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 and 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.

The following Documents are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th January, 1880.

W. H. MARS?,

Colonial Secretary.

THE HONOURABLE THE COLONIAL SECRETARY TO THE INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS.

[C. S. O. No. 329.]

SIR,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 27th March, 1879.

　　　I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to forward to you, for your information, a copy of an extract from a despatch which has been received from Her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies detailing the decision at which he has arrived as to the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. I am to add that His Excellency will be glad if you would prepare a draft of the new Grant-in-Aid Rule in accordance with the Secretary of State's instructions.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Dr. E. J. EITEL,

Inspector of Schools.

Your most obedient Servant,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

EXTRACT FROM DESPATCH No. 15 OF 6TH FEBRUARY, 1879, FROM THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, BART., M.P., TO HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

　"I shall be willing to do my utmost to facilitate the acceptance by the Roman Catholics of the ad- vantages of the grants-in-aid by consenting to modify the language of the rules, as Bishop RAIMONDI desires, in the first seven points* which he has specified in his letter to Dr. EITEL of 10th July, 1878,

* Extract from letter of Bishop Raimondi to Dr. Eitel, dated 10th July, 1873.

Let me suggest the following alterations in the Grant-in-Aid Scheme published as a second appendix to Mr. STEWART'S last report.

1.--In the first line omit the word "Elementary." Schools that come under the higher standards are not clementary in

any sense of the word, and the use of the word might lead to complications hereafter.

2. In Section 1 § a strike out “Elementary.”

3.-In §f Section 4 strike out the word "secular" and let the clause read: "The time devoted to instruction in the

subjects of the standards is not less than four hours daily."

4.-In Section 2 § 6 strike out the words "provided they are either before or after the four hours of secular instruction required by this Code." If we improperly mix religious instruction with instruction in the subjects of the standards the examinations will show it, and we will suffer in pocket and in reputation.

5.--In § d strike out the word "secular." The concluding words of the sentence suthciently specify the kind of book

required. If the books are not what they ought to be, again the examination will show it.

6. In Section 4 § 6 the insertion of the word "paid" before teacher would obviate certain difficulties. The Superior of the Christian Brothers is at the same time Manager and Teacher. What you really want is to get hold of the responsible person, the master and not the paid servant, where there are paid teachers. In our schools, managed by priests and religious, there are no paid teachers. In Section 8 the same word or the word salaried ought to be introduced before the words "teacher" and "master" wherever they occur. A personal payment to one of the Christian. Brothers of a fourth of the grant is simply a payment to the Superior. The object of the clause is perfectly clear and perfectly reasonable, but is inapplicable to the teaching members of a religious congregation who have no divided interest.

7.-In Section 10 strike out the word "secular instruction" and let the Section read: "Grant will be made for definite

results in the subjects mentioned in the standards hereinafter referred to, and no other." 8.-In Section 14 substitute "the basis of education will be that the school is kept open for not less than 200 days in

each year and for not less than four hours per day of instruction in the subjects of the several standards.” 9.-In Section 15 strike out the word "and they may not be withheld without reasonable excuse."

If wo withhold children from examination for any reason, we get a diminished grant and a bad report. Why interfere further with our discretion or with the wishes of parents? Why make the Inspector an Inquisitor? 10.--In Section 25 the amount of the capitation grant needs reconsideration as previously suggested. 11.-We call the attention to these two facts: 1st that at home the ground for schools or something equivalent is given by the Government and a certain amount is fixed for building which should be determined also here; 2nd, in Singapore the standards are easier and the grant larger.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21st JANUARY, 1880.

THE INSPECTOR OF SCHOOLS TO THE HONOURABLE THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

INSPECTORATE OF SCHOOLS,

HONGKONG, 25th April, 1879.

It werdance with the instructions contained in your letter No. 329 of 27th ultimo, I have the to forward, under this enclosure, a draft of the new Grant-in-Aid Scheme, revised by myself on Ts of the Despatch No. 15, of 6th February, 1879, from the Right Honourable Sir MICHAEL Haen, Bt., M.P., to Governor POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

As regards Building Grants" I have drafted, in accordance with the Secretary of State's anton, a general regulation, which is simply an abridgment of the regulations introduced in Koriand under the "Code (1871) of Minutes of the Education Department."

for twenty.

I take this opportunity to direct the attention of the Government to another alteration in the nting Aid Scheme, which I beg to suggest and which is of no vital importance to the Scheine, but of utility in Hongkong. I propose to abolish rule 1, on page 1, "the average attendance is not This rule is borrowed from the English Code, but is quite unsuited to the peculiar of Chinese schools, in which class teaching finds but limited application, so that a teacher ly teach more than twenty boys effectively. More than one half of the Government schools of Clony have actually all along had an average daily attendance of less than twenty. To prove se a table showing the number of those Government schools, out of a total of thirty, in during the last five years, the average daily attendance was under twenty. This table is compiled

4. I should also like to direct the attention of the Government to the fact that the Hongkong now stands, rakes no provision for night-schools nor for industrial schools, which are d in England under the New Code of 1871.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, BART., M.P.

[No. 33.]

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, Hongkong, 29th March, 1879.

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 15 of the 6th of February, transmitting copies of two reports of Mr. STEWART on Education in Hongkong, and conveying to me your instructions with respect to the points raised in those reports and in some despatches I had written on the subject.

　　　2. I believe the decision you have arrived at on the various questions which from time to time I felt it my duty to submit for your consideration, will give very general satisfaction to the parents whose children are to be educated in Hongkong, and will undoubtedly place the public instruction of the Colony on a thoroughly satisfactory basis.

3. As to the Central School, I enclose for your information a copy of a minute in which I indicated my wish to have the revision of the School fees and the other points in the management of that im- portant establishment, determined as far as possible in accordance with Mr. STEWART's views.

4. In creating the separate Office of Inspector of Schools, with a salary of $2,400 a year, you say that you should have instructed me to offer the appointment to Dr. EITEL, but that I desired to employ his services in another capacity. The question of an Interpretation Department being however still unsettled, and as there is no other gentleman in the Colony whom I could recommend for the post, I have complied with the spirit of your instructions and provisionally appointed Dr. EITEL Inspector of Schools. I have informed him that in continuing the work on which he has been so usefully employed for the last twelve months, he is, in future, to have nothing whatever to say to the Central School, which will be under the sole control of Mr. STEWART. I enclose an Extract from the Estimates for 1879, showing that due provision has been made for the separate office of Inspector, whilst retain- ing to Mr. STEWART his full salary as Head Master.

5. Though in all that I have written or spoken on the subject of Education, the only suggestion of mine as to the separation of the Head Mastership of the Central School and the Inspectorship of Schools is contained in my observations early last year at the Central School, (Despatch No. 12 of 27th January, 1878), in which I expressed a preference for giving the Inspectorship to Mr. STEWART, yet I must admit that further experience has entirely convinced me that the deliberate decision now given by Her Majesty's Government is undoubtedly the best.

6. There is no one in Hongkong who possesses in so eminent a degree the qualifications essential for the responsible office of Head Master of the Central School; and by now devoting his whole time to the School, Mr. STEWART will, I have not the slightest doubt, render it a most valuable institution.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST JANUARY, 1880.

With reference to the objections, recently transmitted, of the Reverend Mr. KIDD, the Colonial and of Pastor KLITZKE, of the Berlin Mission, to the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, I believe they will ctually removed by the modifications you instruct me to make in the Scheme; and that, those Magers and the other Educationists in Hongkong, who on conscientious grounds were unable the Grants-in-Aid, will in future cordially cooperate with the Government in promoting public etection in the Colony.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

The Hight Honourable Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, Bart., M.P.,

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

J. POPE HENNESSY.

? THE COLONIAL CHAPLAIN TO THE HONOURABLE THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

THE CHAPLAINCY, HONGKONG, 4th March, 1879.

　　　　　　　I have the honour to request that you will inform His Excellency the Governor that I have opened *Shot for English boys.

　　　　　　This step was made almost necessary on my part, because, at the end of last year, the School thero carried on at S. Paul's College, the only School for Protestant boys in the Colony, was closed

Bishop of Victoria.

E the sake of English boys, whose parents are, for the most part, members of my congregation, and to provide some means whereby they might receive an education based on Church of and principles.

In taking this step I have received the cordial support of those for whom I made the provision. ter of English boys in the Colony is only limited, but I have now the names of 25 boys on hood list, and 19 are in attendance this morning. To show that the parents desire the kind of or for their children which I intend to give here, I may say that I was yesterday informed by Ang Inspector of Schools that every English boy had left the Central School (where secular tion only is given) to join my classes. From an experience of the Colony, dating from 1871, vinced that English parents here desire the establishment of a School, (I) where religion has and (2) where their boys can receive instruction apart from the Chinese.

I am sorry to say that I am unable to put my school under Government Inspection, and thus pecuniary support (under the Grants-in-Aid Scheme) which I really very much need. I scientiously give secular instruction only for the required number of hours per day, nor can the Bible and the Prayer Book from my Time Table.

I have determined to charge each boy a fee of $2, but, of course, the sum total arising from such will be quite inadequate to defray the expenses of the School. The School fees will probably to about $45 per mensem, but even under the present favourable circumstances, when I am personal superintendence to the School, and helping considerably in the class work, I have ged d to involve myself in a charge for masters of $88 per mensem. I calculate that the School quise ?300 per annum. I ought to say that the outlay, in commencing this School, for ks, forms, &c., has been great falling but little short of $250. Of course, this account considerably increased but for the fact that I give three rooms in my house, which is the ry only in the sense that I live here, and not because it is a residence provided for the Chap- lly or in part, by either the Government or the Community-for the purposes of the School. these circumstances I need hardly say that I should have been glad if I could have received

tantial aid from the Government.

We are prepared to teach in the School the higher subjects of Greek and Latin, as well as mathematics. Attendance at the School for Chinese is optional. Instruction is given in that to 4 P.M. daily (except Saturdays). I have engaged for my Chinese master a teacher

ald by the Acting Inspector of Schools.

armex the School Time Table, as well as the School prospectus.

so the Establishment of this School, which I propose to call the Chaplaincy School, has derably to my already sufficiently arduous duties. Responsible for the Cathedral Services, in to the Gaol, Hospital, and Cemetery, it is only a strong sense of duty which has caused ake a step which involves so much labour, as well as moral and pecuniary responsibility.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21st JANUARY, 1880.

I have only to add that on my arrival in the Colony in 1871, I set on foot, a Sunday School in connection with St. John's Cathedral which has proved very successful. The two Schools combined will, as I hope, be of lasting benefit to the English boys whose lot is cast in this Colony.

In the hope that the Establishment of the Chaplaincy School will receive the hearty approval, as I feel sure it will, of His Excellency the Governor.

I have the honour to be,

Sir, Your obedient servant,

The Honourable W. H. MARSHI,

Colonial Secretary.

R. HAYWARD KIDD. Colonial Chaplain.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 28th March, 1879.

Having placed in Mr. STEWART's hands the despatch of Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, No. 15 of the 6th of February, 1879, he has read the decision of the Secretary of State on the various points respect- ing Education in Hongkong raised in my despatches and Mr. STEWART's reports upon them.

2. Having thus before him the views of the Secretary of State, on the resolutions of the Education Conference, and on the question of raising the fees at the Central School, he will be able to let the Surveyor General know the probable number of pupils the new School should be built to accommodate, and, thereupon, Mr. PRICE can, at once, prepare the final plans and estimates for approval.

3. As to the future fees payable at the Central School, the Secretary of State thinks it might be sufficient to commence by raising the fifty cents fee to a dollar; but if Mr. STEWART should be of opinion that this increase is too much to begin with, I shall sanction (subject to the Secretary of State's approval) any other arrangement Mr. STEWART might prefer, so as not to materially diminish the number of his pupils.

4. Any other modification in the future arrangements of the School that Mr. STEWART might desire, shall also receive my most favourable consideration, as I believe the success of the School will mainly depend on leaving so able and experienced a Head Master as unfettered as possible in the arrangements and management of the institution.

J. POPE HENNESSY.

Notice is hereby given that His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to appoint provisionally and until further orders, A. B. JOHNSON, Esquire, to be Acting Crown Solicitor, during the absence on leave of Mr. SHARP, Crown Solicitor.

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th January, 1880.

No. 19.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Regulations as to Postage for the Australasian Colonies, made by His Excellency Governor JOHN POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., &c., &c., under Section XII of the Post Office Ordinance 1876, are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th January, 1880.

Postage to Australia, &c.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

1. The following changes in the Postal system between Hongkong and the Australasian Colonies (Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, and Fiji) come into operation on February 1st.

2. The Postage on letters VIA TORRES STRAITS, by whatever opportunity, is reduced to 12 cents per half ounce. Rates on other articles continue as hitherto.

3. Letter Postage VIA GALLE alone remains 24 cents per half ounce. Mails will be made up for this route by each French Packet, instead of by each alternate one as heretofore. The service from Galle is now fortnightly instead of every four weeks as before.

4. No mails whatever are despatched to Australia, &c., by British Packet.

5. Enquiries are frequently made if, when a steamer is going, say to Sydney only, correspondence can be forwarded for New Zealand, Tasmania, &c. It is notified that mails for every part of the Australasian Colonies are made up by every steamer which calls at any one of them.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21st JANUARY, 1880.

In the hope that the Establishment of the Chaplaincy School will receive the hearty approval, as I feel sure it will, of His Excellency the Governor.

I have the honour to be,

Sir, Your obedient servant,

The Honourable W. H. MARSHI,

Colonial Secretary.

R. HAYWARD KIDD. Colonial Chaplain.

VISIT TO HONGKONG OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL

LAU KWAN-YIH.

The following is extracted from the report in the "Daily Press. "

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1880.

e various occasions paid visits to Government House on passing through the Colony en route me other place, this visit of Viceroy LAU is certainly the first instance in the history of Hongkong sy which a Chinese dignitary of such high rank has gone out of his way to come expressly and write his personal friendship with an English Governor and his sense of the entente cordiale between Bangkong and Canton Governments. It is evident that Chinese officials consider that the position invernor HENNESSY has all along taken in his relations to the Chinese Government as well as o Chinese population of this Colony, has materially contributed towards cementing the friendship Margy existing between England and China. The Marquis of TSENG gave utterance to this feeling passing through Hongkong en route for London. CHUNG How repeated the same sentiment on visit to Government House a few weeks ago; whilst LI HUNG-CHANG and TING YII-CH'ANG have in private correspondence expressed in similar terms their recognition of the attitude Mr. HENNESSY As taken in Chinese affairs.

Last Friday night, shortly before midnight, Viceroy LAU arrived in harbour, without previous uncement of any sort, direct from Canton, accompanied by a small flotilla of gunboats.. Early en baterky morning he sent word to Government House that, having handed over the seals of office to bis successor in the Vice-royalty of the Two Kwang provinces, and not yet having taken over the of the Vice-royalty of the three provinces of Central China to which he had been appointed, he himself of the only spare day he had before his official departure from Canton, to come in person to Hongkong in order to reciprocate the feelings of personal friendship which had sprung up Lesen Governor HENNESSY and himself since his tenure of office in Canton, and to thank him for the great influence which his Chinese policy in Hongkong has exercised towards cementing the good relations existing between the Governments of China and England. His Excellency the Governor Best Major PALMER, A.D.C., at once on board, to arrange the time and place of landing, and twelve ek was fixed as the time when Viceroy LAU was to land at Murray Pier. The Commandant of the saghturing town of Kaulung, Colonel LAI, applied for and received permission to land a company

marines at the pier, to act as escort to the Viceroy. Half a dozen Chinese military officers. ? the Viceroy's staff landed their strangely caparisoned steeds and awaited the landing of their chief. Isa drew a large crowd of Chinese spectators, although the population were generally unaware of the arro al cf the Viceroy, the Chinese papers of Saturday morning having announced that Viceroy Lau wald pass through Hongkong the following week on his way to Peking. Owing to the presence of the Chinese marines and military officers, who crowded the pier, the guard of honour furnished by Her Majesty's 27th Inniskillings drew up at the corner of Murray Barracks, to salute the distinguished

A few minutes before noon, the Viceroy landed at Murray Pier, where Major PALMER, R.E., A I.C., Dr. EITEL, the Governor's Chinese Secretary, and the Canton Commissioner of Customs were waiting. As His Excellency left the Tsing-po, a salute was fired from H.M.S. Victor Emanuel, on landing he was received with a salute from the Royal Artillery at the Wellington Battery. ?le Viceroy was accompanied by his Aides-de-Camp, Colonel LAI, and Major U TA-SHING and hist rpreter, Mr. Sien YAO-KWANG, Acting Assistant Magistrate of the Nam Hoi District. Sedan Casira sent from Government House were provided for the whole party, but the Viceroy preferred his dan chair. Two officers of the Viceroy's staff, with a Deputy officer, Mr. CH'EN SUNG-SHU, tok ?statnand of the escort. The procession formed without difficulty in the following order :---First, are a party of Chinese Marines armed with Snider rifles; next, twelve of the Viceroy's private ser- ?ants, without arms; then, six staff officers on horseback, followed by an enormous red umbrella borne by to men who walked in front of the Viceroy's sedan chair and its eight bearers. Next followed e more staff officers on horseback; next the Viceroy's Aide-de-Camp and his interpreter, whilst Card Lat and Sub-Magistrate WONG of Kowloong City with some of their subordinate officers, *d the procession, which presented a rather picturesque aspect as it slowly wound its way towards *exement House, the whole length of the road being lined by Police Constables placed at intervals ***** paris. On reaching Murray Barracks, where the guard of honour with the band were sta- tooted, the Viceroy gracefully bowed to the colours and to the officers, as the troops presented arms. A card of honour of Sikh armed police was drawn up under the portico of Government House, and ewed arms as the Viceroy ascended the steps, where His Excellency the Governor, in Court uni-

xived his illustrious guest, and conducted him forthwith into the drawing-room, where the Ners of Council were successively introduced to the Viceroy. Amongst the company assembled ve His Excellency were, His Excellency Major General DONOVAN, His Honour Chief Justice JOHN SMALE, Commodore SMITH, R.N., the Honourable W. H. MARSH, Colonial Secretary,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH JANUARY, 1880.

　Honourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney-General, Honourable J. M. PRICE, Surveyor-General, Honourable M. S. TONNOCHY, Acting Colonial Treasurer, Honourable P. RYRIE, M.L.C., Honour- able NG CHOY, M.L.C., Commander CHING, R.N., H.M.S. Iron Duke, Commander SALMOND, R.N., H.M.S. Midge, Commander EDWARDS, R.N., H.M.S. Kestrel, Commander EVANS, R.N., H.M.S. Hart, Lieut. Commander BRIDGER, R.N., H.M.S. Sheldrake, Lieut. CLARK, R.N., H.M.S. Iron Duke, Major HUSKISSON, A.M.S., Captain ST. CLAIR, Brigade-Major, Lieutenant DRUMMOND, A.D.C., Major PALMER, A.D.C., Dr. EITEL, Chinese Secretary and Mr. D'ALMADA E CASTRO, Private Secretary. On shaking hands with Sir JOHN SMALE, the Viceroy said he had heard a good deal of him, and of his exertions for the suppression of the coolie trade. The Viceroy also recognised the Honourable P. RYRIE, who had been introduced to him, he said, on a former occasion, in Canton. When the Honourable No CHOY was presented, the Viceroy cordially congratulated him on his appoint- ment as a Member of Council, and appeared to have entirely forgotten or forgiven the very strong criticism which Mr. NG CHOY last year, as counsel in an extradition case, passed ch the action of some of the Viceroy's subordinates, whose tampering with witnesses for the defence Mr. NG CHOY at the time exposed in unsparing terms. The Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Tung-wah Hospital Committee, Messrs. CHU U-T'IN and LEUNG ON, were also present by invitation, and were subsequently introduced to the Viceroy. There was some conversation in the drawing- room between the Viceroy and the Governor, who were seated between Major-General Donovan on the one side, and the Chief Justice on the other. The Viceroy spoke of the personal friendship he felt for Mr. HENNESSY, and said he should not fail to take the first opportunity, after arrival in Peking, to bring to the notice of the Throne how well Mr. HENNESSY deserved the thanks of the Emperor for the effect his policy has had on the maintenance of good relations between England and China. He expressed also a wish to have a portrait of Mr. HENNESSY, and promised to send his own in return. No business, official or diplomatic, was alluded to, the Viceroy being evidently careful to preserve for his visit the character of a friendly semi-official call. He also explained that, if he had not already been relieved of his office in Canton, without having entered yet upon his office in Nanking, he would not have been able to pay even this informal visit to Hongkong, without a special Imperial Edict. He gave Mr. HENNESSY a cordial invitation to visit him in Nanking, where, he said, he would take

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　up his residence as soon as he had paid a visit to his mother and reported himself at the Court. On being shown the pictures of Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince Consort and the members of the Royal Family, His Excellency spoke of the length of Her Majesty's reign, and made some laudatory remarks on the subject. He also showed great interest in two portraits of Lord BEACONSFIELD, and some conversation arose as to the correct pronunciation of the first syllable in the name; and he evinced his knowledge of the Premier's policy when he quietly remarked that he was surprised to notice the great age of Lord BEACONSFIELD as, from the vigour of his Government, he had imagined him to be a much younger man.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　After an inspection of Mr. HENNESSY's collection of blue and white Ming porcelain, and other antiques, the whole assembly adjourned to the dining-room, where tea was served. The intermixture of English naval uniforms and Chinese costumes presented a good effect. On rising to leave, the Viceroy bowed to all the visitors present, and once more assured Mr. HENNESSY of his warm friendship, to which he added the hope of seeing him soon a guest in bis future home at Nanking. He also left his cards for the General, the Commodore, and the Chief Justice. The Viceroy' then left, accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, who parted from him at the wharf, where the Viceroy embarked in the launch Fie-ma. He subsequently privately visited the City Hall, accom- panied by Dr. EITEL, and spent a considerable time in examining the Museum library, where he specially noticed the autograph of the Queen. He went over the whole building, and then procceded to the Public Gardens, which he perambulated at leisure, without concealing his admiration of the effect produced by the talent and care bestowed on the gardens by Mr. FORD, the Superintendent. He did not visit any other place, but returned on board, and left shortly afterwards to return to Canton.

