggregate tonnage of 3,569 tons; the Belgian vessel which represents 2,297 of the 3,569 tons is the "Perusia," really a British vessel, for a time under the Belgian flag.

5. The Steam trade of the Colony is represented by 2,326 vessels with a tonnage of 2,136,832 tons; the Sailing vessels, exclusive of junks, number 731 with a tonnage of 454,340 tons. Of the 2,326 Steam vessels, 1,922 with a tonnage of 1,715,895 tons, or 82.63 per cent. of vessels and 80.30 per cent. of tonnage, were British; the balance of the Steam trade being made up by the different Nationalities in the following proportions:-Germany, 148 vessels with a tonnage of 123,078 tons, or 6.36 per cent. of vessels and 5.75 per cent. of tons; France, 78 vessels with a tonnage of 149,891 tons, or 3.35 per cent. of vessels and 7.02 per cent. of tons; China, 76 vessels with a tonnage of 63,742 tons, or 3.27 per cent. of vessels and 2.98 per cent. of tons; Spain, 59 vessels with a tonnage of 24,040 tons, or 2.54 per cent. of vessels and 1.12 per cent. of tons; Denmark, 17 vessels with a tonnage of 12,904 tons, or 0.73 per cent. of vessels and 0.61 per cent. of tons; America, 12 vessels with a tonnage of 32,219 tons, or 0.52 per cent. of vessels and 1.51 per cent. of tons.

6. Seven hundred and thirty-one Sailing vessels, exclusive of junks, measuring 454,340 tons, entered at this Office during 1878; this is a decrease of 29 vessels and 9,292 tons on the previous year. Of the 731 vessels, 247 with a tonnage of 207,368 tons, or 33.79 per cent. of vessels and 45.64 cent. of tons, were British.

per

7. The grand total of arrivals in the Colony including junks, but exclusive of Local Trade, is 28,779 vessels of 4,352,668 tons; this is a decrease of 590 in the number of vessels, but an increase in the tonnage by 108,125 tons.

The Summary (Return XV) shows that 66,820 vessels, measuring 8,982,593 tons, have entered and cleared at this Office during 1878; this is a decrease on 1877 of 1,131 vessels, but an increase in tonnage of 388,245 tons.

8. The trade between this port and the Colonies of Australia and New Zealand shows a decrease on 1877 of 9 British vessels and of 8,443 tons, and a decrease of 5 Foreign vessels with an increase of 161 tons.

9. The trade with Great Britain shows a decrease in British bottoms of 17 vessels and 6,524 tons, and in Foreign bottoms of 3 vessels and 2,352 tons.

10. This year the trade between Hongkong and Cochin-China has been divided under two heads; namely, between Hongkong and Cochin China, which means Saigon, Turon, Quinhon, &c., and between Hongkong and Ports in Hainan and the Gulf of Tonquin, as this is the first year this trade has been so divided it is difficult to tell whether there has been an increase or decrease under the separate heads, but taken collectively there has been, as compared with the year 1877, an increase of 10 vessels and 9,801 tons.

11. There has been a considerable increase in the trade between this port and India and Singapore as well as with Japan. The increase with Japan is represented by 49 vessels and 52,739 tons, and between this port and India and Singapore by 18 vessels and 6,009 tons.

JUNK TRADE.

12. During 1878 this trade has decreased in Arrivals and Departures by 1,561 vessels and 69,296, tons there has also been a decrease of 8,304 in the number of the crews as well as 14,368 in the number of passengers carried; this is inclusive of the Local Trade.

13. The principal decrease is between Hongkong and the Coast of China and Formosa, which amounts to 1,165 vessels and 58,512 tons, the decrease in the numbers of crews and passengers is 6,656 and 9,641 respectively.

14. The Local Trade has also decreased in the numbers of vessels and passengers, but the tonnage has increased by 4,685 tons and the crews by 2,441.

EMIGRATION.

15. The number of Chinese Emigrants leaving this port during the year 1878 was 38,653 as compared with 39,741 during 1877, showing a decrease of 1.088.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 6TH AUGUST, 1879.

469

16. The number despatched to Cooktown during 1878 amounted to 51; this is a decrease on 1877 of 6,014, caused presumably by the Poll tax of £10 imposed on every Chinese landing there. There is an increase however of 1,715 on the number embarked for Port Darwin. I understand that many of these find their way to other parts of the country overland and thus evade the tax.

17. The number of Emigrants proceeding to San Francisco shows a decrease of 3,222; this was to be expected in consequence of the opposition shewn by the State of California.

18. To make up for the decrease in the number of Emigrants proceeding to Cooktown and San Francisco, the Straits Settlements have taken 5,601, Sydney 1,367, Melbourne 285, and Dunedin 224 more than in 1877.

19. Emigration was again opened during 1878 to British Guiana. The British barque Dartmouth left on the 23rd of December taking 506 passengers; this number included 47 women and 23 children.

20. The total number of passengers returning to the Colony amounted during 1878 to 47,882; this is in excess of the number leaving by 9,229; the number returning from the Straits Settlements alone amounted to 29,775, which was in excess of those going there by 9,145.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

21. Five vessels have been registered at this port during 1878; four were vessels built here, the fifth was transferred from Halifax, N.S. The Registers of seven vessels were, for various reasons, cancelled during the same period.

The amount of Fees collected under this heading was $372.00.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

22. One hundred and ninety-nine Cases were tried at this Court, two only were of a serious nature, namely, those of two junks which left the Harbour without a Clearance, and were forfeited to the Crown.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS AND MATES

UNDER ORDINANCE No. 17 OF 1860.

23. There were 46 applicants, of whom 29 obtained Certificates of Competency, and 17 failed.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER ORDINANCE No. 11 OF 1860.

24. The following Courts have been held during the year:-

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court during the Criminal Sessions which commenced on the 18th day of July, 1879.

Tung A-ts'oi, aged 20 years, of Héung-shan, farmer, and Ch'an A-kin aged 13 years, of San-úi, were found guilty of having received certain goods knowing them to have been stolen. Tung A-ts'oi was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour and to be kept in solitary con- finement for periods of fourteen days at a time the whole not to exceed two months in one year. Ch'an A-kin, was sentenced to two years' impri- sonment with hard labour and to be kept in solitary confinement for periods of seven days at a time the whole not to exceed one month in each year. As to the second prisoner some mo- dification of his punishment is under considera- tion on account of his youth.

Tang Ying-sau, aged 26 years, of San-on, hawker, and Ch'an A-pong, aged 27 years, of Tung-kún, boatman, were found guilty of pirati- cally attacking and seizing a junk called the “Kam Ü-hing” while on the high seas off the Island of Shá-mún and stealing therefrom money to the amount of $187, seventeen anchors, three muskets, and other miscellaneous articles. The prisoners were each sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

Fung A-yau, aged 32 years, of Hongkong, boatman, was found guilty of neglecting to pro- vide his infant child with the necessaries of life. The prisoner set up as his defence that his wife was unfaithful to him and that the child was not his. The Chief Justice. told the prisoner that it was he who had been unfaithful, and that the charge he had made against his wife and which he had failed to prove and which the Chief Justice thought to be false, aggravated his offence very much, and he sentenced him to two years' imprisonment with hard labour and to pay a fine of $50 to the Queen and to be further imprisoned until such fine is paid for a term not exceeding one year. The prisoner's mother, a woman named Kwang A-múi, was called for the defence and she swore that she had not been present at the ceremony of the naming of the child, although the evidence for the prosecution shewed that she had been there. At the conclusion of the case the Chief Justice directed this woman to be indicted for perjury. The charge of perjury against this woman will be tried at the next Criminal Sessions.

Cheng Pik-shán, of Héung-shan, Rent Collect- or, aged 50 years, was convicted of applying to his own use $2.333 which he had received for and ought to have paid over to his master Páng-yun. It is just the same as if he took the money out of his master's safe. He was sen- tenced to three years' penal servitude.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Notice respecting Typhoons is published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong, 16th June, 1879.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the atten- tion of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June last.

The net profits for that period, including $29,525.50 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, making provision for bad and doubtful accounts, and for difference in Exchange be- tween the rate at which the Dividend is declared and the current rate of the day, amount to $306,733.58, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $292,597.94.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One pound Sterling per Share, which will absorb $177,777.77.

The Directors recommend placing $100,000 to the credit of Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $1,400,000, and carrying forward the balance, viz., $14,820.17 to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

The Directors congratulate the Shareholders on being able to place before them such a satis- factory Statement of the Bank's affairs.

2. Those resolutions fairly represent the views

of an influential section of the European residents

of Hongkong, including two out of the four non-

Official Members of Council. They were pro-

posed and seconded by highly respectable_gen- tlemen. But the larger proportion of the Euro- pean Community, including (with the exception, I am told, of one individual) the whole of the Portuguese, took no part in the meeting, and I understand disapprove of the resolutions. The Chinese inhabitants, who had been invited by the promoters to attend, did so and far outnumbered the others. Owing to the fact that the Chairman did not think proper to have the resolutions translated to them, the Chinese protested against the proceedings and went away quietly, leaving the minority in possession of the meeting. They Messrs. Ta'oi Tsán and subsequently applied to me for the ing Colonial Secretary, usual authority to hold a public meeting to consider and discuss those resolu- Acting Colonial Secretary tions, but I asked them to recon- and Mok Sze-yeung, 11th sider the idea, on the ground that I deprecated agitation, and that, in a Colony like this I was not at all certain that public meetings were the most prudent and efficient means by which the inhabitants could bring their

sentiments to the knowledge of the Government. I believe they will take my advice, and will be satisfied with giving to me in writing whatever they desire the Government to know.

3. As to the specific allegations set forth in the resolutions, they may be fairly summed up as follows: That for the past year and a half (a period during which I am responsible for the

Government of the Colony), the criminal classes have been unusually active, and a feeling of in- security as regards life and property created, owing to undue leniency on my part, especially as regards the suspension of public flogging, the substitution of the rattan on the breech in lieu of the Cat-of-nine-tails on the back of Chinese Cri- minals, and a somewhat more cautious use of deportation. Finally, that all this calls for a Commission of Enquiry, which might also inves- tigate the relations between the Governor and the Officials in every department. The speeches in support of the resolutions are not inaccurately summarized in the following words of Mr. A. P. MACEWEN, who moved that the resolutions be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colo- nies

"Let the Magistrates, instead of inflicting paltry fines of 10 cents or short terms

“ of imprisonment, have the power to in- "flict summary chastisement on all rogues “ and vagabonds. Let them be taken "from the Magistracy and publicly flog- ‘ged at the whipping-post. I see the in- "crease of crime in the Colony is put

"down to the cheap rate of fares now “ existing between Canton and this port. “ In my opinion the famine in the Kwang- "tung Province has also had a good deal

“ to do with it. You may rest assured

“ that if a Chinaman, bent on depredations

“in this Colony, knew that if caught he

"would receive a lash for every cent he

paid for his passage-money, he would

"confine his thieving propensities to his

own country. By public flogging, crime

"would rapidly decrease, and the hordes

"of thieves at present hiding here would “ quickly disperse.”

4. That there has been an increase of crime.

for some time past cannot be denied, but it can hardly be attributed to me, for it commenced

before I arrived.* To-day, there are 512 prisoners

in the Hongkong Gaol. On the 16th of October,

1876, there were 545. That there has been in this Colony an increase in crimes of violence

since the beginning of the year 1875, is noticed by the Acting Chief Justice in his report on Public Flogging, dated 3rd of August, 1878,

which was enclosed in my Despatch No. 95 of the 28th September, 1878. Six months before

my arrival, Governor Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY warned Lord CARNARVON that the criminal re- turns of 1876 would “indicate a serious increase of crime." He attributed this "apparent out- break among the population of Hongkong" to the influx of predatory classes from Canton, owing to cheap fares in the river steamers.

Those cheap fares have continued ever since, but I am disposed to agree with the gentleman I have just quoted, Mr. MACEWEN, that the increase of crime is not to be accounted for by the cheap fares alone. Mr. MACEWEN seems to think that the severe

distress which exists in the neighbouring province

of China has a good deal to do with it.

5. To those two causes it might be fair to add some others, such as the natural increase of the population, defects in the Hongkong prison system, by which the system was neither suffici- ently severe to act as a deterrent, nor based on any good mode of dealing with old offenders, and

sibly the fact that the police beats have not been changed since 1874, and have been ever since then inadequately filled, as the Captain Superin- tendent now admits.

6. The imputation of undue leniency is not supported by the following facts :-

I have considerably reduced the Prison dietary scale that had been framed by the Gaol Commis- sion and approved by my predecessor.

Instead of Criminals convicted of a third or fourth felony receiving perhaps three months' imprisonment only, they now receive three years' penal servitude, in consequence of a suggestion I made last year to the Police Magistrates that incorrigible old offenders might be committed to the Supreme Court, where a severe sentence could be inflicted.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879.

The number of prisoners liberated before ser-

ving two-thirds of their sentences, under my ad- ministration. is less than half the number libera- ted in the corresponding period before my arrival; and of the smaller number so liberated by me,

majority were in connexion with the entirely ex- ceptional case of the Yesso calamity, every other case being one in which the liberation was owing to the strong recommendation of the Judge, or where the Medical Officer urged it, on the ground that the death of the prisoner was impending.

7. I may here remark that, when I reported to Lord CARNARVON my intention of having old offenders sent to the Supreme Court, so as to receive, if the Chief Justice thought fit, a really severe sentence, I anticipated that for some time. the effect would be to increase the number of pri- soners in Gaol. No doubt this has been one of the results, but nevertheless it is satisfactory to see that the number in Gaol at present is not greater than at the same date in 1876.

8. As to the suspension of sentences of public flogging, my Despatch No. 95 of the 28th ultimo will have put you in possession of the steps I took on the receipt of Lord CARNARVON'S Des- patch of the 3rd of January last, and of the views on the subject of the various Officials entrusted with the administration of the Criminal Law. The Acting Chief Justice, the Senior Police Ma- gistrate, and the other Officials concerned, agree in saying that the cessation of public flogging in no degree increased crime. The Members of my Executive Council take the same view, and una- nimously recommend the entire abolition of public flogging.

9. The Public Meeting did not approve of the action I took when I had before me the professional opinion of the Medical Officer of the Prison as to the injurious effect on the health of Chinese Cri- minals of flogging them on the back. Clause XIII of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863, however, says:-

"No corporal punishment shall be inflicted with- "out the written certificate of the Medical Officer "that the prisoner can receive the punishment “without injury to his health." The Medical Officer from time to time certified that floggings might take place with a rattan on the breech, but not with a cat on the back, in the case of Orien-

tals. The Criminals so sentenced have been flog-

the

ged in accordance with his certificates. I am sorry to say that in the last eighteen months I have sanctioned over fifty floggings. But I have not violated the Law by allowing Chinese to be flogged in such a way as could not be certified by the Medical Officer. The enclosed return shows the number of Criminals flogged from the date of my arrival till July last. It was published in the Hongkong papers on the 2nd and 3rd of September.

10. The proposal that a Medical Commission

should enquire into the matter was made at the Meeting, but it was well known that I had many

months ago appointed such a Commission. Since

the Meeting, the Commission has reported, and when the Colonial Surgeon has made his obser-

vations on the report I shall have the honour of laying it before you.

It will then be seen that

no undue leniency has been shown to Criminals sentenced to be flogged.

11. As to deportation, I have simply carried out the actual Law of the Colony, and have done so in strict accordance with the views expressed in Lord CARNARVON'S Despatch No. 51, of May, 1877. On this subject I will do myself the honour of addressing you in a separate Despatch.

12. Such being the facts with respect to my alleged undue leniency, the suspension of public floggings, the flogging of Chinese on the breech instead of the back, and the use of deportation only when unavoidable, I cannot see that the Meeting made out any case for a Commission of Enquiry into the administration of the Colony.

540 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879.

Resolutions proposed and carried at a Public

Meeting held at Victoria, Hongkong, on Mon-

day, the 7th day of October, 1878.

1st Resolution.

Proposed by Honourable W. KESWICK.

Seconded by W. REINERS, Esq.

That during the past eighteen months life and

property in this Colony have been seriously jeopardized, and a feeling of insecurity, the result of recent events, has been engendered, which in

the opinion of this meeting have been mainly

caused by a policy of undue leniency towards the

eriminal classes.

2nd Resolution.

Proposed by W. H. FORBES, Esq.

Seconded by G. SHARP, Esq.

That in the opinion of this meeting there is no necessity for any change in the laws and Police Regulations of the Colony, but that the remedy for the existing state of affairs is in a firm and unfettered administration of the laws as they stand, especially those relating to the punishments for crimes with violence. That flogging in public has been found to be the only really deterring punishment for the class of criminals frequenting the Colony, and to its suspension, and the sus- pension of other necessarily stern modes of treat- ment, enforced during previous governments, is attributable the daring boldness which has lately characterized crime in Hongkong.

3rd Resolution.

Proposed by D. RUTTUNJEE, Esq. Seconded by W. S. YOUNG, Esq.

This meeting views with great apprehension the opinion of the Colonial Surgeon with regard to the effect of the use of the “Cat-o’-nine-tails on the back of criminals, and the action of His

Excellency the Governor in respect thereto, and

proposes that a Commission of Medical men be appointed to inquire into the matter.

4th Resolution.

Proposed by H. H. NELSON, Esq. Seconded by A. McCLYMONT, Esq.

That in the opinion of this meeting the almost total abolition of the system of deporting habi- tual criminals, which in most cases means simply returning the deported to the place from which they came to violate the laws of the Colony, is injudicious, and will result in Gaol accommoda- tion having to be provided for an undue propor- tion of the criminal population of the South of China, at an expense the Colony should not be called upon to bear.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879.

5th Resolution.

Proposed by Honourable H. LowCOCK.

Seconded by N. I. EDE, Esq.

That this meeting is strongly of opinion that it is desirable that Her Majesty's Government should appoint a Commission from England, or from some Colony other than Hongkong, with full powers to inquire into the present adminis- tration of the Government of this Colony; espe- cially as regards the application of the criminal

laws, the carrying out of the sentences of the Courts, and the relations existing between the

head of the Government and the other officials in every department.

6th Resolution.

Proposed by A. P. McEwen, Esq. Seconded by D. C. BOTTOMLEY, Esq.

That the Chairman of this meeting do forward these Resolutions to the Honourable the Colonial Secretary requesting that His Excellency the Governor will forward a copy of the same to The Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies by the first opportunity.

ance with Section 22 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1858. for a written licence under the hand of His Excellency the Governor to be issued to us, for the purpose of holding a Public Meeting of the Chinese residents of this Colony at the Tung-hing Theatre, on Sunday, the 13th instant, at noon, to consider and discuss the resolutions passed at the meeting held last Mon- day, and other matters, and to pass such resolu- tions as may be deemed advisable.

To

Messrs. Ts'oi Tsán and Mok Sze-yéung.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, 11th October, 1878.

GENTLEMEN,-I am directed by His Excellency Governor HENNESSY to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, asking for the usual licence to hold a Public Meeting of the Chinese residents of Hongkong, to consider and discuss the resolutions passed at a meeting held on Monday last.

2. His Excellency commands me to say that, in common with his predecessors, he has entire confidence in the loyalty and good sense of the Chinese community of Hongkong, whom you represent, but at the same time His Excellency would invite you and your friends to re-consider the idea of holding a Public Meeting to discuss the resolutions to which you refer.

3. The Governor is at all times most happy to receive, either by deputations or addresses, or in any other way most convenient, the inhabitants of this Colony, whether European or Chinese. His Excellency is accessible to all classes, and is ready to hear whatever is to be said on anything that can promote the prosperity and good government of Hongkong.

4. On the other hand, the Governor entertains some doubts as to whether Public Meetings are really the most prudent and efficient means by which the wishes and sentiments of the inhabi- tants of a Colony like this should be expressed.

5. Of course the Governor would not deny to one class of Her Majesty's subjects the pri- vilege freely accorded to another, and if the Chinese thought it essential to their interests to have a Public Meeting, His Excellency would not refuse his licence. But for the reasons given, and as he deprecates anything like agita- tion,-His Excellency trusts, you and your friends will be satisfied with bringing your views to the notice of the Government in the form of writing or by deputation.

I have the honour to be,

Gentlemen,

Your most obedient Servant,

Messrs. Ts'or TSÁN and

MOK SZE-YEUNG.

Victoria Gaol Office, Hongkong, 9th August, 1878.

NOTE. Of the twenty-five prisoners sentenced to be flogged by the Police Magistrate, the Governor allowed the floggings in twenty-four cases. The only case in which he interfered was that of Ip Ayow, a little boy who stole a clock

544

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879.

at the Reformatory and was told he would be flogged if he did not confess the theft, whereupon he confessed the theft and was sentenced to be flogged. The Governor declined to allow that part of the sentence to be carried out.

Of the five prisoners sentenced to be publicly flogged with the cat on the back by Sir JOHN SMALE, the Governor allowed the first two to be so flogged, but on discovering the extent of the physical injury that had been inflicted, and on getting a report from the Colonial Surgeon against flogging Chinese on the back, he asked Sir JOHN SMALE to pass in future Sentences of flogging in such a form as the Colonial Surgeon could certify might be carried out, that is, with a rattan on the breech. Sir JOHN declined to do this. Thereupon, Mr. HENNESSY referred the next case to the Attorney General, to advise whether he could alter the sentence to meet the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, but the Attorney General said the Governor could not alter either the place (the back) or the instrument (the cat) specified by Sir JOHN SMALE, and that he could only exercise his prerogative of remitting the flogging in toto: and as no flogging can take place without the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, and as the Governor agreed with the Colonial Surgeon, the floggings on three of those sentenced by Sir JOHN SMALE had to be remitted.

The three prisoners sentenced to be flogged by the Acting Chief Justice, Mr. SNOWDEN, were duly flogged. In one of these cases a delay of some days occurred owing to the absence of the Colonial Surgeon's certificate when the papers were laid before the Governor, and this was explained by the fact that Mr. SNOWDEN had forgotten to specify that the flogging was to be with a rattan on the breech. On the papers being returned to him, he explained that it was by an oversight this was omitted, and thereupon the Colonial Surgeon appended his certificate, and the Governor allowed the flogging,

Of the twenty-four flogging sentences passed by the Superintendent or Visiting Justices of the Gaol, Mr. HENNESSY allowed twenty-two to be carried out. One case he referred back to the Visiting Justices for their reconsideration, when they themselves withdrew the sentence of flogging on the ground that the prisoner had been ordered to do shot-drill when on penal diet, which was a breach of rule and of the instructions from Her Majesty's Government; and one other case he investigated himself with the Visiting Justices and the Colonial Surgeon, when it was discovered that one of the arms of a prisoner who had objected to crank-labour was quite withered from an old wound, the elbow joint and one finger permanently fixed, and that he had been just subjected to punishments in prison which the Attorney General reported were not lawful. In this case the prisoner was ordered to do another kind of hard labour, such as the Colonial Surgeon could certify he was physically capable of doing, and, as he obeyed this order, the flogging was remitted.

The increase during the year 1877-78, coupled (as it appears from the evidence to have been with a simultaneous advance by the criminal classes in audacity, combination, and the habit of carrying arms, may not unnaturally have caused a feeling of alarm to the residents in the Colony, especially after the occurrence of so daring an outrage as the attack in Wing-Lok Street.

I do not, however, consider it necessary to send out a special Commission as requested in the 5th Resolution of that Meeting.

I feel assured that any cause for fear may and will be removed by the action of the Local

(Government.

I request you to transmit a copy of this Des- patch to the Chairman of the Public Meeting.

I have the honour to be.

Sir.

Your most obedient humble Servant,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG, 29th April, 1879.

SIR.I have the honour to lay before you, at

-I the request of Mr. KESWICK, an unofficial member

of the Legislative Council, copies of some corres-

pondence which he and four other Justices of the Peace have had with the Senior Acting Police Magistrate. Mr. C. V. CREAGH, and the late Neting Colonial Secretary, Mr. MAY.

2. Mr. KESWICK, and the four gentlemen who are associated with him in this matter. desired to hold a meeting of the Visiting Justices of the Gaol, under the provisions of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863. They also wanted Mr. CREAGH to preside. Mr. CREAGH declined, after having obtained through the Executive the Attorney General's opinion. Mr. KESWICK and the four others then demanded a copy of the opinion given by the Attorney General.

3. As I should not like to establish the incon-

venient precedent of producing copies of the

Attorney General's opinion given to the Executive

for the guidance of an Executive Officer, I caused

Mr. KESWICK and his friends to be told that, whilst I would not give them copies of the opinion they wanted to see, I would be glad to invite the Attorney General to express his opinion

on any question of law respecting their functions as Justices of the Peace or as Visiting Justices of the Gaol that they might wish, and that there would be no difficulty in giving them a copy of such opinion.

4. As to their desire to hold a meeting, they were told that "The Governor will be happy to "authorize and facilitate a general meeting of the Visiting Justices on any day in the ensuing week most convenient to you, subject of course ∴ to the provisions of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863." (Acting Colonial Secretary's letter, 23rd De- cember, 1878.)

5. They took no steps however to hold the meeting. As the majority of the Visiting Justices

do not approve of their action in this matter, it is not surprising that they abandoned the idea of a meeting.

6. They now confine themselves to requesting that you may ascertain the views of the Law Officers of the Crown on the Attorney General's opinion, and authorize such alteration in the law of Hongkong as would place Justices of the Peace

here more in the position of Justices of the Peace

in the United Kingdom.

7. I have the honour to enclose copies of the

various minutes, including the two opinions given

by the Attorney General.

I have the honour to be.

The Attorney General, to whom I have referred the matter, is of opinion that we have no power by virtue of Office to discuss the question of enlarging the building. Consequently I should

not be justified in calling a meeting of the Jus- tices for that purpose.

HONGKONG, 16th November, 1878.

SIR, We have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 11th instant, and we

regret the answer it conveys to our application to you to call a Meeting of the Justices of the Peace.

You give, as a reason for not complying with our request, your opinion that the present Gaol

Regulations answer in every way the purpose for

which they were intended.

We submit that your own opinion, valuable as we admit it to be, of the efficiency of the Gaol rules is not sufficient reason for your declining a Meeting of the Justices when* invited to do so, and we request a reconsideration of your decision.

We desire to point out that by Section 10 of Ordinance No. 4 of 1864, under which we wish to act, it is laid down that at Meetings of Jus- tices of the Peace one of the Justices Juust be a Police Magistrate, and that it is hardly to be supposed that in framing this section there was an intention to give the Magistrate a right to render nugatory the opinions of the body of Jus- rices by a capricions refusal to summon or attend their meetings.