We have good reason to believe that this visit was really what it purported to be, a mere friendly call, prompted by feelings of personal friendship for Mr. HENNESSY. But, considering that His Excellency LAU is the Ex-Viceroy of Canton, and the Viceroy elect of Nanking, and that in his latter capacity he will be ex-officio Superintendent of trade for the South of China, this visit not only reflects favourably on the principles which governed the Viceroy's past career, but indicates also the friendly tendencies which will no doubt mark his Government of the -Two Kiang in Central China and give colour to his future superintendency of the trade of South China,

the Secretary of State for the Colonies, copies of Despatch from the Acting British Consul General in Cuba and of the reply which has been addressed thereto, from which it will be seen that His Lordship has decided that, in consequence of the arrival of a Chinese Consul General in Cuba there is no reason for continuing to extend British Protection to Chinese in that Island un- less they can give good reasons for showing that they are British subjects.

　　I am to suggest, for the consideration of Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, that directions should be issued with the view of informing Natives of Hongkong that, in the event of their emigrating to Cuba, they will have to take steps on arrival there to prove their British Nationality before British Protection can be extended to them.

GOVERNMENT EDUCATION, HONGKONG.

Antonios of His ExceLLENCY THE GOVERNOR AT THE CENTRAL SCHOOL, 30TH JANUARY, 1880.

The following is extracted from the Report in the "Daily Press."

The mual public examination of the scholars attending the Central School was to have been held ay morning, but none of the public attended to question the boys. At noon His Excellency HENNESSY, C.M.G.. arrived, attended by Major PALMER, R.E., A.D.C., and proceeded to nate the prizes; having done so, His Excellency said--

Estes and gentlemen, it is the usual custom on these occasions for the Governor of the Colony y review any changes that may have occurred respecting the public instruction of the Colony g the previous year. When I distributed the prizes in the Central School in January, 1879, Dr. Kaur was absent in Great Britain, and on his return important changes were made. During his in his own country, the head master of this school obtained from the University where as a had studied a high recognition of his ability, character and learning, for he then received ancient University of Aberdeen the ad eundem degree of Doctor of Laws. It is fitting on this when he has returned to the Colony and is presiding over this flourishing institution, that at. 1 I should congratulate him on the honour he thus received.

year 1879 is in other respects also an epoch in the history of public instruction in Hongkong. Sur, during his absence in England, was requested by the Secretary of State to express Vlk med fully to Her Majesty's Government his opinion upon one or two subjects of paramount It is known to all of you that the Government scheme of education, as far as the grants- are concerned, was a scheme which did not commend itself to the universal approval of those i in eineation in Hongkong. The part of the scheme that was particularly objected to was a to this effect--that no school could get a Government grant in which there had not been four ry day of purely secular instruction. From papers laid before the Legislative Council, it is matter of notoriety that various religious bodies in the Colony took objection to that clause in in-aid scheme. It was objected to by Bishop RAIMONDI; it was objected to by our late haplain, the Rev. Mr. KIDD; it was objected to by Pastor KLITZKE, of the Perlin Mission: ach ease the objection took this form: they said, "We object to the word 'secular' being in the naid scheme. We object especially to the word 'secular' being in that part of the scheme relates to the books we are to employ. We have no objection to have, as in other parts of the a system of examination in secular subjects by independent Government Examiners testing the of education, but we do desire to have the Bible, or to have religious teaching, made a part lady school life; and, that being so, we cannot accept the Government restrictions.'

of such importance that I think it was most fortunate that my friend Dr. STEWART had an Now, this ty of stating at length his own views on the subject, and of representing also the views of an portion of this community.

"the Government by allowing this would be departing from the position of religious neutrality which it 譬 has hitherto thought it advisable to maintain. All the protestant denominations that have accepted the "scheme comply ungrudgingly with the regulation, which would therefore appear to be a fir and a "reasonable one. It seems to me that this point is one peculiarly calling for the decision of the Boeretary "of State as a question of policy."

Now, before I received the decision of Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH upon this report of Dr. STEWART, there came to me a representation from the Rev. Mr. Kinn, our late Colonial Chaplain, in which he stated in one sentence his objection to the grant-in-aid scheme. He said:---

I cannot

"I am sorry to say that I am unable to put my school under Government inspection, and thus claim "the pecuniary support (under the grant-in-aid scheme) which I really very much need. "conscientiously give secular instruction only for the required number of hours per day, nor can I omit "the Bible and the Prayer Book from my time-table."

The question that Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH had to decide was one of importance. De SnowAnt had properly described it. It was a question of policy, and it has been finally set at rest, the decision being that the word "secular," wherever it appeared, was to be struck out of our grant-in-aid scheine. In reply to the letter of the Colonial Chaplain I received a despatch dated April, 1879, from Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, telling ine that, the modifications he had instructed me to make in the grat-in-aid scheme would remove the objections taken to it by the late Colonial Chaplain; and no doubt that is the The grant-in-aid scheme is now published for the information of the whole community. The word "secular" no longer appears in it. Every friend of education in the Colony can now come under that scheme and get the benefit of it. The schools must be open to Government inspection Govern- ment Examiners must examine the children, and report upon the results of education in the specified subjects of the standards; and upon those reports the Government will give its aid. So far the thai important question, The decision, I am aware, has given general satisfaction throughout the whole community.

case.

There was another subject, and one also of public interest, which at that time was nader, the consideration of Her Majesty's Government, who were assisted in coming to a decision by the presence of Dr. STEWART in London; and that is, the question of English teaching in the Goverment Schools of Hongkong. You are all aware that. on the first occasion of my coming here, and I think 1 may say on every other occasion when I have had to address the managers, or the pupils' prrents, or promoters of schools in this Colony, I have invariably dwelt on the importance of teaching English to the Chinese. I have noticed to-day with satisfaction that, among the prizes which have bear paovided for the pupils here by Mr. STEWART, all those books that you saw on my right hand, and which I have just been giving away, are books that will be useful in teaching English to the Chinese boys who gor them. Dr. STEWART selected these books himself. They are copies of an English and Chinese dictionary, a practical and valuable prize. But this is not the only indication that Dr. STEWART has gison of his intention to have more English taught in the Colony. The question was put to him in Englend at the instance of the Secretary of State, as to how far he could manage to have the teaching of Chiave made optional in this school. It was represented to the Government that some of the Chinese boys coming here wished to devotet hemselves to learning English, and that, having already, in their opinion, the opinion of their parents, a sufficient knowledge of Chinese, they might be allowed to study Wuglish throughout the whole of the school hours. Dr. STEWART'S remark upon that is to this het, in a letter dated London, 17th January, 1879. addressed to the Under Secretary at the Colonial (Valeo:

"In answer to your question whether the duties could not be so arranged as to leave it optional for "a boy to learn English during all the hours allotted to work, or English for part of time, tod Chinese limited "for the 'rest, I reply that it could not be done with the existing building, and with the "staff of masters, but if it is considered desirable by the Secretary of State that the option should de "given, I will waive my own opinion and give effect to the regulation as soon as the new ang?mments "will permit of its being done."

Now, gentlemen, this brings me to the statement that the provision of a suitable building for the

laci Central School is still under the consideration of the Government. In the early part of lion year ! gave instructions that the plans and specifications should be prepared for the new Central School, thit Dr. STEWART was to be consulted as to the precise requirements he thought necessary and that his wishes were to be acted on as to the nature and dimensions of the building. The deperiment to which that work is entrusted has been occupied with a very urgent work, the most buportant. I think. can find perhaps, we have had in this Colony, the rebuilding of the Praya wall, and no one, fault with the Surveyor General that, during my absence in Japan, he should have had to apply to the Administrator for permission to postpone dealing with the school until the Praya works were finished. That permission was given, and very properly so. I have no doubt, under the circonstances. The result is that Dr. STEWART has not the capacious building he ought to have in eoructing this important institution. I may mention, in connection with the subject of teaching English to the Chinese, that I asked the Secretary of State to allow me to build five new schools in this Colony for the Chinese, where they would be taught English, saying that in the meantime efforts would be made to introduce it in all the village schools. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has authorised me to build

In a word, you will see that Her Majesty's Government, and the we are alive to the importance of teaching English to the Chinese youth of this Colony,

to al steps are being taken to secure that result.

first I spoke from this desk, I adverted to the fact that Dr. STEWART, filling the two Master and Inspector, was over-worked, and I indicated my wish that he might be tor of Schools in the Colony, and relieved from the task of Head Master. Sir BACH, in the decision at which he arrived on the public instruction of Hongkong, torm Dr. STEWART that he thought the work of the Central School was enough for was coon, and that therefore he was to be retained as the head master of the Central School, and w of inspector was to be conferred on some other gentleman. Arrangements in accordance ch of the Government have been made, but I have no hesitation in saying that I regard soral and temporary. I was most fortunate in obtaining for the Inspectorate of the the Colony the services of Dr. EITEL, a friend of education and an accomplished new fills the appointment of Inspector of Schools. But I have recommended Dr. EITEL ent for another appointment, namely, that of being the head of a staff of interpreters, Secretary, a post which formerly existed and was found a very useful one; and, if think fit to approve of my suggestion, the consequence will be that the appointment Shs will then be vacant. Everyone knows that, on its falling vacant, I should best dary to the public Instruction of Hongkong, if I were then to ask Her Majesty's Govern- Dr. STEWART the Inspectorate not only of the schools with which Dr. ErTEL now deals, Lods together with the Central School, so that he will then be the head of the Educa- ent of the Colony ir all its branches.

Well, I told Mr. HART that cays a treeable for the Governor of the Colony to receive the thanks of any man for what the at had en doing: but I did not conceal from him my conviction that the young men who to the Poochow Arsenal, or who might be sent to the Chinese Government establishments gght to be educated, not at the expense of the ratepayers of Hongkong, but at the ex- verument of China; and that, whilst it might be a very laudable undertaking to do the four hundred millions of Chinese in this vast empire near us, and that, whilst it fmily act to assist the Chinese Government as far as the training of its Chinese officials vertheless, it did occur to me that Her Majesty's Government and the 140,000 inhabitants

Many of my friends pan merchant's feel the inconvenience of this state of things. The records and accounts Arsenal are kept in Chinese, and if we set before us the task of training young natives , we must of course look to teaching them Chinese rather than English. But, I must de what we can to assist in giving the students educated here and in our other tod of education suited for the mercantile life of Hongkong-this great dep?t of British tamere-In that way we shall be doing our duty to Her Majesty's Government and to It is my wish-it has been the ambition of nearly every man who preceded ine 54 of this Colony, and it has been the policy of all Secretaries of State who have decessors and myself that Hongkong should be made an Anglo-Chinese Colony, ty should have thousands upon thousands of Chinese subjects, with a thorough the English hupguage--amenable to English law and appreciating the British constitution,

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have thus referred briefly to the changes that have been made in 1879, and to the policy I believe our education system should be identified with, I will only add that during the absence of the head master he had no fault to find with the way in which this school was conducted; on the contrary, he tells me it was managed during his absence to his satisfaction, and be has assured me to-day that the staff of teachers present he regards as a most able, efficient, and loval We have present at this moment 399 pupils. That is a respectable number to have at these exa- minations. The result, as far as the papers show, is also, Dr. STEWART tells me, most satisfactory. And I believe it is satisfactory, for this reason, that, in dealing with this school, knowing the character, I ability, and attainments of its head master, I have agreed to every proposal he has made to me. will let you into one little secret of official work. There comes to me every day a despatch-box from, the Colonial Secretary's Office, filled with what we call the Colonial Secretary's Office papers, thar is. various applications made by heads of departments and others on public business. That comes to ne every morning, and I endeavour as early in the day as I can to deal with it. So far as clucation goes. I am in this position, that, when I see a C.S.O. paper with the hand writing of Dr. STEWART upon it. and the pr?cis of its contents outside, I don't take the trouble of opening it. I read the lle pr?cis he has made, and I write under it "approved," sign my name, and send it back to the Colonial Secre- tary's Office. I am bound to say that I do the same with the papers that come to me from Dr. Errst. the Inspector of Schools; and, therefore, I must frankly admit, that so far as the adulaksirative confluct of the education department is concerned, my duties are extremely limited. Accordingly, Indies and gentlemen, I must on this occasion express to all the officers connected with this department my thanks. They have done their duty to my entire satisfaction, and in a way that gives me, as hond of the Government, no trouble whatever. And having now thanked them, I must also express to you. ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the head master and myself, our thanks for your attendance here to-day, and I have the pleasure of announcing to the boys that they will receive from this date the customary holidays.

　　　Dr. STEWART thanked His Excellency on behalf of the school for his attendance, and also the visitors and donors of prizes, and asked His Excellency to announce that the holidays would continu to the 2nd March.

　　　His Excellency made the announcement as to the holidays, and said he would ask his Chinese friends on this occasion to terminate the proceedings by giving three cheers for Dr. STEWART.

　　　Three cheers were then given for Dr. STEWART. followed by three for His Excellency, and the boys were dismissed.

Colonial Secretary.

Tsang San-fat begs to report that, on the 29th day of the 8th month last year (5th October, 1877), owing to stress of poverty, he gave away his little daughter, aged six years, and named SAM A-KIN, to LEUNG A-TSIT of the MAN-wo shop, the understanding being that LEUSO A-TSIT should find her a husband when she grew up and should not send her away to other ports. On the 10th of this month one of petitioner's partners, A-SIN, came and said that LEUNG A-TSIT was in a day or two going to take away the little girl to another place.

　　　On the 12th, petitioner went to the shop and taxed him with this, and he made soine excusc as to the effect that there were going to be great disturbances in Hongkong, but in reality he was simply making a plausible excuse to cover his real intention of selling the little girl.

　　　Your petitioner therefore begs that he may be prevented from carrying his design into effect, and that Police may be sent to the Dock to arrest him.

On the 29th day of the 8th month of the year Ting-chau (5th October, 1877), a man named TSANG SAN-FAT made an arrangement with your petitioner by which he, being unable to support, a imily handed over to him his little daughter LAM A-KIN, aged 6 years. This was done through the trumentality of a man named WAN A-CHEUNG. The little girl was to become your petitioner's dughter, and was to be brought up by him, he paying twenty three dollars to the parents for the ex- pe they had been put to in rearing their daughter. On the other hand it was arranged that when the girl grew up, the privilege of finding a husband for her should devolve entirely upon the foster pients and should not concern in the most remote degree the actual parents. On this understanding the girl was taken to your petitioner's house, and a regular deed of transfer was drawn up.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

I felt no difliculty in acting on the Attorney General's advice in the case to which he refers, of the girl who had been brought to the London Mission House, the daughter of a deceased Christian, but ined by another relative of doubtful character. This case is not similar. The allegation is made ky the father that his child is forcibly detained by a man who admits he had purchased her, and who the father alleges is about taking the child out of the Colony for the purpose of selling her.

Such is the allegation made by the father of the child in his first petition of the 24th of May, and again peated in his petition of the 14th June. The father's evidence to that effect may or may not le trustworthy. But, if it should turn out to be true, the Attorney General in declining to comply with my instructions of the 19th June, will have incurred a grave responsibility.

J. POPE HENNESSY. 26th June, 1878.

MINUTE BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

I did not refer to Dr. EITEL's case as being exactly similar to the present one, but only for the ?ly?e given to His Excellency on that occasion. In many respects however I think it was similar, as a that case, if I remember rightly, the mother claimed the child and the widow of the deceased was disposed to give her up upon being refunded a certain amount which she stated had been spent on the . I am not aware that I have ever declined to comply with His Excellency's "instructions," I ely wished to know in what respect His Excellency considered the law had been broken before I tol any specific charge to be brought. Upon perusal of His Excellency's Minute of 26th June, 1978, I gathered that His Excellency considered that a charge could be substantiated against LEUNG Verstr of forcibly detaining the child under Ordinance 4 of 1865, Par. 51, with a view to selling her in we place out of the Colony. I thereupon immediately instructed Mr. SHARP, the Crown Solicitor, to ee the father of the child in order to get a statement from him upon which to found an application to Magistrate for a Summons or Warrant. Mr. SHARP has seen both the father and mother of the child god I forward herewith the statements made by them to him. If His Excellency thinks upon perusing these statements that any case can be substantiated against LEUNG A-TSIT under Section 51 of Ordi- patov 4 of 1875 (taking into consideration also the proviso at the end of the Section which directs that rson claiming any right to the possession of a child shall be liable to be prosecuted by virtue Beef on account of the getting possession of such child or taking such child out of the lawful pos- wo of hy person having the lawful charge thereof) or upon any other charge, in deference to His Frollewey's view, I will at once instruct the Crown Solicitor to make an application to a Magistrate a Stammmons. His Excellency will observe now that there is no evidence, not even hearsay, accord- ing to the mother's statement of any intention of selling the child even if we could prosecute for a bare ttesation.

I have no hesitation in repeating my deliberate opinion that in a case of this sort the Magistrate to jurisdiction—that at the most he could only use a little moral pressure and that if His Excellency Is to suppress the practice of parties adopting children or taking them as servants on giving a ty to the parents, by the institution of criminal proceedings against parties obtaining possession children from their parents, under such circumstances it will be necessary to introduce special pro-

Tsang San-fat, he owed some money to LEUNG A-Tsir, who had asked us to give him our little girl Las-KI insteal. I talked the matter over with my husband and being pressed for the debt, we determined to part with the girl provided $2 extra was paid.

Some few days afterwards the man LEUNG A-TSIT came to our house for the child; he paid the $2 to my husband and we then, of our own free will, gave up the little girl, and he took her was very sorry about it and cried. The arrangement was that he was to keep her at his own

away. and by and bye find her a husband. There was'nothing said about selling or not selling her, no paper was made out. I several times visited her at Leung A-TSIT's house and found that she was in no way ill-treated. I fancied however that LEUNG A-cmr did not much like my coming so often to his house to see the girl.

One day in May this year A-SIN (a man employed by LEUNG A-TSIT) happening to pass my house, I called him in to have a cup of tea and he then told me that his master was going to send the girl away somewhere. A-SIN did not say anything about LEUNG A-rstr selling the child, nor did he mention what place she was likely to go to. asked him to make enquiries, and to prevent her being sent away. My husband afterwards informed me I told my husband what A-six had said to me and I that he had petitioned the Government on the subject.

I last saw the girl about 2 months ago and I believe she is still at LEUNG A-Tsrr's house.

　　I should like my daughter to come back, for then I could betroth her when she is old enough, and I should then probably have money enough to pay LEUNG A-TSIT.

　　　One day last May, 1878, a man named A-SIN, employed as a barber in LUNG A-TSIT's shop passed by my house during my absence and told my wife that LEUNG A-TSIT was going to take the girl away, this was told to me on my return from work, and I then went to LEUNG A-Tsir and made ? enquiries. LEUNG A-TSIT informed me that he thought it would be best to send the girl away—he did not say where in consequence of the disturbed state of Hongkong, owing to the war between England and Russia. I told the shopkeeper about it, but after making some enquiries they did not further in-

terfere.

I then petitioned the Registrar General who told me to lay my case before the Colonial Secretary, which I did. I have no evidence as to any intention on the part of LEUNG A-rstr to sell the child except what was said by A-SIN. The girl has not been sent away yet. I do not much care about the child coming back as I am very poor, but my wife is very anxious that she should return for she does not like the thought of her being sent away. If she comes back to us, I will do all I can to support her and to get her betrothed by and bye when I shall probably be able to pay back what I owe to LEUNG A-TSIT.

My wife is very busy attending to my old mother and working for the daily rice, so that it would be very difficult for her to come over and give evidence.

The humble petition of the undersigned resi

and merchants of Hongkong, being natives

dte Timg-ki?n District, viz. Lo Jaai-ping, Shi

Mag-kai, Fung Ming-sh?n, Ts? T?t-shing and L?rs, of Bonham Strand, No. 3, in the matter

of uniting to offer rewards on account of the

lavours to stop these crimes and to pacify the l-behaved people,

Sheweth,

That there are strict regulations in Hongkong

filling the sale of honest people through

blnapping or deceit, and that, thinks to. His Ellency the Governor repeatedly taking repres-

well that they must be careful as to their move- bats, and consequently this great evil became

wul nigh extinguished,

That your Petitioners are of opinion, that such hed people are to be found belonging to any the (neighbouring) Districts, but in one Dis- t of Tung-k?n such cases of kidnapping are

emparatively more frequent, and all the mer-

cants of Hongkong without exception are ex- gpnsing their annoyance,

That therefore a meeting for the discussion of de matter has been held and it is proposed to subscriptions which may either be paid into

the Colonial Treasury or entrusted to soine house of business to facilitate general publication of ofs of reward and the employment of special de-

Actives with a view to eventually stamp out this

crime of kidnapping and to make it impossible for

the kidnappers to carry on their tricks,

　　That this, however, being a matter of repressing the dishonest and protecting the honest, may be an interference with oflicial regulations, wherefore your Petitioners dare not proceed in the matter without a warrant from Your Excellency (autho- rising them to do so) and your Petitioners are thus constrained to present this present petition conjointly, humbly praying that Your Excellency may be pleased to yield to the wishes of the people and issue a warrant to authorise your Petitioners at all times to institute inquiries, and if they meet with kidnappers immediately to request the co- operation of the police in arresting them and for- warding them to the proper tribunal to be tried and severely dealt with, those who succeed in arresting kidnappers receiving a reward and the kidnapped persons being supplied with means to return to their homes, whereby honest people will be saved from ruin and kidnappers will be unable to carry out their schemes at random, thus also our native city will be benefitted and Hong- kong will derive equal advantage,

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

　　Appended are five regulations which are res- pectfully submitted to Your Excellency.