HONGKONG, 28th November, 1878.

GENTLEMEN, ---I have the honour to acknow-

ledge the receipt of your letter of 16th instant,

and regret that. in consequence of the indisposi-

tion of the Attorney General, I was unable to reply to it before.

It

Before replying to your letter of the 9th instant. I had carefully read the Ordinance to which you refer (obviously 4 of 1863, not 4 of 1864, as quoted) and I understood Section X to empower a Police Magistrate and other Justices of the Peace to meet and revise the Gaol regulations should they consider it expedient to do so. The responsibility of holding such meeting without sufficient necessity appeared to me to rest with the Police Magistrate, without whose concurrence its proceedings could have no legal effect. was therefore with surprise that I learned from the third paragraph of your last letter that you considered my opinion as to the efficiency of the Gaol Regulations was not sufficient reason for my declining to hold a meeting for their revision. I have, however, out of deference to your opinion. forwarded the whole correspondence to the Attorney General. His memo. reached me to- lay; it contains the following reply to my query. The Ordinance contains no provision requiring "a Police Magistrate to summon and attend such meeting at the request of two or more Justices of the Peace."

I regret that, in view of this opinion. I must, for the reasons already given, decline to summon and attend the proposed inceting.

I have the honour to be.

HONGKONG, 23rd December, 1878.

SIR-I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of the letter of the 16th instant, signed by you and four other Justices of the Peace, enclosing, for the informa- tion of His Excellency, a copy of the correspon- dence arising out of the application you and the four gentlemen in question made, on the 2nd November, to Mr. CREAGH, the Acting Police Magistrate, “ to convene and preside at a special meeting of the Justices, to discuss various "matters connected with the Gaol, especially the

question of its projected enlargement,

an

application the Police Magistrate refused, as it was not according to law. Having subsequently modified your application by confining it to that which the Ordinance would permit, the Police Magistrate appears, after having obtained the opinion of the Attorney General on the question of law, to have exercised his discretion and de- clined to participate in the meeting you wanted to hold, whereupon you now, for the first time, address the Government and apply to His Excellency the Governor for copies of " the full memoranda of the Attorney General on the subject," on the ground that you deem it of very great importance that the Justices, if they : legally possess the right of meeting, should not : be prevented from exercising it.”

In reply, I am to inform you that, whilst it would be unusual to publish copies of such memoranda, the Governor would be glad to invite the Attorney General to give his opinion on any question of law respecting your functions as Justices of the Peace, or as Visiting Justices of. the Gaol, that you may be good enough to transmit to me for that purpose; and further-

more, that His Excellency will be happy to

authorize and facilitate a general meeting of the

Visiting Justices on any day in the ensuing week

most convenient to you, subject of course to the provisions of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863.

We, however, have the honour to point out.

that the question with which we at present wish

to deal is the important one-as it seems to us-arising out of the correspondence with Mr. CREAGH.

copy of which we had the honour to hand you in our letter of 16th instant. Our proposal was to hold the meeting in association with, not in antagonism to, the Police Magistrate whose presence the Ordinance requires; and we trust that His Excellency the Governor will con- sider that we, as Justices of the Peace, are in a measure entitled to see the full opinions of the

Honourable the Attorney General, whose judica- tion the Police Magistrate invited upon the questions in which he thought his fellow Justices had taken erroneous views, portions of which opinions he quoted in his replies to our letters.

We have the honour to repeat our request that His Excellency will be pleased to direct that

copies of the full memoranda of the Attorney

General may be furnished to us, not necessarily

for publication, but for the information of our-

selves and the general body of the Justices of the

Peace who are interested in them.

The proper course for a Justice of the Peace to adopt who may desire to have the opi- nion of the Governor's law adviser on any matter whatever connected with his powers or duties as a Justice of the Peace, either under Ordinance No. 4 of 1863, or any other Ordinance, is to state the precise points on which he may desire the Attorney General's opinion and to apply to me for it, and there then could be no difficulty in getting it in the usual course.

3. As to the Official Minutes of the Attorney General for which you again ask, the Governor adheres to his decision not to give copies to you; there is no precedent for granting such a request. I have the honour to be.

Sir.

Your most obedient Servant.

HONGKONG, 6th March, 1879.

SIR-We have the honour to acknowledge

receipt of letter No. 128 of 4th ultimo, fron which we note that His Excellency the Governor, while indicating his willingness to obtain for us the opinion of the Honourable the Attorney Ge- neral on any“precise points”.we may name, declines to furnish us with copies of the full memoranda of that Officer as requested.

2. Our object in asking for these was to be enabled to consider the grounds upon which the Attorney General had based his conclusion, a conclusion appearing to place the Board of Jus- tices of the Peace in the position of having to depend upon the caprice of one of their body for their power to meet, with a legal status, which we cannot believe was contemplated by the Ordinance (No. 4 of 1863). That this position

may be avoided by an application to His Excel- lency-should he be pleased to comply there- with, to instruct a Police Magistrate to attend a meeting, does not appear to us to be a satis- factory solution of the difficulty.

3. We believe we are correct in stating that

the position of Boards of Justices of the Peace'

in England with regard to supervising the regu- lation and decipline of the Gaols is clearly de-

fined, and their powers in such matters thoroughly understood. We venture to suggest that the exercise of similar functions was, to some extent, contemplated when Ordinance No. 4 of 1863 was constructed, and that in this Colony the knowledge and experience of the residents who are on the commission of the peace might, if judiciously utilized, be very beneficial to the interest of the Colony in dealing with its large and increasing criminal population.

4. We have the honour to enclose copy of the whole correspondence which has taken place on this subject, and to request that His Excellency will be pleased to forward same to the Right Honourable Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, together with a copy of the Honourable the Attorney General's full memoranda thereon, in the hope that the Right Honourable Gentleman will be pleased to ascer- tain the views of the law Officers of the Crown, and, should he deem it necessary and expedient, authorize such alteration in the law of the Colony with regard to Justices of the Peace as will place them more in the position of such Officers in the United Kingdom.

DOWNING STREET,

26th June, 1879.

SIR,I have the honour to acknowledge the

receipt of your despatch No. 40, of the 29th of April, on the subject of a correspondence which has passed between Mr. CREAGH and certain Justices of the Peace relative to the refusal of the former to call a meeting of the Visiting Justices of the Gaol.

I request you will inform Mr. KESWICK and the four other gentlemen, at whose request the matter has been referred to me, that I have not thought it necessary to consult the Law Officers of the Crown respecting the construction to be put on Ordinance No. 4 of 1863, which appears to me to be clear and in accordance with the opinion

given by the Attorney General, nor do I see sufficient grounds for advising any alteration of this Ordinance.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

M. E. HICKS-BEACH.

Governor HENNESSY, C.M.G.,

His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., to The Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P.

[No.70.]

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 29th May, 1879.

SIR,-I have the honour to lay before you a letter from the Captain Superintendent of Police, with some minutes thereon, in which Mr. DEANE explains a practice that I have not been able to approve by which a Police Constable on retiring, was to have received a character-roll marked "very good," though within two years previous to his retirement, he had been twice fined for neglect of night

· duties, one of those fines being for “gross neglect of duty.”

2. This case illustrates what seems to me to have been a defect in the Police Regulations of Hongkong, and one not unlikely to account for some laxity in the performance by the Police of night duties. My attention was drawn to it in the following way:-Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent, wrote to the Colonial Secretary on the 1st instant, asking me to decide whether Police Constable JOHN Freeman, who was enlisted in our Police Force ten years ago in Hongkong, and who is now retiring on pension, should receive the three months' pay (as a sort of gratuity in addition to the pension) amounting to $120, being the sum he can receive under section 3 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1869, or whether the greater favour of giving him $250 (payable to Constables enlisted in the United Kingdom) should be allowed to him.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879.

557

3. In bringing this question before me, the Captain Superintendent added that JOHN FREEMAN'S character-roll counts for ten years' service as "very good." But on looking through the Police De- faulter's Book, I found eight offences recorded against FREEMAN, one being an offence described as

gross neglect of duty," and on calling for the details, the Captain Superintendent stated, that it was a case in which Police Constable FREEMAN, being in charge of a Police Station, was bound to have sent the Indian Constables on duty at 10 P.M., but that at midnight, the Inspector of the district having occasion to arrest a man, found no Constable on night duty, and on proceeding to the Police Station, he found FREEMAN and the Indians (who ought to have been on duty) in their beds.

4. This incident occurred in the middle of the year 1877, and though FREEMAN was then fined $6, he had again to be fined ($5) in the following month for being "asleep

'asleep on duty.'

on duty." But as I have long been of opinion that, upon the thorough performance of the night duties of the Police Force, we have mainly to depend for the prevention of crime in this Colony, and as I see no reason for doubting the accuracy of the view taken by the recent Committee of the Legislative Council presided over by the late Mr. MAY, that this Colony has been insufficiently policed at night time, and that this has had probably more to do with the increase in some class of offences than any other cause, I could not approve of a Police Regulation, which would give such a Constable the maximum mark of good conduct.

5. I felt that if I were to ratify the Captain Superintendent's certificate, that Police Constable FREEMAN'S conduct has been "very good," and to give him accordingly the suggested bonus of $250, I should not be encouraging that thorough performance of the night duties of the Force that I consider to be of such importance.

6. I accordingly directed the Captain Superintendent to revise the discharge certificate in this case by substituting a lower mark of conduct for the phrase "very good," and I also instructed him to see that FREEMAN was paid the lower bonus of $120 instead of $250.

To

7. In publishing my decision for the information of the Police Force, I said :—

"This decision may appear to press hardly upon Police Constable FREEMAN, who, knowing "the practice that had existed here for some years past, has not unnaturally calculated "on receiving a discharge certificate marked "very good," though on two occasions "during my brief administration of the Colony, he has been fined for neglect of night duties, yet I am sure every officer and man in the Police Force will understand, that "this decision points, on the other hand, to the fact that the Head of the Executive will "not be indifferent to the faithful discharge of the night duties of the Police, and that "the award of whatever bonuses or promotions in the Police may be at my disposal, "will depend, in no small degree, on the way in which each individual in the Force "does his work in protecting the Colony at night."

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 1st May, 1879.

SIR.-I have the honour to enclose the pension paper of ex P.C. 33, JOHN FREEMAN. 2. The pension would be payable in London.

3. Ex P.C. FREEMAN applies for a passage to England, which would cost $250; but by § 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1869, he is entitled to three months' pay, or $120, as he was enlisted in Hongkong.

4. It therefore rests with His Excellency to decide whether the greater favour is to be allowed. 5. I enclose his character-roll, which would count for ten years' service as “ very good."

W. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879. 559

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

I do not quite understand the last paragraph in the Captain Superintendent's letter of the 1st of May, 1879. Ask him to explain what he means by saying "I enclose his (JOHN FREEMAN'S) character- "roll, which would count for ten years' service as very good."

J. POPE HENNESSY.

14th May, 1879.

Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police.

I have the honour to report that the amplified meaning of the paragraph referred to is to this effect :-

JOHN FREEMAN has served ten years and reference to his character-roll shows that during that period of service he has only been fined on three occasions, and that on none of those occasions did the fine amount to $10 (which sum denotes a "serious offence"). Therefore, as the number of offences are few when the number of years he has served are considered, his character on his discharge certificate would be marked "very good."

W. M. DEANE,

Captain Superintendent of Police.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

1. In this case it rests with me to decide whether P.C. JOHN FREEMAN, who was enlisted in our Police Force ten years ago in Hongkong, and who is now retiring on pension, should receive the three months' pay (as a sort of gratuity in addition to the pension) amounting to $120, being the sum he can receive under section 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1869, or whether the greater favour of giving him $250 (payable to Constables enlisted in the United Kingdom) should be allowed to him.

2. In bringing this question before me, the Captain Superintendent adds, that JOHN FREEMAN'S character-roll counts for ten years' service as "very good."

3. But on looking through the character-roll I find eight offences recorded, some no doubt not very serious, but one so grave that it is impossible for me to overlook it. It is an offence described in the character-roll as "gross neglect of duty," and on calling for the details, the Captain Superintendent states that it was a case in which P.C. FREEMAN, being in charge of a Police Station, was bound to have sent the Indian Constables on duty at 10 P.M., but that at midnight, the Inspector of the district having occasion to arrest a man, found no Constables on night duty, and on proceeding to the Police Station he found FREEMAN and the Indians (who ought to have been on duty) in their beds.

4. This incident occurred in the middle of the year 1877, and though FREEMAN was then fined $6, he had again to be fined ($5) in the following month for being " asleep on duty."

5. Though it appears to have been the practice for the Captain Superintendent to record the character-roll of a Constable of the Hongkong Police as "very good" in spite of such incidents, unless the offence were more numerous, or the fines in each case amounted to $10, I cannot approve of it.

6. I have long been of opinion, that upon the thorough performance of the night duties of the Police Force, we have mainly to depend for the prevention of crime in this Colony. I see no reason for doubting the accuracy of the view taken by the recent Committee of the Legislative Council presided over by the late Mr. MAY, that this Colony has been insufficiently policed at night time, and that this has had probably more to do with the increase in some class of offences than any other cause.

7. But if I were now to ratify the Captain Superintendent's certificate that P.C. FREEMAN'S conduct has been "very good" and to give him accordingly the suggested bonus of $250, I should not be encouraging that thorough performance of the night duties of the Force that I consider to be of such vital importance.

8. The Captain Superintendent will, therefore, be good enough to revise the discharge certificate in this case substituting a lower mark of conduct for the phrase "very good," and he will also see that FREEMAN is paid the lower bonus of $120, instead of $250.

9. This decision may appear to press hardly upon P.C. FREEMAN, who, knowing the practice that had existed here for some years past, has not unnaturally calculated on receiving a discharge certificate marked "very good," though on two occasions during my brief administration of the Colony, he has been fined for neglect of night duties, yet I am sure every officer and man in the Police Force will understand that this decision points, on the other hand, to the fact that the Head of the Executive will not be indifferent to the faithful discharge of the night duties of the Police, and that the award of what- ever bonuses or promotions in the Police may be at my disposal, will depend, in no small degree, on the way in which each individual in the Force does his work in protecting the Colony at night.

Léung A-hò of Shun-tak, shopman, aged thirty years, was found guilty of having know- ingly taken into his custody certain anchors pre- viously by pirates feloniously taken from a junk called the "Kam-ü-hing." The prisoner was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.

Under that Ordinance, all receivers of property piratically taken are liable to be declared felons and punished as such, unless they are able to produce the seller of the property or to shew that the property came to them without ground to suspect that it had been dishonestly come by.

Li Pak-wong of San-on, stone-cutter, aged forty-two years, was found guilty of the murder of Tsang A-sám at Hung-hom, British Kaulung, on the 4th day of July, 1879.. The prisoner was sentenced to be hanged. This sentence was carried out, and Li Pak-wong was hung accard- ingly on the 2nd day of September, 1879.

BAY OF BENGAL-COROMANDEL COAST. MADRAS.

Change in the Anchorage Limits of the Port.

The Master Attendant of Madras has given notice that owing to the extension of the Harbour Works into deep water, it has become necessary to shift the Northern and Southern Port Buoys into eight fathoms of water. These buoys, which are painted half red and half white vertically, should henceforward be looked upon as danger buoys, and Commanders of Vessels, making or leaving the anchorage, are hereby warned not to pass in shore of these buoys by day, nor to come under eight fathoms by night, as the rubble bases of both groynes extend much further seaward than the walls themselves, and in some places have only 17 feet of water on them.

The middle, or large buoy, which is painted red, is laid down in six and a quarter fathoms, and marks the western limit of the anchorage for Steamers.

All sailing vessels, excepting dhonies, should anchor outside the eight-fathom line of soundings.

SIR, I have the honour to inform you that the Board of Health of this place, imposed 14 days quarantine on the British Steamer Diamante on her arrival from Hongkong, in consequence of there being some passengers on board proceed- ing from Japan; they have also declared the ports of Haiphong, Pakhoi, and Hoihow infected with Cholera, and vessels from those ports sub- jected to a fortnight's quarantine, and if vessels from Hongkong or Saigon have passengers or merchandise on board from these infected places, they likewise will be subjected to quarantine.

I managed to get the term reduced to nine days in the case of the Diamante, but the autho- rities are determined to carry out their views in respect to Japan.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH OCTOBER, 1879.

DIRECTIONS.-Vessels about to enter the N.W. Channel by the opening between the Hamilton Patches and the North Banks, should bring the peak of Burwah, open to the north of Tibrogargan (the peak which resembles a broken shaft) about the width of the former, and keep these marks on until the eastern shoulder of the range just north of the Malula River, and 600 feet high, is open of Caloundra Head. Then steer for the south-eastern Glasshouse, bearing S.W. by W. As the passage is entered, the northern edge of North Banks, which is steep to, will be clearly seen, having 7 fathoms close alongside. When Culum Hill is shut in, its own width with Caloundra Head,-its top showing over the near land, -a vessel may haul up and bring the right shoulder of the Malula Range on with the foot of the western slope of the hills forming Caloundra Head. A S.E. S. course should then be steered, keeping these marks on until Cowan Cowan Lighthouse is brought into line with Leading Hill on a S.E. E. bearing. The hill should be kept slightly open to the S.W. of the Lighthouse until the black buoy off the Spitfire Banks is passed. The positions of the Hill and Lighthouse should then be reversed until after passing the red buoy off the north extreme of the Western Banks, when the hill can again be brought to the S.W. of the Lighthouse, and the Main Channel past Cowan Cowan Point entered.

The S.E. peak of the Glasshouses is that which is noted on the chart as 920 feet in height.

By following the above directions a depth of not less than 6 fathoms at low water will be carried to the anchorage in Brisbane Roads.

A large square beacon will shortly be placed at the back of the beach, which in line with the south-easternmost Glasshouse on a S.W. by W. bearing will lead in through the passage between the Hamilton Patches and North Banks.

Vessels taking the passage between Caloundra Head and the 3-fathom Bank, will carry the deepest water by keeping at a distance of from half to three-quarters of a mile from the shore of Bribie Island.

Masters of coasters or small craft, using the inside anchorage are informed that two (2) beacons have been erected on Bear Point; when in line they mark the position of the cable, and bear from each other N. 67° W. and S. 67° E. It is particularly requested that masters will keep well to the north or south of this line before anchoring.

Marine Board Offices, Port Adelaide, 13th August, 1879.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

No. 12 of 1879. SPENCER GULF. Germein Bay-Port Pirie.

R. H. FERGUSON, President Marine Board.

The following remarks are published for the information and guidance of masters of vessels bound to the anchorage in Germein Bay or to Port Pirie:-

-:

The south side of the channel is marked by a pile beacon surmounted by a ball, painted red, and erected on the north end of Eastern shoal, in lat. 33° 4′ 50′′ S., long. 137° 41′ 45′′ E.

The course from the above beacon to a cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by cylindrical framework and ball, painted red, is E. by N. N., distant six miles. This buoy is moored in four fathoms at low water, on the N.W. or outer edge of the Cockle Spit. From this buoy, a course of E. by N. will lead to a pile beacon, surmounted by a ball painted red, distant one mile. From the beacon, a course of E. by S., distant three-quarters of a mile, will lead to a cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by cylindrical framework and ball, painted red. This buoy is moored on the northern or outer edge of the Cockle Spit, in three fathoms at low water.

Proceeding on a course of E. by S. from the last-mentioned buoy, and distant from it one mile, another cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by staff and ball, painted red, will be observed; it is moored in 15ft. at low water. From thence a course of S.E. by S., distant two and three-quarter miles, will lead to the fairway buoy, which is cheese-shaped, surmounted by cylindrical framework and ball, painted in black and red chequers. This buoy marks the entrance to Port Pirie harbour, and can be passed on either side; it is moored in 10ft. at low water.

The north side of the channel is marked as follows:

A cheese-shaped buoy, surmounted by staff and ball, painted black, is moored in 12ft. at low water on the S.W. edge of Ward Spit: Lat. 33° 2′ 40′′ S., long. 137° 49′ 45′′ E. A short half-mile to the eastward of this buoy will be observed a pile beacon with square head, painted black; it is in 10ft. at low water. From this beacon, a course of E. N., distant two and a half miles, will lead to a cheese-shaped buoy surmounted by staff and ball, painted black, and moored in three fathoms on the south edge of Ward Spit. From this buoy, a course of E. by N. N., distant two and a quarter miles, will lead to another black buoy of the same description, placed on the S.E. edge of Ward Spit, and moored in three fathoms at low water. Large ships intending to bring up in the outer roadstead should be prepared to anchor after passing this buoy.

All courses are magnetic.

SUPREME COURT,

27th October, 1879.

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court during the Criminal Sessions which commenced on the 18th day of September, 1879.

Lo A-shing, coolie of Tung-kún, twenty-three years of age, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a pair of trowsers. During the last three years, he had been five times convicted, once in the Supreme Court, four times at the Police Court.

He was now sentenced to ten years' penal servi- tude being apparently an incorrigible thief.

Wan A-tak of Macao, carpenter, twenty-two

of years

age, pleaded guilty to a charge of steal- ing six iron bolts from a dwelling house in course of construction. He also pleaded guilty to two previous convictions, one for larceny, the other for burglary. He was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.

622 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH OCTOBER,1879.

Kwán A-wan alias Chéung A-wá, unemployed, of Hoi-p'ing, twenty-seven years of age, was tried and convicted for a most impudent burglary. He broke into the house of Tsang A-shing in Hollywood Road in the night, and stole a quan-

tity of clothing. He was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.

Ho A-ch'éung, of Shun-tak, school boy, aged twenty years, was convicted of the larceny of $90 in money, and certain goods in the house of P'ún A-kit, in Victoria, in this Colony. T'ám A-kún

of Héung-shán, cook, aged thirty-six years, was found guilty of having received the said goods, knowing them to have been stolen. Ho A-ch'éung

was sentenced to three years' penal servitude, and T'ám A-kún to one year's imprisonment with hard labour.

Usoop, of Java, seaman, aged thirty-five years,

pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of one Thyair. It appeared that the prisoner took up the knife, with which he stabbed the deceased in the heat of fight, being previously unarmed. He therefore received the mild sentence of nine calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour.

Lü A-kau, of Shun-tak, seaman, aged thirty- one years, was convicted of having unlawfully enticed away a girl named A-ngan, aged eight years, and of having unlawfully detained the said child. The child was playing outside the door of the house of her guardian, when the prisoner took her by the hand, and on board the Macao steamer, where he was arrested by a Police Constable on duty at the wharf. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, and to be kept in solitary confine- ment for fourteen days together, in every three months of the said imprisonment.

Tsang Sz-tau, of P'ún-ü, farmer, aged fifty-one years, and U A-iu, of San-ning, coolie, aged thirty- nine years, were convicted of unlawfully by force, and by fraudulent means detaining two boys named respectively Ho Pò-shing and Yeung Shing, and aged respectively eleven and five

years, with intent to sell them. The children were offered for sale at Shau-ki-wán by the first prisoner, and the Police hearing of it, brought the first prisoner and the children to the Central Station. Here, the second prisoner came up and claimed the children as his nephews, and said he had handed them over to the first prisoner. The first prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for detaining by force the two boys with intent to sell them, and in addition, to eighteen calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour for de- taining them by fraudulent means with the same intent. As the guilt of the second prisoner did not appear to be so great as that of the first, he was sentenced to only eighteen calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour.

Kéung A-t'ò, of Nám-hoi, shopman, aged thirty-

nine years, was convicted of purchasing a female

child named Siu Hing, for the purposes

of pros- titution; and Li A-tak, of San-úi,widow, aged fifty-four years, was convicted of selling the same child for the like purposes. The prisoners were

each sentenced to eighteen calendar months' im- prisonment with hard labour.

Before passing sentence in the last three cases referred to, the Chief Justice remarked at great length upon the large increase in this Colony of the traffic in women and children, either for pur- poses of so called domestic slavery or for prosti- tution. His Honour alluded in the course of his remarks to certain misconceptions which seemed to exist, as to the law applicable to such crimes here and concluded by stating:-That to sell or to buy, or to hold, or detain a man, a woman, or a child as a slave, or as property, is absolutely prohibited by the law of England, which law is imported into and forms the substance of the law of Hongkong, by virtue of Ordinances No. 6 of 1845, and No. 12 of 1873.

SIR,—On the 25th instant I communicated to you by telegram the arrangements proposed for the transmission via Brindisi after January next, (when the existing contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company will expire) of the Eastern and Australian Mails, and the proposed abandonment of the service via Southampton.

I now enclose for the information of your Government copies of a correspondence between the Treasury and this Department upon which that telegram was founded.

Governor HENNESSY, C.M.G.,

HONGKONG.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

M. E. HICKS-BEACH.

The Treasury to the Colonial Office.

TREASURY CHAMBERS,

23rd July, 1879.

SIR, I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to transmit to you herewith for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, copy of a letter from the Postmaster-General, dated the 17th instant, respecting future arrangements for the conveyance of the portion of the Eastern Mails now carried via Southampton, and I am to request you to move Secretary Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH to favour my Lords with any observations he may have to offer in regard to the proposals contained therein so far as they affect the correspondence with the Australian Colonies, New Zealand, Ceylon, the Straits Settlements and Hong-Kong.

The Under Secretary of State,

I am, &c.,

H. SELWIN IBBETSON.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

17th July, 1879.

MY LORDS, When the arrangements were made last year for the Sea Conveyance of the Eastern Mails after the 1st February next, when the existing contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company will expire, it was determined to make no provision for a service between Southampton and Suez, and accordingly that line is omitted in the new contract.

It remains now to consider by what means the correspondence, which is at present being forwarded by the Southampton route, shall be sent after February.

In the early part of this year I put myself in communication with the Post Offices of France and Italy, for the purpose of ascertaining what abatement they would respectively be willing to make in the amount of the transit rates now paid to those Offices for the special weekly conveyance between Calais and Brindisi of the accelerated portion of the Eastern Mails, provided the whole of the corres- pondence of every description was forwarded by that route.

It is only very recently that I have received a definite reply from Italy.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

The following is the result. The French office will agree to reduce its transit rates from

15 frs. 52c. per kilo. for letters.

for newspapers.

60 c.

""

1 fr. 21c.

for books,

to 10 frs.