(Enclosure in Petition of Messrs. L? Lai-p'ing, Shi Shang-k?i, Fung Ming-sh?n, Ts? Tat-shing and others.)

　　1. Kidnapping is a crime which is to be found. everywhere, but there is no place where it is more rife than Hongkong, nor was there a time when it developed so rapidly as of late, the reason being that there have been floods and drought alterna- ting for some years whereby many of the people were empoverished. Thus it happened that evil disposed persons had an opportunity to set their wicked plans for inveigling and kidnapping peo- ple in operation. Ignorant women fell an easy prey to their schemes. If once they entered the trap there were but few who could extricate themselves again.

　　Now it is proposed to publish everywhere offers of reward to track such kidnappers and have them arrested. If once they are in custody they will be severely dealt with. Perhaps these kidnap-

pers, hearing this news, will mend their ways.

Thus the grace and favour of His Excellency the Governor will not only put under obligation the people of Hongkong but all the poor people of the inland districts will, with one voice, praise his goodness.

2. Hongkong is the emporium and thorough-

fare for all the neighbouring ports. Therefore

those kidnappers frequent Hongkong much, it being a place where it is easy to buy and to sell and where effective means are at hand to make

　　　　　　　　Now the laws of Hong- good a speedy escape. long being based on the principle of liberty of the person, the kidnappers take advantage of

tem trifling profits, or they use threats and stern

nfronted with witnesses, it is difficult to show

l use natives of the Tung-k?n District to track

be kidnappers of Tung-k?n, and although their

icked schemes are very deep, yet they will find

diflicult to escape a careful search.

3. The undersigned merchants, cngaged here

trade for many years past, have lately noticed

that the crimes of kidnapping are increasing from

by to day. Many of both the kidnappers and

their kidnapped victims are natives of our native

District (Tung-k?n). Sccing this to be the state

daffairs, it is unbearable to think that these vil-

bins take this hospitable Colony for a convenient

fuge. A meeting has therefore been held and

o publish everywhere offers of reward.

is proposed to raise subscriptions with a view

For

very one who brings a kidnapper to trial, whe-

ter man or woman, provided they (the kidnap-

pers) are Tung-k?n people, and irrespective of the

ace to which the kidnapped persons may ng, there will be, for each person brought to

tal and sentenced, a reward paid to the amount

twenty dollars, and if the kidnapped persons

natives of the Tung-k?n district and the kid- uppers belong to other districts, the reward will

also be paid as above.

4. The money raised has been subscribed by Tung-kun people and it will be settled hereafter there the money is to be deposited. But three psons of good repute will be elected to act as Managers and when any case of kidnapping

ras up, as soon as the case is tried and proved, the amount of the reward will forthwith be paid

by the Managers, and as regards the kidnapped

prsons, whether they came from far or near,

Managers will arrange and provide means for their being sent back to their homes.

5. This statement has originally been drawn

p, with a view to be forwarded as a petition hich may be kept on record, praying that the Government issue a warrant. For the kidnap- jers keep their movements cnveloped in secrecy, but if on information being obtained the authori-

tes have first to be requested to send detectives winquire or arrest, it will necessarily take some dys and the kidnappers will meanwhile make xl their escape. It is therefore necessary to Aquest the Government to issue a warrant, so that, the moment information is given, the kid- appers can then and there be given into cus- ely on the spot, whereby the kidnappers will all at once be deprived of their resources and be unable to escape. Should this arrangement be carried out, kidnapping will soon be stamped out.

Suggestions by Mr. John J. Francis for the

Organisation of the proposed Chinese Society

for the Protection of Women and Children.

1. That the Promoters form themselves into a Company under "The Companies Ordinance,

　　1865." Any seven persons associated together for any lawful purpose may do this. It need not necessarily be for any trading or manufacturing

purpose.

2. All subscribers of ten dollars to the funds of the Association should be members thereof, with power to vote, &c., but should not be liable for any further subscriptions or for any contribu-

tion during the existence of the Society, but, in the event of the Company's being wound up and

money being needed to pay off any liabilities, all

　　existing members ought to become liable to pay a further sum of Ten dollars each,

(a.) This would be a Society or Company

limited by guarantee.

(6.) The advantages of forming a company

are manifold. The association would

thus obtain-

Corporate existence and definite

legal status,

Perpetual succession,

A common scal,

and with this move prompt and cordial

recognition from the Government aud the public.

　　3. That the objects of the Society should be the protection of women and children generally.

1. By labouring for the suppression and detection of kidnapping and kidnappers,

2. By undertaking the restoration to their homes of all women and children de- coyed or kidnapped into the Colony

for purposes of prostitution, emigration or slavery;

3. By providing for the maintenance and support of women and children pending

investigation and restoration to their hones,

4. By undertaking to marry or set out in life women and children who could not

safely be returned to their homes or families,

The establishment of a Refuge for homeless

women and children,

The raising of funds for all or any of these

purposes,

The propagation by books, fly sheets, &c.,

&c., of a knowledge of the English law on the subject of kidnapping and slavery among the Chinese here and on the mainland.

4. That the Society be managed by n Con- mittee of seven members. The first members to the signers of the memorandum of association.

Two to retire annually and their places to be Ellel by election by the votes of the shareholders.

5. That the Governor have a veto on the

action of any member.

6. That the proceedings of the Committee be

gularly recorded in detail and be always open

inspection of the Government.

7. That annual accounts be furnished to the Government.

S. That the Society engages and pays its own, ficers and detectives, who, if approved by the vernment and guaranteed by the Society in the sum of $100 each, be sworn in as special Constables, but to be used for the sole purpose

out of Government Funds under existing regula-

tions, upon the recommendation of a Judge or Magistrate.

There are many other points that would have

　to be considered and provided for, but here is, I think, a framework upon which all else needful could be built upon. An association thus con-

stituted would have a position and standing

before the Government and Public which would

entitle it to great consideration and liberal sup- port.

The Government would have a substantial

entity to deal with, solid guarantees against the

abuse of any powers it might confer, and

legalized means of contracting and directing.

The subscribers would have legal rights and

could exercise efficient supervision over of the

management of the institution and the disposal

of its funds.

Subscriptions would be voluntary and no lia-

bility to pay would arise except in the event of the Company being wound up and unable to pay its debts.

ENCLOSURE IN LETTER OF MR. FUNG MING-SIIAN TO DR. EITEL.

(Translation.)

　　The Committee, having taken the suggestions (of Mr. FRANCIS) into consideration, propose to add the following rules, without however deciding

　whether (this addition) is appropriate or not. They now present (the additional suggestions) respectfully, humbly praying that the paper be laid before His Excellency the Governor who may scrutinize them and decide accordingly.

2. In paragraph No. 2 the word "subscribers of ten dollars" (to the funds of the Association)

might perhaps be altered so as to read "sub- scribers of teu dollars or upwards, &c."

3. In paragraph No. 8, the Detectives to be

engaged might be given the additional power to

　board junks, entering and clearing, and to search then, as follows:----

(a.) Every Chinese passage-boat or cargo- junk, irrespective of the place whence

she comes or the place whither she may be bound should, the moment the an- chor is dropped, permit a Detective to

board and search her.

(b.) Every foreign vessel, irrespective of the place of her destination, should, if she

leaves with Chinese passengers on board,

permit a Detective to board her, before

she actually starts, and to search her.

No. 426.

The writer respectfully states in reply, that he

revived the “Suggestions of Mr. FRANCIS for the

nisation of the proposed Society for the pro-

tetion of women and children" and laid the , together with the literal Chinese transla-

5. before a meeting of the leading Chinese

hants called to consider the same.

The

gestions were successively, paragraph by pa-

graph, read and discussed at that meeting, and

that with respectful attention, all praising the

excellence of their purport and the goodness of

the method proposed which is really calculated

to check an evil of the present day of the most

posing urgency. Every one was loud in their

Praise and it was urged that these suggestions

hould speedily be acted upon..

With reference, however, to paragraph No. 2 and the words "all subscribers of ten dollars to the funds of the Association should be members thereof," the Committee beg to recommend to.. amend these words by the insertion of the words "more than" (ten dollars).

　　　Further as regards paragraph No. 8, referring to the employment of Detectives, the Committee are anxious to recommend the additional

sugges- tion that all vessels coming and going be boarded and examined by Detectives.

　　　But in the absence of His Excellency the Gov- eror's approval, the Committee dare not act

hitrarily. Two meetings have therefore been El to discuss (and confirm) these resolutions, and the writer has been specially requested now to communicate the result to you, with the rc- quest that you will submit the whole scheme Low for the scrutiny of His Excellency the Gov- mor, whose reply will be awaited by the Com-

ittee, on receipt of which reply the Committee will forthwith raise subscriptions and carry out the whole scheme. The Committee will then relapse into the state of simple members of the

Aiation, which will, when formed, elect spe-

cially a Committee of seven members, and they be, when the whole scheme is sanctioned to be carried into effect, to have a general meeting and den submit a statement of their position for the

rutiny of His Excellency the Governor.

Being doubtful if the above will meet with the approval of His Excellency the Governor, which respectfully awaited, the writer has meanwhile t forth the circumstances, respectfully anticipat- ing your orders, and embraces the opportunity assure you of his highest regards, wishing you the happiness of promotion and asking you to excuse any shortcomings.

P. Enclosed is the set of suggestions (drawn Ep by Mr. FRANCIS) and a draft paper of addi- tonal suggestions which is respectfully submitted for approval, if possible, with the prayer that in

y case a reply be vouchsafed.

For the provisional Committee.

MINUTES OF A MEETING held (in accordance with the Minute of His Excellency the Governor on C.S.O. No. 2641, of 12th Noveinber, 1878), at the Magistracy, ou 28th November, 1878, at 2.30 P.M..

Present:-Dr. ErTEL, Acting Inspector of Schools; J. J. FRANCIS, Esquire, Acting Police Magistrate; C. V. CREAGH, Esquire, Acting Police Magistrate; Mr. FuNG MING-SHAN, Comprador of Chartered Mercantile Bank; Mr. SHI SHANG-KAI, Opium Merchant; and Mr. TSE TAT-SHING, Tea Merchant.

After. it had been stated that Captain DEANE had received permission to withdraw from partici pation in these Meetings, and that Mr. Lo LAI-P'ING was unavoidably prevented attending the present Meeting, the Petition addressed by Mr. Lo LAI-P'ING and others, with its enclosure, was read, as also the Minutes on the same document, C.S.O. No. 2611..

Adverting to the fact that kidnapping had always been practised in the Colony, Mr. FRANCIS then put the question to the petitioners if there was of late any special modus operandi observed in the pro ceedings of kidnappers differing from what had been observed and known formerly, and justifying special proceedings either on the part of petitioners or on the part of the Government or both. To this question the Chinese gentlemen present replied that there was indeed a marked difference observ able in the proceedings of kiduappers of late, because they had become acquainted with the loopholes English law leaves open, also with the principle of personal freedom jealously guarded by English law, and that through this knowledge their proceedings had not only become less tangible for the Police to deal with, but the kidnappers had been emboldened to give themselves a definite organization, following a regular system adapted to the peculiarities of English and Chinese law, and using regular resorts and dep?ts in the suburbs of Hongkong. In support of this, Mr. FUNG MING-SILAN laid on the table two documents written in Chinese (marked A and B.) One of these (marked. 4) contained a list of 38 different houses in the neighbourhood of Sai-ying-p'?n and Tai-p'ing-sh?n used by pro fessional kidnappers as their regular resorts or dep?ts, and a list of 21 professional kidnappers whose names are given, but whose residence could not be ascertained. The other document (inarked B) consists of a list of 41 professional kidnappers whose personalia have been satisfactorily ascertained. Both papers are herewith appended together with an English translation.

The Magistrates present, feeling satisfied that there was good raison d'?tre for some special orga nization to oppose this systematized sale of women and children for unlawful purposes, pointed out to the Chinese meinbers of the meeting that one great difficulty the Government frequently met in dealing with such cases was the question what to do with women or children, found to have been unlawfully sold or kidnapped, how to restore them to their lawful guardians in the interior of China, how to provide for them in case such women or children had actually been sold by their very guardians, who, if the woman or child in question were restored to them, would but seek another purchaser, how to prevent such women and children being sold again by their guardians or friends, how to deal with persons absolutely friendless, &c. To this observation the Chinese members of the meeting repliest that they were prepared to undertake this duty and overcome these very difficulties by means of an organized "Society for the Protection of Woinen and Children," which would employ trustworthy detectives to ascertain the family relations of any kidnapped person, which would see to such persons being restored to their families upon guarantee being given for proper treatment, which in cases where restoration would not be advisable or where in the absence of relations and friends it was inpossible, would take charge of such kidnapped persons maintain them and eventually see them respectably

　　　　The meeting thereupon agreed that it would be desirable for the proposed "Society for the Petortion of Women and Children

to obtain corporate existence and then authority to employ pavate detectives to be sworn in as special Constables, who would have to be selected and to a certain nt (corresponding to that guaranteed in the case of ordinary Constables) secured by the Society's , who would also be under the general superintendence of the Captain Superintendent of Po to whom they would, if in the Colony, report themselves daily, without however being liable to 4, any ordinary Police duty, being entirely under the orders of the Society.

Mr. FRANCIS suggested to the Chinese members of the Committee the desirability of spreading in eighbouring districts a knowledge of the English law forbidding the sale of persons and guaran- The liberty of the subject. The Chinese members expressed themselves anxious to do so if one drew up a succinct statement of the provisions of the English law on the subject. The Magistrates present expressed themselves willing to draw up such a digest in a brief "form and 1. EITEL promised to translate it into Chinese for the use of the Society.

The Committee then agreed that apart from the superintendence of detectives to assist the regular. dire in the arrest of kidnappers, the functions of the proposed Society would be the raising and ministering of funds to pay the detectives and to provide for rescued kidnapped persons, for which an account should be published annually.

The Committee further agreed that there would be no need for the proposed Society to pay out their own funds the rewards to be offered for the detection of kiduappers, as there is a law authoris- is the payment of such rewards by the Government.

The Chinese members of the Committee then made some reference to one or two members of the Chinese l'olice force being suspected of being in league with professional kidnappers, but as they had distinct proof to bring forward and would therefore, for the present, not give names, it was agreed

to go into this point.

This closed the proceedings for the day, it being understood that draft regulations of the proposed Sciety would be prepared for the assistance of the Chinese members by Mr. FRANCIS and, after con- ultation with the whole Committee, finally submitted to His Excellency the Governor together with the Minutes of this inceting and of any future meeting that may be held.

FROM THE CHIEF JUSTICE TO THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

THE SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG,

May 30th, 1879.

SIR,-I have the honour to acquaint His Excellency the Governor that I yesterday sentenced Loo A-s? and CH'AN A-f, two poor women, for detaining a male child L A-ru aged 13 years, against the provisions of Ordinance No. 4 of 1865, paragraph 50 and 51, to imprisonment with hard labour for 18 months each.

On the evidence it appeared that they sold the child to LAU PAK-CHEONG, a druggist at Yau-m?- t?, for $175 and the child stayed with him as his servant for over twenty days when his relatives came from Canton and claimed him, but the druggist insisted on his right to possession of the boy producing a Bill of Sale and the boy was not given up till the parties appeared in the Police Court.

I.am satisfied from the evidence that the great criminal was Lau Pak-Cheong, and that it is an opprobrium to the administration of Justice to punish these poor women as I have done, and allow LAU PAK-CHEONG to escape. I therefore ask His Excellency to direct that proceedings be forthwith taken against LAU PAK-CHEONG and that the case be conducted at the Magistracy by the Crown Soli- citor, so that LAU PAK-CHEONG may be committed for trial before the Supreme Court under the above named Ordinance.

2. I have also to inform His Excellency that on the Special Criminal Sessions on the 6th May instant, a woman MAK LO1-1f convicted of stealing a female child No A-so of the age of 9 years by force under Ordinance No. 4 of 1865, paragraph 51, to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

This poor woman was merely a middle woman and received a small sum, but it came out in evidence that Leung A-luk had bought the child for $53, and was actually confining her in a room when the child was discovered. She was the great criminal. It is an opprobrium to Justice to punish this poor woman MAK LO1-1f and to allow LFUNG A-LUK to go unpunished.

I therefore ask His Excellency to direct that proceedings be forthwith taken against LEUNG A-LUS and that the case be conducted at the Magistracy by the Crown Solicitor, so that LEUNG A-LUK may be committed for trial before the Supreme Court on the above named Ordinance.

pre

3. I am aware that according to precedents here and at home it is within the province of the siding Judge to direct prosecutions such as these to be instituted, but I think it more convenient to ask His Excellency as the head of the Executive (whose province it especially is to originate Crimina! proceedings) to direct prosecution.

4. To let these two chief offenders go unprosecuted and to punish such poor miserable creatures. exposes the Court to the contempt of the community and tends to destroy all respect for the adminis tration of Justice in the Chinese community.

It is no objection to proceeding against these two persons that they were witnesses examined on

the two trials.

According to law the evidence given by each on the former trials might be read against him ot; her; but I advise this not to be done (see 3 Rus. on C. and M. p.p. 411 and 412, ↑ Ed. 1865.)

That the proceedings sought are right and proper and necessary, I take on myself the responsibi lity of emphatically asserting, any trial should be before Mr. Justice FRANCIS.

Herewith are the information and depositions before the Magistrate in each case which be pleasol to return to me, they being records of this Court.

2. Last year I drew the Attorney General's (Mr. PHILIPPO) attention to a petition from a father se the restoration of his child, but Mr. PHILIPPO, before whom the papers were laid, did not seem ed to enforce the rights of the father on the ground that he had sold the child. It would be well get the l'etition and read the minutes on it.

REPORT BY THE ACTING POLICE Magistrate.

Regina v. Soo A-s? and another.

In this case the druggist Lau Pak-cheung was not discharged, he only appeared before me as a itness for the prosecution.

Regina v. Mak Loi-hi.

　　It appeared to me that Mak Loi-hi, who, according to the evidence, found the child crying in the trert and under the pretence of finding and restoring her to her mother, took her about and offered? her for sale, was the chief actor in the crime, and as I considered that the unsupported evidence of the rhill was insufficient to secure her conviction, I discharged the 4th defendant, and made her a witness at the request of Inspector LINDSAY who believed that from the inquiries he had made she had purchased the girl on the supposition that the latter had been sold with her father's consent.

4. When recalled the child herself stated that she told the 4th defendant, that this was the case

because 1st defendant told ine to say so."

　　To obtain a conviction under paragraph 50 and 51 of Ordinance 4 of 1865 it must be proved that the child was detained,

1. With intent to sell him or her or to procure a ransom or benefit for his or her liberation.

2. "With intent to deprive any parent, guardian or other person having the lawful care or charge

of such child of the possession of such child, or

3. With intent to steal any article upon or about the person of such child" and I considered that while the evidence of a criminal intention was very slight in the case of the, 4th defendant, she would be an important witness against the actual kidnapper of the girl.

114

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4?? FEBRUARY, 1880.

　　It appeared to me that 4th defendant, being a well to do woman and having no children of her own, had purchased the girl with a view to adopting her as a daughter in the belief that she did so with the father's sanction..

MINUTE BY THE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL ON C.S.O. 1606 OF 1879.

I handed these papers to the Crown Solicitor with instructions to see what evidence is forthcoming and I beg to enclose his report.

With the greatest respect for the Chief Justice I doubt the policy of prosecuting the woman he refers to, having regard to the fact that the Magistrate had discharged her for want of testimony, and looking to his further report. The Magistrate should always be supported when it is possible, and if he discharged the woman and put her in the box as a witness and she was used again at the Supreme Court, it might look like a breach of good faith to treat her now as a criminal.

　　　The other two women I could see less reason for discharging, and I think perhaps should have had them charged, but I felt that that would be a grave slight on the Magistrate.

　　　As to the druggist's case I think that the only thing that can be said is that it would look to be a breach of faith to proceed against him now.

　　　The Chief Justice reprimanded all the partics very severely when passing sentence on the others, and I think they were so frightened that they will not cugage in such acts again. However in this

I am quite ready to sink my own opinion, and prosecute if it is deemed politic.

REPORT BY CROWN SOLICITOR ON C.S.O. 1606 or 1879.

Regina v. Soo A-su and another.

In this case I find that the boy LEE A-PIU and also LAM A-TING of the Sun-kec Tailor's Shop in or near Canton, where the lad was apprenticed, both left the Colony immediately after the trial, and have not since been heard of. Possibly these witnesses might be got at through the British Consul at Canton, but without their evidence any charge brought against LAM PAK-CHEUNG the druggist could not be well substantiated.

　　　Unfortunately no other evidence is forthcoming, and Inspector CAMERON can find no trace of the man A-KAM who stole the lad at Canton, or of the woman A-NG, both of whom seem to have decamped on bearing that the Police had been applied to in the matter,

　　　The druggist was himself the first to complain to the Police, and apparently bought the boy with no evil intention, and under the impression that he was an orphan without a home." The child too Kay's that he never told the druggist that he had any home, and expressed no desire to leave him.

The purchase by Chinese (having no family of their own) of young orphans, and inleed of others whose parents are too poor to keep them is a social custom amongst the natives, and is of constant occurrence in Hongkong. These "pocket children," as they are usually termed, are often treated with great affection and are far better off than they were previous to their being so bought.

Regina v. Mak Loi-hi.

With the aid of Inspector LINDSAY, I have carefully investigated this case. SEUNG A-LUK, 2nd and 4th defendants, discharged at the Police Court have already given their sworn CHEUNG A-Kai, and testimony at the recent Criminal Sessions. Should it however after this be thought desirable to put them on trial, I think there may be sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction. defendant, seems to have taken a minor part in the affair, and would be required as a witness.

THE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 16th July, 1879.

--I have the honour to inform you that your letter of 30th May last recommending that gs be taken against LAU PAT-CHEUNG and LEUNG A-LUK under Ordinance 4 of 1865, ls 50 and 51, was referred by Ilis Excellency Governor HENNESSY to the Acting Attorney toverai who,

before making a report, asked that the papers might be referred to the committing.

I have now received the report of the Acting Attorney General as well as those of the committing Magistrate and of the Crown Solicitor and I regret to inform you that after carefully considering these s well as the depositions forwarded by your Honour, I do not see my way to directing the. jentions of the two persons indicated by you, first because, with all deference to your Honour's Rein. I do not agree with you in looking upon them as the principal criminals, and secondly because thank that after the evidence of these persons has been taken before both the committing Magistrate the Supreme Court without any warning having been given to them that their evidence might be tl against them, it would appear like a breach of faith to treat them now as criminals.

A perusal of the depositions which you forwarded me and which I now return docs not shew at either of these persons obtained possession of the children for immoral purposes. It appears also from the depositions that they were led by the statements of the prisoners who have been sentenced Ir you, which statements were confirmed by the children themselves to believe that one of the children fo parents and that the other was disposed of with the written consent of the father alleged to be the only surviving parent. Neither of the children seem to have been ill-treated and the Magistrate Lexpressed the opinion with regard to the woman LEUNG A-LUK that "being a well-to-do woman and having no children of her own, she had purchased the child with a view of adopting her as a "daughter in the belief that she did so with the father's sanction."

Should the prosecution of these persons result in their acquittal which seems to me not probable, I fear that the good effect produced by the severe reprimand which I understand that your

　　Honour administered publicly to all the parties concerned in these two cases might be to a at extent neutralized.

As your Honour's letter has remained for some time unanswered, I think it only right that I uld acquaint you without further delay with the opinion that I have formed on the subject of your munication. But as your letter has been under the consideration of Governor HENNESSY, whose arture for Japan prevented him from finally dealing with it, there seems to me to be no reason y the matter should not be left, if your Honour wishes it for the decision of His Excellency on his tum to the Colony, when it will not be too late to take proceedings against the partics should it be ught necessary to adopt that course.

SIR,-The Criminal calendar for September, 1879, was sent to you in due course yesterday.. It cmprises three cases, case No. 1, a conviction of LEE A-KAU for kidnapping and detaining a child aged years. Case No. 6, a conviction of TSANG SZ-TAU and U A-IN on two counts for kidnapping and aining a boy Ho Po-SING with intent to sell him in this Colony, and on two other counts for the offence as to another boy YEUNG-SIING, and case No. 9, a conviction of KEUNG A-To for purchasing ftale child TING-HENG for the purpose of prostitution in this Colony, and of LI A-KAK for having

the same child for the same purpose.

THE SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG, 20th October, 1879.

　　SIR,-I return herewith C. S. O. No. 2,666, being Letter from the Captain Superintendent of Police to the Colonial Secretary recommending rewards of $10 to Inspector SWANSTON and Police Constable CAMPBELL, respectively, on the arrest and conviction of certain kidnappers which His Excel- lency the Governor has been pleased to refer to me.

　　Although I do not know whether these two Police Officers come within the precise conditions of the proclamation, I think it desirable to sustain recommendations by the Head of the Police. The conduct of the Police officers was good, and the reward is small, I therefore concur in the recommen-

dation.

I should be obliged by a copy of the Proclamation for reference.

　　I avail myself of the opportunity on recurring to this subject of informing His Excellency the Governor directly that I daily feel more reason to believe that the practice of kidnapping for purposes other than the coolie trafic has of late been alarmingly on the increase in this Colony. His Excellency will have noted the cases already tried in the Police and Supreme Courts. I may now add that the present sessions for October furnish two cases of the kind for trial before me and incline me to think that "Brokers of mankind," as a girl eleven years of age designates them, form among the various classes of brokers in this Colony a well known special class, though, like Gaming House Keepers, the Law ignores them. I believe that mothers have even kept their daughters from going to school for fear of their being kidnapped.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4ru FEBRUARY, 1880.

117

I cannot understand why such classes should as classes increase in this Colony at all, unless it be that (in alition to the Chinese demand for domestic servants and brothels) there be an increased Berign element increasing the demand.

　I fear that a high preinium is obtained by persons who kidnap girls in the high prices which they gralize on sale to foreigners as kept women.

No one can walk through some of the bye-streets in this Colony without seeing well dressed (a girls in great numbers whose occupations are self proclaimed, or pass those streets, or go into the schools in this Colony, without counting beautiful children by the hundred whose Eurasian origin if declarel. If the Government would enquire into the present condition of these classes, and, still r, into what has become of these women and their children of the past, I believe that it will be eel that in the great majority of cases the women have sunk into misery, and that of the children the girls that have survived have been sold to the profession of their mothers, and that if boys they ave been lost sight of or have sunk into the condition of the uncan whites of the late slave holding States of America.

The more I penetrate below the polished surface of our civilization, the more convincel am. I that the broad undercurrent of life here is more like that in the Southern States of America when slavery was dominant, than it resembles the all pervading civilization of England.

　Nothing less powerful than a commission with legislative powers to investigate and to examine nath will ever lay bare the evil which, from suggestions I have received, I believe to underlie our

rmly fair surface.

　My suggestion that the mild intervention of the Law should be invoked was ignored. It was also et by the assertion that custom has so sanctioned the evils in this Colony as that they are above the reach of Law, and that by custom the slavery was mild.

　I have been driven to denounce the whole evil from the Bench in a way I do not now regret. Having been driven to speak out, I now suggest to His Excellency the Governor an important addi- tim, not convenient to be particularly alluded to from the Bench, to the matters which I have already Seclared require as I think investigation.

　I must leave it to the Government to decide, whether there shall or shall not be investigation, and whether the status in quo of public morals in this Colony in these particulars shall be allowed to con- tinue na one of the many evils which neither law nor a legislation can cope with.

　That is a question which fortunately is not within the provice of the Judge, it is for the Statesman cely to decide.

In the meantime, and apart from that large important question, I would suggest that it would be dirable that the police should be instructed to bring every person known to hold a purchased (so all) servant before the Magistrate to be dealt with mildly; and, morcover, that all placards in Chinese should be interpreted to the head department in the police. Such placards advertising rewards runaway purchased slaves as were produced in Court would then cease, and other announcements would then be suppressed if they should prove to be as I incline to think obnoxious.

I am not so blind to consequences as not to see that an attempt to interfere with the present tem will entail public outlay to provide temporarily for the victims of that system till better posi- as can be secured for them; but if prisons up to the wants of a community are provided of necessity, it would be of equal duty to provide for putting down a system that by debasing all moral tone tends

crime.

MINUTE BY DR. EITEL.

Having been directed to report on tliose points to which His Lordship the Chief Justice refers as Convenient to mention on the Bench, I have the honour to forward herewith replies to the following questions which, I think, are raised by the Chief Justice's remarks :—

1. Do the high prices realized by sales of Chinese girls to foreigners, whose kept women they kone, contribute to raise that demand which is supplied by kidnapping?

The demand which is supplied by kidnapping, or by the kindred trick of inducing women through representations to leave their homes, originates in the first instance in the high prices paid for stitutes or concubines in places where Chinese women are rare, i.e. in Singapore and the Straits gene-

118

to suppose

rally, in Australia and California. The average price paid in those places for a good-looking woman, 16 to 18 years old is, as far as my information goes, $350. Another source causing a demand occasionally supplied by kidnapping is the system of adoption and the system of domestic servitude, but as generally only young children are thus bought, the average price is, I am told, only $40, yet the demand being large and the age of the children required low, there is evidently, in spite of the low price, strong cause that the abuses naturally connected with these systems of adoption and domestic servitude tend to encourage kidnapping. As to the system of concubinage practised by Chinese, the average price a Chinaman here pays for a concubine is, I am told, about $100. But this demand is generally supplied by an arrangement of mutual consent with the woman concerned and her parents, or by an equally voluntary bargain with the woman and her so-called pocket-mother (often a brothef keeper), yet it may occasionally be supplied by kidnapping, though rarely. Brothels also form a source, creating a demand supplied by kidnapping, but I believe, Hongkong brothels dare not, unless in very peculiar cases, purchase kidnapped girls because the girls form so many acquaintances ready to betray the facts of the case to the friends of kidnapped girls. Besides these brothels have their own sources of supply. As to Chinese women kept by foreigners, the practice formerly obtained

·largely to buy a girl out and out, or in other words, redeeming her and giving her back her freedom by paying from $300 to $600 to her pocket-mother or owner. During the last 10 years this practice has very much decreased and may be said to be almost extinct in Hongkong whilst it lingers yet to a small extent among foreign residents at the Treaty Ports. The prevailing practice is now merely to pay a kept woman a fixed sum from $10 to $50 per mensem, whether she be her own mistress or owned by a so-called pocket-mother. The system of monthly payment has, I am confident, no connection whatever with kidnapping. To a certain extent, however, though small, the practice of buying a girl out and out still exists. The prices paid in buying a girl out and out are, as far my information goes, from $200 to $500 in the case of a Chinese girl, and from $100 to $1,200 in the case of a half-cast girl. In all these cases buying a

In all these cases buying a girl is virtually giving her back her freedom, the money being paid, on a deed made out in Chinese, to the pocket-mother, and the girl afterwards receives from $10 to $50 per mensein from the foreigner who keeps her. The buying of half-cast girls, high as the prices are, has, I am sure, no connection with und no influence whatever on kidnapping. The buying of Chinese girls, at prices ($200 to $500) higher than those paid by Chinese for their wives and concubines, may have an influence encouraging kidnapping, but it can only be indirectly. A kidnapped girl sold to a foreigner would be sure to get her kidnappers into trouble. I am therefore inclined to think that the high prices paid by foreigners for kept women have no appreciable influence in the way of increasing the demand supplied by kidnapping. In short I believe that kidnapping is caused almost entirely by the demand for Chinese girls outside the Colony of Hongkong and is fostered by that defect of the law which allows a ship to take 20 female passengers without their coming at all under the cognizance of the Emigration Ollicer, as I pointed out in an opinion I gave on C. S. O. 2616 of 1879.

2. What becomes of these women and their children?

The women kept by foreigners in Ilongkong are, as a rule, rather raised in their own esteem by the connection, of the immorality of which they have no iden; they are also, as a rule, better off than the concubines of Chinese well-to-do merchants; they are generally provided for, by the foreigners who kept them, when the connection is severed, and at any rate these women are as a rule thrifty, and always manage to save money which they invest in Bank deposits, also in house property, but principally in buying female infants whom they rear for sale to or concubinage with foreigners, by which they generally, gain a competency in about 10 years.

The children of these women are invariably sent to school. In fact these women understand the value of education and prize it far more than respectable Chinese women do. The boys are invariably sent to the Government Central School where they generally distinguish themselves, and as a rule these boys obtain good situations in Hongkong, in the open ports and abroad. The girls crowd into the schools kept by Missionary Societies. These children are generally provided with a sinall patrimony by their putative fathers. They dress almost invariably in Chinese costume and adopt Chinese customs, unless they are taken up by ill-advised agents of foreign charity. I am quite positive,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I am quite positive, as far as my ex- 'perience and the information I received from many gentlemen in the best position to judge goes, that they do not in any way resemble the mean whites in the Southern States of America.

1 regret I have to contradict so flatly on this point the statement of His Lordship the Chief Justice which is in my opinion based on insuflicient information, but justice and truth demand it.

3. Are the placards referring to run-away female servants obnoxious?

I am quite sure that the Chief Justice's opinion regarding these placards has been formed on the basis of a bad translation. Besides these placards are issued on account of the responsibility the owners of a servant girl incur vis-?-vis the parents of the girl, if she cannot be found.

For the parents are

by Chinese law and custom entitled to prosecute the owners for damages if the latter cannot prove that they have used reasonable diligence to find the run-awny girl again.

To His Excellency the Governor.

The petition of the undersigned Committee-

members and merchants, acting on behalf of the Whinese Community of Hongkong, viz.:-Cm?

C.ris, WonG KWAN-TONG, LEUNG ON, Kwon Treso, FUNG MING-SHAN, WONG SHU-TONG,

FONG TANG, LEUNG LUN-PO, CH'AN CHEUK-CILI,

Jeso Yin-ring, Ts'ui Sui-silang, I'ANG YAT- ro, Ullo-Ts'?N, KWOK NAM-PING and others, praying Your Excellency to be pleased to stretchi

point of law and to apply it with discrimination,

as to yield to the feelings of the people, and to and compassionate consideration to their views.

Sarmeth

That whereas the Colony of Hongkong is

tustel in the immediate neighbourhood of the

Caution Province, many of the poor, from all sorts

places, sell their daughters or dispose of their

wis to save their own lives (from starvation),

　and as the Chinese Government has never pro- Libited the practice, it was hitherto continued

dea long time without interference,

That lately, however, there were certain avari- ous rogues and vagabonds who, under the pre- text of buying girls to be employed as domestic rvants, sold them from hand to hand to be sent val for purposes of prostitution, such confusion of stones with pearls being a matter for extreme

mit,

That Your Petitioners last year addressed Your Evallency by petition on this subject, praying e permission to establish a Society for the pro- lection (of women and children), hoping thereby tamp out such practices, whence it will be seen that the undersigned Committee-inembers hate

ch wicked practices as one hates an enemy,

That the practice of purchasing boys for pur ps of adoption, and the practice of buying girls Se purposes of domestic servitude, widely differ Eom the above mentioned wicked practices, be- ase the purchasing of boys has its reason in the alence of male descendants creating a desire to lopt a son as the sphex adopts the mulbery et, whilst the buying of girls has its origin in the necessity for a division of labour caused by

the multilarious character of domestic duties,

That such servant girls being young have both to be taught and to be tended, and when they Live reached maturity, they have to be given in urriage (to free men), wliilst all along they are owed to take their case and have no hard work

That all former Governors of this Colony were Elly aware of these social customs of the Chinese

Pople and never insisted upon the law being tia motion against them, but treated the matter

indulgence and forbore prosecution,

　That Your Petitioners find that, in the year HI, His Excellency Governor ELLIOT issued a

proclamation inviting an increase of settlers, in

which it was said that all Chinese, residing in Hongkong, would be treated in accordance with

their native customs and so forth, whereupon

people far and near were delighted to come, and the Colony of Hongkong showed thenceforth

signs of improving in prosperity from day to day,

That now, however, Your Petitioners are in- formed that His Lordship the Chief Justice after

the trial of a case of purchasing free persons for

purposes of prostitution said, in the course of his

judgment, that buying and selling girls for do-

mestic servitude was an indictable offence, which

put all native residents of Hongkong in a state

of extreme terror, all great merchants and wealthy

residents in the first instance being afraid lest

they might incur the risk of being found guilty

of a statutory offence, whilst the poor and low

class people, in.the second instance, feared being

deprived of a means to preserve their lives (by

selling children to be domestic servants),

That, moreover, there obtains in China the

practice of infanticide, in the case of female infants,

which would be extremely increased if it were

entirely forbidden to dispose of children by buying and selling, and further, people thus. deprived of a means to keep off starvation would, it is to be feared, drift into thiefdom and brigandage,

That Your Petitioners, considering Your Ex- cellency's habit of solicitude for the sufferings of the people and of sympathy with their feelings will surely not allow poor people who have no

helper to be left awaiting death with tied hands,

upon

humbly beg that Your Excellency, in merciful consideration for the feelings of the people, forego the carrying out of a measure bringing distress the people and lay before Her Majesty's Go- vernment their prayer that, in applying the pro- visions of the law to the Chinese practice of buying sons for purposes of adoption and girls for domestic servitude, a point be stretched in dealing with the case, but that the purchase of free people for purposes of prostitution, and the kidnapping and selling of persons from hand to hand be severely punished, when both poor and rich in the whole Colony will be greatly indebted to your Excellency's favour for ever and ever,

That Your Petitioners further beg to enclose herewith a statement of the case under ten diffe- rent paragraphs which they respectfully submit to Your Excellency's consideration,

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

　　P. Strictly speaking, this petition should have been signed by all the traders in Hongkong, but in view of the urgent and pressing nature of the case the Committee feared to incur the long delay which would be caused thereby. It was there- fore resolved at a public meeting that the under- signed fourteen members of the Committee, should append their signatures on behalf of the

　　　Subjoined is a statement under ten different brule, which is herewith respectfully presented for inspection with the humble prayer that it be carefully examined and action taken thereon, as may be deemed expedient.

1. Since time immemorial there has been in

China the practice of buying and selling male and female children, either for purposes of adop-

ten (in the case of boys), or in the case of girls ither to bring them up as one's own daughters As there w to use them as domestic servants.

is in all these cases free will and inclination on

bath sides, and no kidnapping, or decoying, or

aenpulsion, the law does not * forbid those

practices. These practices are, morcover, not

nly those of the common people, but of the

lumilies of scholars and high officials as well.

The reason of all this is the excessive increase of the population, and the wide extent of poverty

amd distress. The Government, therefore, yielded

to the circumstances, and moulded the law ac- conlingly, with a view to relieve the distress of the people. For if all those practices were for-

bilen, poor and distressed people would have to means left to save their lives, but would be ompelled to sit down and wait for death. This

is the principal reason for the non-interference of

the law. But as to selling free persons for pur-

Jes of prostitution, as to dccoying, kidnapping and compulsion, and other wicked practices, the Law of course restrains them with severity, the Korst cases being visited with capital punishment. Whilst all those practices, therefore, may be classed ogether as buying and selling (of free persons), it is yet requisite to distinguish carefully the good or wicked purposes which cach class of fractices serves, and accordingly apply discrimi- nately either punishment or non-punishment.

* Title not literally correct. The Law, being on this point in advance of the social Mirchina, as the firehon Laws were in advance of Irish civilization, does not permit wis to sell their children indiscriminately. But this law is a dead letter and as a A of fact such sales are of every day occurrence in all cinsacs of society and miss'y one treated as illegal by the Chinese Courts. Hence the belief of the pett.

2. Hongkong being conterminous with the

Canton Province and in constant intercommuni-

cation with the inland districts, nearly forty years

have now elapsed since the opening of the Colony,

which has become an emporium of trade, and since

the last few years many Chinese have brought

their property, wives and families to the place,

supposing that they would be able to live here

in peace and to rejoice in their property. The

reason for this movement was a belief in the

equitable administration of the criminal law on

the part of the English Courts of Law, and the

absence of vexatiousness on the part of the Exe-

?cutive. Native residents have, therefore, lately

expressed a wish for naturalisation, and native

merchants felt a desire to settle down. in this

trading place for good. Moreover, at the first

opening of the Colony, His Excellency Governor

ELLIOT issued a proclamation inviting an increase

of settlers by the promise that Chinese, coming to reside in Hongkong, would be in every respect

governed in accordance with their native customs,

and from the time of the publication of this pro-

clamation to the present day people always de

pended upon it. Chinese residents of Hongkong have, therefore, been in the habit of following all native customs which were not a contravention of Chinese Statute Law. It is said that the whole increase and prosperity of the Colony, from its first foundation to the present day, is all

based on the strength of that invitation, which

Sir JOIN ELLIOT gave to intending settlers, and that this present intention of applying, all of a

sudden, the repressive force of the law to both the practices of buying and selling boys or girls,

for purposes of adoption or for domestic servitude,

is not only a violation of the rule of Sir Jons

ELLIOT, but morcover will, it is to be feared, not fail to trouble the people.

3. One of the common but evil practic?s, in vogue in China, is the practice of infanticide in the case of female children, and this practice is

most especially followed in the Canton Province.

Poor and indigent people, scarcely able to provide

food and clothes for themselves, finding them- selves additionally burdened with the anxieties

and troubles which children involve, will fire- quently, if unable to find any body willing to take over and rear them, proceed to drown them the moment they are born. This practice has lately abated to a certain extent, as compared with former times. But although the practice of infanticide, a cruel and unnatural proceeding, is of course un- 'animously abhorred by every body, yet,being really caused by the pressure of poverty and distress, it must be classed with evils which are almost in- avoidable. Now, if the buying of adoptive children and of servant girls is to be uniformly abolished, it is to be feared that henceforth the practice of in- fanticide will extremely increase beyond what it ' ever was, The heinousness of the violation of the great Creator's benevolence, which constitutes infanticide, is beyond comparison with the indul- gence granted to the system of buying and selling

Edilen to prolong their existence. Moreover,

the Camilies which are able to purchase children

late an abundance of clothes and food, which

erly offers an advantage beyond anything

abren had in their own families, as they

piel beyond all care of providing against

buyer and cold. The foregoing considerations

ulated to make people rather rejoice over

He fort that these children change hands.