50c. other articles,

And the Italian Post Office will reduce its rates of

for letters.

100 frs. per kilo for letters, 50c. other articles, by about 35 per cent.

These concessions would reduce the special transit charges on letters by about 9 francs per kilo- gramme, leaving payable about 16 francs per kilogramme, and after full consideration I have come to the conclusion that it will be desirable to accept the offers made and to send the entire mail by the route of Brindisi and by the weekly mail.

In a correspondence which I have had with the Director General of the Indian Post Office, he expressed an opinion that when the Southampton Mail Packets are withdrawn, all letters, &c., paid at the Southampton rate of postage should be forwarded via Brindisi, by the ordinary mail trains of France and Italy, so as to obtain the benefit of the ordinary union transit rates.

But I cannot advise such an arrangement, which could not fail to give rise to much dissatisfaction. In the case of the outward mails, supposing the accelerated mail to be despatched from London on the evening of every Friday, as at present, and a packet to leave Brindisi early on Monday morning, letters sent by the ordinary trains might be posted in London up till the evening of a previous day (Thursday) and reach Brindisi in time to catch the packet.

In the opposite direction the mails for England reaching Brindisi from the East would, if sent through Italy and France by the ordinary trains, arrive in London only about 24 hours after the express mail; or if a Sunday intervened both portions of the mails might be delivered together.

The consequence of this would be that the bulk of the letters would assuredly be diverted from the quick to the slow Mail, seeing that the difference in time would be so trifling.

If such were the case there would be a risk that on the one hand the payments to France and Italy for the accelerated Service might be diminished to an extent which would lead to a demand for higher transit rates, and that on the other hand the weight and bulk of the correspondence sent by the ordinary trains might become so great as to impose extraordinary charges for its conveyance, and thus induce the French and Italian Offices to decline to accept the ordinary Union transit rates.

The right course, in my opinion, is as I have said, to send the whole of the Eastern Mails by the Accelerated Service.

At the same time I propose that the single rate of postage to be levied on letters to or from India, China, &c., should not exceed 5 pence, which is one penny less than the present Brindisi rate, and one penny more than the Southampton rate, which was reduced from sixpence to fourpence, on the 1st of April last.

In the case of letters to Australia the rate would be 7d.

The amount derived from the supplementary charge of 1d. per half-ounce will not be quite sufficient to cover the payments to France and Italy, but the loss which will fall upon the department will probably be less than we should have to pay to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, or any other Company by whose vessels the slow portion of the mails might be sent between England and Suez.

I have accordingly to request the authority of your Lordships to adopt the arrangements which I have here proposed.

Before coming to a decision your Lordships will no doubt consult the Secretary of State for India, as the Indian Government bears a portion of the expense of the Eastern Mail contract, and will also refer to Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH the proposal, so far as it affects the charge on letters exchanged with the Australian Colonies and New Zealand, or with Ceylon, the Straits Settlements, or Hong Kong.

I have, &c.,

The Lords Commissioners of the Treasury.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

No. 6 of 1874.

REVOLVING LIGHT, CAPE BEALE.

Notice is hereby given that a Lighthouse has been erected by the Government of Canada, on Cape Beale, at the South- East point of the entrance to Barclay Sound, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, Province of British Columbia.

Lat. 48° 47′ 48′′ N.

Long. 125° 12′ 52′′ W.

A Revolving White Light on the Catoptric principle, elevated 164 feet above high water, will be exhibited on 1st July next. The Light will show at intervals of 30 seconds, making a complete revolution in two minutes, and should be

seen in clear weather at a distance of 19 miles.

The Tower is a square building, painted light stone colour, elevated 35 feet from summit to centre of light, with detached oblong dwelling house, painted same colour. The light will be visible from an Easterly bearing, parallel with the coast round to W. by N. N. Caution is hereby given that the light should not be brought to bear to the Eastward of E. N., as foul ground extends off the entrances to Barclay Sound.

All bearings are Magnetic. The Light is for the purpose of a coast light, and to indicate the entrance to Barclay Sound.

Mariners, however, should not attempt to enter the Sound at night without local knowledge or a Pilot.

THE COMMERCE AND FINANCES OF THE COLONY.

HIS EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, in opening what I may call the session of 1879-80 and laying before you the Estimates for 1880 my first duty is to briefly refer to the financial statement I made last year when introducing the Estimates for 1879. In September, 1878, I ventured to anticipate that the prosperity of the Colony of Hongkong would be shown at the end of that year by the shipping returns. This is one of the largest depôts of shipping in the world and the prosperity of the Colony is best gauged, no doubt, by the amount of shipping that comes into and leaves the harbour. In spite of

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 653

commercial depression elsewhere, I thought we should have no reason to despair of the year 1878. It will be satisfactory for you to know that so far my anticipations have proved to be correct, and that the tonnage of vessels recorded as entering Hongkong in the year 1878 exceeds the tonnage that has been hitherto recorded in any year in the history of this Colony. I find in the year 1875 the total tonnage was 3,326,774, in 1876 this rose to 3,900,891, in 1877 it was 4,244,543, and in 1878 it reached 4,352,668; and the Harbour Master says that his returns show that the total tonnage entered and cleared at his office in 1878 was 8,982,593. The total tonnage cleared and entered in the year 1877 was 8,594,348, showing an increase of 388,245 tons. Now, to enable us to estimate the magni- tude of this commercial movement it is natural enough to compare it with the total tonnage entered and cleared in the United Kingdom, and I find that according to the last authentic returns before me that it amounted in the year 1877 to 51,531,000, whereas ours in 1878 was 8,982,000. In other words our tonnage, we may safely say, was something like one-sixth of the total tonnage of the United Kingdom. And another fact of interest is this, that if you endeavour to ascertain, which we cannot. do here with accuracy, what is the value of this depôt trade, we find that in England, where they can do so, the total value of imports and exports amounted to £646,000,000, and as our tonnage is something like one-sixth of what it is in the United Kingdom, I think a predecessor of mine who estimated the value of trade of this Colony inwards and outwards at £100,000,000 was not far off the mark. And another gentleman who has a large knowledge of the commercial history and position of this Colony, Mr. GRANVILLE SHARP, in the early part of 1877, before I arrived in the Colony, printed a little state- ment respecting the commercial resources of the Colony, containing statistics of the leading import and export trade of Hongkong by which the probable accuracy of this estimate is confirmed.

So far we have, therefore, no reason to complain of the year 1878. And I may, perhaps, remind the Council that that was the year in which it was asserted, by some otherwise highly intelligent gentlemen, that there was great insecurity of property in the Colony owing to a policy of undue leniency on the part of the local Government towards the criminal classes. We now know, however that, as far as a flourishing revenue and a flourishing commerce are any indications of general security, the result has not been unsatisfactory.

With respect to the Oriental trade, the Harbour Master says:-"There has been a considerable increase in the trade between this port and India and Singapore, as well as with Japan." As regards the latter, I am disposed to think from what I have myself seen in Japan and ascertained from the merchants there, that the Japanese trade with South China and Hongkong will increase more rapidly, in proportion, than any other branch of our Eastern commerce.

Now, gentlemen, with respect to the Estimates which I propose to lay upon the table, it has been hitherto my practice to submit from time to time the details of the Estimates to the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council, so that in fact the Finance Committee had before them the applications, more or less numerous, for increase of pay, the various applications of the Surveyor General for the expenditure of public money, and the applications of the officers who have the spending of money in other departments. But instead of pursuing that course this year I have, under instructions from the Secretary of State, adopted the course I am now taking, which is that of laying the Estimates before you on my own responsibility, and then, after the statement I make to-day, and to-day's pro- ceedings close, the Council will be able to adjourn when the Finance Committee can go through the Estimates, and then, at a reasonable time, the Council will meet and deal with the Appropriation Ordinance embodying the Estimates.

The revenue that my honourable friend the Acting Colonial Treasurer, Mr. TONNOCHY, anticipates for the year 1880 is based upon the actual receipts which he finds recorded in his books for the first nine months of 1879. My Honourable friend arrives at the conclusion that our revenue will reach the figure of $1,017,956. You will notice that under the head of taxes there is a falling-off. This is to be accounted for by the fact that under the head of Stamps I estimate for $115,000 only and under the head of Police assessment, Water- rate, Lighting rate, and Fire Brigade rate, I anticipate receiving a smaller sum than was actually received in the year 1878. But, as you are no doubt aware, the falling off in the house tax arises from the fact, not that the Colony is less prosperous, not that we have fewer houses-for even in spite of the fire that destroyed 366 houses in December 1878 we have more houses at this moment than we had at any other period in the history of the colony-but it arises from the fact that last year I took the responsibility of reducing the rate from twelve per cent. to ten per cent. When I referred in my financial statement last year to the possibility of a reduction in taxation I drew your attention to the fact that there was a great difference between reducing such a tax as that levied on the native junk trade and reducing the house-tax, inasmuch as I stated that the former would require a legislative enactment, which it would be very

difficult to go back upon, whereas the Governor in Executive Council is bound to review every year the question of the house-tax, and determine what should be the rate for the ensuing year. Therefore the reduction in that rate for the current year was not constituted a permanent reduction. I may inform the Council that an important proposal has been submitted to me by three gentlemen,-my Honourable friend the senior unofficial member (Mr. RYRIE), and two of the officers of the Government suggesting that water tanks be erected along the side of the hill overlooking the town to provide a supply of water for the extinction of fires.

A de-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

putation waited upon me and expressed, on behalf of the community, an earnest desire that the views of that Committee should be carried out. I have reported that to the Secretary of State. The estimate for the proposed scheme amounts to $50,000, and if I am called upon to expend that sum for this purpose I think I may appeal to you, and the whole community that for getting that sum-or $30,000 at all events-I would be fully justified in asking the householders to contribute, and therefore it would be my duty next month, when I have to consider this question of the house rates, if Her Majesty's Gov- ernment approve of the expenditure, to re-impose the two per cent. to get the money to pay for that which is practically a fire brigade service, and of course affects, more than any other, the actual house- holders. At the present time you won't find this $50,000 included in the Estimates, because it requires the sanction of the Secretary of State; and you will see that the Colonial Treasurer has estimated the house-rates at the lower rate of ten and not twelve per cent.

There is a change, under the head of Postage. The amount of expenditure has increased and the receipts have also increased. On that subject it is only necessary to remind you that for some time past-for a year or two--there has been a question, which has not been discussed at this Council table, but has been discussed in another form, as to how far the Postal revenue is correctly stated on the Estimates. I entertain a decided opinion that we should deal with postal revenue as with everything else, that the Postmaster should include in his estimate of expenditure all the money expended, and in his estimate of receipts the gross receipts. However, he entertained a different opinion and handed in figures of a different character. This occurred during my absence in Japan. Mr. MARSH referred these figures back to him, pointing out what was the practice elsewhere, and what he himself, with his experience as Auditor General, thought it was the proper one to be followed. On returning to the Colony, I therefore placed before the Treasurer the figures which the Audit Office had resolved upon on a careful investigation of the whole subject, which were the figures showing the gross receipts and gross expenditure.

1

The total estimated expenditure is $964,355, and as the estimated revenue is $1,017,956, the estimated surplus on the transactions of the year 1880 is $53,601. The most important change is that under the head of Police. Now the question of the Police Force in this Colony has engaged the attention of the Government more than once. We have had of late years two Committees or Commis- sions sitting upon the subject. I appointed a Committee presided over by my lamented friend, Mr. MAY, to investigate the question of Police and crime in the Colony. I had previously taken the responsibility, I think in August, or September, 1878, of giving instructions to Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent, to strengthen the night force, and I pointed out the desirability of having the night duties of the force increased thirty-three per cent. The Committee I appointed examined Mr. DEANE, Mr. CREAGH, and a number of the Inspectors and other persons competent to give advice on the subject. No one indeed was more competent than the Chairman himself to form an opinion upon it. They arrived at the conclusion that the two-thirds night system, as it is called, should be tried, and that the system would probably tend to diminish crime, for they expressed a decided opinion that the Colony was not adequately policed at night time. Well, that report was laid before Her Majesty's Government, and about the same time, or indeed a little before that report reached the Government, they also received, from two important sections of the Community, the opinions of those sections upon that very question, as to the Police. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH received a memorial addressed to him by all the leading Chinese merchants of the Community, in which amongst other things, they expressed an opinion that the town had not been for some years adequately policed at night, and expressed a hope that he would sanction a moderate increase of the Police Force. On the other hand, a resolution was also laid before Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH in which some of the European section of the Community took a different view, and thought no change was necessary in the Police arrangements of the Colony. Well, that point has been considered carefully by the Secretary of State, and he has conveyed to me the decision that be entirely approves of the two-thirds system of night duty, and he asks me also carefully to consider the question whether some increase ought not to be made in the Police Force. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH also points out that Mr. MAY'S Committee called attention to the fact that on one particular day in October, to which they referred, there were 106 members of the Police Force employed on what were called special duties, that is five or six at Government House, a few employed taking care of the Courts of justice, and in different parts of the Colony the Police were engaged in that way--my Honourable friend Mr. TONNOCHY had twenty in the Gaol-and in various ways 106 members of the force were diverted from what were really their proper duties. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH directs that these Policemen should be paid for by the different departments that were using them. Accordingly, in preparing the Esti- mates, I have charged the various departments with these Policemen who were formerly charged to the Police vote, and I requested Captain DEANE to state what increase in the force he would require, inasmuch as all the money not so required would be struck off the Police vote. Mr. DEANE in his minute expresses his views, and is content to have an increase of thirty-six men in the Police force. The sum which will be charged to the various departments, amount to $12,245. However, with certain reductions of salaries which you will see by the pay list-the net increase in the salaries of Police force will be $10,680, and there is a further expenditure for the present year of something over $11,000 in connection with steam launches for the Police. I have told you what the opinion of the

1

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 655

Committee was. I am now able to give you also the opinions of competent persons in the Police force itself as to the actual results of this question of the two-thirds night duty. During my absence in Japan, the Administrator called upon Captain DEANE to let him know how this new system worked, and Captain DEANE reported as follows:-"I have collected reports from the different Inspectors, and their opinions coincide with mine, it has had a decidedly beneficial effect in diminishing the amount of crime during those hours." Chief Inspector HORSPOOL says he was always in favour of the two- thirds system, it was the system under which he worked in London, and it has been most beneficial here; and all the other Inspectors say the result has been most satisfactory and has diminished crime. Captain DEANE was of opinion he required a few more men so as to increase the day duties, and he is now content with the comparatively small increase of thirty-six. So far, I hope our Police system has been improved. I may add that the Senior Acting Magistrate informed me that during the time this system has been in operation, there has been a marked diminution in the number of cases of serious crime.

Now, gentlemen, there is one slight increase in the establishment charges which I am instructed to make in a despatch from the Secretary of State, No. 105 of the 15th August. Sir MICHAEL HICKS- BEACH was good enough to say.-"In consideration of the expense entailed on the Governor by the numerous entertainments he is called upon to give, I am of opinion the allowance made to him for lighting Government House, etc., should be increased from $1,440 to $4,800, such increase to date from the 1st January last."

There is another change which you will see, and which really does not involve any question of money, it is merely a transfer from one department to another department, and that follows from the fact that Mr. FORD is now placed at the head of the Botanical department. I shall lay before you the various minutes and papers which explain how it came to pass that Mr. FORD, arriving in this Colony in 1871 and being placed in the position to which he was appointed, and being in that position for some time, was subsequently, some two years afterwards, deprived of his position as the independent head of a department. For you will see that this was not known to Her Majesty's Government, but that when the attention of the Government was called to the position and duties of Mr. FORD despatches. arrived the result of which is I now have to place before you a separate department at the head of which is Mr. FORD. The despatches of the Secretary of State, minutes, and some subsequent corres- pondence, will all be printed for the information of the Council.

With respect to the financial proceedings of the year 1879, I think my Honourable friend (Mr. MARSH) in his capacity as Auditor looked very carefully into what would be the result of the year's transactions and endeavoured to anticipate what they would be some months ago, and I think my Honourable friend communicated a despatch to the Secretary of State during my absence in which he expressed his views on the subject, and what he anticipated from what he had then seen would be the surplus of revenue on the year. I think it was something like $60,000.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY said that was the amount; and he might add that he had looked over the figures for the third quarter, and they verified the result of the first six months.

His EXCELLENCY. It is very satisfactory to me to know that an Honourable member of such great experience in Colonial finance should have verified so far my anticipations as to the prosperous state of revenue in the year 1879 and I think we may look forward with confidence to having a very respectable surplus at the end of this year's transactions. I believe our balances have continued to increase, and on that subject I may say in a whisper, which I hope will not reach Singapore, that in the Straits Settlements, with their opium farm increase, I notice there has been a serious diminution in the item of interest-in other words it seems their balances have been declining-ours have been increasing, and my Honourable friend anticipates an income of $20,000 in the year for interest, which is a far larger sum than has ever been received in this Colony before. Apart from ordinary local expenditure, I think it well, on Imperial grounds, that a Crown Colony should have a substantial balance in the Treasury chest. Contingencies may arise at any moment not contemplated in the usual items of Colonial expenditure. So far for the actual state of the Colony and our prospects. The Estimates, as I told you, will come before you in Finance Committee, and you will have to undertake the ungracious task of cutting down to any extent you may desire the various items of expenditure. It is, I think, a part of our constitutional system that members of Finance Committee are debarred from the privilege of proposing an increase or additional votes, but you can always exercise that power which members of the House of Commons exercise, or try to exercise, of cutting down votes. I now propose the first reading of the Appropriation Ordinance. The Estimates will be laid on the table.

FINANCE VOTES.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY proposed the confirmation of a number of votes which had already been before the Finance Committee.-Agreed to.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE, 1878.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY proposed the first reading of a Bill to appropriate $70.000 to defray the supplementary charges for 1878.

NAVAL YARD POLICE FORCE AMENDMENT BILL.

This Bill passed through Committee, and was passed.

SURVEY OF STEAMSHIPS AND BOILERS BILL, AND THE MERCHANT SHIPPING CONSOLIDATION BILL.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that with reference to the first of these Bills difficulties had occurred, and when it was before the Committee it was thought advisable to refer the matter to Her Majesty's Government. On the 18th October His Excellency received a despatch from Sir MICHAEL HICKS- BEACH stating that the points which had been referred to him had been considered and were thought proper by the Board of Trade to be introduced into the Bill, namely, the placing of foreign steamers carrying passengers from Hongkong in the very same position as British ships, so that there would be no unfairness. The matter had been referred to the Board of Trade, and they had reported to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH that the Council would be at liberty to apply the provisions of the Bill to foreign steamers provided they recognised the certificates of survey and certificates of masters and mates from the vessel's country which were of equivalent value to British certificates. With reference to the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Ordinance, carrying out His Excellency's instructions in reference to it, he had been able to proceed with the Bill, which had been before the Council since 1874, and which incorporated the Survey Bill. He thought it would save time if they read that Bill a second time, instead of going into Committee on the smaller measure. Owing to Mr. PHILLIPPO's illness the report of the Select Committee had never been drawn up, but Mr. WODEHOUSE had taken very copious notes, and he (the Attorney General) had been able to give effect to most of the discussions. The consideration of it, however, would take considerable time, and he proposed that the Bill be now read a second time and its consideration in committee be adjourned until some day next week, or whenever it might be convenient to His Excellency and Honourable members. He thought the Bill embraced all the amendments in the Merchant Shipping Act to date and would be found a very useful measure. It embraced also the River Steamer Ordinance which had been brought in by His Excellency. The present system was a tonnage measurement, the allowance of passengers being three to every two tons net. The present Bill left it entirely in the hands of the Governor in Council to decide in every case what number of passengers a ship might carry, and in that the Governor would be guided by the surveyor. He thought this would really meet the want felt by some of the agents and owners of the river steamships, and if this Bill passed the old Ordinance would be repealed, but until that time the old Ordinance was, of course, still in full force. He thought with a little energy they might get through the Bill by the end of the year.

Honourable W. KESWICK thought it would be convenient if the debate on the second reading were postponed until the next meeting in order that members might make themselves acquainted with the contents of the volumnious Ordinance.

His EXCELLENCY said he was perfectly ready to postpone the second reading until some day early next week but he hoped, they would get through the Ordinance without any unreasonable delay. It had been fully considered by the members of the Legislative Council present, with the exception of the Chief Justice and himself, as the Attorney General had pointed out. The point he laid before Her Majesty's Government at the suggestion of the Council was one of great importance. They were aware the late Attorney General, Mr. PHILLIPPO, and others expressed the opinion that it would be Well, he told the hardly possible to bring foreign ships under the survey as British ships were. Council he thought it very hard that in this Colony, or any other Colony, British shipowners should be at a disadvantage as compared with German or American or any other foreign shipowners. He therefore represented that to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, and he was glad to say the Secretary of State, after consulting with the Board of Trade, had consented to the proposed alteration. He thought the British shipowners here were much indebted to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, and Her Majesty's Government for the important decision arrived at.

The debate on the second reading was then adjourned.

His EXCELLENCY said he would like the Council to meet, if possible, on Tuesday.

CHINESE EMIGRATION AMENDMENT ORDINANCE.

This Bill, which merely makes certain technical amendments in the existing acts, was read a first time.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 657

EXCISE ORDINANCE (OPIUM) 1879 AMENDMENT BILL.

This Bill was read a first time.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL explained that the object of the Bill was to make better provisions for the apprehension and punishment of offenders against the Opium Ordinance. In Section 13 of Ordinance 2 of 1858 a fine of $250 was imposed for the first offence, and $500 for a second offence, with simple imprisonment; it was now proposed to increase these penalties-as those persons who found it to their interest to break the Opium Ordinance seemed well able to pay-to $500 for a first, and $1,000 for a second offence, with imprisonment with or without hard labour for six months. A few ambiguous definitions were also cleared up; and as doubts had been expressed as to the powers of the excise officers to arrest without a warrant, it was provided that it would be sufficient reason for arrest if reasonable ground existed that any one possessed prepared opium that had not paid duty to the Opium Farmer.

DEPORTATION AND ILLEGAL FLOGGINGS.

His EXCELLENCY said.-After the meeting of the Executive Council yesterday evening, when we had gone through the Estimates for 1880 and approved of the Bills to be placed in the Order Book for to-day, the Clerk of Councils received a note from an Honourable member saying that he wished to make some observations on Deportation at this meeting. I accordingly added to the printed list, of Orders the following,." No. 7, the Honourable W. KESWICK's observations on Deportation.'

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I am much obliged to your Excellency for affording me to-day the opportunity of making a few remarks. I was late in applying yesterday, but I thought I should receive the consideration you have kindly given. On the 29th May your Excellency entered very elaborately into a defence of your policy on deportation, and stated at considerable length particulars of the action which you had taken, asserting also that every man had been deported whose case was considerd by the Executive Council as requiring deportation and whose sentence according to the Attorney General was legal. Your Excellency invited observations on the papers laid upon the table. I suggested it would be well to defer their consideration or remarks upon them until such time as they had been read. I have had an opportunity of going through those papers, and I approached them with a feeling of pleasure that an opportunity would be afforded of removing what your Excellency termed strange misconceptions with regard to the treatment of criminals. I had also the pleasure of considering that I would be going over the same ground that Mr. Lowcock had traversed so satisfactorily and who, according to your Excellency, explained that had he been in your place he would have acted precisely as you have done. The examination of these papers, however, proved disappointing to me. I did not find in them that in all cases-that cardinal statement of your Excellency-every man had been deported whose case had been considered by the Executive Council to require deportation. The documents were so volumnious that I had to take notes of them. I hope your Excellency will allow me to refer to them in that form. And it is important that as much documentary evidence of the facts which I lay before you should be given as possible. I am under the impression that these documents prove that dangerous criminals have been set free unconditionally instead of being deported under the laws specially provided for the purpose.-

His EXCELLENCY.-I beg the Honourable member's pardon, but he seems to be reading his speech. Honourable W. KESWICK said he was not going to read a prepared speech.

His EXCELLENCY.-I think we had better adhere as far as possible to the printed rules and regulations of the Legislative Council, and one rule clearly is that reading from a paper of that kind is opposed to the regulations. I wish to give the Honourable member every facility in the course he has now entered on, but he will remember from the minutes of the last meeting, confirmed to-day, that - it was agreed that the Acting Attorney General, (Mr. RUSSELL,) was to look over these documents, and any papers that were required to be printed could be so printed. Well, that has not been done, and there is some inconvenience in this course being adopted as other members have not seen the papers; they have been for months in the possession of the Honourable gentleman, (Mr. KESWICK,) and as he gave notice only last evening. I did not call for them, to refresh my memory, till to-day, but as far as I am personally concerned that is an inconvenience I raise no objection to. But it is as well for us not to do too much in breaking the rules of the Council.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I will ask your Excellency if I shall be in order in referring to matters which it is impossible for me to remember with accuracy, such as dates, matters referred to in papers, and others on which it is important there should be no mistake.

His EXCELLENCY.--Certainly, Rule eleven says:-"No member shall be allowed to read a speech, but may obtain permission to introduce documentary matters."

-

658 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. ·

Honourable W. KESWICK.-Well, I find in these papers the first case referred to is No. 1,157, that of CHAN TIN LAM, in 1877. The first conviction appears to be on the 9th November, 1874, the second on the 9th July, 1875, and the third on the 20th May, 1876. Mr. MAY applied to have this prisoner deported. I understand from the minutes that considerable discussion took place (hear, hear)-consideration I mean-consideration of the case took place and the Executive Council approved of the deportation. I think that subsequently it was supposed that the man had been whipped when he was under the age at which such a punishment ought to have been inflicted.

His EXCELLENCY.-One of the points was that he had received a larger number of strokes in a single whipping-twenty-four, the maximum number being twenty under the Ordinance for a juvenile offender than the Law allowed.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-However, a great deal of consideration appears to have been given to the subject, and the Attorney General at last made this minute. Before reading the minute I would ask your Excellency whether I would be in order in doing so.

His EXCELLENCY.-It is documentary matter. I can have no objection to your reading it. Honourable W. KESWICK then read--

"I have perused these papers again and the additional papers forwarded to me. There can be no doubt that it is advisable that His Excellency the Governor and the Executive should interfere with the Judicial Department as little as possible. This has been laid down over and over again within my knowledge by the Colonial Office. Magistrates when acting ministerially are subject to the directions of the Government; when they are acting judicially they ought to be almost, if not quite, as indepen- dent of the Executive as the Judges of the Supreme Court themselves. An appeal lies from the Magistrate's decision to the Supreme Court, and any party feeling himself aggrieved may take advantage of such appeal. If a Magistrate knowingly inflicts an improper punishment he may, under certain circumstances, be inade to pay damages at the suit of the party aggrieved; or a criminal information may be obtained against him. Ordinarily, therefore, the Executive ought not to interfere with decisions of the Magistrates when acting judicially. In any case of apparent hardship, or upon receiving a petition from or on behalf of any person convicted, His Excellency may call for a report from the Judge or Magistrate who tried the case in order that he may consider whether it is advisable or not to exercise the power entrusted to him of pardoning the offender. If His Excellency has any reason to believe that any Judge or Magistrate, acting wilfully, or wantonly, have deliberately exceeded his powers, His Excellency may call upon any such person for his defence before the Executive Council, and may suspend him from his office pending a reference to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

"For mere errors in judgment or incorrect conclusions, which may be made or formed by any one, the law provides a remedy by appeal.

"In this case the question seems to me to have resolved itself into this. Did or did not the offender, in the opinion of the Court before whom he was brought, exceed the age of 16 years? If he did not in the honest opinion of the Magistrate exceed the age of 16 years, then the infliction of cor- poral punishment was lawful, whatever his real age may have been and whatever evidence may have been tendered at the time or discovered afterwards and whoever may be of opinion that the Magistrate was in error. If there is any evidence, however, to show that either of the Magistrates, knowing that the offender was above 16, wantonly inflicted the punishment of whipping, His Excellency would be quite justified in calling for a defence before the Executive Council. I cannot, however, conceive, from the papers before me, that any such conclusion could be possibly arrived at, having regard also to the great respect universally entertained for both the Magistrates, and the satisfaction they have given in the discharge of their duties apparently to all classes of the community, one of them at least for a lengthened period.

"I would therefore suggest to His Excellency that it would be desirable to let this matter drop. He might, I would suggest, issue a memo. to the Magistrates referring to the fact that he had had some doubts in some of the cases which had been brought before him, expressing his confidence that they would continue to take great pains to arrive at just conclusions, suggesting, with regard to some of the points raised, that it would be advisable, in cases where they had any difficulty, to apply for the opinion of the Law Officer of the Crown, and acknowledging the value generally placed on their services by the community in general,-

His EXCELLENCY.-Pray read on. Honourable W. KESWICK.-reads—

Unless His Excellency is prepared to charge the Magistrates with criminal conduct in the matter, to do more, as, for instance, to censure the Magistrates, in any way for the manner in which they exercised a discretionary power (His Excellency will, I am sure, excuse me for writing freely) would be, in my opinion, to repeat the blunder made by LORD LYTTON in India when he censured and punished the Magistrate and to some extent censured also the Supreme Court for leniency in a case where a native died after having been struck by a European.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 659

"The question of the prisoner's age on the 4th conviction appears, from the notes, to have been considered by the Magistrate at the time. If His Excellency objects to the power given to Magistrates under the Ordinance the proper course to be taken seems to me to take the necessary steps in order to get the Ordinance amended."

"G. P."

Well, this offender appears to have been a dangerous character, and he was liberated. The next case that I have on record is that of CH'AN ASAN, No. 1,230. I will not go into the details of this case, but will read your Excellency's minute, which is in these words.-The Honourable member read the minute which was to the effect that His Excellency directed the man to be proceeded against with great reluctance, the Executive Council recommending it and the Attorney General having no doubt as to the legality of the sentence. Beneath that, on the 18th June, you will find "Let the prisoner be discharged."

His EXCELLENCY.-Can you state what occurred in the meantime?

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I have not got the particulars, but I don't think it was submitted. again to the Executive Council.

""

His EXCELLENCY said he saw the words "Let the prisoner be discharged' were connected with an opinion of Mr. PHILLIPPO in which he expressed a doubt as to the legality of a part of the proceedings, and also of certain punishments inflicted on the prisoner.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-However, it appears he was set at liberty, clearly a dangerous charac- ter, without any security having been taken. The next case is that of LI APAK, No. 1,453. This is a case in which the deportation also appears to have been approved of by the Executive Council. Your Excellency remarks in a minute upon it. "The deportation is illegal, so the prisoner must be discharged." The Attorney General, I observe in the margin, had approved, as the other members of the Executive Council had done, of the man's deportation. I fail to see any explanation of why, notwithstanding that, the prisoner was set at liberty and nothing done to take security.

His EXCELLENCY.-Because the deportation sentence was illegal. Does the Honourable member contest that the sentence was clearly illegal?

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I will come presently to a case in which the Chief Justice kept the sessions open with a view to the discussion of a case, and the Chief Justice also on that occasion pointed the line of remedy which was open, and by which your Excellency could have proceeded against these prisoners, according to my view of the matter.

His EXCELLENCY.-The question here was, was the sentence legal or illegal? My minute says it was illegal. If the Honourable member refers again to the case I have no doubt he would say it was illegal.

*

Honourable W. KESWICK.-The next case is No. 1,925, 20th August, 1877, MOK AKWAI.

His EXCELLENCY.-Well, what about him?

Honourable W. KESWICK.-It is remarkable only, so far as I can see, from this memorandum of your Excellency's, "Let no prosecution take place without my sanction."

His EXCELLENCY.-Will you kindly read the next minute?

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I have nothing further.

His EXCELLENCY.-It is part of the same thing. It is, "Let the prosecution proceed."

"(Signed,)

J. P. H.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I am sorry that, in this case, I did not turn over the leaf. I only saw the first part. It struck me as being remarkable. The next case I have is 2,845, which bears this remark by your Excellency, "As we have not ourselves complied with the deportation law. I am not disposed to prosecute TANG ALI for not complying with the deportation law." This is another instance of a man being discharged without any security being taken.

His EXCELLENCY.-Well, I presume there was something illegal in the case.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I don't perceive anything.

His EXCELLENCY.-Yes, the deportation sentence itself was illegal.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-What I complain of is that nothing was done.

His EXCELLENCY.-What could be done?

Honourable W. KESWICK.-I think the matter might have been referred back to the Magistrates and security taken.

660 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

His EXCELLENCY.-But this is after that was done.

Honourable W. KESWICK. The next case I have is 2,165, CHAN Kow, 14th September, 1877-9. I have not got the exact words which are on the paper. He was a returned deportee and was set at liberty on promising not to return.

His EXCELLENCY.-Yes, I got the man out of the Colony, though we could not enforce the former warrant as the Chief Justice said it was illegal.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-What occurred to me was no security was taken for his leaving the

Colony.

His EXCELLENCY.-The man had been illegally banished, and we could not punish him for returning but we got him to leave the Colony.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-However, a difference of opinion may prevail with reference to these cases, but there is the case No. 1,474, which it is quite refreshing to read. It is that of LAN Afat. He returned from banishment, and attention having been drawn to the technical error in the warrant, the Colonial Secretary wrote in these words. "The Governor, however, is of opinion you have good grounds for charging him with being a suspicious character and if the Magistrates recommend him for deportation His Excellency will be prepared to entertain the recommendation." That is the course, it occurred to me, it would have been desirable to have pursued at an earlier period. Having brought down the cases to a period when the right course appears to have been adopted, I will leave the subject, but before doing so I will ask your Excellency's permission to read a letter from Mr. Lowcock, to whom I referred earlier in my remarks as having gone over the ground, according to the statement made by your Excellency at the last meeting, when your Excellency said the course pursued, as shown by papers, had met with his approval.

The Honourable WILLIAM KESWICK, Hongkong.

Southampton, 22nd July, 1879.

MY DEAR KESWICK.-The last mail from Hongkong brought me the report of the meeting of the Legislative Council of the 29th May, and I have read with considerable surprise the remarks of the Governor when laying on the table the correspondence I moved for some months ago in reference to deportation. As these remarks must have certainly caused a general impression in Hongkong, that I was, after a thorough perusal of the papers alluded to by His Excellency, satisfied with the action of the Executive in reference to the cases of deportation referred to in my motion, I think it my duty to endeavour to correct such an erroneous impression, and no other means occur to me of so doing but that of writing to you on the subject to place you in possession of the facts, as you were good enough to second my motion, and had I really formed the opinions imputed to me I should have been greatly wanting in courtesy, had I not informed you of the fact prior to my leaving Hongkong. I must confess to some astonishment as the Governor's laying before the Council (what he has called) my private opinion on a subject which was to be considered publicly, but his having done so entirely removes the reluctance I should otherwise have felt in alluding to what took place at what I. considered, and indeed was, quite a private interview.

As regards that interview, I am quite at a loss to conceive what took place at it, to have induced Mr. HENNESSY to arrive at the conclusions he appears, from the newspaper reports, to have formed. On officially enquiring why the promised papers had not been produced, I was, before I received a reply, courteously invited by the Governor to call at Government House to look through the docu- ments, which I believe had been prepared for printing, which I had much pleasure in doing. In ad- dition to the papers referring to deportation, His Excellency showed me a considerable amount of correspondence on the subjects and some despatches, or portions of them, from home; and it will there- fore be readily understood, as we also had much conversation on the above and on other topics, that I had not either time, opportunity, or inclination to go through the papers referring to deportation in a manner that would justify my at once forming the opinions I am stated to have expressed; in fact I was merely able to go through them in a very casual manner. It would not have been courteous or convenient on such an occasion for me to have expressed any dissatisfaction, had the perusal of the papers induced me to wish to do so, but I certainly refrained from expressing any satisfaction, though I believe I did express the pleasure I felt at the opportunity afforded me of perusing them, and with reference to a despatch on another subject, I did also express much satisfaction at its contents.

I therefore, much as I regret having to do so, must deny having said anything either to convey the impression that I was satisfied with the deportation papers, or that would justify the Governor in stating that I was so satisfied; nor did I say, that had I been in the Governor's place I should have acted exactly as he had done. While I must further state that His Excellency neither I owed to my mind that he had acted according to law, nor did I give him any reason for thinking I considered he had done so. As to having laboured under any misconception, I am not aware of having done so, nor can I admit that any such misconception would have been prevented had I, as it was suggested I ought

661

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

to have done, frankly asked what was going on. I observe the Governor is reported to have made use of the expression "going behind his back" to obtain it, in place of asking him for the information I required. Should the report be correct, I fearlessly leave the Hongkong community to decide, if I went behind any one's back in my endeavour to elicit the truth, or if the means I adopted were not more calculated to obtain what was wanted, than the plan suggested, although I may not have been entirely successful.

As I have not had an opportunity of seeing the papers since they were printed, I need not further allude to them; indeed, any expression of opinion on them by me is now unnecessary, and my only desire in the foregoing has been to correct the impressions that the Hongkong public must have received from what was said in the Council as reported in the China Mail, and I shall therefore be glad if you will make any use of this you may think desirable to carry out the object I have had in view in addressing you.

I need scarcely add that, as but one day intervened between my interview with the Governor and my departure from Hongkong, it was impossible almost for me to avail myself of the offer to look at the papers again.

I may name, that I consider it due to myself to inform the authorities at the Colonial Office that I have found it necessary to contradict Mr. HENNESSY's statements as reported.

I

am,

My dear KESWICK,

Your's faithfully,

H. LOWCOCK.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.-Gentlemen, I think you will all admit I have given to the Honourable member full opportunity of making his statement at his own time and according to his own manner.

It is the first I have heard of this letter of Mr. Lowcock. I will deal very briefly with it. We are now told there was no satisfactory interview with the Governor at Government House on the subject of deportation, but before Mr. Lowcock left the Colony he got this letter :-

HONGKONG, 28th April, 1879.

MY DEAR SIR, I send you an official reply to your letter on the subject of deportation. I un- derstand from the Governor that he had a satisfactory interview with you yesterday on this subject, and that in fact the latter part of my letter has been already acted on.

All the papers are, however, ready for your perusal again if you wish to see them.

The Honourable HENRY Lowcock.

I am, &c.,

W. H. MARSH.

My Honourable friend (Mr. MARSH) will recollect that I asked him, "Has Mr. Lowcock answered that letter?" And he said "no." And when the day came for Mr. Lowcock to leave the Colony, I repeated the question to my Honourable friend, the Colonial Secretary, and said, "Has Mr. LOWCOCK yet answered the letter I asked you to write to him stating we had a satisfactory interview on the sub- ject of deportation?" And he answered "no." I think my Honourable friend will answer "yes" to this question. Was the letter actually sent to Mr. Lowcock?

The COLONIAL SECRETARY.-Yes, it was.

His EXCELLENCY.-Yet, though that occurred on the 28th April, 1879, my Honourable friend (Mr. KESWICK) can read at this Council table a letter of that kind against the Governor, who has not heard since then officially or un-officially from Mr. LowcOCK. No acknowledgment either of the official letter or of the semi-official letter from that day to this! Is that the way Mr. Lowcock, as a man of business, ought to have acted? Would he have treated an ordinary commercial correspondent in that way? Is that the way he ought to have treated Mr. MARSH, and the Governor of the Colony? And now, after many months have elapsed, a letter from Mr. LowсOCK is read denying that any satis- factory interview took place. Not making any comment upon it I pass to the real merits of the case.

Honourable W. KESWICK Said Mr. Lowcock's letter was dated the 23rd July.

662

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

His EXCELLENCY.-Why did not the Honourable gentleman communicate it to me before? Mr. LowCock received on the 28th April the letter from Mr. MARSH, he leaves the Colony without one whisper against the statement made in that letter, that he, Mr. Lowcock, had had a satisfactory interview on the subject of deportation with the Governor; he remains in England, and to-day for the first time I hear the allegation that he went to the Colonial Office for I did not hear it from the Colonial Office and he there was to tell somebody what he did not venture to tell Mr. MARSH. He might easily if it were true have written to Mr. MARSH saying, "It was not a satisfactory interview; it lasted perhaps a couple of hours, but that was not long enough to let me see all the papers." He did not do so, and from April to July passes and then he writes that letter, and from July to November I am left in ignorance by the Honourable member (Mr. KESWICK ) that such a document exists. Instead of commenting on such a document, I pass to the real merits of the question raised by the Honourable member.

The Honourable gentleman has called attention to the case of CHAN TIN LAM. That case has attracted the attention of Her Majesty's Government. I hold in my hands papers presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of Her Majesty, in which there are two despatches relating to the case of CHAN TIN LAM. And now I tell the Honourable gentleman what it is he omitted, and what it is well the Council should know. To begin with, my allegation all along has been this, I deported whenever the Executive Council recommended me to do so, and when the sentences put before me as the justification of the deportation were lawful sentences. But I am not prepasred to commit an ille- gality, and in the case of CHAN TIN LAM it was not merely the fact that he was a juvenile offender, that is, that my Honourable friend Mr. RUSSELL and the late Mr. MAY were of opinion he was a juve- nile offender-he alleged he was over sixteen, but the Magistrates thought he was younger; that was not the mere fact in dispute, but I called the Attorney General's attention three times to the fact that the flogging sentences were illegal as well as the actual sentence of deportation itself. As regards the deportation sentence, the Honourable member (Mr. KESWICK) had all the papers in his hands, and the last few words in my hand-writing he did not tell the Council, "Let copies of all these documents and minutes be made for transmission to the Secretary of State." What was the opinion given upon the deportation sentence? That it was not according to Law. Did Lord CARNARVON disapprove of my conduct in not deporting the inan? He did not. But that is not the only case. How is it that the case of CHAN TIN LAM comes before Parliament? This case brought against me.-

Honourable W. KESWICK.-Not against you.--The Honourable member was understood to ex- plain that he had brought forward the matter, not as a case against His Excellency, but to point out an apparent discrepancy between the facts and statement that the advice of the Executive Council had been acted on.

His EXCELLENCY.-I never for a moment denied that I acted in opposition to the advice of the Council whenever the deportation sentence was illegal, and when some of the flogging sentences were also illegal. Now in the very despatch to the Secretary of State, of the 23rd June, 1877-which, if the Honourable member had come to me instead of bringing the matter forward in this way, I should have been happy to place in his hands and which after the course he has taken to-day I shall lay before the Council, I describe a similar case and mention the Ordinances referring to it. I then proceed to give my view of the matter, and I mention that when I first drew Mr. PHILLIPPO's attention to the illegality of the deportation sentence he called upon me and at that time did not take the view I took, and I deported the man, but subsequently, on further consideration, he admitted I was right, as a matter of law, and on the question being referred to Her Majesty's Government the final decision is that the deportation sentence in all such cases was not in accordance with law and Lord CARNARVON approved of my having called attention to that illegality, although in the first instance Mr. PHILLIPPO had not recognised it. The actual number of such illegal deportation sentences was small. I call- ed the attention of the Police Magistrates to the necessity of adhering strictly to the terms of the Ordinance in deportation cases. They acted on my instructions; and from that time the deportation sentences have been according to law. However, the point that struck me most in the case in the CHAN TIN LAM was not so much the fact that the deportation sentence was illegal, but that the man had been subjected to illegal flogging, and I specially called attention to one flogging inflicted by sentence of the Police Magistrate, which was in these words, "Four months' hard labour and twenty- four strokes with the rattan privately on the breech."

I wrote to Lord CARNARVON on the 23rd of June, 1877, sending him all the papers in CHAN TIN LAM's case.

I am not sorry that it should be brought forward publicly now. It was at one time the subject of much pretty gossip for two reasons. In the first place, after my despatch was sent to Lord CARNARVON some months elapsed, and then my private Secretary-who is in the room now--asked me if the answer had come in CHAN TIN LAM'S case, because, he said, a certain gentleman "has received a letter from a permanent official in the Colonial Office, who was formerly in Hongkong, and that gentleman says an answer is coming out in CHAN TIN LAM'S case in which Lord CARNARVON differs with the Governor as to whether the flogging was legal or not." I said no despatch had come; nor did it come until a subsequent mail. Well the despatch came, and then I found Lord CARNARVON did

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

express the opinion that the sentence of the twenty-four strokes was lawful. It was my duty, whoever had given that advice to his Lordship, to point out that it was bad advice; that this man was flogged as a juvenile offender; as he was a pickpocket and had never been accused of crimes of violence he could not have been flogged except as a juvenile offender for larceny; and I re-affirmed, with regret that the sentence was illegal. In the papers now laid before Parliament by command of Her Majesty this despatch is printed. It is as follows:-

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, October 17th, 1877.

MY LORD, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's despatch of the 28th August, 1877, respecting certain floggings that had been imposed on a prisoner named CHAN TIN LAM and a recommendation of the 1st Police Magistrate that he should be deported.

In my despatch of the 23rd of June I reported to your Lordship that on the whole I entertained such grave

doubts as to the convictions and sentences in this case that I declined to add to the various imprisonments and floggings which CHAN TIN LAM had fully undergone the further punishment of deportation, and I pointed out to your Lordship, what was patent on the face of the depositions, that the sentence on the 16th of July, 1875, of 24 strokes was illegal, as the local law precludes a sentence by a Magistrate in such a case of more than twenty strokes. On this, however, your Lord- ship remarks-

"With regard to the punishment of 24 strokes awarded in the second conviction, I observe that the charge was stealing from the person and not simple larceny, and as under Ordinance 6 of 1862, which was then in force, the Magistrate had a general power of awarding 36 strokes, I cannot determine that there was any illegality in this case in the absence of any explanation from the Magistrates; and I do not find that you drew the attention of Mr. RUSSELL to this point or called upon him for any explanations."

With great regret I venture, however, to re-affirm that the sentence was illegal. The Ordinance dealing with such cases was not, as your Lordship supposes, Ordinance No. 6 of 1862, but the latter Ordinance No. 9 of 1867.

On the receipt of your Lordship's despatch I made the following minute :-

"Refer the depositions in the case of CHAN TIN LAM to Mr. RUSSELL, drawing his attention to the second conviction for stealing from the person-16th July, 1875--when he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour and to be flogged 24 strokes with a rattan on the breech, and enquire under what provision of our law that sentence was passed."

The following is a copy of Mr. RUSSELL'S memorandum in reply

"This case was reported on from this department on 2nd June last, and to those reports I beg to refer. It was then pointed out that, although on the face of the proceedings the prisoner's age as given by himself was 21 years, yet that only 7 months before he had given his age as 15 when he was previously convicted, as appears in evidence by the incorporation of case No. 6,726 of 1874.

"The provision of law under which I sentenced the prisoner was the then existing Section 6 of Ordinance 9 of 1867.

"My note is '4 months' hard labour and 24 strokes of rattan privately on the breech.' By some oversight I neglected to state 'in two instalments' of 12 each. This is a mistake which I much regret.

"This blunder might have been detected by the first clerk or the Superintendent of the gaol at the time, but their not noticing it is not so surprising considering that it escaped His Excellency and the Members of the Executive Council (as would appear from His Excellency's memorandum to us of the 22nd June) as well as Mr. MAY and myself on review in June.

"Magistracy, 15th October, 1877."

"(Signed,)

JAMES RUSSELL,

Police Magistrate.

According to the gaol records this illegal flogging of 24 strokes was administered on the 16th July, 1875. Mr. RUSSELL expresses much regret for the mistake he made. He thinks his blunder might have been detected by the first clerk or the Superintendent of the gaol; and he refers to the fact that it appeared for a time to have escaped my attention.

664

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

That it should, at first, have escaped my attention is not surprising, for, though I detected other illegalities in the proceedings, I had hardly time (not being then four weeks in the Colony) to make myself acquainted with section 6 of Ordinance 9 of 1867. But that cannot be said for the experienced officers to whom I referred the case. My first minute is transcribed in paragraph 7 of my despatch No. 44 of 23rd June, and your Lordship will see that it was perfectly general; that it expressed surprise at some of the sentences, and asked the Attorney General to report on each of the four convictions and sentences.

Here I will interpolate this much to the credit of the Magistrate who had committed this error. In 1875, he had, as visiting justice, detected an illegality which had gone on for years and pointed out in the Justices' book the nature of that illegality, adding that Mr. TOMLIN, to whom he spoke about the flogging of prisoners who were not felons, had even at his request, refused to alter the practice, and the Magistrate added: "The Superintendent has incurred a grave responsibility, and it is my duty to call attention to it." The same gentleman, therefore, who on this occasion, by the oversight to which he refers, gave a man more punishment than he intended, that same gentleman is the man who, I am happy to say, detected an illegality that had gone on for years in another branch of the service.

The subsequent reference to the Magistrates was in these terms:-

"Refer to the Magistrates.

"30th May, 1877.”

"(Signed,)

J. P. H.

1

From what preceeded that minute it was clear that, though the Magistrates were expected to report especially on the question of ordering a flogging when the age of the convicted person was stated in the proceedings themselves as above 16, they were also expected to report on the other circumstances bearing on the four sentences.

I cannot accept Mr. RUSSELL'S view that such a blunder as he admits having made in this case might have been detected by the gaol officials at the time. It was only last week that I had a con- versation with Mr. RUSSELL as Coroner respecting an inquest he held on a prisoner named MOK A-KWAI who died in gaol of phthisis on the 28th of last month. He admitted (though no reference is made to it on the proceedings of the inquest) that the prisoner had been illegally flogged four times and otherwise illegally punished by the then Acting Superintendent. He appeared to be fully sensible of the fact that the gaol officials at that time were not over scrupulous in the treatment of Chinese prisoners.

On the question of CHAN TIN LAM'S age, in which I also think the Magistrate made a mistake, I shall do myself the honour of addressing your Lordship in another despatch.

In the despatch now under reply your Lordship says:-

"Neither the power of deportation, as the order of banishment is usually called, nor the sentence of flogging for crimes of violence, are penalties which in ordinary cases or for venial offence are in themselves desirable, but the circumstances of Hongkong are peculiar, &c."

I venture to point out that. the sentence of five floggings on CHAN TIN LAM were not for crimes of violence. Flogging for crimes of violence are imposed by the Supreme Court. The Magistrates in this case never alleged that their sentence had anything to do with crimes of violence. The accused was an ordinary pickpocket who, according to the depositions, carefully avoided using any violence.

I take the liberty of asking your Lordship's particular attention to the consequence of the illegal flogging in such cases as this. The Magistrate now says that the first clerk or the Superintendent of the gaol might have detected the blunder; and there can be no doubt whatever but the gaol officials must have been aware that the number of strokes given was in excess of what the law allowed in such cases. No laws are better known in Hongkong than the flogging laws, so that the criminal himself and the other prisoners knew also that it was illegal.

I need not dwell on how far the knowledge of such a fact and of its painful consequences in the recent case of MOK A-KWAI must necessarily affect the discipline of the prison.

Unless I can receive your Lordship's support in putting a stop to these illegalities, I fear my labours in endeavouring to reform the discipline of the gaol and to diminish crime will be seriously

increased."

I have &c..

J. POPE HENNESSY,

Governor.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 665

Then comes another despatch, also communicated by Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH to Parliament. MY LORD,-Adverting to my despatch of the 17th October, I have the honour to lay before your Lordship a copy of the Attorney General's opinion on the illegal flogging that had been inflicted on the prisoner CHAN TIN LAM.

Having, for the third time, referred the depositions in this case to the Attorney General, together with Mr. RUSSELL'S memorandum, Mr. PHILLIPPO at length recognises the fact that a mistake was made by the Magistrate, and that the prisoner received a greater number of strokes in a single flogging than the law allowed.

The Attorney General now says, "After Mr. RUSSELL'S admission in this case, I have no doubt "that the greatest care will be taken that no similar mistake should occur again in future."

I have no doubt the Attorney General is right in thinking that greater care will be taken by the Magistrates in future. Bearing in mind, however, the exceptional and severe code of laws in this Colony for the flogging, branding, and deportation of the Chinese, I shall certainly not relax my own efforts to prevent any illegal addition to the severity of that code.

I have &c.,

J. POPE HENNESSY,

Governor.

Now I am told, forsooth, that though this man has been illegally flogged, that though in the opinion of the Magistrates he was a juvenile offender and the deportation sentence was illegal, I should have acted on that sentence, or have devised some means, after the full term of imprisonment had All been served, of punishing him, some means such as twisting or stretching or breaking the Law. I can say is that no influence, here or elsewhere, could induce me to do so. As long as I have the honour to represent the QUEEN I shall not break the Law myself to punish the meanest of Her I have subjects, nor shall I allow others to do so within the Government committed to my care. very little doubt what will be the opinion of those who have already read these papers. They are laid, by command of Her Majesty, before both Houses of Parliament. I am ready to abide by the verdict of that High Court.