When parents are willing to sell their sons

al daughters to others, the reason invariably is, their troubles are innumerable, their plans

antel, their means squandered, and it is only

awa they find there is no better way out of difficulty, that they resign themselves to

ds rsort. As regards the sellers, their own kaation is to find some one willing to buy, 80

Hdu the matter is entirely voluntary, and there. the least compulsion in it. As regards the Mr, they look upon themselves as affording fto distressed people, and consider the matter

net akin to charity, especially as the boys

girls they buy, being of tender age, have, as a pteral rule, to be clothed, fed, nursed, taught, if they are sick, a doctor has to be engaged puted to them, aud when they are grown up, de boys have to be provided with a wife and a parate family dwelling, and to be set up in house-

ping, and in the case of girls, a good husband

In w In picked out for thein to make them ppy for life. The love and care devoted to

is often greater than that bestowed on one's

on offspring. In view of all this, it is inpos-

alle to class this system as identical with life-

slavery and deprivation of liberty.

China honours, above all others, the tenets

Confucianism, that is to say, the teachings of Cascins and Mencius. Mencius says, there are Gave forms of deficiency in filial duty, but the nt of them is to have no descendants. Conse-

　rently every childless person considers it obli- rury to adopt a son, for the term “deficiency a filial duty" implies a sin of the most heinous

1. Supposing even, that there were a man bring no willingness (to adopt a son), his tions and friends would certainly do the ut- nt to exhort him to do so. Hence the number pople who are willing to buy boys for pur- ps of adoption. But it being once permissible purchase boys in order to make them one's **a sons, it follows that it is also permissible to ley girls in order to make them one's own 4ghters. This system is the most essentially mportant of all Chinese customs, and Your Petitioners therefore beg that this statement be

descendingly examined and tested.

6. In China there are fixed rules for the pur- chrw of human beings, which rules bear abso-. lady no comparison whatever with the mode of purhasing ordinary commodities. For in buy- onlinary articles of any kind, the buyer quires unlimited power over then, and he is eatinly at liberty to keep them or reject them. There is no such thing in the purchase of human

　beings.. For when a girl is bought for domestic ser- vitude, her parents inay come at any time to visit or inquire after her, and before the contract is half

　over, they may redeem her. When the girl is of age, she is to be married, and the parents must,

of necessity, be communicated with, and as to

willingness or unwillingness, the girl herself is

allowed to have her say in the matter. If the

master (of a servant girl) is cruel and overbear-

ing and drives her to despair so as to kill herself,

or to run away without leaving a trace behind

her, the parents or relatives of the girl may apply

to the Court, and the master will be prosecuted

and punished. It is for this reason that any

family, which has lost a servant girl, is bound to

issue a notification offering a reward for any one

who will devise means to find her, until she is recovered, for, it is feared that otherwise the

parents will institute proceedings in the matter. This being the treatment required, it is evident that the purchaser has not complete power, but that one half of the power rests in the girls' own free will. Comparing this system with life-long slavery, it is evident the two are as different us heaven and earth. Some time ago the Chinese Government strictly prohibited the coolie trade, but has now concluded treaties with Peru, Spain and other countries, sanctioning free emigration, the reason being that the coolie trade was based . on deception and kidnapping, but free emigration

is a matter of independent free will. Both (coolic trade and emigration) are to a certain extent mat- ters of the same nature, yet when they are discrimi- nately examined, the two systems differ as wide as heaven and earth. Thus also the system of kidnap-

ping girls for purposes of prostitution, and the adop- tion of boys or purchase of servant girls, are also matters of the same nature (as coolie trade and

free einigration). Only it requires some intelli- gence to be able to distinguish the (turbid) river King, from the (clear) stream of Wei.

　　7. Some months ago, the Chinese Merchants of Ilongkong presented a petition to Your Ex- cellency, praying for permission to establish a Society for the protection of honest people (women and children), the object being to afford protection to women, girls, and young children generally against the snares of seducers and kid- nappers. It will be seen from this, that Your

Petitioners hate that form of wickedness as one hates one's enemy, and cannot bear seeing this class of rogues and vagabonds at liberty to play

their pranks in this humanely governed English Colony. For their practice is to use kidnapping and seduction, cunning and deceit as a source of profit and permanent revenue, and differs from honest and straightforward buying of sons or purchasing of servant girls so widely that there can be no comparison at all. Thus good and evil can be easily distinguished in this case.

　　8. Some years ago, about the beginning of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's administration, Your Petitioners, seeing immorality flourish to an extra- ordinary degree, to the great injury of public

morals, sccing also a system of kidnapping of fc- males going on, intended for exportation for pur-

poses of prostitution, to the total obscuration of the

oral sense, could not bear looking on quietly al in personal interview with His Excellency in Governor begged that some energetic measu- 2. Ine devised for the repression of this evil. At at time Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY considered it was

almost impossible to move a finger to repress y prostitution, because it was impossible to deal with it without coming in collision with the li- borty

of the individual guaranteed by the English

Iaw, and that only one course was left open, viz. :- to pass an Ordinance comprehending in its appli-

cation every thing of that sort whereby the evil might gradually be abated. He also asked Your Petitioners what they thought of it, and all replied it would be an excellent measure. Accordingly Onlinance No. 2 of 1875 was passed. Your Pe. titioners therefore considered that, according to Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's intention at the time, this Onlinance referred simply to kidnapping and to forcible detention and seduction of women and girls, as also to the purchase of females for pur- poses of prostitution, but to nothing else. Strange to say, Sections VII and VIII allow a construc-

? tion and have a range of application so extensive that they can be made to extend to the buying of sons for adoption and to the buying of girls for domestic servitude, which would assume ac- malingly a criminal character. This is in the pinion of Your l'etitioners inexplicable, and they

leg, therefore, to suggest the advisability of deal-

ing with the matter by a slight alteration (in the ording of thosc sections) so as to yield to the feelings of the people.

9. The Office of the Registrar General was

harged with the superintendence of prostitutes

the licensing of brothels and similar affairs. Hut from 80 to 90 per cent. of all these prostitu- in Ilongkong were brought into these brothels by purchase, as is well known to everybody.

li buying and selling is a matter of a criminal character, the proper thing would be, first of all, ? abolish this evil (connected with the brothels). But how comes it that since the first establish- ment of the Colony down to the present day the ame old practice prevails in these licensed brothels, and has never been forbidden or abo- Eshed? It will be seen from this that successive Registrar Generals, who were thoroughly ac- quainted with Chinese social customs, abstained Ian such grievous measures (as interference. with purchase of children for adoption or domes- tie servitude).

10. When the law forbids the' purchase of haves, the reason certainly is that it is to be feared they might be reared in contempt and treated with barbarity. Such prohibition is, there- fre, a matter of benevolence and compassion. So as to bringing up girls for domestic servi- le, of course if one looks at the fact that these girls receive no wages, there is indeed ? difference iam ordinary servitude. But as one has to

tend and nurse them whilst they are of tender them off when they are grown

age, and marry

up, it is only for the few years between those

two periods that one gets the benefit of their labour. Morcover, as they have to be given

away in marriage, they are not like capital that

remains on hand, whilst the food and clothes

they get are far superior to what they got in

the families they came from. Girls of poor and

distressed families seeing this, look upon it as the

very heaven and highroad to fortune. If all

such chances for theur were cut off, all the

daughters of poor cottagers would consider their

highroad to fortune destroyed. Thus the inten-

tion to do them good would turn out to be to their injury. Your Excellency being inspired by humane and benevolent feelings, will surely be able to sift and weigh the above statements.

　　　In the foregoing ten paragraphs Your Peti- tioners offer but a few slight explanations of the customs of the Chinese people, and of the measu-

res taken by successive Government Officials, the real facts being here set forth and presented · to Your Excellency in the earnest hope that Your Excellency will, by a stretch of charity and sympathy, condescend to yield to the feelings of the people and deal with the matter discri- minately. And as to that Ordinance, passed some time ago, which contains passages referring to this subject, Your Excellency may perhaps deem it advisable to change the meaning of the Ordi- nance, by adopting the nearer and rejecting the far fetched sense of the words. Or perhaps it may be advisable henceforth to subject the buying of sons for adoption, and the purchase of girls for domestic servitude, to official registration with the expressed stipulation that such children are not to be treated oppressively or some similar rule.

Whilst submitting these suggestions, with due respect for Your Excellency's decision, Your Pe- titioners beg to state that by such measures

there will be no grievance inflicted on the people, but rich and poor will both be comforted und

　　the whole community of Hongkong will be bene- fitted thereby.

Slavery, as it existed in the West, in ancient Greece and Rome, as well as in modern America, has always been an incident of race. Greek philosophers, in view of the intellectual inferiority of barba- rians, treated the enslavement of barbarians by Greeks as a matter of course. As to Roman slavery, it claimed no other justification than the right of conquest. The members of an inferior race, or the subjects of a weaker nation, were held in perpetual bondage by the members of another and stronger race who conquered in war, and who looked upon their captives and the descendants of their captives as their property, de jure gentium, as Justinian calls it. In course of time, however, an enlarged sense of equity and the development of that old Roman theory, the lex naturalis, refuted this notion of the Roman Law that victory gave the conqueror any further power over the defeated beyond disarming and disabling them as regards resumption of warfare. But with this advance of civilization came also an enlarged consciousness of the wide gulf separating civilized nations from barbarous tribes, white men and therefore free men from black races, supposed to be intended by nature for a position inferior to that of a free civilized white man. Slavery was thus not only continued but assumed a deeper significance and seemingly greater justification as being founded on organic differences, implanted in men by nature, inborn and therefore indelible. Thus it was that modern slavery, whilst abandoning the justification established in Roman Law by the so-called jus gentium of Justinian, adopted the argument first. propounded by Greek philosophers, and slavery became thus a more enduring and systematic Bondage than ever. For it was now defended even by Christian divines as in harmony with the divine purposes pro- phesied in Scripture regarding the descendants of Han, and illustrated by the physical and intellectual inferiority of black races, for Science also lent its aid to rivet the chains of the Africans, as being but highly developed apes.

Roman slavery received its fullest development when Roman civilization and Ronan jurispru- dence was in its zenith. Thus also the absolute slavery in which the black races of Africa were held by white men in the West-Indies and in America, who treated them simply as a commercial article of export and import, was materially perfected by the rapid advance which civilization and science had made among the progressive Societies of Europe and America as compared with the retarded develop- ment of barbaric into civilized life, illustrated by the condition of the black races of Africa.

That

In fact this postulate of organic differences in men as the principal apparent justification of modern slavery, is possible only in Societies which in the evolution of their social and political organism from the family groups or village units of patriarchalism, summing up all the relations of persons in the relations of family, have reached that high stage of development which is characterized by a mature sense of personal rights and individual obligation giving to the individual the place of the family. systematic reduction of men to chattelhood which converts the members of one race into a seemingly natural article of trade or into mere living implements of agriculture for the use of another race, is the privilege of a socially self-conscious generation which laboured hard to emerge from feudalism and despotism in gaining civil and political freedom and was able therefore to appreciate what the negation of liberty implies.

　　　　　But although this modern slavery was thus the natural outcome of an abnormally rapid advance of civilization, it was an outrage upon the spirit of the old Roman lex naturalis which all along counter- acted the growing tendency of Roman Law to treat the slave as a mere article of property and which especially since the French Revolution developed with marvellous rapidity. Slavery was in truth an unnatural straining of the organic differences implanted in man and therefore bound to be rectified by a reaction. The great Colonial Emancipation initiated by Wilberforce, and the more recent abolition of slavery in the United States, represent thus but a necessary development of the social organism of the West. The natural law of reaction was set in motion by that humitarianism which since the end of the last century began to permeate, like an electric current, the whole of the Western world. The result was a general growth of that ideal conception of nature which merges all distinctions of race in the higher synthesis of the universal brotherhood of man. Slavery has thus, happily, become an im- possibility among the enlightened nations of the West in whose laws and social relations the status of a slave has been more or less superseded by the contractual relation of master and servant.

　　　　　Nevertheless it must not be forgotten that, whilst this higher conception of humanity, this apprecia- tion of the fundamental equality of all human beings with its consequence, the abolition of slavery, is the outcome of a long course of organic development through which the social life of the West has passed by the gradual dissolution of family dependency and the growth of individual obligation, our present conceptions of humanity, of personal liberty and of slavery, are but transitions of progress and await further modifications and wider applications from the light of science and the spirit of equity. And further it should be remembered that, whilst the slave trade is successfully abolished in the West. slavery still lingers in many highly civilized countries. Even in the social organisms of the most advanced countries like England numerous relics of ancient patriarchalism, feudalism and despotism have survived which are out of harmony with the spirit of modern civilization. Take as an instance that relic of ancient patriarchalism, the absolute authority of husband and father, which still survives in the Law of England vesting parental rights in the father alone. Or take as another instance that relic of ancient feudalism, the European principle of feme covert, which absorbs the legal existence of

128 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH FEBRUARY, 1880.

woman during marriage in that of her husband. Or consider, as a third instance, but unum de multis. the powerful hold which the idea of aristocracy, as implying a superior quality of blood in so-called old families, still has on the popular mind of the West, America not excluded.

The foregoing will, I trust, suffice to show that the term "slavery" is bound up with the peculiar development of the social life and the legal theories of the progressive Societies of the West. It has indeed such a peculiar meaning attached to it that one ought to hesitate before applying the term rashly to the corresponding relation of a social organism like that of China which had an entirely different history and has hitherto been socially unconnected with those highly developed Societies. But I believe also to have shown that in Greek, Roman and modern society the practice of slavery always required some ingenious justification before the tribunal of the moral sense; in other words, that ever since the social organisms of the West emerged from archaic patriarchalism, so long retained by the ancient Romuns, and especially by the Sclavonians and a few other Indo-Germanic nations, slavery had no natural place in them. Its gradual dissolution was but a question of time.

Whilst thus the idea of absolute rights inherent in men and the recognition of the absolute equality every human being has been slowly and gradually evolved in the West and thereby procured, in the course of ages, the virtual abolition of slavery, we find an entirely different development of the same ideas in China. That flower and fruit of modern Christian civilization, the practical realisation of the consciousness of the common fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man, as the heirloom of every human creature, has been the very seedcorn and root from which the Chinese social organism has sprung up. That Heaven and Earth are the common parent of all human creatures, that all men within the four seas (i. e. all people that on earth do dwell) are brethren, is the keynote of the religious, social and political teaching of the most ancient Chinese Classics. In that ancient period of Chinese history, which is still looked upon as the classical norm and guide for the present and future, the Chow dynasty (founded 1,122 B. C. ), slavery was abolished in every form except that of the condemned criminal. Although slavery was re-established by the Han dynasty (3rd century B. C.), which developed the patria potestas to such an extent as to give parents the right to sell their children in case of extreme poverty, and although slavery, in a certain form and to a certain extent, has existed in China ever since, yet it is necessary to observe the radical differences which separate the system of slavery in vogue in China, from that of the West. To understand, however, the exact position which the slave occupies in the social organism of China, we must first of all observe the point at which social life in China has arrived in its process of evolution from barbarism.

The stage which China, two thousand years ago, reached in the history of its social and political development and in which it has on the whole remained ever since, through its inveterate habit of looking to the past for an ideal of the present, is correctly designated by the term "patriarchalism," though the social organism in its ceaseless absorption of new ideas is gradually breaking through the bond- age of patriarchalism in sundry points. The main idea of Chinese patriarchalism is that the male parent, as the patriarch of a definite family household, is the representative of the. "family" which is the prin- cipal organized expression of the State. The supremacy of the male parent is enhanced by the necessity. of continued sacrifices to the spirits of deceased ancestors. There lies therefore at the bottom of this system of patriarchalism the political necessity of a unitary household, as the substratum of the State, and the religious necessity of a positive central authority for sacred rites. The patriarch is thus in- vested with a power over every member of his family consisting of one or more wives, children, grand- children, and so forth, also of hired servants and possibly slaves, every one of whom has a fixed relation to the "family," guaranteed by the whole social state, and all are subject to the same patria potestas. In a State thus based on patriarchalism the idea of personal liberty, of absolute rights possessed by every individual, as conceived by the civilization of the West, has no apparent room, although it is contained in it as the leaf is contained in the plant at every stage of its growth. Nor is there any room for that absolute slavery which for so many centuries disfigured Western civilization. Every member of the family or household, the wife, the concubine, the child, the servant, the slave, merges his or her individual existence in the "family," which is legally the only "person" existing in China. The Chinese mind cannot comprehend any basis for individual relations apart from the relations of the family. Yet each individual has a definite place as a person, not as a property, reserved to him in this imperium in imperio, the empire of the pater familias, which place is guaranteed to him and guarded by the State. None is indeed sui juris, for all under the patria potestas, but the latter has its fixed limits. The mother, although but a purchased Agnate, becomes the depositary of the patria potestas with the death of the father. The father of the family himself, although endowed with the jus vit? necisque, is for every exercise of his power affecting the life of any one, subject to his patria potestas, answerable to the State. Moreover he has as many duties as he has rights. He is solidarily responsible for any crime committed by any member, servant, or slave of his family, whereby crime becomes a corporate act and the extent of moral responsibility, thus laid upon the house-father, a serious burden. In a family thus constituted none can be free, but at the same time the bondage under which all are, in their several ways, is not a mark of tyranny, but of religious unity, a bond of equality and mutual regard.

It must be clearly understood, however, that the "family," which thus forms the unit of the Chinese system of patriarchalism, is not what we understand to be a family, but strictly speaking, one of those legal fictions with which the Chinese social system, like every other archaic organism, abounds. The Chinese family really means the circle of those who are under one and the same patria potestas, whether

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TM? FEBRUARY, 1880. 129

they came under this power by procreation, by agnation, by adoption, or by gift or purchase. Such "family" may be a combination of many households, of brothers and their descendants in two or more generations, not necessarily dining at the same table, not necessarily tilling the same fields, but necessarily held together by common subjection to the same patria potestas and the common use of the same ancestral hall with the common worship of the same oldest ancestral tablet. This explains the common occurrence in our Law Courts of half a dozen men, acknowledging each to be the son of a different father, yet persisting in calling themselves brothers. The purchased slave, the hired domestic, the wife, are as truly related to the head of such a family as the latter's own son. The son differs from the family slave only by the nearer chance he has of wielding some day himself the patria potestas. It seems strange to us, brought up, as we are, in the ideas of cognate relationship, but it is nevertheless a fact that simple purchase and adoption-which latter is invariably a money bargain- should constitute kinship, so much so, that law and custom make no distinction whatever between adoptive and real connection, and that the purchased slave enters into the circle of relationship in the family. Few foreigners have comprehended the extent of social equality which this conception of the family practically engenders. The amount of influence which woman, bought and sold as she is, really has in China, and there within her proper sphere, within the family, is little understood. The depth of domestic affection, of filial piety, of paternal care, which is ingrained in every member of this collossal aggregation of families called China, has never been fathomed yet, and is almost unin- telligible to the members of modern European Societies which in their haste to constitute a social order, in which every personal relation shall be based on the free and intelligent agreement of indi- viduals, almost forget that they are building up the rights of the individual on the ruins of the family and developing social equality and individual liberty at the expense of domestic affections and filial piety. Who would glibly decide that this modern intellectual individualism of the West, with all the development it has wrought in science and mechanics, is an undoubted advance upon the filial piety and intuitive faith of Chinese patriarchalis?n ?

Having thus a definite place within the pale of the family, and thereby secured against being reduced to the condition of mere chattelhood, though subject to a patria potestas which is shared in by every other member of the family, the Chinese family-slave has not ? position peculiarly galling. His master is of the same blood with him. Slavery in China is not an incident of race as in the West but an accident of misfortune. The master knows that any turn of fortune may reduce him to the position of a slave. The slave knows that his master, though he be the highest official in the Empire, is under the same patria potestas in relation to the Emperor, in which he, the slave, stands in relation to his master. There is really little in the position of a Chinese family-slave which allows a close comparison with the condition of a slave under the Roman Law, or of a negroe in the hands of his West-Indian or American master. Considering that the legal definition of the term slavery (see Wharton, Law Lexicon, London, 1872,) is "that civil relation in which one man has absolute power over the life, fortune and liberty of another," the question arises, can such a position as that occupied by the Chinese slave be seriously called slavery, in the legal acceptation of the term, or is it not rather the position of a bond-servant than a slave that he occupies?

　　　　To answer this question, it is necessary to define exactly who are slaves in China, how such slavery arises or perpetuates itself, and then place side by side with it the existing system of domestic servitude as it practically obtains in China.

　　　　The only classes of persons in China answering to some extent the aforementioned legal defini- tion of the term slavery are convicts, eunuchs, and persons who sold themselves into or were born in hereditary family-slavery. Chinese convicts, as also occasionally prisoners of war, are sometimes attached, in the position of slaves, to military stations on the frontier, or presented to military officers on the frontier as domestic slaves. They are treated as outlaws, but may not be killed with impunity. Most of them eventually become permanent settlers and have their liberty restored to them, or they may be pardoned and return as free men to their families. Female convicts also are occasionally sold into domestic slavery in official families. But if such a female slave is given in marriage, she becomes free, and if she bears a son to a free man, whether as wife or concubine, that son may succeed to his father's property. As to eunuchs, who are principally employed in the Imperial Palace, or in the Palaces of the Princes, who are by law bound to keep and supply eunuchs, they are either provided by parents who have their children made eunuchs to secure to them the easy life in the Harem, or they are persons who for some reason or other submitted to the same operation, or they are the sons of rebels who were made eunuchs by order of the Government. These eunuchs, though

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　These eunuchs, though the victims of a barbarous custom, are not outside the pale of the family, and occupy a fixed position in it guaranteed by the law. to private or ordinary domestic slaves, not being convicts, it must be understood, in the first instance, that no free parent can sell his children into hereditary slavery. The law, whilst recognizing and legalizing hereditary slavery, severely punishes any tendency to mix the once existing social ranks. Hereditary slaves, therefore, if not convicts, are either born in hereditary slavery or they are persons who deliberately sold themselves into such slavery, by stress of poverty or with a view to gain the protection of a wealthy family. Such a sale must be the free and voluntary act of the individual, must have the sanction of him who wields the patria potestas over the individual, and the deed must be approved, stamped and registered in a public Court. The owner of such a slave is bound by custom to provide him with a wife and the descendants of such a marriage are then hereditary slaves.