The Honourable member has called attention to another case, that of MOK A-KWAI. That, too, possesses many features deserving of the attention of this Council. The Honourable member thought the man had been let out, because I gave instructions on a certain day that no prisoner arrested by the Police for returning from deportation was to be prosecuted without my sanction. Why did I give these instructions? My Honourable and learned friend the Chief Justice knows well how it happened. He will remember what took place in a prosecution in reference to which he represented to me the inconvenience of the Executive being placed, as it were, in opposition to the Judicial Authorities, and he said:"Before a man is brought before me to be prosecuted for returning from deportation, why not look into the matter and see whether the sentence is legal?" Well, I acted on that advice. But, I took the advice of others beside the Chief Justice. Here is an extract from the proceedings of the Executive Council on the subject.

"With reference to the Deportation Warrants, some of which were declared by a recent decision of the Supreme Court to be illegal, His Excellency remarks that in the cases of deported Chinese returning to the Colony, before sending round papers relating to them to Honourable members, on having them charged before the Magistrate, he first sent the papers marked "Immediate" to the At- If the Attorney torney General to ascertain at once whether such men had been legally deported or not. General decided that the deportation had not been according to law the prisoner was at once dis- charged.

"The majority of the Council agreed with His Excellency that that was the best and most expe-

ditious course in such cases.

"The Governor would take this opportunity of again referring to the subject of branding which he had previously brought to the notice of the Council.

"His Excellency said he believed that Honourable members agreed with him that with the prac- tice of photographing prisoners, and with the proved efficiency of the Chinese Police, and the appoint- ment of Chinese Warders in the prison, the time had come when the practice of branding prisoners might be abandoned.

"Honourable members concurred with His Excellency in thinking that with the greatly extended facilities for detecting old offenders branding might be safely abandoned.

"The Council also concurs with His Excellency in his intention of expunging from the Consoli- dated Deportation Ordinance No. 8 of 1876 the provision in Clause XV which empowered a Magistrate at his discretion to order any person convicted of an act of mendicancy to be flogged to the extent of thirty-six strokes."

666 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

Therefore as far as that case of Moк A-кWAI stands, it is thus. I had a consultation with the Chief Justice. I acted upon his advice, not to allow the man to be prosecuted for returning from banishment, unless the original order of banishment had been legal. I subsequently referred the matter to the Executive Council, and the majority of the Council supported me in that course. But in that very case, the Honourable gentleman (Mr. KESWICK) by an oversight, did not look at the next page. He forgot to turn over the paper, and did not see my minute-"Let the man be prosecuted."

A

That is, I found the deportation in his case had been legally carried out, and accordingly I ordered his prosecution for returning from deportation. Does the Honourable member find fault with that? No. He admits he made a mistake in bringing forward the case of MOK A-KWAI. I certainly cannot complain that it has been brought forward at this Council table, seeing that it has been already placed before a higher Assembly by command of the QUEEN. MOK A-KWAI's case will be found in the despatches printed for the information of Parliament. I did not select those des- patches. They are a group of despatches-I am sorry to say only a few out of the many I have written since I came to this Colony-they have been selected by Her Majesty's Government, and some of them refer to the case of MOK A-KWAI; and, as the Honourable member has brought this case to the notice of the Council, I will state briefly what this case was. The last flogging the man got was of this nature. Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY'S warrant said: "Let the said MoK A-KWAI be discharged from custody and prohibited from residing in the Colony for five years from the date hereof." That was on the 21st October, 1876. In spite, however, of that, the man was not discharged on the 21st October. He was kept in custody until the 30th, on which day he was flogged and deported. But, more than that, he was taken from the Hospital to be flogged, and his name is recorded in the sick list of that day. The Honourable gentleman (Mr. KESWICK) was a visiting justice at that time. And, here I may mention that I found two other prisoners had been illegally flogged in July, 1876, and that the visiting justice, in August, 1876, who saw the records, if he did his duty properly and looked at the books when he visited the prison, was the Honourable gentleman himself. Twice only in that year, in April and August, did he act as visiting justice. Did he go through the books and see if any illegal punishment had, in the interval, been inflicted? If he did, he saw the illegal punishments and took no notice of them. But I presume the answer is that he did not. And in the opinion of Mr. PHILLIPPO, who, I must say, always gave his opinion with great reluctance in cases of this kind, the floggings were illegal. From a return prepared for me by Captain DUCAT, there were, according to the Attorney General's opinion, no less than 828 illegal floggings, of one class of illegal floggings alone, in ten years in the Hongkong Gaol.

MOK A-KWAI was committed for trial for returning from deportation. He died before he could be brought to the Supreme Court. An inquest was held. The Colonial Surgeon swore he had been suffering from phthisis for years. The Jury found he died from phthisis. I called for the records of the gaol relating to him. I saw he had been flogged four times. The last one being in October 1876. The papers were sent to the Attorney General, who recorded his opinion that not one of the corporal punishmens inflicted on MOK A-KWAI had been authorised by law. I reported all the facts of the case to the Secretary of State. I have endeavoured, and I believe successfully, in spite of some little local opposition to check such abuses. No one shall prevent me from doing so, as long as I represent Her Majesty, and enjoy the confidence, as I believe I do, of Her Majesty's Government.

It is due to Lord LYTTON, the Viceroy of India, whose name is put in a minute by Mr. PHILLIPPO, that I should say this:-that Mr. PHILLIPPO was not justified by the position he held here as my legel adviser-or, what is of more importance, by the plain facts of the case he was not justified in making that official minute on the conduct of Lord LYTTON. He said if I censured in any way the Magis- trates I should be guilty of the blunder committed by Lord LYTTON, who had censured a Magistrate who had lightly punished a European for killing a native. This has come out publicly to-day, as the Honourable member brought on the case relating to it, but it has long been known in the Colony. Nor in this case did I proceed to censure-which I might have done Mr. PHILLIPPO; but I sent for him, and said: “I will say nothing about your addressing an admonition to the Governor of the Colony, but here is your opinion about Lord LYTTON; that is copied for you by a clerk, it is the talk of the whole Colony; you did not send it in a confidential manner, but in an Ordinary C.S.O., seen and read by every clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office." Mr. PHILLIPPO, after some consideration, remarked that he was sorry he had given the minute to his clerk to be copied out, and he was also sorry he had sent the paper in an Ordinary C.S.O. and not in a confidential form. Though it was generally said by those who talked of his minute that Mr. PHILLIPPO deserved to be severely cen- sured, I did not censure him. No censure was pronounced upon any one-except that extraordinary censure upon Lord LYTTON. And I may say this: whatever may be the private opinion of Mr. PHILLIPPO and my Honourable friend (Mr. KESWICK) they are entitled to hold it, but as this admo- nition is recorded in an official minute, I am bound to say Her Majesty's Government entertain a very different opinion of Lord LYTTON'S conduct in the FULLER'S case, from the opinion of Mr. PHILLIPPO. So far from thinking that the Viceroy had committed a blunder, Lord SALISBURY, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, then Secretary of State for India, wrote to him saying the Government entirely approved of the course he had taken and the minutes he had made in the case, and the des- patch concluded by saying Her Majesty's Government desired to express to him their hearty sym.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 667

pathy in the line of conduct he was pursuing as evidenced by his action in that very case.

And yet that is the case brought by Mr. PHILLIPPO before me in an admonitory minute. And this identical minute is now, in November, 1879, paraded before the Council, as if the writer of such a minute was the sort of adviser a Colonial Governor should follow as an infallable guide.

I

I am happy to say I did find in Hongkong a safer guide in dealing with questions affecting the Administration of Justice, for I consult, not only my Executive Council, but I think it proper, to pay some regard to the views expressed by the Chief Justice. And I may say this, that I have never met any Chief Justice, in the Governments I have been administering whose public expressions of opinion- say nothing now of suggestions received from him privately-I think deserving of more attention than those of Sir JOHN SMALE. And therefore in sending to the Secretary of State one of these very cases, I thought it my duty to call the attention of Lord CARNARVON to the observations of the Chief Justice with respect to Deportation. What did his Honour say? He said "This Deportation Ordinance was passed in a season of panic. It was an extraordinary Ordinance and must be construed with extraordinary caution." Was I to neglect that advice, given from the Bench a few weeks after I arrived in the Colony? More than that, he pointed out-which really is a matter I am bound to consider for other reasons-the political consequences of deportations pursued, as the Honourable gentleman (Mr. KESWICK) no doubt would wish to have it pursued in all ordinary cases -its political consequences in China. His Honour said-

His Honour said "What about our treaties? If we take to deporting criminals are we acting in accordance with the treaties? The result may be that we shall give a ground to the Chinese Government to deport British merchants from China." And the Chief Justice made other remarks, all of which I thought of importance, and all of which I ventured to commend to Her Majesty's Government. Was I justified, after that, in dealing with deportation. otherwise than as an exceptional matter? The difference, after all, between the Honourable gentle- man and Mr. Lowсock and a few who agree with them and myself is only this: that I said that deportation should be regarded as an exceptional measure and should not be regarded as an ordinary mode of punishment; whereas I understand there are gentlemen in Hongkong who would wish to flog, brand and deport all Chinese prisoners. I prefer to deal with the Chinese prisoners according to law and in accordance with the advice of the Chief Justice, my own opinion, and the instructions of Her Majesty's Government.

These despatches have been laid before Parliament. Other despatches on this subject are also in the possession of the Secretary of State. All the minutes in the cases to which the Honourable gentleman has referred have gone home to the Colonial Office long ago. What conclusions, so far, have Her Majesty's Government arrived at? As late as the 9th July, 1879, Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH says:-"I concur with you in thinking this form of punishment should be regarded as of an excep- tional character and not to be employed in ordinary cases.'

27

But there is something more in this question than the mere fact that there have been illegal punishments, and an attempt, which has failed, and will continue to fail, to coerce a Governor into carrying out illegal sentences; something more than the advice of the Chief Justice or the resolutions of the Executive Council, and it is this, which I have never disguised in this Council, that on the manner of conducting deportation and dealing with prisoners and the remission of sentences will greatly depend the condition of your gaol and the suppression of crime. I have told Honourable gentlemen we have less cases of serious crime this year, and that the Inspectors report favourably as to the effect of the increased night duties of the Police Force on the prevention of crime. That I regard as the most important matter, but there is another point of special interest to the Chief Justice. I had not been many days in the Colony when I learned from him that during the Government of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON he knew, when he sentenced a prisoner, what was to be the duration of that sentence, but that since then (until my arrival) he was no longer certain as to the duration of the sentences he passed on criminals. The Chief Justice might give a desperate criminal nine years, and in the days of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON that man would have had to serve two-thirds of his time, but after Sir HERCULES ROBINSON left another system was introduced, without the knowledge or sanction. of Her Majesty's Government, whereby prisoners got a remission of their sentences after serving only one-half. Nor is that all. During the absence of my Honourable friend (Mr. TONNOCHY) it was not a question of half, but prisoners were being liberated who had served only one-third, and I hold in my hand papers on the subject, dated January, 1877. It is the first time the Chief Justice has seen them. The first application of this kind I got was in June, 1877, and that I directed to be at once referred to the Chief Justice for his opinion, and I find that the Chief Justice took, in his minute, the very point I had taken in a despatch to the Secretary of State when I reported the fact that there were 33 prisoners liberated on one day in January or February before my arrival. The Chief Justice had not been consulted about these cases, and the men were let out after serving one-third of their term of imprisonment.

Honourable W. KESWICK.-When was that?

His EXCELLENCY.-This was immediately before I arrived. In January, 1877, the recommenda- tion was made to let all these people be deported. In February the warrants were made out. Here is one man, IP A-FOOK, for burglary and larceny, had been sentenced to three years' penal servitude:

character in gaol, "very bad." And that man is liberated, deported, after one year and three months. And what was the history of that man? He had been convicted of larcency in 1874, for which he received six months. He was again convicted within a week of his release from prison, and what happened? Was he sent before the Chief Justice? Did he get a severe sentence? No. He was again sentenced to six months' hard labour. Well within two months of his release he commits burglary and larcency and then he gets three years. He was consistent, certainly, for his conduct in prison was "very bad.” And yet he gets released amongst this lot of prisoners-released without the knowledge of the Chief Justice, and against the rules framed by Her Majesty's Government. These are men who almost immediately return to the Colony, and in my despatches will be found the cases of men who, having been branded and deported, having served one-third of their term, came back to us very speedily. It is not more than a week since the present Chief officer at Kowloon came to see me about the state of the criminal class on the borders of this Colony and Kowloon, and he then told me that a number of the men who were hanging about the village in Chinese Kowloon without any employment had brands upon them which he was told showed they had been in Hongkong prison. But he also told me that they were within a few minutes' reach of the Colony. They could make a raid into British Kowloon at any moment, and they could reach the town of Victoria in an hour. Well, I took means to ascertain whether any of these men were in the habit of getting across our fronther to a village where there are a number of stonecutters close to our boundary, and a few days ago I instructed Captain DEANE to apprehend as many of them as possible. But not for the purpose of deporting them again, but for the purpose of having them brought before the Chief Justice, who will probably imprison them. It was only the other day I sent a minute to the Chief Justice and Magistrates on this subject. In the case of a man recommended for deportation, the Acting Attorney General (Mr. RUSSELL) said :-"Banishment is the only thing you can do, but even that will do no good; the man is sure to return." I called attention to the fact that this man had at one time been sentenced to some years' penal servitude for committing burglary in this Colony, and after serving a short time he was let out in one of these batches. He is brought before the Police Magistrates again in May, 1878, and convicted of having housebreaking implements in his possession at night. And what happens then? He gets a few monhts' imprisonment, instead of being sent before the Chief Justice to be dealt with as severely as possible. All I have to say to the Honourable gentleman (Mr. KESWICK) is this. He may rely upon it that I have paid some attention to It is one of the functions of the question of prison discipline and the suppression of crime. my office. I have been sent here to govern this Colony. I have some experience in the Govern- ment of Chinese, and believe nothing would be worse, more disastrous, cause more insecurity to life and property, than to take the advice of the Honourable gentleman and his absent friend Mr. LowCOCK. They are men of business, well qualified no doubt to conduct their own business, but in these matters, touching the administration of Law, I have to consult those whose lives have been devoted to the consideration of justice. Was I wrong, therefore, when in 1878, I took the responsibility-a grave responsibility of instructing the Captain Superintendent of Police to make such a serious change in the night duties of the Police as to increase the night beats and patrols 33 per cent. Was I wrong when I appointed a Committee of the Legislative Council including the senior un-official member (Mr. RYRIE) to consider the question of crime and police and report to me? The Committee say, great evils arise from the system of conditional pardons, that it is better to make the men serve out their lawful sentences, and furthermore, the Secretary of State says deportation should not be employed in ordinary cases, but should be regarded as an exceptional punishment. That Committee examined the whole question, had the witnesses and documents before them, and they arrive at the unanimous conclusion that the practice of deportation was not unduly relaxed during my administration.

I don't know that I can give the Honourable gentleman any further explanations. I am not to blame if the attention of the British Parliament has been drawn, as it has, by these papers to what has taken place in Hongkong. I was not one of the visiting justices. I am not responsible for having passed by these irregularities. I detected some of them, and have endeavoured to check them. I frankly confess I prefer the prevention of crime and the reign of Law to the clumsy system of illegal floggings, brandings and deportings. I have every confidence I shall receive the support of the Council, and especially of His Honour the Chief Justice in my endeavour to have none but legal punishments inflicted in our prison and I believe I shall have the support of every honest and intelligent man in the Com- munity in the effort I am making to prevent crime by seeing that our Police Force is properly handled and is kept up fo its necessary strength.-(Hear, hear.)

The ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL.-With reference to the CHAN TIN LAM case, your Excellency, may, perhaps, be permitted to make a few remarks of a personal nature as to the punishment inflicted. I was the unfortunate Magistrate who made the blunder, and I don't think any man could have done otherwise than say he had made a mistake. The Ordinance authorised twenty strokes. As a matter of fact, the man got twenty-one, but I do not found any excuse on the fact that he only received one stroke more than he legally might have received. I don't think any injustice has been done to me, but as this report has gone home to the Secretary of State I may say, with reference to the argument I used, that of course I used it as a defensive one. I was placed on my defence, and I put this forward

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 669

as a ground of extenuation. Your Excellency was looking very carefully through the whole thing, and this point escaped your observation, and the men who practically carry out the work, such as the chief gaoler and the clerk, are persons more likely to detect an error or omission than any one else. A Magistrate, with a large amount of business before him, makes a hasty order and trusts very much to his chief clerk, who makes out the formal warrants, and I put it forward that it was not so very odd it should have escaped me, as it escaped your Excellency. I am much obliged to your Excellency for having called attention to the fact that I had discovered and for which I think I deserved some credit-that Mr. TOMLIN had been flogging with the cat, but it is right to mention that at the time he produced an Executive order for that being done, so that exonerated him to some extent, which I think I did not mention at the time. With reference to the CHAN TIN LAM case, I could only say I was sorry I had made such a mistake, but I said, and still say, any man in that position might make such a mistake.

His EXCELLENCY.--I did not express the slightest censure, nor do I know; but what I did feel was that as the man had been illegally flogged, and as the deportation sentence was illegal, I ought not to add five years' punishment to the punishments already inflicted. My Honourable friend (Mr. RUSSELL) in referring to the minute on the irregularities in the gaol, said he thought he had not mentioned that Mr. TOMLIN had produced an order, but I think, if he refers to his memorandum again he will find he says:-"It is true that he produced an order from the Governor to authorize the flogging with the cat for breach of gaol regulations"-though the Ordinance says the rattan, but Mr. RUSSELL also called attention to the fact that Mr. TOMLIN had the preceding day flogged a man who was not a felon, which is a clear illegality, and he goes on to say: "I regret to say, when I pointed this out to Mr. TOMLIN, and told him it should cease, he said "I will take the responsibility of continu- ing it."

This I regard as a very serious responsibility on the part of the Superintendent, and I there- fore think it my duty to record it and ask for the intervention of the Executive.' I think great credit is due to my Honourable friend (Mr. RUSSELL) for having protested against such illegalities.

your own.

17

Honourable W. KESWICK.-It is a source of great satisfaction to me that I have brought forward this subject to-day. It has enabled your Excellency to make a statement which I am sure will be received with much pleasure. My object in bringing forward these documents was to correct any mis- apprehensions I might have as to the way in which the cases had been dealt with and the statement of your Excellency at the last meeting. Your Excellency appears to consider that my views with regard to many of the subjects in connection with punishment in Hongkong are of a character different from I am happy to say that in most of them, though your Excellency is of a different opinion my views and support have been with you. It is not often I make remarks on subjects like this. When I do make them it is with the object of obtaining information and correcting misapprehensions. I am not aware I have said anything but what was reasonable to be concluded from the reading of the papers which were laid upon the table. With regard to deportation, I have the strongest possible feel- ing it should be used most carefully. I don't for one moment wish to differ from the remarks your Excellency has made, with somewhat of a personal feeling to myself. There is no doubt that many criminals are transported to the Kowloon shore and there plot plants to the injury of the Colony. In making the remarks I did in introducing this subject, I did so with no desire to cast censure, but with a view of showing I thought there was a discrepancy between the acts and the words used when we last met. Much that has been said has dispelled that opinion-(hear, hear)—and I think further the change of system in the Police is one altogether to be approved of; and if your Excellency thinks I prefer deportation and the punishment of crime to its prevention it is a great error.

There is no more

loyal supporter of law and order in the Colony than myself, though I myself say it, and I am sure no policy advocated by me will have the effect your Excellency suggested of depreciating property dimi- nishing population, or increasing crime. On the contrary, I would have such sanitary improvements as are required carried out, and that splendid balance which your Excellency referred to and which it is very satisfactory to know exists-I should spend, because far more than $20,000 would be gained by having that money judiciously spent in improving the Colony, bringing water, and providing for other sanitary necessities. My policy, your Excellency, if I have one, is not that of interfering with the legitimate action of men, be they Chinese or Europeans, but I should like to see pursued a policy of firmness, of perfect disinterested punishment when punishment is due, that there should be no leniency shown to criminals when carrying out sentences; and when I alluded to some of the cases in which criminals have been cast adrift on the Colony I thought, as I think now, there might have been devised -or devised, perhaps, is not the correct word---but that laws might have been put in motion by which the men could be deported under a proper system—(Hear, hear.)

The CHIEF JUSTICE. This debate has certainly terminated in a way on which, I think, I may congratulate this assembly. That questions should be raised is, I believe, the healthiest thing that can happen in any Colony or any state, when they are raised in the way in which the Honourable member (Mr. KESWICK) has now raised them. I did not catch a word which I think ought not to have been used in fair debate, and I must say, on the other hand, that I think His Excellency the Governor, though the subject certainly in some respects touched him pretty closely, has avoided any language stronger than the occasion should call for (Hear, hear.) Î will not myself go into any of

670 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

the questions that have been raised, except to say that I believe that with regard to the question of the legality of deportation, I am responsible; but it is my business, sitting where I do in that Court, to take care that, punish-men how you will, they shall only be punished according to Law. And if I cannot punish them as I think they deserve, if I think the Law will not allow it, I have only to regret it, and say they must go unpunished. It is for this Council afterwards to say whether or not remedies shall be devised for any insufficiency of the Law, though I believe, on the whole, the Law pretty clearly provides for every wrong a remedy. I don't go into any of the questions, but I believe I am responsible for a good deal that has come out. (Hear, hear.) In the decision that the Court took I was certainly annoyed to find then deportation in the way it had been carried out was most illegal, and when it came before me I did not hesitate to say so. I am perfectly satisfied with the way in which the matter is dealt with now. I don't say there are not exceptional cases, but I must say there is no exceptional case on which the Governor does not do me the honour to ask the opinion of the Court. But it is no part of the business of the Judge to give advice, though he may do so if asked. If a man is sent to prison the responsibility of keeping him there, or the responsibility of letting him out early or late rests with the Executive. The judiciary ought never to express an opinion upon the propriety or impropriety of any conduct of the Executive. This is not my opinion; I don't in these questions generally give my own; I generally rest my opinion on that of eminent men; and though I go to a Colony for it, a Colony is perhaps the best for the purpose, and in Melbourne that was said by one of the best judges I know. Ever since I read what he said I have felt it is not the place of the Judicial Department to pass an opinion upon the acts of the Executive. They have various reasons for what they do, as to which the judiciary ought not, after having passed sentence on a prisoner, to pass a sentence on the changed sentence which the Executive may pass. A Judge may be asked what reasons there are why mercy should not be shown, where there are reasons presented why mercy should be shown, and I am sure His Excellency will always find me ready to give advice to the Executive in such cases.

The Council was then adjourned sine die.

The following Despatches were referred to in the debate on Deportation and illegal Floggings.

[No. 44.]

Governor Hennessy to the Earl of Carnarvon.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 23rd June, 1877.

MY LORD, I have the honour to lay before Your Lordship the papers relating to a proposed case of deportation in which I have felt myself compelled to decline acting on the unanimous recommenda- tion of my Executive Council.

2. The case arises under Ordinance No. 8 of 1858, entitled "An Ordinance for the Regulation of the Chinese People," and for other purposes. It begins with a recommendation by Mr. MAY, the 1st Police Magistrate, in which after reciting four convictions that had been obtained against a prisoner named CHAN TIN-LAM, Mr. MAY says:-

"The prisoner being an incorrigible thief and considered a person dangerous to the peace and good order of the Colony and having failed to give the security required of him I therefore respectfully recommend him as a fit subject for deportation under the provisions of Ordinance No. 8 of 1858, Sec- tion XXI."

For Your Lordship's information I here annex the Section in question:

"Section XXI of Ordinance No. 8 of 1858 any stipendiary Magistrate or Justice of the "Peace may cause any Chinese person to find reasonable security for his appearance in (4 any Court for any purpose at an any time within twelve months, and every adju- "dication to that effect shall be made in open Court and reported forthwith to His Excellency: and such Chinese not finding such security shall be deemed a person dangerous to the Peace of the Colony, within the meaning of Ordinance No. 9 of 1857." This last mentioned Ordinance gives power to the Governor in Council to deport for five years any person not being a natural born or naturalized subject of Her Majesty.

66

(C

4. In accordance with the practice I find prevailing here, this recommendation of the Magistrate under Ordinance No. 8 of 1858, Section XXI, is very properly accompanied, when sent around to the Members of Council and the Governor, by the depositions in the various cases alleged against the prisoner as the justification for the order of Deportation.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 671

5. The Magistrates recommendation and the depositions came to me in the usual course on the 19th of May, each Member of Council having recorded upon the papers his concurrence with Mr. MAY's recommendation.

6. Looking to the heavy penalty of five year's banishment and to the still severer penalties in- volved in an unlawful return from Deportation (a not uncommon crime in Hongkong) I have felt it to be my duty not to sign Deportation orders hastily or as matters of course: but to carefully consider the depositions and the proceedings of the Magistrates in each case.

7. Having done this in the matter of CH'AN TIN-LAM, I made the following minute on the papers on the 22nd of May:-

"I signed the last Deportation Warrant with reluctance, as one of the sentences that had been carried into effect appeared to be illegal. In this case I am also somewhat surprised "at some of the sentences that have been inflicted. Before signing the warrant I "should therefore be glad to receive a brief report from the Attorney General on each "of the four convictions and sentences which are now put before me as the justification "of the course I am recommended to take."

8. The cases to which I refer as being one in which I signed the warrant with reluctance, was where a sentence similar to the fourth on CH'AN TIN-LAM had been passed. I could not satisfy myself that it was according to Law and I therefore sent for the Attorney General and explained my difficulty to him. He had already recorded his concurrence in the sentence of Deportation; but he admitted there was something in the point I raised. At the same time he said he was bound officially to advise me that I should sign the order. He pointed out the inconvenience of a Governor interfering unduly with the discretion of Magistrates and he gave many weighty reasons why a Governor should avoid thinking for himself in matters of Law and Justice. Accordingly in spite of my own opinion, I acted on his advice, recording however the fact that I deported the prisoner in question with great reluctance. 9. In the case of CH'AN TIN-LAM, I discussed the details in Executive Council and also called for a written report from the Attorney General and this report is given on pages 33-40 of the papers I now enclose.

10. In his report the Attorney General makes the following admissions:-

"With regard to the 2nd conviction, I do not know that if I had been sitting as Magistrate I should have convicted." This however he qualifies by saying very properly, that the Magistrate having heard the evidence had better means of judging. He adds that the prisoner acted in a most suspicious manner, and that he has very little moral doubt as to his guilt.