130 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH FEBRUARY, 1880.

This form of slavery is comparatively rare in the Canton Province where it occurs only in connection with very wealthy families, but is said to obtain to some extent among the so-called T?n-K? or boat popu- lation of Canton,” many of these families being in the relation of hereditary slaves to wealthy Cantonese clans under whose protection they live and to whom they pay portion of their carnings. There is however nothing in his outward appearance or condition to distinguish such a slave from a free person. Although I spent the greater portion of fifteen years in some inland districts of the Canton Province, I have never to my knowledge seen such an hereditary slave. I am told that generally only the nearest acquaintances know a slave to be such and that the only outward distinction of an here- ditary slave is the rule made by custom that on New Year's day, when even the poorest free man, who goes about barefoot all the year through, dons shoes and stockings, the slave has to wear wooden clogs. I am sure there is not one such hereditary slave in Hongkong. But suppose one came here and were told that he is entirely free on British soil, it would make no difference to him whatever. For he looks upon his master as a refuge to fall back upon in case of sickness, and anyhow he treats his rela tion to his master as a family relation and views his adherence to it as a matter of honour. Besides any such slave has always a chance of purchasing his freedom and if once affranchised his descendants in the third generation can compete for official honours. This system of slavery, whilst comparatively rare in the Canton Province, is more frequently practised in the Fohkien Province where by custom the third generation of an hereditary slave regains freedom. But the principal seat of this slavery is in the agrarian districts of Shantung and most especially in the Hwui-chau, Ning-kwoh and Ch'i-chou Prefectures of the Ngan-hwui Province. It is also said to exist to a large extent among the fisher- men of the Cheh-kiang Province. But in all these cases the slave is a member of the family to which he belongs, which is answerable for his life to the State, and the law permits all such slaves to redeem themselves by money payment, when the contract which restores liberty to the slave is to be stamped and recorded in Court.

　Under these circumstances I have no hesitation in saying that it seems to me impossible to iden tify this curious mixture of contract service, family dependence and slavery, which characterizes the Chinese analogue of slavery, with that slavery which the history of European society evolved and to which our law books, Acts of Parliament and Orders in Council refer. To deal justly with the slavery of China we ought to invent a new name for it.

　Domestic servitude occupies an entirely different position. Whilst the hereditary slave and his immediate descendants are excluded from all competition for official honours, domestic servitude does not imply such disability although the law treats the domestic servant during the term of his

engage. ment as under the entire control-life of course excluded-of his master who is answerable for his misdemeanours and involved in his crime. In all arrangements, contracts or deeds regarding domestic servitude there are invariably the elements of a monetary transaction, just as in the case of deeds of adoption. The sale and especially the pledging of persons, whether adults or children, for purposes of domestic servitude is the ruling custom all over China. The law, although sanctioning the sale of children for purposes of adoption within each clan, and even from without, is here in advance of public opinion as it expressly allows, by an edict of Kien Lung (A.D. 1788), the sale of children only to extremely poor people in times of famine, but forbids even in that case re-sale of a child once bought. Practically however the indiscriminate sale of children for purposes of domestic servitude is not inter- fered with by the law at any time. On the contrary, the advance of law over custoin, here indicated, is but slight, when we consider that the law sanctions the custom of temporarily pledging one's wife, concubine or daughters to another family for purposes of domestic servitude. In the latest edition of the Penal Code I find, appended to the Section headed "pledging wives or daughters," the following note. "This prohibition refers only to pledging, in return for money received, one's wife or concubine to another man whose wife or concubine she is to be (till redeemed), but the practice, so extremely common at the present day, of poor people pledging, for money received, their wives or daughters to others for purposes of domestic servitude is not included under this prohibition." A male domestic may either him- self make the contract with his employer which binds him to the latter for a number of years, or the domestic may have been handed over by his parents to the master who pays the parents, may be, a sum, in advance, so to say, of the wages to be earned. The same is the case with grown up or elderly female domestics. But the largest majority of all female domestics in China are young girls of more or less tender age, most of whom enter upon their domestic servitude when four or five years old. The reason for this immense demand for young female domestics lies in the system of polygamy which obtains all over the empire and which has a religious basis. A son being required to continue the family sacrifices, any one whose first wife proves childless will consider it his religious duty either to adopt a son or to take a second or third or fourth wife until he procures a son. To die without a son is considered a heinous sin against one's ancestors. But in a family consisting of several wives there is no room for the sort of servant girl to which Western nations are accustomed. As eunuchs are forbidden to all families below the rank of a prince, the custom of purchasing young girls for the performance of the lighter domestic duties became the general practice of all well-to-do families since time immemorial. Such girls may either be pledged by their parents for a certain time or sold for good. When only pledged, the case is generally this. A family being in urgent distress and requiring immediately a certain sum of money, take one of their female children, say five years old, who has been sufficiently impressed with the misery at home, to a wealthy family

　　　where the child becomes a member of the family and has perhaps to look after a baby. The father receives a small loan on the security of this child, and when that loan is repaid with interest. the child returns to her father's family to remain there till in the ordinary course she is sold as a be- trothed wife or, as we call it, married. But the child may be sold out and out. In that case invariably a deed is drawn up called by a common legal fiction "a deed of gift." A sum of money is paid and the child becomes the domestic servant of the family and is as entirely under the patria potestas of the head of that family, as if she were a slave, with the exception that an all powerful custoin requires the master to find a husband for his servant girl when she is of age, and the moment she is married she is as free for ever as any married woman can be and no touch of servitude clings to her descendants. Considering the deep hold which this system has on the Chinese people, it is not to be wondered at that Chinese can scarcely comprehend how an English Judge could come to designate this species of domestic servitude by the name slavery. On the contrary, intelligent Chinese look upon this system as the necessary and indispensable complement of polygamy, as an excellent counter remedy for the de- plorably wide spread system of infanticide, and as the natural consequence of the chronic occurrence of famines, inundations and rebellions in an overpopulated country. But the abuses to which this system of buying and selling female children is liable in the hands of unscrupulous parents and buyers, and the support it lends to public prostitution are too patent facts to require pointing out.

　　　　　This system of domestic servitude is very common in Hongkong among well-to-do Cantonese, less common among the Fohkien people and comparatively rare among the Hakkas. The reason is that early betrothals and early marriages are common ainong both the Fohkienese and especially among the Hakkas who have moreover the custom of sending the betrothed, as soon as she is able to walk, say when three or four years old, to the family of her future husband, where she remains till her marriage and has exactly the same position and performs the same duties which the purchased servant girl is required for in a Cantonese family. I must mention, however, by way of explanation, that polygamy is also comparatively rare.among the Hakkas.

　　　　　To foreigners of course it seems very unnatural that children should be sold into domestic servitude. But the Chinaman sees nothing unnatural in it because almost every social arrangement in China, betrothal, marriage, concubinage, adoption, servitude, is professedly based on a money bargain. The roots of this whole system of slavery and servitude are inseverably interlaced not only with the general social organism but with the national character of the Chinese. The British soldier who takes his shilling may be said to have sold himself into slavery. The British sailor, after signing the articles, may virtually be a slave for a period. But these forms of servitude, created by an Act of Parliament, can be swept away entirely by another Act of Parliament. They are not bound up with the social organism and have no root in the national character. But the slavery and domestic servitude of China are institutions which nothing short of the general dissolution of the whole social system of patriarchalism can possibly remove, for they are ingrained in the very blood and brain of China.

　　　　　To understand the social bearings of domestic servitude as it obtains in Hongkong, it must be observed that, although the Chinese residents of Hongkong are under British rule and live in close proximity to English social life, there has always been an impassable gulf between respectable English and Chinese society in Hongkong. The two forms of social life have exercised a certain influence upon each other, but the result now visible is, that while Chinese social life has remained exactly what it is on the mainland of China, the social life of many foreigners in Hongkong has comparatively degenerated and not only accommodated itself in certain respects to habits peculiar to the system of patriarchalism, but caused a certain disrespectable but small class of Chinese to enter into a social alliance with foreigners which, while detaching them from the restraining influence of the custom and public opinion of Chinese society, left, them uninfluenced by the moral powers of foreign civilization.

　　　　　This exceptional class of Chinese residents here in Hongkong consists principally of the women known, in Hongkong, by the popular nickname "h?m-shui-m?i (lit. salt water girls), applied to these members of the so-called T?n-k? or boat population, the Pariahs of Cantonese society. These T?n- k? people of the Canton river are the descendants of a tribe of aborigines pushed by advancing Chinese civilization to live on boats on the Canton river, being for centuries forbidden by law to live on shore. The Emperor YUNG CHING (A.D. 1730) allowed them to settle in villages in the immediate proximity of the river, but they were left by him and remain to the present day excluded from competition for official honours, whilst custom forbids them to intermarry with the rest of the people. These T?n-k? people were the secret but trusty allies of foreigners from the time of the East India Company to the present day. They furnished pilots and supplies of provisions to British men-of-war and troop ships when doing so was by the Chinese Governinent declared treason unsparingly visited with capital punishment. They invaded Hongkong the moment the Colony was opened and have ever since main- tained here a monopoly, so to say, of the supply of Chinese pilots and ships' crews, of the fish trade, the cattle trade, and especially of the trade in women for the supply of foreigners and of brothels patronized by foreigners. Almost every so-called "protected woman," i.e. kept mistress of foreigners here, belongs to this T?n-k? tribe, looked down upon and kept at a distance by all the other Chinese classes. It is among these T?n-k? women and especially under the protection of those "protected T?n-k? women that private prostitution and the sale of girls for purposes of concubinage flourishes, being looked upon by them as their legitimate profession. Consequently almost every "protected woman" keeps a nursery of purchased children or a few servant girls who are being reared with a

view to their eventual disposal, according to their personal qualifications, either among foreigners here as kept women, or among Chinese residents as their concubines, or to be sold for export to Singapore, San Francisco or Australia. Those protected women, moreover, generally act as protectors each to a few other T?n-k? women who live by sly prostitution. The latter, again, used to be preyed upon till quite recently His Excellency Governor HENNESSY stopped this fiendish practice by informers paid with Government money, who would first debanch such women and then turn round against them charging them before the Magistrate as keepers of unlicensed brothels, in which case a heavy fine would be inflicted to pay which these women used to sell their own children or sell themselves into bondage, worse than slavery, to the keepers of the brothels licensed by Govern- Whenever a sly brothel was broken up these keepers would crowd the shroff's office of the Police Court or the visiting room of the Government Lock Hospital to drive their heartless bargains which were invariably enforced with the weighty support of the Inspectors of brothels appointed by Government under the Contagious Diseases Ordinance. The more this Ordinance was enforced the more of this buying and selling of human flesh went on at the very doors of Government offices.

ment.

It is amongst these outcasts of Chinese society that the worst abuses of the Chinese system of domestic servitude exist, because that system is here unrestrained by the powers of traditional custom or popular opinion. This class of people mustering perhaps here in Hongkong not more than two thousand persons, are entirely beyond the argument of this essay. They form a class of their own, readi ly recognized at a glance. They are disowned by Chinese society whilst they are but parasites on foreign society. The system of buying and selling female children and of domestic servitude with which they must be identified is so glaring an abuse of legitimate Chinese domestic servitude, that it calls for corrective measures entirely apart from any considerations connected with the general body of Chinese society.

As regards the peculiarly patriarchal features of the general body of Chinese society in Hongkong no interference has hitherto been ventured upon either by the Legislature or by the Executive, whilst the common Law of England proved utterly inapplicable to the peculiar social systems of the Chinese living here. That prominent feature of patriarchal society, that fountain source of female domestic ser- vitude, polygamy, has never yet been interfered with by the Executive. Even monogamic marriage is neither registered nor recognized by the English Courts of Hongkong as distinct from concubinage in the case of Chinese non-christian families. Although a local Marriage Ordinance has been passed which applies to the fifteen hundred Chinese Christians in Hongkong, it does not apply to one of the 134,000 non-christian Chinese residents here. Under these circumstances it seems to me inconsistent to single out the peculiar form of legitimate female domestic servitude practised by the Chinese here in accordance with the time honoured custom of their native country, the frontiers of which are conterminous with those of Hongkong. Hongkong is indeed but a dot in the ocean, but the Chinese social life of Hongkong is also but a dot in the ocean of that vast social life which covers a country peopled by four hundred millions of people. Whilst having no social intercourse with the foreigners of Hongkong, the pulse of Chinese social life in Hongkong beats in unison with that of patriarchal China and its arteries are constantly supplied with new life blood from the same

source.

It is one of the lessons which modern Sociology has taught, that police prosecutions or legislative enactments must of necessity prove inefficient when intended to cope with any deep seated social custom, because social reforms cannot be effected by any means except by the accumulated effects of habit on character. I have no doubt whatever that, apart from the abuses which naturally attach to every social custom like that of domestic servitude, any direct interference with the system itself on the part of the Executive or Legislature would do more harm than good. The domestic servant girls of Hongkong know that they are free. If badly treated they have no hesitation in applying to the Police and bringing a charge of assault against master or mistress. But suppose the Police were instructed that every Chinese house-father, who has in his family a purchased servant girl, should be dragged into the Police Court and punished, the consequence would be, in the first instance, that every well-to-do house-father would send his family over to the mainland to reside there, and in the second instance all worthless servant girls would be thrown upon the hands of the Govern ment. Homes would have to be built for them, work would have to be provided for them, yet Chinese social custom would, in secret, retain its habit of domestic servitude quietly as before, under another name perhaps, but side by side with the share which the Government, in dealing with all the homeless servant girls thrown upon its hands, would have to take in it. I cannot imagine what permanent good could reasonably be expected to result from such direct interference.

It will be seen from the above that, peculiar as Roman and American slavery was, Chinese slavery and Chinese domestic servitude have some essentially different features entirely their own.

It should be noted, moreover, that whilst the slavery of Europe and America was such that the moral sense at all times revolted from it, and constantly required to be pacified by new modes of justification, Chinese slavery and Chinese domestic servitude never required any special pleading to justify it before the tribunal of natural law or moral sense. Indeed, the moment we examine closely into Chinese slavery and servitude from the stand point of history and sociology, we find that slavery and servitude have, with the exception of the system of eunuchs, lost all barbaric and revolting features, and are but the natural phenomena of a social organism held in the bondage of patriarchalism. As this organism

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH FEBRUARY, 1880. 133

has had its certain natural evolution, it will as certainly undergo, in due time, a natural dissolution, which in fact has in more than one point already set in. But no legislative or executive measures taken in Hongkong will hasten this process, which follows its own course and its own laws, laid down by a wise Providence which happily overrules for the good all that is evil in this world.

　　　　　To sum up this somewhat too elaborate argument, and to point its conclusions with special reference to the question of Chinese domestic servitude in Hongkong as practised by the general body of the Chinese inhabitants, I venture to say that the foregoing essay, if it proves anything at all, proves the truth of the following propositions

　　　　　1. Chinese domestic servitude is so peculiar and differs so widely in its essential characteristics from negroe slavery that it cannot be logically brought under the provisions of any English enactment regarding that form of slavery, Police prosecution of Chinese domestic servitude under any law made with reference to negroe slavery would therefore constitute an act of very doubtful legality.

　　　　　2. Chinese domestic servitude appears to be a low form of social development when judged by the advanced standard of European civilization, but when judged by the relative standard of Chinese civilization, founded on entirely different principles, it has its legitimation as the best possible form of social development under the circumstances. Absolute condemnation of Chinese domestic servitude would therefore be an act of moral injustice.

　　　　　3. Chinese domestic servitude is not an excrescence on but a necessary part of the patriarchal order of things which characterizes the social life of the Chinese residents of Hongkong. To prohibit Chinese domestic servitude in toto, would therefore constitute an act of violence, as striking at the very roots of the social organism, the results of which would, in all probability, be harmful to the Chinese and embarrassing to the Government.

　　　　　4. Chinese domestic servitude, hitherto upheld in Hongkong by the conservative tendencies of the patriarchal organism in China, is bound by the laws of nature to yield eventually to the progressive tendencies of modern society. Undue interference with this process would therefore be an act of in- judicious intolerance.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH FEBRUARY, 1880.

GOVERNMENT EDUCATION, HONGKONG.

PRIZE DISTRIBUTION AT GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS, AND A GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOL,

5TH AND 7TH FEBRUARY, 1880.

The following is extracted from the Local Papers.

His Excellency Governor HENNESSY, C.M.G., went on the 5th instant, to the Government Schooli at Wan-tsai, to give away the rewards and prizes for the Masters and Pupils of the Government Schools (outside the Central School) in this Colony. The building was filled to overflowing, many of the Chinese inhabitants of the neighbourhood being present.

His Excellency arrived at 3 P.M., when some 200 boys, representing the prize boys of 29 different Government Schools, were in waiting, together with their Masters. When the Governor had taken his seat, the Inspector of Schools, Dr. EITEL, addressed His Excellency as follows :---

May it please Your Excellency, The Masters and pupils of the Government Schools of this Colony, outside the Central School, are here assembled to-day to receive the rewards and prizes allotted to them for the year 1879. The rewards to be given to the Masters are grants of $25 and $15 which have been sanctioned, since the year 1877, by the Secretary of State for annual distribution among those Masters of Government Schools whose schools are classed for the year as "very good" or as "good" respectively. In the present case I have, on the basis of my periodical inspections and of the annual examinations, determined upon the following classification.

I. ANGLO-CHINESE SCHOOLS. 1. Very good.

Sai-ying-phun, Mr. Fung F?. Wong-nai-ch'ung, Mr. Ch'an Man-kwong.

2. Good.

W?n-tsai, Mr. Lo Sik-ling.

II. CHINESE SCHOOLS.

2. Good.

Shau-ki-w?n, the late Mr. Shing Nghang. Yau-ma-ti, Mr. Ch'an I-hing.

Sai-ying-ph?n, Hakka, Mr. Ip Ch?ung-shin.

　　　　Your Excellency is aware that since your arrival in the Colony three schools for English teaching have been added to the one school, that of Aberdeen, previously existing. We have therefore new four schools, outside the Central School, in which English is being taught by the Government. Taking these Anglo-Chinese Schools first, I found that the English School kept by Mr. Fung Fu in Third Street, Sai-ying-p'?n, had to be classed as the best school. I am sure that the results which the examination of this school disclosed are fully equal to the results of teaching given at the Central School in corresponding classes. But I must explain that this school was at work all the year on the optional principle which, with Your Excellency's permission, I applied to this school as an experiment. that the school was opened at the beginning of 1879 with some 61 pupils, that at first the parents of 15 pupils declared their wish that their children should be taught both English and Chinese, whilst the remainder declared for English teaching only, and that after a few months, however, with one solitary exception, all the parents declared for exclusively English teaching. I examined the children in accordance with the Standards of the Grant-in-aid Schedule, and I was surprised by the exceedingly high results they obtained, although I was aware that Mr. Fuse Fu, the master, who has had a Col- legiate education in America, was a thoroughly competent teacher. The next best Anglo-Chinese School I found to be that of Wong-nai-ch'ung under Mr. CH'AN MING KWONG, who, in accordance with the wishes of the parents, has all the year through been teaching both English and Chinese to the same boys. It is satisfactory to know that the enlightened inhabitants of that little hamlet, who first stipulated for the introduction of English teaching in their school, continue to pay one-fourth of the

alary into the Colonial Treasury with never-failing regularity. I would have recommended promotion to Yau-ma-ti, but the villagers were loth to part with him as he has gained

Midence.

The

perret to say the Wantsai Anglo-Chinese School was not found equal in the results of the year's ther two schools which fully deserved to be classed as "very good," but I could cons- Miss it as "good." In the Aberdeen Anglo-Chinese School, I am sorry to say, the results

ination yielded were such that the school could not even be classed as "fair." ver, can scarcely he blamed, as intermittent fever seriously interfered with his health and nd children, few of whom ventured to remain in school until the close of summer, when er having lost his wife, his brother and two servants within four months through fever, to Hospital, and the school to be closed for six weeks. The school-house was condemned, the Colonial Surgeon and Surveyor General as unfit for a dwelling place, and rooms in an adjoining house where the school was subsequently re-opened, and no more trouble bon cased on the score of health.

for schools are the only Government Schools, outside the Central School, in which English Hut in 1879. I have been watching these schools with a view to form an opinion as to

results of the optional and compulsory systems. I am not fully prepared to pronounce sion at present, but of this I am convinced, both from what I observed in the Central 1s7s and in these schools in 1879,--that when both English and Chinese are taught side by n-uits are poor with the best teachers, and that when English is tanght in a school to the of Chinese, or Chinese is taught to the exclusion of English, the results are fairly proportionate ney of the teacher. In other words, when both the English and Chinese languages are by side in the same class, the children learn neither English properly nor Chinese satis- learning the Chinese language mere proficiency in reading and writing requires nearly sive teaching. The children in these schools all speak Chinese without exception; they riv all horn here and therefore British subjects; their own interests as well as the interests em dietate that they should learn English, and they might learn it, one and all, in six As well, if their time and strength were not wasted on the bootless attempt to learn the he same time. As the decision of the Secretary of State refers only, as I under- lution of the optional system into the Central School and not to the outside Aned to recommend that all these outside schools be kept open for all who come to by he compelled to try and do the impossible, whilst English be taught to those home English, and Chinese to those who wish to learn Chinese, with a view rather to make the language properly than to make them smatterets in two.

{

ads the purely Chinese Schools, the schools at Sheng-w?n, Stanley, and the Girl School le classed as "very good." the schools at H?-w?n, Tang-lung-chau, Yau-m?-ti and Sui-ring- port" and the remainder as "fair," with the exception of the schools at Mong-kok and Little which were conducted so badly that, unless speedy improvement takes place, serious men- I regret to bave also to mention that I had to exclude two schools, that of da und dui of Tai-tam-tuk, from the benefit of prizes, because, on two separate occasions, a surprise visit to these places lately, I found one school shut up and the other without at a time when both ought to have been at work.

llency then distributed the rewards to the teachers, and, after putting the pupils who hering English through a little vir? voce examination in spelling and reading, he A the prizes to the boys.

Govenson then said,--1 am glad to have the opportunity of meeting here the representatives overment Schools, exclusive of the Central School,-26 masters of those schools being It is salahctory to see such a large assembly of school-boys, more than one hundred of on learning English, whilst all, or nearly all, of these boys were born in this Colony, British subjects. No doubt you are all aware that, apart from the moral effects of bit and character, the high-road to worldly prosperity, to social rank and position in in the direction of English knowledge. I am glad, therefore, to be able to say that in four English Government Schools, outside the Central School, at present existing in the more will be opened for English teaching after the Chinese New Year. Furthermore, Hicks-Bracn has sanctioned the building of five new schools at a cost of $10.009, and de also English will be taught.

　　　I am aware that much is to be learned in Chinese books that is not perhaps inculcated now- days to the same extent in Western literature, as, for instance, filial piety, gentleness of conduct, and the formal restrictions of social etiquette. But there need be no difficulty in combining these lessons of a Chinese education with a thorough study of the English language. Nor, in doing so, need there be any departure from the ancient modes and forms of Chinese school life.

You have an example of what can be done in this way in the Chinese residents of another British Colony not far off, Singapore and the Straits Settlements, where many of the Chinese, without forsaking There is nothing, to their Chinese customs and manners, make the English language their own. prevent the acquisition of a good knowledge of English by any Chinese youth in the Colony who inay be really anxious to learn English; and no prize of material prosperity, social rank, or office so high that is not open to a British subject in this Colony, possessed of a thorough knowledge of English. I never make any distinction in giving away an office except that I seek for the man best fitted by education, talent and character, be he of Chinese or Foreign extraction. Let the Masters therefore lun their duty by those willing and anxious to be taught, and let the pupils take heart, face the difficulties of the English language and strive to gain for themselves a worthy position in this Anglo-Chinese community of Hongkong,--a community which whilst thoroughly Chinese in family feeling and character, in sobriety and industry, and a credit to the ancient civilizations of China, will be obedient to English law and staunch in sincere loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen-Empress.

The proceedings then terminated.

ST. JOSEPH'S GRANT-IN-AID SCHOOL.

　　　The annual distribution of prizes at St. JOSEPH's School took place on the 7th February, 18%.. His Excellency Governor HENNESSY, C.M.G., presiding. There was a large attendance of visitors.

The proceedings having been opened with music,

Bishop RAIMONDI said-Your Excellency, ladies, and gentlemen, the Brother Director of S JOSEPH'S College, who has been the manager of this school for four years, being absent, I have under. taken to act as manager for this year, and the duty therefore devolves upon me of addressing Excellency, and you, ladies and gentlemen, who have so kindly honoured us with your presence this occasion. One of my most pleasant duties has been to place this school under the grant-in-a scheme, and Dr. EITEL has been good enough to come here and examine the boys with that fairnes. and honesty that always characterises him. From the worthy Inspector of Schools your Excellen has, I presume, received an account of the satisfactory results of the examination. Our schools hav always been open to any gentlemen in the Government departments who might wish to come a inspect them. From this place where I now address you I spoke on the same subject two years ag and in my last report I repeated that we should always be very proud if at any time any one came at an hour to inspect our school and its management. Government inspection was no part of our objection to the grant-in-aid scheme. We had two objections to it, however, an importans one, involving pri ciples which we never could allow to be interfered with, and another, a secondary one, regarding th fees allowed by this scheme. Having been invited by the Right Honourable the Secretary of Stat for the Colonies to state my reasons for not availing of the advantages afforded by the grant-in-aid scheme, I took the liberty of suggesting some alterations therein. We have been very much gratific by the Government conceding the first seven points which we submitted, and we are extremely obliged to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies for having consented to modify the language of the rules in accordance with our suggestions. With respect to the second objection, which I have already stated was a secondary one, the Right Honourable the Secretary of State has kindly allowed a building grant, for which we are thankful, more especially as the grant-in-aid scheme requires con- ditions with regard to building, it becomes a necessity to have the money wherewith to meet that. Regarding the capitation grant, which we suggested should be raised, while suggesting a trial of the former one, the Right Honourable the Secretary of State gives hopes of some modification or alteration: being made therein hereafter. Of the several points which we submitted, one has not been granted. namely, that regarding the two hundred attendances. It would have seemed like ingratitude on our part for the extreme kindness and consideration shown us by the Home Government had we refused in consequence of this to avail ourselves of the advantages afforded by the grant-in-aid scheme, and we accordingly petitioned to be placed under it, at the same time expressing a hope that the question of the attendances would not be lost sight of. I have several times, and on different occasions, expressed my opinion that it is the greatest error in this respect not to distinguish a European school from a Chinese school. If the Chinese can complete easily their two hundred attendances a year, it is not so with the Europear: boys. It is a fact that, with all the advantages we had this year, the examination took place very late, not less than one hundred boys of the College could not be presented for examination. owing to their not having completed their two hundred attendances. At the Victoria Schools again. I know that out of sixty-five pupils only thirty could be examined for the same reason, and that two years ago the best boy in the school could not be rewarded owing to the same cause. Therefore it was that I asked for this question to be reconsidered when we applied to the Government for the grant-in-aid. Whatever the future may bring forth, however, it is our bounden duty at present to. desire your Excellency to convey our sincere thanks to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies for having shown to us, the Catholic community of Hongkong, such consideration and regard. Our best thanks are also due to the generous donors of the prizes, and especially to Mr. BELILIOS, whom I am very glad to see present; also to your Excellency for the prizes you have given and for having kindly consented to come here to-day. On my own part, and on behalf of the Christian Brothers, I can assure your Excellency, and you, ladies and gentlemen, that, independently of any concessions, we shall all continue to labour strenuously in the cause of education. To this im- portant work we have earnestly devoted ourselves since our arrival in the Colony twenty-two years ago. No trouble nor pains has been spared, and the mission has spent $200,000 in building and maintaining educational establishments in this Colony. To the same work we shall devote the resi of our life, and our motto shall allways be "Educate our youth."

An address to the Governor was then read by Master L. D'ALMADA, one of the pupils, after which the prizes were distributed by His Excellency according to the list given below, the names of the prize winners being called by Master ALFRED ADAMS, who himself took the first prize in English (a Gold Medal presented by the Governor).

　of the pupils. It is true his predecessor, Lord CARNARVON, addressed to me a despatch desiring to ask the Bishop how it came to pass that in this Colony the Roman Catholic schools were not accepting any aid from the Government. Accordingly a letter was addressed to the Bishop conveying the instructions I had received from Lord CARNARVON. The Bishop, in answering, went minutely into the objections that he and other managers of schools took to the grant-in-aid scheme, for it did so happen that he did not stand alone in the objections that he raised to it. At the very same time that his Lordship objected to the scheme as it then stood, the head of the Berlin Mission, Pastor KLITZKE, his successor during his absence, Pastor Louis, and our late Colonial Chaplain, Mr. KIDD, also came to me and stated their objections to the scheme. Those objections were reduced to writing and duly transmitted by me to Her Majesty's Government. They turned mainly on one point, that the scheme insisted that certain books to be used in the schools should be secular books and that four hours a day should be given to purely secular instruction. They said "Let us teach our schools as we ourselves "and the parents of the children think best, teaching according to the standards fixed upon by the "Government; let the Government select the subjects, let Government select its own Inspectors and "Examiners and give the grant-in-aid according to the result of their inspection and examination, "but do not tie us down to any specified class of books or four hours of secular teaching." Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH considered these objections, and of the ten points raised by the Bishop, he instructed me to grant seven, the other three being points of a different character, one of them relating to the two hundred attendances. I shall convey to the Secretary of State the cordial acknowledgments which the Bishop has made publicly to-day to Her Majesty's Covernment for what Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has done. I shall also not fail to consider most carefully the Bishop's observations with espect to the two hundred attendances. It is a fact that at Singapore there is a different rule, and ndeed the rule in England also on that subject is different. It is also, perhaps, a reasonable statement to make that whilst it may be perfectly fair to expect two hundred attendances from a Chinese boy, to expect the same from a European boy in this climate may not be equally fair. However, I shall consider that question.

The school we are now assembled in is therefore enjoying a grant-in-aid, and the question arises, what does the Government get from this school, what advantage will Her Majesty's Government derive from the grant-in-aid given in this and similar institutions? I admit at once it is the duty of the State to assist education, but I think it is especially our duty in this Colony to assist in giving a sound English education. It was therefore satisfactory to see that the young gentleman who read out the list of prizes so clearly got a first prize. His correct enunciation showed how well he deserves it. Dr. EITEL has reported that as far as English speaking goes, of all the schools he has been examining he regards this as the best; in arithmetic, he reports highly of his examination, and also in the art of handwriting. In other words, the English speaking, the writing, and the arithmetic in this school show a sound basis for our mercantile requirements. The Inspector has also reported that the results of the teaching in Algebra and Geometry are excellent. But there is one defect to which I venture, as I have received a report on the subject officially, to call the attention of the teachers, and that is in English Composition. Now, it arises I believe, not so much from the fault of the teachers as from the fact that the pupils are mostly young gentlemen of the Portuguese race. I observe my friend M. LOUREIRO, the Portuguese Consul, here. He sees a majority of apparently Portuguese youth in this school; but I claim them from him as British subjects, because, although they are of the Portuguese race they have been born in the Colony and therefore it is only their fathers or grandfathers he has charge of; I have official charge of these young gentlemen. In the address, which my young friend ALMADA. read, I have been invited to give the scholars advice. Acting on that invitation I therefore recommend that they should endeavour of all things to improve their English Composition. We all know what admirable clerks the young Portuguese make, we know how accurately they keep their accounts, how clear is their hand writing; and we know their other good points-fidelity, punctuality, and the courtesy that arises from a natural disposition to please--but they are defective in English Composition, and it is a most important thing in this Colony that they should pay attention to it, and that in this respect they should show they are equal to any other youths in Hongkong. I would therefore advise them to establish some organisation or society among themselves where they might read little essays in English and discuss them, and also to endeavour to form a library of English authors, not so much of instructive as of entertaining books; by reading these books and writing essays they might gain the skill they require in English Composition. I am sure in giving that advice, from what I have seen of the prizes to-day. I am only doing what the donors of the prizes would like. I find among the prizes some contri- buted by Dr. STEWART, the Head Master of the Central School, and all the prizes he has given are prizes pointing in that direction, to the teaching and studying of English.

Owing to the munificence of iny generous friend, Mr. BELILIOS, there is established in this Colony now a series of scholarships. The Honourable Mr. RYRIE, Dr. EITEL, and the Governor of the Colony are the trustees of the BELILIOS Scholarships. Some of these will be devoted to giving medical instruc tion to Chinese, which I hope to see accomplished by means of the native physicians at the Tung Wah Hospital in combition with a teacher of western medical science. Some of the scholarships go to the Central School; and some to this school. I advise the pupils who may compete for the BELILIOS scholarships to endeavour to work beyond the sixth standard to remain a little longer at school, and to give their attention in the direction I have been pointing, namely, to English composition and English

If we have a number of pupils here who understand English thoroughly, these young men -wing up as British subjects will certainly be as much entitled as any persons in this community to apart in our public affairs and to attain to any position as mercantile men or as officials that any

They thought that as far as went, their children would learn enough of it at home, and they felt the great object of their boys to a Government School was to have them learn English. I had much pleasure Aing some of those boys. I found them able to speak English pretty well; they were evidently y progress. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, the state of education in the Colony is that Her Majesty's Government have sanctioned a modification of the grant-in-aid scheme ich all classes and all denominations can now obtain the benefit of it. All classes have now ler it.

The chief education difficulty that I found existing here on my arrival has been by Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH's wise decision. What seemed to me to be another grave e Govenment scheme of public instructions in Hongkong-too much Chinese teaching and Luplish teaching--is being gradually removed. I believe the scheme as it is now worked is and useful scheme and will, in time to come, give a sound English education to the youth Colony.--(Applause.)

Another address, thanking His Excellency and the visitors for the intcrest they evinced in the

was then read by Master G. JoRGE.

Mr. BELILIOS then said-Your Excellency and your Lordship,---I am highly gratified and I feel obliged to you for the encomiuins you have thought fit to bestow upon ine, but I think I deserve or merit them, as in my belief I have done nothing more than what any citizen is in and to do for his fellow-inhabitants.

The praise lavished on me has compelled me to speak, and alloor this opportunity to pass without stating a few facts connected with the advantages this on has conferred on the community. I landed in the island in the year 1862. The firm widhi I served for a short time had preceded me by a few months. On their way to China they were was a dearth of clerks here, and they therefore thought it prudent to bring along a Portuguese with them from Singapore. This gentleraan left the house after the lapse of a few months, roining the firm in question to again import another young man from Penang. When I moal business oporations on my account I engaged a Portuguese clerk at $75 per month. This my wad o copyist, a mere drawer of figures and letters.

together, he would come to me and ask me to draft them out for him. He did nothing but

copy and some landing and shipping for me. Of course the older houses had their staff of Englishmen from Oxford and Cambridge, drawing large salaries, but the minor ones had to content themselves by having an hour or two of attendance from two old gentlemen who made a living by going about distributing the leisure hours at their disposal on several small houses here. Times have altered now, and con petent young men may be found who are prepared to occupy berths at small salaries, consequently almost every merchant's establishment and every store can boast of a clerk. I have a staff of Portuguese clerks, and I am very much pleased with them. They are steady, attentive, and painstaking, and I suppose I cannot replace them by a set of better men. To whom is all this due? I maintain it is owing to the exertions of the Christian Brothers and to the existence of the St Joseph's College. The older firms are commencing to employ them and they are finding situations in banks. I have no doubt that the time is not far distant when it will be found necessary to employ them generally. Iu landing this place of learning I do not mean to detract one single icta from the importance of the sister instituation, the Central School. On the contrary, I contend that if this has done much, the other is destined to do still more for the island. This school deals with a section of the community, whilst the other deals with the mass of the population. I dare the time will come, when a staff of Portuguese clerks and a European at their head, and, later on, a staff of Chinese clerks and a Portuguese at their head, will be capable of conducting large business establishments satisfactorily. When commerce and trade fail to afford large profits, it becomes imperative to retrench expenditure. In the principal cities of India, if you were to walk into large establishments you will see nothing but swarthy faces and turbaned heads hard at work, with perhaps one Englishman or one Eurasian to direct them. On inquiry as to salaries, you will be told that they range in rupees between the equivalents of ten to a hundred dollars. Education has done this for Indian, and education is certain to do the same for China. Men of business in future will have to be grateful to the managers of these two instituations for the benefits they will then enjoy.

The National Anthem was then played and the proceedings terminated.

Head 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word "broken" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.

Head 6.---If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months inmediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word "actual." In other cases the average animal amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word "average," but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.

Head 7.--A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.

　Whenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to oue-sixth of that amount, so shat it shall not excced one-seventh of the whole.

　Fees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of "Particulars" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension poses to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.

Head 8.--In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and. that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.

　In case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.

Head 9.-As to "broken" service, see Head 5.

　If the Applicant has had any "acting" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the "acting" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.

Head 11.-If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have "private practice” without

forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.

Head 14.--If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the

facts should be fully stated.

&c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH FEBRUARY, 1880.

　　　We have a system in our office of insisting on the personal attendance of the woman herself when she applies to have her name placed on the list of any brothels, and if the Inspectors have any reasons to suppose that the woman is unduly influenced, she is brought before me, and I make personal enqui ries and decide whether her name shall be put on the list or not. The whole thing is carried on jan outside my office door, one of the Inspectors speaking Chinese, and they have an Interpreter.

　　　Many of the women, and it is a frequent occurrence, contract a debt with the brothel keepers, and then work it off. Brothel keepers are in that way money lenders.

　　　I think that eight out of every ten of the women come from Canton, and the rest from Macao and other places. They are either bought or engaged at those places.

　　　All the inmates in the brothels know that they are free, but the national custom is very strong against their leaving them in debt. I think it is useless to try and deal with the question of the freedom of Chinese prostitutes by law or by any Government regulation. From all the surroundings, the thing is impracticable.

The women are brought to the Defendant, and sold to her.

The price was various,-bought here, the women cost from $50 to $150, and when sold in Colifornia, they were to be disposed of from $250 to $350 each. The Defendant has made a great deal of money. She has told me so. Some of the women have told me that they were unwilling to go. They were afraid to make a disturbance.

The floor was very crowded and sepe 'fitted up like a barracoon. There were no gratings to the windows. Four of the girls were in a room by themselves at the back of the house. They were all huddled up together and seemed frightened. The Defendants were in the front part of the house. The girls at the back of the house could not This house has been have got out without passing through the room in which the Defendants were. known to me for a long time as one where young girls were kept to be shipped off to California, About eighteen months ago I saw the 1st Defendant taking two girls from the Canton Wharf. They were about 14 or 16 years of age. I suspected, from information, that the girls had been brought into the Colony against their will. I followed the 1st Defendant into this very house. I asked her what she was doing with the girls, and she said she was their mother. There were two or three more women in the house. When I arrested the house, there was a girl in it named WONG-A-HI, who was formerly inmate of No. 90 foreign brothel in D'Aguilar Street. I know that this girl WONG-HI belongs to thi? 1st Defendant, who bought her. The 1st, 2nd and 4th Defendants seemed to have charge of the house.

No questions.

　　　LO-MING, declared, deposeth:--I am a jeweller and watch-repairer residing at No. 70, Wellington Street. I have resided there about three or four years. I know the 1st Defendant. She lives opposite to me at No. 71, Wellington Street. She has lived there some years, on the first floor. I bave cou- sequently seen a number of girls gcing into and out of the house. They seemed to arrive by steamer. soine in chairs and some walking. I know that the Defendant, from what I have seen of her and the girls whom I have seen going out of the house, was a buyer and seller of young girls to go to Macao.

No questions.

LAI-TIM, declared, deposcth:--I am carpenter living at 71, Wellington Street.

　I have always seen a number of young girls being taken in and out of the house. The ages of the girls ranged from 10 to 20 years. There was always a great deal of crying and groaning amongst the giris upstairs. I have not heard any beating, but the girls were constantly crying. The crying was annoying to me and the other people in the shop. The people living in the neighbourhood have, together with myself, suspected that the girls were bought and sold to go to California.

　　　CHAU-CHIN-HO, declared, deposeth:--I am an inmate of No. 60 foreign brothel. I know the 3r! Defendant. She was in the habit last year of taking young girls round about the Colony for sale They were of various ages, from 10 years to over 20. I knew the Defendant wanted to sell the girls, as she asked me if I knew any woman who wants to buy them. She comes from Canton.

The next morning, I was taken to the Shameen and brought down to Hongkong. I was taken to the same house in which I was found by the Inspector on Monday. This was in the tenth month last year. I saw the 1st Defendant in the house. There was one girl there. My mistress stopped in the house about three days. My mistress sold me to 1st and 2nd Defendants for $120. The 2nd Defendant is daughter to 1st Defendant. I was put to work sometimes to make clothes. The 4th Defendant came to the house from the country at the beginning of this year.

The Defendant said she knew a brothel in Singapore, kept by a friend, where A-Ho could go and get business. A-Ho promised to serve the Defendant for eight months, and was to receive $52. She was to serve the Defendant as a prostitute in the Singapore brothel. The Defendant promised to pay the money as the steamer was going. The Defendant paid the money, and A-Ho handed it to me. A-Ho left on 26th of the 8th moon of this year for Singapore. I saw her on board with the Defendant. On the evening of the 4th day of the 10th moon I received the [produced 4] letter from A-Ho, which is to the effect that she had been sold for $250 to another party. On the 26th or 27th of the 9th month I had received a letter [produced B] from A-Ho asking for clothes. It was brought me by the Defendant. On receiving the other letter (A), I went to the Defendant and asked her why she had sold my grand-daughter for $250 for two years? The Defendant promised to take me to Singapore to see my grand-daughter. I asked her to find security that she would produce my grand-daughter, if I went to Singapore. Yesterday morning the man who lives with the Defendant came to my house and said he would accuse me of extortion. He told me that he lived by selling women into brothels of Singapore. I came and reported the case at this Office.

　　　The Defendant states:-I took A-Ho to Singapore. I took her to the "Sai-Shing-Tong" brothel in Macao Street. She is still in that brothel.

Ordered to find security in the sum of $100 to appear to answer any charge within the next three months.

The Complainant, CHAN-A-KWAI, also ordered to find similar security in the sum of $70.

REPORT BY MR. C. C. SMITH, 2ND NOVEMBER, 1866.