"With regard to the 3rd conviction" he says.

"This conviction is I think so far as I am aware of the circumstances somewhat doubtful." And respecting the fourth conviction and sentence he says: "The latter portion of the sentence would seem to be incorrect inasmuch as the Ordinance only em- powers the finding of security for the appearance of the party charged in Court at any time within "twelve months from the date of the adjudication.'

(C

""

In spite of those admissions, the Attorney General concludes his report by expressing the opinion that he had satisfactorily disposed of any objections I may have entertained.

11. I had previously pointed out to him at a Meeting of the Executive Council that in addition to other defects in the proceedings, the prisoner had been flogged five times, the last three floggings being, in my opininn, open to grave doubt and I especially noticed the fact that the age of the pri- soner when sentenced to be flogged was recorded on the depositions as being 21 in one case and 22 in another, whereas the power of flogging was only given to the Magistrates in cases where the Court was of opinion that the accused was under sixteen years of age. I therefore referred the papers to him again; and then at his suggestion sent them to the Magistrates, Messrs. MAY and RUSSELL, whose proceedings were in question.

I

I

12. I transmit for Your Lordship's information the reports and observations of the Magistrates. gave them an opportunity of reading all the minutes that had been made; and as they now for the first time recorded their opinion that the prisoner was under sixteen in the year 1876, I asked the Registrar General, Mr. SMITH, who had seen the man in prison, to make an enquiry and report to me on the subject. I have also seen the prisoner myself and from my own observations as well as Mr. SMITH'S enquiry, I entertain no doubt whatever, but that the last three floggings were given to him when he was over twenty years of age.

13. The two sentences under which these three floggings were given, are in the following words :-

"4 months' hard labour and 24 strokes of rattan privately on the breech.”

"16th July, 1875."

"To be imprisoned for 12 months with hard labour and to be twice flogged on the breech, 10 "strokes each time. At expiration of imprisonment to find security 2 householders each $25, to be "forthcoming within 12 months, in default, case to be submitted to His Excellency the Governor with "view to deportation."

"20th May, 1876."

(Signed,) “( ;)

C. MAY. J. RUSSELL.

""

14. It will be observed that the second sentence does not state the instrument with which the As prisoner was to be flogged; whilst the first of these two sentences directs 24 strokes of rattan. this sentence does not sub-divide the number of strokes, it would seem to be at variance with the local law which precludes a sentence by a Magistrate of more than twenty strokes.

15. On the whole, I entertained such grave doubts as to the convictions and sentences in this case, that I declined to add to the various imprisonments and floggings which, the prisoner had fully undergone the further punishment of deportation.

16. Having so far reported on the enclosed papers and explained the course I felt compelled to take, I venture to ask Your Lordship's particular attention to two points of some importance. The first is the interpretation I have ventured to put on Ordinance No. 8 of 1858, Section XXI. In my opinion (and the Attorney General in his later opinion seems now disposed to take the same view) the adjudication to find security within twelve months should in each case be reported forthwith to the Governor and could have no legal prospective effect in contemplation of imprisonment. If I am right there have been hundreds of cases of this kind improperly dealt with by the Magistrates; for the second sentence I have quoted in a preceding paragraph (13) is the form of sentence pronounced week after week by Mr. MAY and Mr. RUSSELL, when they desire to add deportation to imprisonment.

17. The second point to which I ask Your Lordship's special attention is involved in an observa- tion officially recorded by the Attorney General on the enclosed papers. In his further report dated 12th of June, Mr. PHILLIPPO, whilst laying down many sound principles in which I entirely agree as to the relations between a Governor and Stipendiary Magistrates, gives me an admonition, hardly called for, I think by my minutes and action in the case; he refers to what has been laid down “within his own knowledge by the Colonial Office"; and he winds up by a warning in the following words :---

"Unless His Excellency is prepared to charge the Magistrates with criminal conduct in the matter, "to do more, as for instance to censure the Magistrates in any way for the manner in which they "exercised a discretionary power, (His Excellency will I am sure excuse me for writing freely) would "be in my opinion, to repeat the blunder, made by Lord LYTTON in India, when he censured and punished the Magistrate and to some extent censured also the Supreme Court for leniency in a case "where a native died after having been struck by a European.'

((

""

"(Signed,)

GEORGE PHILLIPPO, Attorney General.

18. No doubt Lord LYTTON's action in the matter to which the Attorney General adverts has excited a great deal of attention in the East. As far as I have seen, the great majority of intelligent and impartial Europeans in the East heartily approve of Lord LYTTON's conduct; and by the natives throughout India and the Oriental Colonies it is regarded with loyal and affectionate gratitude.

Governor Hennessy, C.M.G., to the Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, May 13th, 1879.

SIR,-I have the honour to lay before you a copy of the report* of the Medical Board I appointed under instructions from the Earl of CARNARVON to investigate the physical effect of the mode of flogging in the Hongkong Gaol, and the prevalence or otherwise of pulmonary disease in the prison. In the appendix to the report will be found a copy of the evidence taken by the Board, together with a copy of the Colonial Surgeon's observations on the report, a memorandum showing the air space in the asso- ciated cells where the Chinese prisoners are confined, a note giving the reason why the Chinese Govern- ment do not sanction flogging on the back, and some correspondence that had been laid before the Committee.

* This Report, with the evidence and enclosures, was laid before the Legislative Council and published in May, 1879,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 673

2. The Government was fortunate in obtaining the very valuable services, as members of this Board, of Deputy Inspector General WELLS, of the Royal Navy, and of Dr. O'BRIEN, the leading phy- sician in private practice in the Colony, two gentlemen whose great experience and professional skill command the confidence of the whole community.

3. Owing to the ill-health of Dr. WELLS for three months, and to the desirability of watching for a considerable period the physical condition of certain prisoners and the wounds that had been caused by floggings, the enquiry has been of necessity somewhat protracted. As the Government printers had other work on hand the printed copies of the report only reached me this month.

4. Unfortunately, on account of the imperfect statistics hitherto kept in the gaol, and for other reasons given by the Board, they seem to have had but little to guide them in the solution of the question whether flogging on the back, in the case of Chinese prisoners, has produced phthisis. They

say:-

66

"Apart from the questions put by us to the Colonial Surgeon, and the examination of the four men who had been flogged on the back, with imperfect statistics, we have little to guide us in the "solution of the main question does flogging on the back produce phthisis?'"

6

5. As to the special report Lord CARNARVON desired to obtain respecting the health of YEUNG-A- MAU, who was flogged in November, 1876, and LEUNG-A-LOI, who was flogged for the third time in March, 1877, as the former had left the prison the Board were unable to see him, and as to the latter, they find that he is suffering from phthisis, but they are not prepared either to assert or to deny that the disease was induced or developed by the floggings he received. Their words are-

"We find that LEUNG-A-LOI is suffering from phthisis, but we are not prepared to assert, neither "do we deny, the possibility that the disease in him was induced or developed by the floggings he received."

6. In its relation no doubt to pulmonary disease, the Board make the following observation on the important question of the air space in the cells:-

"In regard to the air space, we find that in the cells where many prisoners are locked up together "for the night, instead of at least from 1,000 to 1,200 cubic feet per man, the allowance is actually only from 482 to 775, and even bearing in mind the fact of only barred gates separating the cells from the corridors, we do not consider the air space and ventilation what it should be.”

CC

The figures quoted by the Board from Dr. AYRES' evidence (as he subsequently explains in his minute of the 15th October, 1878), represented the average cubic space of all the cells in the gaol, including those for Europeans, who are placed in comparatively commodious cells; and from the en- closed return of the measurement made in May 1877 of the cells where the Chinese prisoners are confined in association, the air space for the Chinese (184 to 221 cubic feet at the end of 1876) is far less even than the average allowance the Board think insufficient. For instance, the prisoner LEUNG A-LOI, about the time that he was flogged, had been confined in a cell in which he had only 221 cubic feet of air space. As Dr. WELLS and Dr. O'BRIEN think that the average cell space of the whole prison, 482 to 775, is not what it should be, and that each prisoner should have at least from 1,000 to 1,200 cubic feet of air space in this climate, it is manifest that the pulmonary disease from which LEUNG A-LOI now suffers, and which led to the deaths last year of MOK A-KWAI and WONG A-KWAI, may not be entirely unconnected with the insufficient accommodation in the prison.

7. It is satisfactory to notice that the Board speak well of the dry earth system which was recently introduced, and of the way the prison discipline is now enforced.

8. Whilst recording their opinion that the evidence submitted to them respecting the effect in producing phthisis of flogging Chinese on the back was most inconclusive, they say the action of Dr. AYRES, the Colonial Surgeon, in bringing the matter under official notice, was "most commendable.'

may here answer an inquiry made by the Earl of CARNARVON in the despatch of January 1878.

I

66

""

"I should wish to be informed," his Lordship says, "whether Dr. AYRES has ever, during his previous years of service, brought these facts to the notice of the Government, and if not, you will "desire him to explain why he has not done so."

""

A reference to one of the enclosures in Governor Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY'S despatch of the 28th February, 1877, shows thar Dr. AYRES brought this matter under official notice a few years ago. In his evidence before the Gaol Commission, which was transmitted in Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY'S despatch, Dr. AYRES, on the 17th January, 1876, said:-

"I think a cane is better than a cat, and flogging on the breech. It is much more severe, and 'less dangerous than when administered on the back. The men often complain of pains in the chest "and difficulty of breathing after being flogged on the back."

674 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

This evidence was not noticed by the Gaol Commissioners in their Report, but, of course, for that Dr. AYRES is in no degree responsible.

9. That the rattan in use in the Hongkong Gaol is a severer instrument than the cat appears to be also the opinion of Dr. WELLS and Dr. O'BRIEN; and, indeed, on the ground that it is too heavy a weapon and cuts too deep into the muscular tissues, they recommend a return, not to the knotted cat, but to a cat without any knots whatever. Of the rattan of the Hongkong Gaol they say:-

(6

(6

66

*

*

*

"It is generally forty-seven inches in length, but there is no regulation as to length. The ave- rage circumference is two inches.

We consider the 'rattan' too heavy a weapon, and its effects are very likely to go deep into the cellular and muscular tissues, probably producing loss of substance by sloughing, and thus for a long time delaying the healing of the wounds.

10. These gentlemen support their opinion as to the great severity with which the floggings with the rattan have been conducted by referring to some cases that came under their observation, one in which a prisoner flogged with the rattan on the 11th of May, 1878, was found, on the 3rd of June, to be suffering from "a secondary abscess that had formed over the left hip joint." Another case they describe in which the wounds were not completely healed in six months :---

(6

"A man who had been punished with 36 strokes of the rattan on the breech on the 1st March, "1878, was examined on the 14th May. The wounds were not healed; there must have been slough- ing from the evident loss of substance. On the examination on the 3rd of June, the wounds were "not then healed though the ulcerated surface was on a level with the surrounding parts and looked healthy. Dr. O'BRIEN saw this man early in September; the wounds then were not completely healed.

They refer to the case of another prisoner "who was flogged about a month ago, in whom the left "buttock healed rapidly but the right sloughed and a large ulcer remains, which will take some time "to heal."

(6

11. Having themselves been witnesses of those serious results, it is not surprising that Dr. WELLS and Dr. O'BRIEN should recommend that so severe a weapon should be abandoned. In lieu of this heavy instrument they recommend a cat "without any knots." The "cat" hitherto used in Hong- kong gaol had "nine tails" with knots worked on each "tail." They recommend in the case of prisoners under eighteen years of age that the flogging should be on the breech, but with a cat with only six tails and in the case of prisoners under thirteen years of age that a birch be used. In the case of all other prisoners sentenced to be flogged they recommend that the flogging should be on the back, but with important modifications from the former system, namely, that there should be a thick canvas covering to protect the loins and a thick canvas collar to prevent injury to the neck. By means of these canvas protections they say the blows will fall only "on the muscles covering the shoulder blades and the intermediate spinal space.'

""

12. Of the recommendation of the Medical Board I should be prepared (if flogging on the back were to be re-introduced) to support the substitution of a cat without any knots whatever for the more severe and injurious instrument hitherto used. I should support their recommendation with respect to prisoners under eighteen years of age being flogged only on the breech with a cat without knots or with a birch. But I cannot approve, even with the well intended protections they suggest, of flogging any orientals on "the shoulder blades and the intermediate spinal space." Therefore, as flogging on the breech or the upper part of the thighs alone should be allowed, it will obviously be necessary to use a rattan and not to permit the use of even the modified cat recommended by the Committee.

13. As pointed out by the Colonial Surgeon in his minute upon the report of the prisoners sentenced by the Supreme Court since 1873 to flogging on the back the Medical Board had only seen two: and as to the medical records in the gaol of the other cases of men flogged, Dr. AYRES says it had never been the custom before his time to make such records. Of the Chinese that he had himself seen flogged since his arrival in Hongkong in 1873, he reiterates the statement he originally made, "I am

sure of my diagnosis, as far as the congestion of the lungs is concerned."

(6

14. Of the two cases of MOK A-KWAI and LEUNG A-LOI, the Colonial Surgeon says in the same minute:--

"MOK A-KWAI released from the gaol in a dying condition, and LEUNG A-LOI still in gaol suffer- "ing from phthisis were both when they entered healty powerful muscular men, presenting no indications whatever of hereditary disease.

*

*

"To what then can the disease they were attacked with the attributed? I cannot myself regard "it otherwise than as caused by the punishment they had received; both of them were horribly marked, "their backs having sloughed from the extensive bruising."

15. Whilst there is no doubt whatever that the facts before the Medical Board as to floggings with the rattan two inches in circumference were sufficiently numerous and conclusive to warrant them in recommending the abandonment of that too heavy and severe weapon, and the substitution of the lighter instrument of a cat without knots, it is equally clear that the evidence they were able to obtain

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 675

in the gaol as to the physical injury caused to the Chinese by flogging on the back was extremely meagre. On the other hand, they do not appear to have thought it necessary to follow up an interest- ing piece of evidence I caused to be laid before them, that is an extract from the records of the Emperor FAI-TSUNG (A.D. 627-650) and an extract from the records of the Han dynasty to the effect that there was a risk of causing death by flogging on the back, and that therefore throughout the whole of China floggings should be administered only on the buttocks. More than a thousand years have passed since the Chinese Government abandoned, on this account, the system of flogging on the back; and, of the numerous Chinese doctors now residing in Hongkong, I have ascertained that, without exception, they all believe the practice of the Chinese Government to be founded, in this matter, on sound prin- ciples, and that to flog a Chinaman on the shoulder blades and the intermediate spinal space would involve a risk of injury to the internal organs.

16. The Committee take no notice of one point that was laid before them in the correspondence, namely, Dr. AYRES' second objection to flogging on the back, that it causes permanent scars which after liberation from prison would be seen whenever the man who had been flogged worked, as all coolies do here in summer, stripped to the waist, whereas if the flogging had been inflicted on the breech this lifelong exposure of a degrading punishment would not be continued after the man had left gaol. On this point Mr. Justice SNOWDEN, in a letter that was before the committee, writes "It seems Dr. "AYRES was speaking of the shame felt by men who after leaving prison might be obliged to expose "their backs bearing indelible gaol marks. If such is the nature of Dr. AYRES' objection I quite agree with him that it would be a reason for abolishing flogging on the back." Mr. Justice SNOWDEN adds "I quite agree with Dr. AYRES that flogging should be administered on the breech and not on "the back."

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

upon his His Excellency states that Mr. Lowcock had resigned his seat at the Legislative Council departure for England, and that he the Governor had, pending the signification of Her Majesty's pleasure appointed Mr. HUGH BOLD GIBB to the vacant un-official seat.

The oaths as members of the Legislative Council are then administered by His Excellency to the Honourable M. S. TONNOCHY and to the Honourable H. B. GIBB

His Excellency stated that on the orders of the day the Merchant Shipping Consolidation Bill was down for second reading and the Steamship Survey and Regulation Ordinance, 1878, for Committee..

As Honourable members would recollect he had on the 29th April, 1878, consented to refer both these Bills to a Special Committee of the Council, but with a request that the Bill relating to Steamship Surveys should be passed as quickly as possible. He had not yet received the Report of this Committee, and he reads a Minute written by himself on the 25th November, 1878, enquiring as to the cause of the long delay, together with the reply of Mr. SNOWDEN Chairman of the Committee explaining the state in which the matter had been left at the final sitting of the Committee owing to the illness of Mr. PHILLIPPO the Attorney General.

At the request of His Excellency, the Acting Attorney General states what he found to be the position of affairs upon his taking over the duties of Attorney General, and adds that in his opinion before proceeding further with the Bill it would be well to convene a further meeting of a Special Committee to settle one or two points that had apparently been left undecided by the Committee. After some discussion this course is agreed to.

With regard to the Steamship Survey and Regulation Ordinance, 1878, the Acting Attorney General stated that the sense of the Special Committee appeared to be that its provisions should be extended to Foreign Ships as well as British Ships. To do this involved important considerations, which he thought it would be well to refer to the Secretary of State before going into Committee on the Bill.

His Excellency reminded Honourable members that he had purposely caused the Bill to be ex- tracted from the larger measure with a view to its speedy enactment. The un-official members of Council however expressed the view that the Bill should be extended to Foreign as well as British steamers, whereupon His Excellency said he would refer the question regarding its extended application to Foreign Ships to the Secretary of State and would not proceed with the Bill until he was able to com- municate the Secretary of State's reply to the Council.

There is read a second time the Naval Yard Police Bill.

There is read a first time a Bill to amend Ordinance No. 1 of 1878.

His Excellency states that an error had crept in to the title of Ordinance No. 1 of 1878 in Section I, by dating it 1877 instead of 1878 and consequently a short amending Ordinance was necessary.

Upon the motion of His Excellency the standing orders are suspended and the Bill is read a second time committed and passed bearing the Title of "An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to amend Ordinance No. 1 of 1878,"-being "Ordinance No. 2 of 1879.”

Before proceeding with the Spirit Farm Bill which had already been circulated to Members of Council, it is resolved that it be first published in English and Chinese in the Government Gazette.

The following Reports are laid upon the Table by His Excellency the Governor.

The Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the operation of the Contagious Disease's Ordinance, No. 10 of 1867.

The Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the Supreme Court and its Officers. The Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into matters connected with Police and Crime. The Report of the Medical Committee appointed to enquire into the effects of Flogging Chinese on the back.

His Excellency in each instance details the reasons which had led to the appointment of the Commission and summarizes the conclusions which had been arrived at.

His Excellency further lays upon the Table the Correspondence called for by Mr. Lowcock at a Meeting of the Legislative Council on the 21st December, 1878, together with Minutes of the Executive Council and opinions and letters of the law adviser on the subject in connection with deportation, and takes the opportunity to explain at length the action which as Head of the Executive he had taken in connection with deportation, flogging and other matters, and invites the fullest reference to all those documents. If it were thought necessary to print any of the papers laid on the table, the Acting Attorney General, Mr. RUSSELL, would look through them and select those that came properly within the terms of Mr. Lowcock's notice. There is also laid upon the Table a Despatch from Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH regarding the appointment of Mr. HORSPOOL to be Chief Inspector of Police.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 677

His Excellency briefly reviews the financial position of the Colony at the close of 1878 shewing a surplus of revenue over expenditure and he points to the increase of tonnage in foreign bottoms as shown by the increase in the Revenue from Light Dues as indicating a prosperous condition of trade.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

THE NORDENSKIÖLD EXPEDITION.

The following, extracted from the Daily Press, is published for general information.

At the close of an official dinner given at Government House, on Saturday the 8th November, 1879, to Professor NORDENSKIÖLD and the Officers H. S. M. S. Vega. His Excellency the GOVERNOR proposed the toast of,

THE QUEEN,

Which was most loyally received, the band of the 27th Inniskilling playing the National Anthem. Immediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said-Professor NORDENSKIÖLD: In the name of my Sovereign, QUEEN VICTORIA, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions.to Her Majesty's dominions.

Six centuries ago MARCO POLO came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subse- quently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us, after sailing through the Artic Sea and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We behold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.

་

I congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain PALANDER and the officers of the Vega: I congratulate that great republic-the World of Science on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor NORDENSKIÖLD. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.

His Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the Band played the Swedish National Air. Professor NORDENSKIÖLD then rose and replied:-I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the muni- ficent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain PALANDER at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and MRS. HENNESSY.

The toast was duly honoured.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 12TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

THE NORDENSKIÖLD EXPEDITION.

The following, extracted from the Daily Press, is published for general information.

At the close of an official dinner given at Government House, on Saturday the 8th November, 1879, to Professor NORDENSKIÖLD and the Officers H. S. M. S. Vega. His Excellency the GOVERNOR proposed the toast of,

THE QUEEN,

Which was most loyally received, the band of the 27th Inniskilling playing the National Anthem. Immediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said-Professor NORDENSKIÖLD: In the name of my Sovereign, QUEEN VICTORIA, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions.to Her Majesty's dominions.

Six centuries ago MARCO POLO came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subse- quently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us, after sailing through the Artic Sea and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We behold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.

་

I congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain PALANDER and the officers of the Vega: I congratulate that great republic-the World of Science on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor NORDENSKIÖLD. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.

His Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the Band played the Swedish National Air. Professor NORDENSKIÖLD then rose and replied:-I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Papers respecting the Revenue from Houses of ill fame, have been laid before the Legislative Council.

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th November, 1879.

The Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P., to His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G.

HONGKONG, No. 24.

DOWNING STREET,

13th April, 1878.

SIR,-I have the honour to inform you that a question of which I enclose a copy has been asked in the House of Commons as to the Revenue derived under Ordinance No. 10 of 1867, from houses of ill fame in the Colony under your Government.

It has been alleged that the balance of the fund now in hand amounts to $50,000, and though I can scarcely think that such is the case, I should wish to have full information on the subject.

If therefore this point has not already been dealt with by the Commission, I request that you will either invite them to include in their report a statement of the condition of any fund that has been formed under the 66th Section of the Ordinance, together with any recommendation on the subject that they may think proper to make; or that you will obtain this information from the records of the Treasury and report to me at an early date the result of your enquiry.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

M. E. HICKS-BEACH.

To

Governor HENNESSY, C.M.G.,

&c..

&c.,

&c.

Extract from the Order Book of the House of Commons.

SIR HARCOURT JOHNSTONE. To ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether his attention has been directed to a recent outrage committed under the regulations of the Chief Inspector of Police at Hongkong, which is now forming the subject of inquiry by a Commission appointed by the Governor :

•

And, if he will cause special investigation to be made as to the manner in which the Revenue derived from licensing houses of ill fame is raised and expended for the Service of the Colony.

(Thursday, 4th April.)

His Excellency Governor Pope Hennessy, C.M.G., to The Right Honourable Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Bart., M.P.

No. 54.

GOVERNMENT House, HONGKONG, 1st July, 1878.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch, No. 24, of the 13th of April, enclosing a copy of a question asked by Sir HARCOURT JOHNSTONE in the House of Commons as to the revenue derived from houses of ill fame in the Colony under my Government.

2. I transmitted a copy of the despatch to the Commission on the Contagious Deseases Ordinance, and I also communicated with the head of the departments concerned, that is the Treasury and the Registrar General's department.

3. I found that the fund to which the second and third paragraphs of your despatch refer, has not been in existence for many years. The section of the Ordinance No. 10 of 1867 mentioned in the

694

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 19TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

despatch, by which brothel licences, and fines and fees from prostitutes were to form a separate fund for the purposes of the Ordinance, was not complied with: but such monies were treated as a part of the regular revenue and used for the general purposes of Government.

4. The commission having asked Mr. CECIL CLEMENTI SMITH, who is both Registrar General and Treasurer, to explain this, Mr. SMITH replied as follows:-

"From the year 1859 until the present time the revenue and expenditure in connection with "houses of ill fame have been included in the annual Estimates of the Colony which "have from time to time in due course received legislative sanction. Under what circum- "stances this arrangement was commenced I have no knowledge, but I recollect having "made some enquiry about it in the time of Sir HERCULES ROBINSON when I took charge "of this office and was informed that after consideration it had been so ordered by the "Governor."

5. Undoubtedly when the licensing of brothels was first proposed in Hongkong the formation of a separate fund was one of the conditions on which the Legislature agreed to the scheme, and Mr. CALDWELL, the former Registrar General appears to have formed such a fund. The Ordinances on this subject have been worked so much in the dark, and such exceptional powers have been exercised by the Registrar General, that it is not an easy matter to ascertain the circumstances under which this particular provision of the law was set aside. As far as the breach of Section 66 of Ordinance 10 of 1867 is concerned, Sir HERCULES ROBINSON can hardly be held accountable for it, as his successor Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL was the Governor of Hongkong when Ordinance 10 of 1867 was passed.

6. Last year, soon after I reached the Colony, I observed in that part of the Blue Book returns for which the Treasurer is responsible (page 22 of Blue Book for 1876) that the Fees from Brothels appeared to be treated as a Special Receipt. Having now, however, ascertained from Mr. SMITH'S answer to the Commission, that this was really not so, I instructed him, as the head of the two depart- ments concerned, to comply with the law and constitute the Fund without any further delay. I enclose a copy of the Acting Colonial Secretary's correspondence with Mr. SMITH, from which it will be seen that there will be no difficulty in doing this.

7. As regards the actual amount of money obtained from this source, and the amount spent on the Lock Hospital the Commissioners are getting full information from Mr. SMITH. Their calculations have not yet been completed, but the Chairman of the Commission tells me that he thinks it not unlikely that the sum mentioned in your despatch $50,000, will be found to have been gained over and above the cost of the Brothel System, when the expenditure for the purposes of the Ordinance is deducted from the total receipts.

8. In the question put in the House of Commons it is assumed that the occurrence which led to the appointment of the Commission took place "under the regulations of the Chief Inspector of Police at Hongkong" but the death of the two Chinese women was owing to the action of an Inspector of Brothels, who is an officer of the Registrar General's department, and, who is not under the Police authorities.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following copy of an Order of the Queen in Council dated the 14th day of August, 1879, exempting from measurement the ships of the Kingdom of Greece is published for general information. By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th November, 1879.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

AT THE COURT AT OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT, The 14th day of August, 1879.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

·

Whereas by the "Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships for the time being in force under the principal Act have been adopted by the Government of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificate of registry or other national papers, and thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be re-measured in any port or place in Her Majesty's dominions; but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measure- ment of tonnage of merchant ships now in force under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," have been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of Greece, with the exception of a difference in the mode in certain steamers of estimating the allowance for engine room, and such rules are now in force in that country, having come into operation on the 1st day of July, 1878, Her Majesty is here- by pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct as follows:-

1. As regards sailing ships, that merchant sailing ships of the said Kingdom of Greece, the measurement whereof after the said 1st day of July 1878 has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers and other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British sailing ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

2. As regards steam ships, that merchant ships belonging to the said Kingdom of Greece which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof shall after the said 1st day of July 1878 have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such steam ships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers or other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships; Provided, nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any such Greek steam ship desires the deduction for engine room in his ships to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the Greek rule, the engine room shall be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules.

犯監禁二年苦工

Tang A-lam of San-on, baker, aged thirty-two years, pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the Dwelling House of Kwok A-yow, at Yau-ma-ti, and stealing therefrom $32 and certain pieces of clothing. This prisoner admitted that he had been three times previously convicted, he was therefore sentenced to seven years' penal servi-

tude.

Lam A-wa of Kwai-shin, carpenter, aged thirty-three years, was found guilty of having, with two others not arrested, assaulted and wounded one Wong Yau-hing, on the road between Aberdeen and Victoria, and of having stolen from him certain articles of clothing. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

Ch'an A-shing of Tung-kun, street coolie, aged twenty-four years, was found guilty of having, to- gether with another man not arrested, assaulted one Yéung Hi-shing, on the Praya, and of hav- ing stolen from him Tls. 1.4.9 in broken silver. This prisoner was found to have been three times previously convicted; he was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.

Léung A-yau of Canton, coolie, aged twenty years, was found guilty of having entered the house of Lo Pò-yau, at Yau-ma-ti, at 4 o'clock in the morning of the 14th September, and of having stolen therefrom a box and certain arti- cles of clothing. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

Tang A-t'im of Kwai-shin, coolie, aged thirty- six years, was found guilty of having unlaw- fully taken away a boy named Fong Kwong-yau, aged four years, 1st with intent to deprive Fong A-kau, the father, of the possession of the boy, 2nd with intent to sell the boy, and 3rd with intent to procure a ransom for his liberation. The prisoner had been living at Shek t'ong-tsui, in the house of the father of the child, and being out of work, had latterly been entirely supported by him. He took advantage of the father's absence on one occasion to steal the child, who had been left in his charge and left him in a house at T'ái-p'ing-shán. The prisoner was sen- tenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, and to be kept in solitary confinement for a period of one week in every two months of the said imprisonment.

Ch'an A-chit of Tung-kún, widow, aged sixty-

因求兩

seven years, was found guilty of detaining a fe- male child named A-chéung, 1st with intent to sell her, and 2nd with intent to deprive Chau A-luk, the father of her possession. Another woman named Yéung A-sám had been committed

for trial, for having been concerned with the prisoner in the sale of the girl, but had died since

her committal. The prisoner had obtained the girl from a clansman of her mother, and had sold her to Yéung A-sám for $64. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard

labour, and to be kept in solitary confinement

for a period of one week in every two months of

the said imprisonment. Before passing sentence in this case, the Chief Justice referred to a Peti- tion, which had been presented to His Excellency the Governor, by certain of the Chinese Commu- nity of Hongkong, praying that the custom amongst Chinese, of buying and selling children should not be prohibited. His Lordship alluded particularly to a statement by the Petitioners, that the drowning of female infants was also a custom amongst Chinese, and warned the Chinese Community, that no Proclamation had or could

legalise in Hongkong this custom no more than that of buying and selling children, and that the Judge of an English Court would have no alter- native, but to sentence a person convicted of infanticide to be hung.

His Excellency the Governor in opening the Legislative Sessions 1879-1880 makes the following observations on the commerce and finances of the Colony :-

THE COMMERCE AND FINANCES OF THE COLONY.

2

HIS EXCELLENCY.-Gentlemen, in opening what I may call the Session of 1879-80 and laying before you the Estimates for 1880, my first duty is to briefly refer to the financial statement I made last year when introducing the Estimates for 1879. In September, 1878, I ventured to anticipate that the prosperity of the Colony of Hongkong would be shown at the end of that year by the shipping returns. This is one of the largest depôts of shipping in the world and the prosperity of the Colony is best gauged, no doubt, by the amount of shipping that comes into and leaves the harbour. In spite of commercial depression elsewhere, I thought we should have no reason to despair of the year 1878. It will be satisfactory for you to know that so far my anticipations have proved to be correct, and that the tonnage of vessels recorded as entering Hongkong in the year 1878 exceeds the tonnage that has been hitherto recorded in any year in the history of this Colony. I find in the year 1875 the total tonnage was 3,326,774, in 1876 this rose to 3,900,891, in 1877 it was 4,244,543, and in 1878 it reached 4,352,668; and the Harbour Master says that his returns show that the total tonnage entered and cleared at his office in 1878 was 8,982,593. The total tonnage cleared and entered in the year 1877 was 8,591,348, showing an increase of 388,245 tons. Now, to enable us to estimate the magni- tude of this commercial movement it is natural enough to compare it with the total tonnage entered and cleared in the United Kingdom, and I find that according to the last authentic returns before me that it amounted in the year 1877 to 51,531,000, whereas ours in 1878 was 8,982,000. In other words our tonnage, we may safely say, was something like one-sixth of the total tonnage of the United Kingdom. And another fact of interest is this, that if you endeavour to ascertain, which we cannot do here with accuracy, what is the value of this depôt trade, we find that in England, where they can do so, the total value of imports and exports amounted to £646,000,000, and as our tonnage is something like one-sixth of what it is in the United Kingdom, I think a predecessor of mine who estimated the value of trade of this Colony inwards and outwards at £100,000,000 was not far off the mark. And another gentleman who has a large knowledge of the commercial history and position of this Colony, Mr. GRANVILLE SHARP, in the early part of 1877, before I arrived in the Colony, printed a little state- ment respecting the commercial resources of the Colony, containing statistics of the leading import and export trade of Hongkong by which the probable accuracy of this estimate is confirmed. So far we have, therefore, no reason to complain of the year 1878.. And I may, perhaps, remind the Council that that was the year in which it was asserted, by some otherwise highly intelligent gentlemen, that there was great insecurity of property in the Colony owing to a policy of undue leniency on the part of the local Government towards the criminal classes. We now know, however that, as far as a flourishing revenue and a flourishing commerce are any indications of general security, the result has not been unsatisfactory.

With respect to the Oriental trade, the Harbour Master says:-"There has been a considerable increase in the trade between this port and India and Singapore, as well as with Japan." As regards the latter, I am disposed to think from what I have myself seen in Japan and ascertained from the merchants there, that the Japanese trade with South China and Hongkong will increase more rapidly, in proportion, than any other branch of our Eastern commerce.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

717

Now, gentlemen, with respect to the Estimates which I propose to lay upon the table, it has been hitherto my practice to submit from time to time the details of the Estimates to the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council, so that in fact the Finance Committee had before them the applications, more or less numerous, for increase of pay, the various applications of the Surveyor General for the expenditure of public money, and the applications of the officers who have the spending of money in other departments. But instead of pursuing that course this year I have, under instructions from the Secretary of State, adopted the course I am now taking, which is that of laying the Estimates before you on my own responsibility, and then, after the statement I make to-day, and to-day's pro- ceedings close, the Council will be able to adjourn when the Finance Committee can go through the Estimates, and then, at a reasonable time, the Council will meet and deal with the Appropriation Ordinance embodying the Estimates.

The revenue that my honourable friend the Acting Colonial Treasurer, Mr. TONNOCHY, anticipates for the year 1880 is based upon the actual receipts which he finds recorded in his books for the first nine months of 1879. My Honourable friend arrives at the conclusion that our revenue will reach the figure of $1,017,956. You will notice that under the head of taxes there is a falling-off. This is to be accounted for by the fact that under the head of Stamps I estimate for $115,000 only and under the head of Police assessment, Water rate, Lighting rate, and Fire Brigade rate, I anticipate receiving a smaller sum than was actually received in the year 1878. But, as you are no doubt aware, the falling off in the house tax arises from the fact, not that the Colony is less prosperous, not that we have fewer houses-for even in spite of the fire that destroyed 366 houses in December 1878 we have more houses at this moment than we had at any other period in the history of the colony-but it arises from the fact that last year I took the responsibility of reducing the rate from twelve per cent. to ten per cent. When I referred in my financial statement last year to the possibility of a reduction in taxation I drew your attention to the fact that there was a great difference between reducing such a tax as that levied on the native junk trade and reducing the house-tax, inasmuch as I stated that the former would require a legislative enactment, which it would be very difficult to go back upon, whereas the Governor in Executive Council is bound to review every year the question of the house-tax, and determine what should be the rate for the ensuing year. Therefore the reduction in that rate for the current year was not constituted a permanent reduction. I may inform the Council that an important proposal has been submitted to me by three gentlemen,-my Honourable friend the senior unofficial member (Mr. RYRIE), and two of the officers of the Government suggesting that water tanks be erected along the side of the hill overlooking the town to provide a supply of water for the extinction of fires. A de- putation waited upon me and expressed, on behalf of the community, an earnest desire that the views of that Committee should be carried out. I have reported that to the Secretary of State. The estimate for the proposed scheme amounts to $50,000, and if I am called upon to expend that sum for this purpose I think I may appeal to you, and the whole community that for getting that sum-or $30,000 at all events-I would be fully justified in asking the householders to contribute, and therefore it would be my duty next month, when I have to consider this question of the house rates, if Her Majesty's Gov- ernment approve of the expenditure, to re-impose the two per cent. to get the money to pay for that which is practically a fire brigade service, and of course affects, more than any other, the actual house- holders. At the present time you won't find this $50,000 included in the Estimates, because it requires the sanction of the Secretary of State; and you will see that the Colonial Treasurer has estimated the house-rates at the lower rate of ten and not twelve per cent.

There is a change, under the head of Postage. The amount of expenditure has increased and the receipts have also increased. On that subject it is only necessary to remind you that for some time past-for a year or two--there has been a question, which has not been discussed at this Council table, but has been discussed in another form, as to how far the Postal revenue is correctly stated on the Estimates. I entertain a decided opinion that we should deal with postal revenue as with everything else, that the Postmaster should include in his estimate of expenditure all the money expended, and in his estimate of receipts the gross receipts. However, he entertained a different opinion and handed in figures of a different character. This occurred during my absence in Japan. Mr. MARSH referred these figures back to him, pointing out what was the practice elsewhere, and what he himself, with his experience as Auditor General, thought was the proper one to be followed. On returning to the Colony, I therefore placed before the Treasurer the figures which the Audit Office had resolved upon on a careful investigation of the whole subject, which were the figures showing the gross receipts and gross expenditure.

The total estimated expenditure is $964,355, and as the estimated revenue is $1,017,956, the estimated surplus on the transactions of the year 1880 is $53,601. The most important change is that under the head of Police. Now the question of the Police Force in this Colony has engaged the attention of the Government more than once. We have had of late years two Committees or Commis- sions sitting upon the subject. I appointed a Committee presided over by my lamented friend, Mr. MAY, to investigate the question of Police and crime in the Colony. I had previously taken the responsibility, I think in August, or September, 1878, of giving instructions to Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent, to strengthen the night force, and I pointed out the desirability of having the night duties of the force increased thirty-three per cent. The Committee I appointed

718

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

examined Mr. DEANE, Mr. CREAGH, and a number of the Inspectors and other persons competent to give advice on the subject. No one indeed was more competent than the Chairman himself to form an opinion upon it. They arrived at the conclusion that the two-thirds night system, as it is called, should be tried, and that the system would probably tend to diminish crime, for they expressed a decided opinion that the Colony was not adequately policed at night time. Well, that report was laid before Her Majesty's Government, and about the same time, or indeed a little before that report reached the Government, they also received, from two important sections of the Community, the opinions of those sections upon that very question, as to the Police. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH received a memorial addressed to him by all the leading Chinese merchants of the Community, in which amongst other things, they expressed an opinion that the town had not been for some years adequately policed at night, and expressed a hope that he would sanction a moderate increase of the Police Force. On the other hand, a resolution was also laid before Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH in which some of the European section of the Community took a different view, and thought no change was necessary in the Police arrangements of the Colony. Well, that point has been considered carefully by the Secretary of State, and he has conveyed to me the decision that he approves of the two-thirds system of night duty, and he asks me also carefully to consider the question whether some increase ought not to be made in the Police Force. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH also points out that Mr. MAY'S Committee called attention to the fact that on one particular day in October, to which they referred, there were 105 members of the Police Force employed on what were called special duties, that is five or six at Government House, a few employed taking care of the Courts of justice, and in different parts of the Colony the Police were engaged in that way--my Honourable friend Mr. TONNOCHY had twenty in the Gaol-and in various ways 106 inembers of the force were diverted from what were really their proper duties. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH directs that these Policemen should be paid for by the different departments that were using them. Accordingly, in preparing the Esti- mates, I have charged the various departments with these Policemen who were formerly charged to the Police vote, and I requested Captain DEANE to state what increase in the force he would require, Mr. DEANE in his inasmuch as all the money not so required would be struck off the Police vote. minute expresses his views, and is content to have an increase of thirty-six men in the Police force. The sum which will be charged to the various departments, amount to $12,245. However, with certain reductions of salaries which you will see by the pay list—the net increase in the salaries of Police force will be $10,680, and there is a further expenditure for the present year of something over $11,000 in connection with steam launches for the Police. I have told you what the opinion of the Committee was. I am now able to give you also the opinions of competent persons in the Police force itself as to the actual results of this question of the two-thirds night duty. During my absence in Japan, the Administrator called upon Captain DEANE to let him know how this new system worked, and Captain DEANE reported as follows:-"I have collected reports from the different Inspectors, and their opinions coincide with mine, it has had a decidedly beneficial effect in diminishing the amount of crime during those hours." Chief Inspector HORSPOOL says he was always in favour of the two- thirds system, it was the system under which he worked in London, and it has been most beneficial here; and all the other Inspectors say the result has been most satisfactory and has diminished crime. Captain DEANE was of opinion he required a few more men so as to increase the day duties, and he is now content with the comparatively small increase of thirty-six. So far, I hope our Police system has been improved. I may add that the Senior Acting Magistrate informed me that during the time this system has been in operation, there has been a marked diminution in the number of cases of serious crime.

Now, gentlemen, there is one slight increase in the establishment charges which I am instructed to make in a despatch from the Secretary of State, No. 105 of the 15th August. Sir MICHAEL HICKS- BEACH was good enough to say.-"In consideration of the expense entailed on the Governor by the numerous entertainments he is called upon to give, I am of opinion the allowance made to him for lighting Government House, etc., should be increased from $1,440 to $4,800, such increase to date from the 1st January last."

There is another change which you will see, and which really does not involve any question of money, it is merely a transfer from one department to another department, and that follows from the fact that Mr. FORD is now placed at the head of the Botanical department. I shall lay before you the various minutes and papers which explain how it came to pass that Mr. FORD, arriving in this Colony in 1871 and being placed in the position to which he was appointed, and being in that position for some time, was subsequently, some two years afterwards, deprived of his position as the independent head of a department. For you will see that this was not known to Her Majesty's Government, but that when the attention of the Government was called to the position and duties of Mr. FORD despatches årrived the result of which is I now have to place before you a separate department at the head of which is Mr. FORD. The despatches of the Secretary of State, minutes, and some subsequent corres- pondence, will all be printed for the information of the Council.

With respect to the financial proceedings of the year 1879, I think my Honourable friend (Mr. MARSH) in his capacity as Auditor looked very carefully into what would be the result of the year's transactions and endeavoured to anticipate what they would be some months ago, and I think my

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 719

Honourable friend communicated a despatch to the Secretary of State during my absence in which he expressed his views on the subject, and what he anticipated from what he had then seen would be the surplus of revenue on the year. I think it was something like $60,000.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY said that was the amount; and he might add that he had looked over the figures for the third quarter, and they verified the result of the first six months.

His EXCELLENCY.-It is very satisfactory to me to know that an Honourable member of such great experience in Colonial finance should have verified so far my anticipations as to the prosperous state of revenue in the year 1879 and I think we may look forward with confidence to having a very respectable surplus at the end of this year's transactions. I believe our balances have continued to increase, and on that subject I may say in a whisper, which I hope will not reach Singapore, that in the Straits Settlements, with their opium farm increase, I notice there has been a serious diminution in the item of interest-in other words it seems their balances have been declining-ours have been increasing, and my Honourable friend anticipates an income of $20,000 in the year for interest, which is a far larger sum than has ever been received in this Colony before. Apart from ordinary local expenditure, I think it well, on Imperial grounds, that a Crown Colony should have a substantial balance in the Treasury chest. Contingencies may arise at any moment not contemplated in the usual items of Colonial expenditure. So far for the actual state of the Colony and our prospects. The Estimates, as I told you, will come before you in Finance Committee, and you will have to undertake the ungracious task of cutting down to any extent you may desire the various items of expenditure. It is, I think, a part of our constitutional system that members of Finance Committee are debarred from the privilege of proposing an increase or additional votes, but you can always exercise that power which members of the House of Commons exercise, or try to exercise, of cutting down votes.

His Excellency lays upon the table the Estimates for 1880 and moves that they be referred to the Finance Committee.

The appropriation Bill 1880 is then read a first time on the motion of the Colonial Secretary. Estimates referred to Finance Committee accordingly.

By direction of His Excellency, the Colonial Secretary proposed certain votes which had pre- viously passed the Finance Committee and which are now approved:-

Before the order for final detention is made, a copy of the report shall be served upon the master of the ship, and within seven days after such service the owner, or agent, or master of the ship may appeal in the prescribed manner to the Court of Survey constituted under Chapter III section 13 sub-section 8 of this Ordinance.

(e.) Where a ship has been provisionally detained, the owner, or agent, or master of the ship, at any time before the person appointed under this section to survey the ship makes such survey, may require that he shall be accompanied by such person of nautical, engineering, or other special skill and experience to be approved by the Governor as the owner or agent or master may select, and in such case, if the Surveyor or Assessor agree, the Gov- ernor shall cause the ship to be detained or re- leased accordingly, but if they differ, the Governor may act as if the requisition had not been made, and the owner, or agent, and master shall have the like appeal touching the report of the surveyor as is before provided by this section.

(f.) Where a ship is provisionally detained, the Gov- ernor may at any time, if he thinks it expedient, refer the matter to the Court of Survey. (g.) The Governor may, at any time, if satisfied that a ship detained under this Ordinance is not unsafe, order her to be released either upon or without any conditions.

2. If it appears that there was not reasonable and proba- ble cause, by reason of the condition of the ship or the act or default of the owner or agent, for the provisional deten- tion of the ship, the Governor shall be liable to pay to the owner of the ship his costs of and incidental to the detention and survey of the ship, and also compensation for any loss or damage sustained by him by reason of the detention or survey.

If a ship is finally detained under this Ordinance, or if it appears that a ship provisionally detained was, at the time of such detention, unsafe within the meaning of this Ordi- nance, the owner of the ship shall be liable to pay to the Governor his costs of and incidental to the detention and survey of the ship, and those costs shall, without prejudice to any other remedy, be recoverable in a summary way before any Stipendiary Magistrate for the purposes of this Ordinance the costs of and incidental to any proceeding before a Court of Survey and a reasonable amount in respect of the remu- neration of the Surveyor of the Governor shall be deemed to be part of the costs of the detention and survey of the ship, and any dispute as to the amount of costs under this Ordinance may be referred to the Registrar of the Supreme

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1879. 735

Court, who, on request made to him for that purpose by the Governor, shall ascertain and certify the proper amount of such costs.

An action for any costs or compensation payable by the Governor under this section shall be brought against the Attorney General in a suit instituted by the plaintiff as claimant against "The Attorney General" as defendant, and the provisions of subsections 2, 3, 4, & 5, of para. 83, chap- ter XIV., of the Hongkong Code of Civil Procedure shall apply to such suit.

3. Where a complaint is made to the Governor that a British ship is unsafe, he may, if he thinks fit, require the complainant to give security to his satisfaction for the costs and compensation which he may become liable to pay as hereinafter mentioned.

Provided that where the complaint is made by one-fourth, being not less than three, of the seamen belonging to the ship, and is not, in the opinion of the Governor, frivolous or vexatious, such security shall not be required, and the Governor shall, if the complaint is made in sufficient time before the sailing of the ship, take proper steps for ascer- taining whether the ship ought to be detained under this Ordinance.

4. An order for the detention of a ship provisional or final and an order varying the same, shall be served as soon as may be on the master of the ship.

(a.) When a ship has been detained under this Ordi- nance, she shall not be released by reason of her British register being subsequently closed. (b.) For the purposes of a survey under this Ordinance, any person authorised to make the same may go on board the ship and inspect the same and every part thereof, and the machinery, equipments and cargo, and may require the unloading or removal of any cargo, ballast, or tackle. (c.) The provisions of the "Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," with respect to persons who wilfully impede an Inspector, shall apply as if those provisions were herein enacted, with the substitution for the - Inspector of any member of the Court of Survey, Assessor, or Surveyor, who, under this Ordinance, has the same powers as an Inspector has authority to survey a ship.

X. Where a foreign ship has taken on board all or any part of her cargo at a port in the Colony, and is whilst at that port unsafe by reason of overloading or improper load- ing, the provisions of this Ordinance with respect to the detention of ships shall apply to that foreign ship as if she were a British ship, with the following modifications:-

(a.) A copy of the order for the provisional detention of the ship shall be forthwith served on the Con- sular Officer for the State to which the ship belongs.

(b.) Where a ship has been provisionally detained, the Consular Officer, on the request of the owner or agent or master of the ship, may require that the person appointed by the Governor to survey the ship shall be accompanied by such person as the Consular Officer may select, and in such case, if the Surveyor and such person agree, the Governor shall cause the ship to be detained or released ac- cordingly; but if they differ, the Governor may act as if the requisition had not been made, and the owner or agent and master shall have the ap- peal to the Court of Survey touching the report of the Surveyor which is before provided by this Ordinance; and

(c.) Where the owner, or agent, or master of the ship appeals to the Court of Survey, the Consular Officer, on the request of such owner or master, may nominate any competent person or persons to be a member or members of the Court of Survey, not exceeding two.

In this Section the expression "Consular Officer" means any Consul-General, Vice-Consul, Consular Agent, or other Officer recognised by the Governor as a Consular Officer of a foreign State.

other witness.

2. Every Master of a British ship who knowingly takes the same to sea in such unseaworthy state that the life of any person is likely to be thereby endangered, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, unless he proves that her going to sea in such unseaworthy state was, under the circumstances, reasonable and justifiable, and for the purpose of giving such proof, he may give evidence in the same manner as any other witness.

2. If any person knowingly sends, or attempts to send by, or carries, or attempts to carry in, any vessel, British or foreign, any dangerous goods, or goods of a dangerous nature, under a false description, or falsely describes the sender or carrier thereof, he shall incur a penalty not exceeding two thousand and five hundred dollars, to be recovered in a summary way before two Stipendiary Magis- trates sitting together.

3. The master or owner of any vessel, British or foreign, may refuse to take on board, any package or parcel which he suspects to contain goods of a dangerous nature, and may require it to be opened to ascertain the fact.

4. Where any dangerous goods as defined in paragraph I of this section, or any goods which, in the judgment of the master or owner of the vessel, are of a dangerous nature, have been sent or brought aboard any vessel, British or foreign, without being marked as aforesaid, or without such notice having been given as aforesaid, the master or owner of the vessel may cause such goods to be thrown overboard, together with any package or receptacle in which they are contained; and neither the master nor the owner of the vessel shall, in respect of such throwing overboard, be subject to any liability, civil or criminal, in any Court.

5. Where any dangerous goods have been sent or carried, or attempted to be sent or carried, on board any vessel, British or foreign, without being marked as aforesaid, or without such notice having been given as aforesaid, and where any such goods have been sent or carried, or attempted to be sent or carried, under a false description, or the sender or carrier thereof has been falsely described, it shall be lawful for two Stipendiary Magistrates, sitting together to declare such goods, and any package or receptacle in which they are contained, to be, and they shall thereupon be, forfeited, and when forfeited shall be disposed of as the Court directs.

6. The Court shall have and may excercise the aforesaid powers of forfeiture and disposal, notwithstanding that the owner of the goods has not committed any offence under the provisions of this section relating to dangerous goods, and be not before the Court, and has not notice of the proceed- ings, and notwithstanding that there be no evidence to show in to whom the goods belong; nevertheless the Court may, its discretion, require such notice as it may direct to be given to the owner or shipper of the goods before the same are forfeited.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

7. The provisions of this section relating to the carriage of dangerous goods shall be deemed to be in addition to, and not in substitution for, or in restraint of, any other enactment for the like object, so nevertheless that nothing in the said provisions shall be deemed to authorize that any person be sued or prosecuted twice in the same matter.

The above scale is for twelve months. For six months six-twelfths of the fee will be charged, for nine months nine-twelfths, and so on, at the rate of one-twelfth for each month; but no fee is to be less in amount than three-twelfths. In all cases of new steam ships, or of steam ships coming under survey for a passenger's Certificate for the first time a full twelvemonth's fee must be paid, notwithstanding that a ertificate for twelve months may not be required, and in no case of an incomplete declaration will less than three-twelfths be charged.

The fee paid in accordance with the forgoing scale covers any number of visits that a Surveyor may require to make before he is able to grant his declaration, as well as the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and of the marking of the vessel, which inspection must be made by the Surveyor before he can grant his declaration.

A special survey is to be deemed to be a survey requiring more than two visits by a Government Surveyor or Surveyors, or a survey in cases in which from age or any other circumstances there are reasonable grounds for doubting the seaworthiness of the vessel. Where the case requires unusual attention and occupies an unusual amount of the surveyor's time the higher fee of $30, and upwards will be charged, according to the special circumstances of the case and the number of visits made.

Where a declaration has been granted for a steam-ship under this Ordinance, the survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts will be made on payment of half the usual fee mentioned above. The fee paid in accordance with the above scale covers the inspection of the lights and fog signals, and the marking of the vessel, made at the time of survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts. It does not. however, apply to, or include, any inspection of lights, fog signals. or marking, made subsequently to such survey.

The fee for survey under the Chinese Passengers' Acts does not cover any survey of a steam-ship for a passenger certificate under this Ordinance, or measurement for tonnage, or inspection of crew spaces.

(c.) No such ship as last aforesaid shall proceed to sea, unless she is also provided with not less than two approved life buoys ;-

And such boats and life buoys shall be kept so as to be at all times fit and ready for use: Provided, that the enactments with respect to boats and life buoys herein contained shall not apply in any case in which a certificate has been duly obtained under the fourth section of "The Chinese Passengers Act, 1855."

2. In any of the following cases, that is to say:-

(a.) If any ship herein before required to be provided with boats, rafts of life buoys proceeds to sea without being so provided therewith, or if any such boats, rafts, life buoys, or other appliances for saving life are lost or rendered unfit for service in the course of the voyage through the wilful fault or negligence of the owner or master; or,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD DECEMBER, 1879. 777

Unseaworthy Ships..

IX. Where a British ship being in any port of the Colo- ny, is by reason of the defective condition of her hull, equip- ment, or machinery, or by reason of overloading or improper loading, unfit to proceed to sea without serious danger to human life, having regard to the nature of the service for which she is intended, any such ship (hereinafter referred to as "unsafe") may be provisionally detained for the pur- pose of being surveyed, and either finally detained or released, as follows:-

(a.) The Governor, if he has reason to believe on com- plaint, or otherwise, that a British ship is unsafe, may provisionally order the detention of the ship for the purpose of being surveyed.

(b.) When a ship has been provisionally detained, there shall be forthwith served on the master of the ship a written statement of the grounds of her detention, and the Governor may, if he thinks fit, appoint some competent person or persons to survey the ship and report to him.

(c.) The Governor on receiving the report may either order the ship to be released, or, if in his opinion the ship is unsafe, may order her to be finally detained, either absolutely or until the performance of such conditions with respect to the execution of repairs or alterations, or the unloading or re- loading of cargo as the Governor thinks necessary for the protection of human life, and may, from time to time, vary or add to any such order. (d.) Before the order for final detention is made, a copy of the report shall be served upon the master of the ship, and within seven days after such service the owner, or agent, or master of the ship may appeal in the prescribed manner to the Court of Survey constituted under Chapter III section 13 sub-section 8 of this Ordinance.

(e.) Where a ship has been provisionally detained, the owner, or agent, or master of the ship, at any time before the person appointed under this section to survey the ship makes such survey, may require that he shall be accompanied by such person of nautical, engineering, or other special skill and experience to be approved by the Governor as the owner or agent or master may select, and in such case, if the Surveyor or Assessor agree, the Gov- ernor shall cause the ship to be detained or re- leased accordingly, but if they differ, the Governor may act as if the requisition had not been made, and the owner, or agent, and master shall have the like appeal touching the report of the surveyor as is before provided by this section. (f.) Where a ship is provisionally detained, the Gov- ernor may at any time, if he thinks it expedient, refer the matter to the Court of Survey. (g.) The Governor may, at any time, if satisfied that a ship detained under this Ordinance is not unsafe, order her to be released either upon or without any conditions.

2. If it appears that there was not reasonable and proba- ble cause, by reason of the condition of the ship or the act or default of the owner or agent, for the provisional deten- tion of the ship, the Governor shall be liable to pay to the owner of the ship his costs of and incidental to the detention and survey of the ship, and also compensation for any loss or damage sustained by him by reason of the detention or survey.

If a ship is finally detained under this Ordinance, or if it appears that a ship provisionally detained was, at the time of such detention, unsafe within the meaning of this Ordi- nance, the owner of the ship shall be liable to pay to the Governor his costs of and incidental to the detention and survey of the ship, and those costs shall, without prejudice to any other remedy, be recoverable in a summary way before any Stipendiary Magistrate for the purposes of this Ordinance the costs of and incidental to any proceeding before a Court of Survey and a reasonable amount in respect of the remu- neration of the Surveyor of the Governor shall be deemed to be part of the costs of the detention and survey of the ship, and any dispute as to the amount of costs under this Ordinance may be referred to the Registrar of the Supreme

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD DECEMBER, 1879. 783

Court, who, on request made to him for that purpose by the Governor, shall ascertain and certify the proper amount of such costs.

An action for any costs or compensation payable by the Governor under this section shall be brought against the Attorney General in a suit instituted by the plaintiff as claimant against "The Attorney General" as defendant, and the provisions of subsections 2, 3, 4, & 5, of para. 83, chap- ter XIV., of the Hongkong Code of Civil Procedure shall apply to such suit.

3. Where a complaint is made to the Governor that a British ship is unsafe, he may, if he thinks fit, require the complainant to give security to his satisfaction for the costs and compensation which he may become liable to pay as hereinafter mentioned.

Provided that where the complaint is made by one-fourth, being not less than three, of the seamen belonging to the ship, and is not, in the opinion of the Governor, frivolous or vexatious, such security shall not be required, and the Governor shall, if the complaint is made in sufficient time before the sailing of the ship, take proper steps for ascer- taining whether the ship ought to be detained under this Ordinance.

4. An order for the detention of a ship provisional or final and an order varying the same, shall be served as soon as may be on the master of the ship.

(a.) When a ship has been detained under this Ordi- nance, she shall not be released by reason of her British register being subsequently closed. (b.) For the purposes of a survey under this Ordinance, any person authorised to make the same may go on board the ship and inspect the same and every part thereof, and the machinery, equipments and cargo, and may require the unloading or removal of any cargo, ballast, or tackle. (c.) The provisions of the "Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," with respect to persons who wilfully impede an Inspector, shall apply as if those provisions were herein enacted, with the substitution for the Inspector of any member of the Court of Survey, Assessor, or Surveyor, who, under this Ordinance, has the same powers as an Inspector has authority to survey a ship.

Foreign Ships, Overloading.

X. Where a foreign ship has taken on board all or any part of her cargo at a port in the Colony, and is whilst at that port unsafe by reason of overloading or improper load- ing, the provisions of this Ordinance, with respect to the detention of ships shall apply to that foreign ship as if she were a British ship, with the following modifications:-

(a.) A copy of the order for the provisional detention of the ship shall be forthwith served on the Con- sular Officer for the State to which the ship belongs.

(b.) Where a ship has been provisionally detained, the Consular Officer, on the request of the owner or agent or master of the ship, may require that the person appointed by the Governor to survey the ship shall be accompanied by such person as the Consular Officer may select, and in such case, if the Surveyor and such person agree, the Governor shall cause the ship to be detained or released ac- cordingly; but if they differ, the Governor may act as if the requisition had not been made, and the owner or agent and master shall have the ap- peal to the Court of Survey touching the report of the Surveyor which is before provided by this Ordinance; and

(c.) Where the owner, or agent, or master of the ship appeals to the Court of Survey, the Consular Officer, on the request of such owner or master, may nominate any competent person or persons to be a member or members of the Court of Survey, not exceeding two.

In this Section the expression "Consular Officer" means any Consul-General, Vice-Consul, Consular Agent, or other Officer recognised by the Governor as a Consular Officer of a foreign State.

Sending Unseaworthy Ships to Sea.

of giving such proof, he may give evidence in the same manner as any other witness.

2. Every Master of a British ship who knowingly takes the same to sea in such unseaworthy state that the life of any person is likely to be thereby endangered, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, unless he proves that her going to sea in such unseaworthy state was, under the circumstances, reasonable and justifiable, and for the purpose of giving such proof, he may give evidence in the same manner as any other witness.

3. A prosecution under this section shall not be instituted except with the consent of the Governor.

2. If any person knowingly sends, or attempts to send' by, or carries, or attempts to carry in, any vessel, British or foreign, any dangerous goods, or goods of a dangerous nature, under a false description, or falsely describes the sender or carrier thereof, he shall incur a penalty not exceeding two thousand and five hundred dollars, to be recovered in a summary way before two Stipendiary Magis- trates sitting together.

3. The master or owner of any vessel, British or foreign, may refuse to take on board any package or parcel which he suspects to contain goods of a dangerous nature, and may require it to be opened to ascertain the fact.

4. Where any dangerous goods as defined in paragraph I of this section, or any goods which, in the judgment of the master or owner of the vessel, are of a dangerous nature, have been sent or brought aboard any vessel, British or foreign, without being marked as aforesaid, or without such notice having been given as aforesaid, the master or owner of the vessel may cause such goods to be thrown overboard, together with any package or receptacle in which they are contained; and neither the master nor the owner of the vessel shall, in respect of such throwing overboard, be subject to any liability, civil or criminal, in any Court.

5. Where any dangerous goods have been sent or carried, or attempted to be sent or carried, on board any vessel, British or foreign, without being marked as aforesaid, or without such notice having been given as aforesaid, and where any such goods have been sent or carried, or attempted to be sent or carried, under a false description, or the sender or carrier thereof has been falsely described, it shall be lawful for two Stipendiary Magistrates sitting together to declare such goods, and any package or receptacle in which they are contained, to be, and they shall thereupon be, forfeited, and when forfeited shall be disposed of as the Court directs.

6. The Court shall have and may excercise the aforesaid powers of forfeiture and disposal, notwithstanding that the owner of the goods has not committed any offence under the provisions of this section relating to dangerous goods, and be not before the Court, and has not notice of the proceed- ings, and notwithstanding that there be no evidence to show to whom the goods belong; nevertheless the Court may, in its discretion, require such notice as it may direct to be given to the owner or shipper of the goods before the same are forfeited.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD DECEMBER, 1879.

7. The provisions of this section relating to the carriage of dangerous goods shall be deemed to be in addition to, and not in substitution for, or in restraint of, any other enactment for the like object, so nevertheless that nothing in the said provisions shall be deemed to authorize that any person be sued or prosecuted twice in the same matter.

VIII. It shall be lawful for an Inspector of Police having reasonable ground for believing that there is boiled or pre- pared opium in any ship within the waters of the Colony contrary to the provisions of the Opium Ordinances, (such ship not being a ship of war or vessel having the status of a ship of war) to proceed without warrant on board such ship and search for boiled or prepared opium and seize any boiled or prepared opium so found, and it shall be lawful for such Inspector to take the opium so found together with the person in whose custody possession or control it is found before a Police Magistrate, to be dealt with according to law.

IX. It shall be lawful for any Police or Excise Officer to arrest, without warrant, any person within the Colony whom he reasonably suspects to be conveying or to have concealed on his person boiled or prepared opium which has not paid duty to the holder of the exclusive privilege, and to convey such person to the nearest Police Station, there to be dealt with according to law.

X. Section XIV of Ordinance 2 of 1858 is hereby repealed; and in lieu thereof, it is hereby enacted:–If any charge or complaint shall be preferred under "the Excise Ordinance (Opium)1858-1879" or under any of the said regu- lations made thereunder and upon the said charge or complaint the accused shall be convicted, the pecuniary penalty imposed upon the offender shall, after the adjudication of a portion of the same not exceeding one half at the discretion of the Magistrate to the informer, be paid to the holder of the exclusive privilege, and all the boiled or prepared opium to

which the same relates shall be forfeited and by the Magis-

trate adjudged and delivered to the holder of the privilege.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH DECEMBER, 1879.

The Cadets are selected after a competitive examination by the Civil Service Commissioners, from amongst Candidates nominated by the Secretary of State.

2nd. Each Candidate must be between the ages of 20 and 23 on the first day of the Examination, and must satisfy the Civil Service Commissioners that he is duly qualified in respect of health and character. The Medical Examination does not ordinarily take place until the result of the competition is known, but Candidates may, by application to the Civil Service Commissioners, obtain permission to undergo it earlier.

3rd. The heads of examination are as follows:

A. Obligatory.

1st. Exercises designed to test Handwriting and Orthography.

2nd. Arithmetic, including Vulgar and Decimal Fractions.

3rd. Latin, and one of the following languages:-Greek, French, German, Italian. 4th. English Compositions, including Précis Writing.

5th. Pure and Mixed Mathematics.

B. Optional.

6th. Ancient or Modern History, and Geography.

7th. The Elements of Constitutional and International Law, and Political Economy. 8th. Geology, Civil Engineering, and Surveying.

Every Candidate must show a competent knowledge of the first four Subjects, and may

select any two of the Optional Subjects.

As at present arranged, a Cadet after his appointment will remain for one year in this country, and will be required to begin learning Chinese and to attend a class for students of Chinese at King's College; he will also be employed during some hours daily at the Colonial Office in the work of the Department. At the end of his year's study in this country the cadet will be examined in Chinese, and the confirmation of his appointment will depend upon his passing a satisfactory examination, and on his performance of his duties in the Office.

4th. Each Cadet will receive salary at the rate of £100 a year while studying in this country and a salary of $1,200 a year from the date of his arrival in the Colony. The cost of his the Colony will be paid, subject to the liability of repayment hereafter mentioned (Secs. 8, 9).

5th. After arrival in Hongkong he will be required to continue his study of the language. 6th. While thus studying, he will be under the control and supervision of the Governor of the Colony, who will frame regulations for his hours of study and general duties. Quarters, books, and teachers will be provided for him at the public expense, and he will be required to attend at the Public Offices for not less than two hours daily, while he is continuing his reading.

7th. As soon as he is declared by a Board of Examiners to have acquired a competent knowledge of Chinese, he will be employed either as an Interpreter or in such Department as may require his services, at a salary of $1,800 per annum, without other allowances, and will be considered eligible for promotion in the Civil Service of Hongkong on the occurrence of any vacancy which he may be deemed

suitable to fill.

8th. The progress of the Cadet will be tested by half-yearly examinations, and he will be liable to be dismissed without further pay, if he does not pass his final examination (see Section 7) within such time as may be fixed, or if at any time his progress or conduct shall be considered by the Governor and Executive Council to be so unsatisfactory as to render such a course desirable. The Governor and Council will decide, having regard to the ground of dismissal, whether the Cadet shall be sent home at the public expense, or shall be left to find his own way home, or shall be, in addition, called upon to repay the cost of his passage out:

9th. A Bond must be entered into by the Cadet and his friends at home with the Crown Agents for the Colonies to secure the repayment of the cost of the passage out, in the event of his dismissal and of its being decided by the Governor and Executive Council that such repayment shall be enforced; and also in the event of the Cadet within four years from the date of his arrival in Hongkong either quitting the Colony without leave or relinquishing his appointment (except for ill health), together with a further sum of £50 for each year to repay the Colony the cost of his teaching, up to his leaving.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

LONDON, 23rd October, 1879.

SIR,-I am directed by the Postmaster General to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th ultimo, transmitting for the consideration of his Lordship, a copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong, on the subject of the times of arrival and departure of the homeward Mail steamers at Hongkong, under the new contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company.

In reply, I am to state for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that when the Governor's Despatch was written, the scheme for despatching the mail packets under the new contract was not drawn out, as it is only within the last few days that the contractors have submitted a time table for His Lordship's approval.

That table is based upon a departure from Bombay on a fixed day (Saturday), throughout the year, the Indian Government having insisted upon such an arrangement, and according to it the homeward packet will leave Hongkong, on Wednesdays from 17th December, to the 7th April in- clusive; on Saturday, the 17th April, and the 1st May, respectively; on Mondays from the 17th May to the 6th September inclusive; on Saturday, the 18th September; and thenceforward to the end of the year on Wednesdays.

The hour of despatch throughout the year will be 11 P.M.

Copies of the Time Table shall be sent to the Colonial Office, as soon as printed.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Finding of the Marine Court appointed to enquire into the circumstances attending the collision between the British Steamship Amoy, Official Number 68,490, and the Hongkong Licensed Fishing Junk No. 1545, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th December, 1879.

FINDING.

We find that the Hongkong Licensed Fishing Junk, No. 1545, owned by Ho Shun Hoi, was run into and capsized by the British Steamship Amoy, Official No. 68,490, GEORGE HERMANN DREWES, Master, between 11 and 12 P.M. of the 2nd October, 1879, while the said vessels were about 20 miles W.S.W. of Chelang point, causing the total loss of the Junk and also the death by drowning of:-

The Master is entirely exonerated. The Chief Mate, FRANCIS PHILLIP AUBIN, is at fault for not having lowered a boat and gone to the Junk to see if the persons on board required any assistance, but his not having done so is partially accounted for by the fact of there being other Junks round her.

We are of opinion that the Collision is due to want of proper care and skill on the part of Mr. JAMES JOHN SULLIVAN, Second Mate and Officer of the watch, and we therefore adjudge that the Certificate of Competency of JAMES JOHN SULLIVAN, No. 660 of Hongkong, be suspended for a period of three months from this date.

Given under our hands at Hongkong, this 28th day of October, 1879.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.

In this case the Court have found that the Hongkong Fishing Junk No. 1,545 was run into and capsized by the British Steamer Amoy on the 2nd of October last, causing the total loss of the Junk and the death by drowning of three Chinese adults and three Chinese children.

2. The Court entirely exonerate the Master of the Steamer, but think the Chief Mate was at fault in not having lowered a boat.

3. The Court have also found that the Collision was due to want of proper care and skill on the part of the Second Mate and Officer of the Watch of the Steamer Amoy, and they adjudge that his Certificate, No. 660 of Hongkong, be suspended for three months.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH DECEMBER, 1879.

827

4. The Proccedings of the Court have come before me in a letter from the Harbour Master in which he says, that as the Certificate of the Second Mate has been suspended, the Proceedings require my confirmation under paragraph 5, Section 242, of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854.

5. I confirm the Finding of the Court, as far as it declares that the Hongkong Junk No. 1,545 was run into and capsized by the Steamer Amoy, that the Junk was totally lost and six persons drowned, and that the collision was due to want of proper care and skill on the part of the Second Mate and Officer of the Watch of the Steamer Amoy; but, looking to the evidence of the Chief Mate, who was on deck at the time, that he did not blow the whistle, nor order a backturn of the Engines, nor lower a boat, I cannot confirm that portion of the Finding of the Court relating to the Chief Mate, which in my opinion deals too leniently with that Officer.

6. It appears from the Master's statement, as herein recorded, that other Proceedings in this case have been settled by the payment of $2,000 by Messrs. SIEMSSEN & Co., the Agents of the Amoy. Looking to the somewhat unprotected position of the parties aggrieved, I cannot, as this matter has come officially before me, refrain from saying that the payment of $2,000 is an inadequate compensa- tion for the loss of the Junk and the six lives, and that I am advised that, if there had been no such settlement, the parties aggrieved would probably recover in our Vice Admiralty Court a larger sum.

4. The Proccedings of the Court have come before me in a letter from the Harbour Master in which he says, that as the Certificate of the Second Mate has been suspended, the Proceedings require my confirmation under paragraph 5, Section 242, of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854.

5. I confirm the Finding of the Court, as far as it declares that the Hongkong Junk No. 1,545 was run into and capsized by the Steamer Amoy, that the Junk was totally lost and six persons drowned, and that the collision was due to want of proper care and skill on the part of the Second Mate and Officer of the Watch of the Steamer Amoy; but, looking to the evidence of the Chief Mate, who was on deck at the time, that he did not blow the whistle, nor order a backturn of the Engines, nor lower a boat, I cannot confirm that portion of the Finding of the Court relating to the Chief Mate, which in my opinion deals too leniently with that Officer.

SIR, I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of your Government, copies of the two Acts passed in the last session of the Imperial Parliament relating to the discipline and the regulation of the Army, and at the request of the Secretary of State for War I have to call your atten- tion to Section 5 of the Act No. 32, and to suggest for the consideration of your Government that any local Act which may have been passed in the Colony for regulating the Militia or Volunteer forces, and which may contain a reference to the Imperial Mutiny Act, should be amended by substituting the Army Discipline and Regulation Act, 1879, for the Mutiny Act and Articles of War.

VICTORIA, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, to Our Right Trusty and Right Well-beloved Cousin and Councillor HENRY HOWARD MOLYNEUX, Earl of Carnarvon; Our Right Trusty and Well-beloved Councillor HUGH CULLING EARDLEY CHILDERS; Our Trusty and Well-beloved Sir HENRY THURSTAN HOLLAND, Baronet, Knight Commander of Our Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George; Our Trusty and Well-beloved Sir ALEXANDER MILNE, Baronet, Knight Grand Cross of Our Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Admiral in Our Navy; Our Trusty and Well- beloved Sir JOHN LINTORN ARABIN SIMMONS, Knight Grand Cross of Our Most Honourable Order of the Bath, General in Our Army, Inspector-General of Fortifications and Director of Works; Our Trusty and Well-beloved Sir HENRY BARKLY, Knight Grand Cross of Our Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Knight Commander of Our Most Honour- able Order of the Bath; Our trusty and Well-beloved THOMAS BRASSEY, Esquire; and Our Trusty and Well-beloved ROBERT GEORGE CROOKSHANK HAMILTON, Esquire, Accountant-General of Our Navy and Comptroller of Navy Pay;

WHEREAS We have thought it expedient, for divers good causes and considerations, that a Commission should forthwith issue to inquire into the condition and sufficiency of the means, both naval and military, provided for the defence of the more important sea-ports within Our Colonial possessions and their dependencies, and of the stations established or required within Our said sions and dependencies for coaling, refitting, or repairing the ships of Our navy, and for the protection of the commerce of Our Colonies with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with each other, and with foreign countries :

posses-

And whereas it is expedient to consider and determine in which of Our stations and ports it is desirable, on account of their strategical or commercial importance, to provide an organized system of defence, in addition to such general protection as can be afforded by Our naval forces; and whether such defence should consist of permanent works manned by garrisons of Imperial or local troops, or both combined, or of any local naval organization' or other armaments and appliances:

And whereas it is desirable to consider whether, and in what proportions, the cost of such mea- sures of defence should be divided between the Imperial Government and the Colonies to which they relate, or should be wholly defrayed by the Imperial Government or by the Colonies :

Now know ye that We, reposing great trust and confidence in your zeal, knowledge, and ability, have authorized and appointed, and do by these presents authorize and appoint you, the said HENRY HOWARD MOLYNEUX, Earl of Carnarvon; HUGH CULLING EARDLEY CHILDERS; Sir HENRY TURSTAN HOLLAND; Sir ALEXANDER MILNE; Sir JOHN LINTORN ARABIN SIMMONS; Sir HENRY BARKLY: THOMAS BRASSEY; and ROBERT GEORGE CROOKSHANK HAMILTON, to be Our Commissioners for the purpose of such inquiries as aforesaid, and that you may offer such suggestions as may seem to you inect as to the best means (regard being had to the works completed and in progress, and to the ordinary number of Our naval and military forces voted by Parliament), of providing for the defence and protection of Our Colonial Possessions and commerce as aforesaid, special attention being given to the necessity of providing safe coaling, refitting, and repairing stations in such of Our Colonial possessions and their dependencies as you may deem best suited for the requirements of Our fleet and mercantile marine in time of war.

And for the better enabling you to carry these Our intentions into effect, We do hereby authorize and empower you, or any three or more of you, to call for, have access to, and examine, all plans and designs for all works of defence now in progress or under Our consideration, or any other plans or designs that may be laid before you for the same object.

And We do give and grant to you, or any three or more of you, full power and authority to call before you such persons in Our civil, military, or naval services, or others connected with Our Colonial Possessions, as you shall judge likely to afford you the best and fullest information upon the subject of this Our Commission, and to inquire of and concerning the premises by all other lawful ways and means whatsoever.

·

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH DECEMBER, 1879. 837

And We do by these presents will and ordain that this Our Commission shall continue in full force and virtue, and that you, Our said Commissioners, or any three or more of you, may from time to time proceed in the execution thereof, and of every matter and thing therein contained, although the same be not continued from time to time by adjournment.

And Our further will and pleasure is, that you, Our said Commissioners, or any three or more of you, upon due inquiry into the premises, do report to Us, in writing, under your hands and seals, your several proceedings, under and by virtue of this Commission, together with what you shall find touching or concerning the premises.

And We further ordain that you, or any three or more of you, may have liberty to report to Us your proceedings under this Commission from time to time, should you judge it expedient so to do.

And for your assistance in the due execution of these presents, We have made choice of Our trusty and well-beloved HERBERT JEKYLL, Esquire, a Captain in Our corps of Royal Engineers, to be Secretary to this Our Commission, and to attend you, whose services and assistance We require you to avail yourselves of from time to time, as occasion may require.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH DECEMBER, 1879.

Sò A-fuk, of Nám-t'au, coolie, aged twenty-

four years, was convicted of having unlawfully

by fraud enticed away a child named Yéung

A-on, under the age of fourteen years, with in-

tent to deprive the mother, one Ch'an A-wai, of its possession. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour and to

be kept in solitary confinement for a period of one week in every two months of the said im- prisonment.

Chéung A-sam, of Wai-chau, seaman, aged twenty-four years, was convicted of having stolen from the Victoria Dispensary, a bottle of scent valued at $4. As this prisoner had been five times previously convicted, he was now sen- tenced to seven years' penal servitude.

Thomas Louis, of Hongkong, seaman, aged nineteen years, pleaded guilty to the larceny of certain articles of clothing, belonging to one Daniel Robertson, and to 'three previous con- victions. He was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.

Tsang Shun-i of Fuk-kin, merchant, aged thirty-nine years, and T'ám Tú-t'ong of San-úi, merchant, aged forty-eight years, were convicted of having on the 2nd November, 1878, conspired with one Ho Shiú-tin, an officer in the service of the Emperor of China, and Chü Fan, an inha- bitant of Canton, by subtle and fraudulent means to acquire from Wong Ming-léung, an expectant Major in the Army of the Emperor of China, large sums of money and to cheat him thereof. The prisoners had met together in Hongkong and induced a son of Wong Ming-léung, named Wong Kwok-chan, to give them a Promissory Note for $17,000 in exchange for one by the first pri-

soner for $13,600 which the prisoners represented

to Wong Kwok-chan to be as good as a Bank Note, although the first prisoner was at the time by Law insolvent. The first prisoner who was treated as a British subject afterwards by threats compelled Wong Kwok-chan to go before the English Consul at Canton, and by like threats forced him to falsely say that his father had sent

him to borrow the $17,000 and that the prisoner had lent him that sum whereby the English Con- sul was induced to and did write to the Manda- rin and requested him to enforce payment of the $17,000 from Wong Ming-léung. He, on being pressed for payment by the Mandarin, came to Hongkong and after an investigation lasting three days the Court found that no money was due on the note for $17,000, and found the two prisoners guilty. The Lord Chief Justice sentenced Tsang Shun-i to two years' imprisonment and Tám Tú-t'ong to one year's imprisonment each with hard labour. His Lordship expressed his deep regret that the respectable Major, Wong Ming-

léung, had been subjected to so much discredit and said he felt sure that the Major would not be annoyed any more on the subject.