BROTHER ORDINANCE.

CECIL C. SMITH, Registrar General.

There is another matter connected with the brothels licensed and unlicensed, in Hongkong, which almost daily assumes a graver aspect. I refer to what is no less than the trafficking in human flesh between the brothel keepers and the vagabonds of the Colony. Women are bought and sold in nearly every brothel in the place. They are induced by specious pretexts to come to Hongkong, and then after they are admitted into the brothels such a system of espionage is kept over them, and so frightened do they get, as to prevent any application to the Police. They have no relatives, no friends to assist. them, and their life is such that, unless goaded into unusual excitement by a long course of ill-treatment, they sink down under the style of life they are forced to adopt, and subunit patiently to their masters. But cases have occurred where they have run away and placed themselves in the hands of the Police, who, however, can do nothing towards punishing the offenders for the lack of evidence, the women being afraid to tell their tale in open Court. Women have, it is true, willingly allowed themselves to be sold for some temporary gain, but that brothel keepers shall be allowed to enter into such transactions is of serious moment. I have myself tried to fix such a case on more than one brothel keeper, but failed to do so, though there was no doubt of the transaction as I held the Bill of Sale. The only mode of action I had under the circumstances was to cancel the licence of the house.

In the interest of humanity, too, it might be enacted that any brothel keeper should be liable to a fine for having on his or her premises any child under fifteen of

years age.

*NOTE by Colonial Secretary:-The very first Ordinance passed in this Colony (by Sir H. POTTINGER) was against Slavery. It was disallowed as superfluous, Slavery being already forbidden, and slave-dealing indictable by law.

Surely the Bill of Sale here would have been sufficient evidence.

the rules of etiquette, spoke to us with kindly feeling, and received us with ready alacrity. We respectfully opine that the object His Excel-

lency's mind dwelt upon was to ascertain by such condescension the feelings of the people

and to probe resolutely the secret desires of his

subjects, in order that he might be able to im-

prove the mutual relations of fellowship and concord between the ruling and the ruled classes.

"This explains even more fully the disinte-

rested desire of His Excellency to be open to all

representations, whilst embodying the principles

of generous goodness, and one cannot fail to observe that lie was but developing and revealing

his innate condescension and gentleness which

prompted him almost to keep out of mind his

inborn dignity and nobility. Whilst beholding

this sight, we were very deeply impressed with

it. It seems to us that His Excellency's admi-

nistration of the Government prizes above all

things justice and fairness, to the exclusion of

all distinctions of nationality, and that the depth

of his benevolence and the extent of his bounty

is greater than words can express. We may be permitted, however, on this occasion to bring

forward one or two points with reference to late

events and thereby commemorate His Excel- lency's abundant goodness.

"The Chinese population of the Colony now numbers more than one hundred thousand peo- ple, and far more than one half of the revenue of the Government comes from Chinese residents. Hitherto we never yet heard of such a thing as

giving the Chinese residents some representative

among the members of the Legislative Council. But now His Excellency the Governor, prompted by his love for the people, pursued a course of strict fair-play, and specially appointed Mr. NG CHOY to a seat on the Legislative Council, a step which had never before been taken since the first opening of this Colony, and the news of which fills everybody near and far with gratitude and joy. The object of our present deputation is to express our respectful thanks for this appoint-

ment.

　　　Again, some years ago, a terrible typhoon swept over this Colony, when multitudes of people were drowned in the sea, so that, up to the present day, more than a hundred skeletons are being washed on shore and laid bare on the. beach at Stonecutters' Island and in the vicinity.

When we accordingly petitioned for permission to engage labourers to collect these human re- mains and in time to give them a peaceful inter- ment, His Excellency the Governor, as soon as he heard of it, spontaneously undertook to defray from his own private purse the expenses of burial. To inter such skeletons, to bury such human remains, was of old an object of benevolent Gov- ernments, and even now such kindness, extended to bleached bones, is self-apparent to the living. ner in which His Excellency holds the scales of Government without distinction of Chinese or Foreigners, and the manner in which the in- fluence of his goodness is extended in oblivion of

"The foregoing two points illustrate the man-

THE GOVERNOR replied, Dr. ErTEL inter-

preting his remarks as he proceeded.

　HIS EXCELLENCY suid-Gentlemen. I am extremely glad to have the pleasure of receiving

you. I know that you represent the Chinese

community. I see here to-day friends of mine who are undoubtedly amongst the wealthiest

merchants in this Colony. I see gentlemen here

of the Nam-p?k hongs who are engaged in send-

ing into China from north to south British goods.

I see one gentleman here who, I believe, is the

largest individual owner of British steamers in

this Colony, my friend Mr. KWOK ACHEONG. I

see also representatives here to-day of every other

important business in this Colony. It is there-

fore gratifying to me that you should have come

at this season--the Chinese New Year- to con-

gratulate me on having appointed Mr. NG CHOY

to a seat on the Legislative Council. Before I made that appointment I had the opportunity of

learning your own views about it. I knew

you.

that my honourable friend would truly represent It was not merely because he is a man of high character, with a thorough knowledge of English language and English law-it was not

meiely for that reason I appointed him, but I appointed him also because I knew he had your confidence.

But I do not wish to take too much credit to myself for having for the first time in this Colony appointed a Chinese gentleman to a seat on the Council. One of my predecessors wrote des- patches to Her Majesty's Government--you might be aware of the fact for the despatches are printed --in which the question of Chinese representa- tion was referred to, many years ago. Governor Sir JOHN BOWRING, in 1855, said he should be glad to associate the Chinese with the action of the Government, and he recommended Her Ma- jesty's Government to have a system in this Colony by which every lot holder of ?10 rental or upwards would be able to vote for five un-official members of the Legislative Council. And in the same despatches Sir JOHN BOWRING said that the Chinese, as at Singapore, ought to be put into the Magistracy, made Justices of the Peace. Now, the changes in property that have occurred in this Colony, since the time when Sir JOHN BOWRING made that recom- mendation, have been so great that the majority of the electors that he then indicated would at this day be Chinese. Another Governor, Sir HERCULES ROBINSON, in a despatch describing what the Chinese have done for Hongkong, made the remark that the Cese are more than ninety per cent. of the pone.ation and that they con- tribute a similon proportion to the revenue.

　Some years 'wiltint, in a neighbouring colony, in Singapevthe Governor recommended my old and hel friend, Mr. Ho AH KAY WHAM- POA, to a voit on, the Council. Mr. WHAMPOA has been a friend and correspondent of mine for more than twelve years, and I can say this for him, that there hever has sat upon the Council of Singapore any non-official member who has been of more assistance to the Government or more

1878 the Chinese gentlemen of the Co-

lony called my attention to the growth of the crime of kidnapping and they asked for my per- mission to be allowed to form an association and co-operate with the Government in putting down

　　this crime. Within the last few weeks I have printed in the Government Gazette the criminal

　　returns for the years 1879, 1878, and 1877, from which you will be able to see what has been done

by the Government of the Colony to carry out

the views of the Chinese community. Now, in

the year 1877 there were seventy-three cases of

kidnapping. That was a large number, and it

attracted the attention of the Chinese in the Co-

lony. Next year they called my attention to it

and I gave strict instructions to the police. In the year 1878 the number of cases had fallen to fifty-three, and in the year 1879 to fifty-one.

In connection with this subject you have also heard of slavery in Hongkong. I am heartily ashamed, as the representative of the Government of this Colony, that for many years in connection with what are called the brothel laws there un- doubtedly has prevailed a system of positive slavery. One of the Government departments entrusted with the administration of that Ordi- nance was aware of the fact that women were bought and sold to be put into the brothels of the Colony. As recently as the 1st December, 1877, the Registrar-General, in his evidence be- fore a commission I appointed on this subject, expressed the opinion that such women were bought; he also went on to say “I think it is useless to try and deal with the question of the freedom of Chinese prostitutes by law or by any Government regulation. From all the surround- ings the thing is impracticable." I find that about ten years before, the then Colonial Secretary, Mr. MERCER, recorded the fact that a Bill of Sale which had come into a Government Department in connection with such a transaction was in his opinion illegal and was sufficient evidence of slave-dealing indictable by law. I agree with Mr. MERCER. I differ from the gentleman who gave his evidence in 1877 that the freedom of such women cannot be dealt with by law or by Government regulation. And I know that you

all agree with me, and that I speak the sentiments of the Chinese community of the Colony when I that it is our duty to put down by the force of law all practices that deprive such women of their freedom in this Colony. Therefore, on these questions, so far, we are perfectly agreed, you

　　　and I. But now as to the question, which is a totally different one, of what is called buying children for adoption or domestic service. Upon that question I will say a few words to you.

　　There is nothing in the practice of adoption which is either wrong or opposed to British law. Nor is there anything in British law opposed to domestic service or the making of contracts for domestic service. What the British law objects to is the buying and selling of human beings for any purpose. Putting aside that part of it, the buying and selling of human beings, I have no

in point of fact, no such collisions as these gentle-

men anticipated between Chinese and Europeans

bave ever actually occurred in any place of public recreation or elsewhere in this Colony. I am therefore about to suggest again to the committee

of the City Hall the propriety of trying the free opening of the Museum, say for a limited time,

such as six months, and in that way testing the question which they have raised.

　　　But meanwhile the project which you have put before me to-day will go on. You are enti-

tled to have your own Chamber of Commerce,

and you are entitled to have your own Industrial

Museum. I shall do everything in my power to

get both for you. And now, gentlemen, I have

only again to thank you for having paid me

your visit to-day and for the address which you have presented to me. I most cordially wish

you all a prosperous year.

Mr. CHOK WAI-YUK, of the Fuk-ki piece goods

firm, said-What Your Excellency has said ex-

presses the feeling of all the people in Hongkong.

It is truth and it is justice. All the Chinese

people of Hongkong, without any exception, share the feelings Your Excellency has expressed.

192 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25TH FEBRUARY, 1880.

in point of fact, no such collisions as these gentle-

men anticipated between Chinese and Europeans

bave ever actually occurred in any place of public recreation or elsewhere in this Colony. I am therefore about to suggest again to the committee

of the City Hall the propriety of trying the free opening of the Museum, say for a limited time,

such as six months, and in that way testing the question which they have raised.

　　　But meanwhile the project which you have put before me to-day will go on. You are enti-

tled to have your own Chamber of Commerce,

and you are entitled to have your own Industrial

Museum. I shall do everything in my power to

get both for you. And now, gentlemen, I have

only again to thank you for having paid me

your visit to-day and for the address which you have presented to me. I most cordially wish

you all a prosperous year.

Mr. CHOK WAI-YUK, of the Fuk-ki piece goods

firm, said-What Your Excellency has said ex-

presses the feeling of all the people in Hongkong.

It is truth and it is justice. All the Chinese

people of Hongkong, without any exception, share the feelings Your Excellency has expressed.

The deputation then withdrew.

REVOLVING LIGHT, CAPE CLEVELAND.

　　ON and after this date, a Revolving Light of the 4th order will be exhibited from the Light-house placed near the extremity of Cape Cleveland.

　　The illuminating apparatus, which is dioptric, stands at an elevation of 210 feet above the sea level, and the Light, which attains, its greatest brilliancy every twenty seconds, is visible from the deck of a small craft about 19 miles.

　　The light shows red through an arc of about 16 degrees, the centre of which is in line with the Salamander Reef. Ves- sels from the soutward, after passing through the red sector, will, while the white light is in sight, be clear of that danger.

The tower is painted white, and is 35 feet in height.

SINGAPORE ROCK, K ?SLANDS AND OUTLYING DANGERS, KOCKS OFF

CAPE CONWAY, AND REEFS IN REPULSE BAY.

THE following information relative to Singapore Rock, the K Islands, and outlying dangers, Rocks off Cape Conway, and Reefs in Repulse Bay, has been supplied by Staff Commander Bedwell, R.N., the Admiralty Surveyor.

Singapore Rock. This danger, which is of very small extent, uncovers at ordinary spring tides, and lies half-a-mile south of the west point of L. 1 Isles.

There are from 9 to 18 fathoms close to.

　　Clearing mark.-Linn? Peak, seen through the passage or gap between M. Isles on a N.W. N. bearing, leads two- thirds of a mile outside Singapore Rock.

　　K1 Isle (Peak) and outlying dangers.--East 13 miles from K 1 Island lies a rock 3 feet above high-water springs, and nearly in the passage between these is another rock, uncovering at low-water neaps.

This latter danger bears E. by S. S., 14 miles from the Peak.

There are 17 to 28 fathoms round these dangers.

　　A dangerous reef, nearly 4 miles in circumference, with 3 feet of water on its shallowest parts, and 21 to 29 fathoms close around, exists 16 miles E. & N. from K 1 Island.

　　E. by N. 4 N., 183 miles from K 1 Island is another dangerous reef about 3 cables in extent, which covers at a quarter Hood, with 20 to 30 fathoms within a cable's length. The detached reef shown on the chart, bearing E. by N. N. 21 miles from K 1 Island, may possibly be intended for this latter danger.

　　The shoal shown as sand and rocks on the Admiralty charts, bearing E. by N., distant 124 miles from K Island, was found to be a low sandy cay of small extent, covering at H.w. neaps, forming the northern edge of a coral reef 1 mile in circumference. It bears E. N., 9 miles from K Island; the old position being 3 miles too far to the N.E. There are from 25 to 30 fathoms close to the edge of this reef.

　　K 4 Island, about 2 cables in extent and 93 feet high, with a few bushes on the summit, was found to be 1 mile E.N.E. of the position assigned to it on the charts. It bears E.N.E., distant 9 miles from K Island.

　　This islet lies at the western edge of a large encircling coral reef, covering at a quarter flood, 6 miles in circumference, the north extreme of which is 1 mile north of the islet. On the same reef, and near the western edge, of a mile north

The Island is 102 feet high, with a few pandanus the lhest part; a sand-spit covering at high-water extends a quarter of a mile West of it. This island is essenind by a coral reef upwards of a mile in extent, with 17 to 28 fathonis at a cable's distance.

The the sandlanks shown on the chart bearing E.N.E. 64 miles, and N.E. by N. 7 miles respectively from K Island, vant, there being 27 to 29 fathoms on the positions assigned to them.

VICTORIA GAOL OFFICE, HONGKONG, 8th March, 1880.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the usual Returns for the Annual Blue Book. They consist of:-

1st.-Statistical Returns of the Prison of Hongkong for the year 1879.

2nd. Return showing the number of Prisoners in Victoria Gaol on the last day of each week

of the year 1879.

3rd.-Return showing the Classification of Offences for which prisoners were committed to

Victoria Gaol from the respective Courts of the Colony during the year 1879.

2. Return No. 2 is of doubtful utility as it is apt to mislead as to the actual state of crime in the Colony. A comparison of the weekly averages of prisoners in Gaol at any period cannot give an ide of the increase or decrease of crime at that period, for it is a fact which I will proceed to prove that the years in which the weekly averages were largest have been those in which there was the smallest amount of crime. Take for instance the years 1872, 1876, and 1879. The respective averages of the number of prisoners confined in Victoria Gaol during these years are 519, 438, and 572; this would

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1880.

223

w to warrant the inference that in the year 1879 crime was more rife than in 1872 or 1876. For the admissions to the Gaol in 1879 are less than those in 1872 or 1876, the Bat this is not so. issions being

In 1872,

1876,..... 1879,...

6,268 admissions.

....

4,065

.3,669

　　　　　This showing that although the weekly average of 1879 is larger than that of 1872, the admissions the former year are less by 2,599 than in the latter year.

3. I have often heard the remark made during the last two years.

"Your numbers still keep vy high." But as I have already shown we cannot judge by comparison of the weekly average of state of crime in the Colony-at any two periods. The explanation of the difference between the kly averages of two such years as 1872 and 1879 seems to me to be this. During the last year there feu fewer convictions of prisoners for short terms of imprisonment than there used to be formerly. stoffenders when apprehended are either sent to the Supreme Court where they receive long

or are sent to prison for six months which is the longest sentence a Magistrate can give. bitual criminal now brought before the Supreme Court receives a long sentence, say seven years. if this appears once only in the seven years as an addition to the Gaol, but forms an unit in every y average during that period. Whereas in former years when short sentences were the rule the cane prisoner might appear five or six different times in one year, and swell up the total of prisoners

ted during the year.

1. If the number of admissions to the Gaol be any criterion of the state of crime, the Colony is to ratulated on the decrease of crime during the last two years which compare favourably with the sixteen years taking into consideration the increase of pepulation. The admissions during I wars have been as follows:-

5. This speaks well for the deterrent effect of the discipline at present carried on in the Gaol. The which has attended the adoption of the separate system is in my opinion complete, and I only that there seems no near prospect of its more extended application.

4. At the close of 1878 in accordance with a recommendation, made on my suggestion by the mission, which sat under the Chairmanship of Mr. Justice SNOWDEN, an attempt was mode to dhe separate system on a small scale. Two large basement halls which bad been used for purposes were divided off into 46 cells. These were ready for occupation at the close of 1878. Lemmoned introducing into them old offenders who were constantly returning to Gaol. From the 1mber 1878 to the 30th November 1879, one hundred and three prisoners passed through these unate cells, remaining in them from fourteen days to six months according to their sentences. They ployed at oakum picking, string making, tailoring or any other employment for which they Lipted, and were allowed one hour's exercise in the yard every day.

Proin the very commencement, as I anticipated, the prisoners disliked the system and tried every to escape it. In the first month there were several attempts at suicide, but I found they were ind as the prisoners did not get released thereby, but were in addition subjected to rigorous Several times each day to prevent them from secreting articles which might feilitate : they found it wiser to accept the discipline. The separate cells so far from being injurio to Jh of the prisoners have contributed the fewest inmates to the Hospital, only five having been

hunted:

SHIPPING.

　　　2. Hongkong, like all other parts of the World, has suffered somewhat from the depression of trad and the present returns shew a reduction of 5:28 per cent on the arrivals published last under Continental flags have declined the most.

year. Vessel- There is also a decrease in the arrivals and departur of Chinese Junks.

　　　3. The decrease of the Junk trade may be partially accounted for by the increase of 30,895 tons~- in 1879 on 1878-carried in foreign built ships under the Chinese flag. These vessels have greater privileges than vessels under foreign flags, as the whole of the Ports of China are open to them, an their movements must necessarily affect the Junk trade.

　　　4. Of the whole inward trade of the Colony amounting to 4,122,668 tons, the Chinese, by Junks and in foreign bottoms, have the conveyance of 42.36 per cent of the tonnage.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MARCH, 1880.

247

5. The entire decrease in 1879 as compared with the previous year is 230,000 tons. Of this amount, trade in British bottoms shews a reduction of 1.46 per cent; Siamese 8.30 per cent; French 9.75 per cent; American 11.81 per cent; Danish 19.76 per cent; Spanish 19.86 per cent; German 35.36 per cent; and Dutch 73.13 per cent; while the trade in Austrian, Belgian, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish vessels, which has never been much, has also fallen off.

6. Of the Countries whence the tonnage is less in 1879 than arrived in 1878, the following is the proportion :---

From China and Formosa,

United States,.

India and Singapore,

Cochin China,

Great Britain,

Japan,

Hainan and Gulf of Tonquin, Australia and New Zealand, Siam,

4.47 per cent. 9.67

..18.00

19.45

.22.39

.23.69

27.97

.29.22

....31.06

as against this decrease there has been an increase of 29.69 per cent on arrivals from Macao, and of 20.14 per cent on arrivals from the Philippine Islands.

7. Although Macao shows so favourable an increase, a large proportion of this tonnage arises from the changes made by the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steam-boat Company in the running arrange- ments of their vessels.

8. There is an increase in the tonnage of steamers arriving, the whole steam tonnage amounts to 2,204,901 tons or 3.18 per cent in excess of the tonnage entered in 1878. The trade in vessels propelled by sails, except Junks, is 265,744 tons or 41.50 per cent less than in 1878. Of the steam tonnage 82.06 per cent was under the British flag; 6.82 per cent under the French flag; 4.29 per cent under the Chinese flag; 3.39 per cent under the German flag; and 1.58 per cent under the United States' flag.

9. The China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company appear to be doing a large trade and for the first time the Chinese flag has made its appearance in foreign waters distantly situated from China. A vessel was despatched from Canton to the Sandwich Islands carrying Cargo and Natives to Hcno- lulu. This is possibly but the precursor of a more extended direct trade between China and foreign Countries.

10. The Mitsu Bishi Company (Japanese) opened their line of Steam-ships from Yokohama and Kobe &c., to Hongkong in October 1879, and these vessels have run with great regularity. The ships have good speed, are well officered and manned and bid fair to be strong competitors for a more extended direct trade than the Japanese at present possess.

JUNK TRADE.

11. On the whole, there is a decrease of 109,473 tons under this heading, or 6.21 per cent on the arrivals in 1878; which bears a fair comparison with the decline of trade in foreign vessels. Junk owners cannot expect exemption from the fluctuations of trade, and now they have so formidable a body as the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company to compete with the trade in native vessels will probably still further decline.

　　　　　　　12. There has been an increase of 10,872 tons arriving from Maco; and a loss of 120,345 tons in native vessels from the Coast of China and Formosa.

13. There has been increased activity between Vic oria and the Outstations of the Island to the extent of 18,182 tons.

EMIGRATION.

　　　　　　　14. The emigration of Chinese for the year under review shews a total of 33,529 souls as against 58,653 in 1878 or a falling off of 5,124 in number. Of this decline 1,581 fewer Chinese have gone to the Australian Colonies, and 4,209 fewer have left Hongkong for Manila. Emigration to Manila from Hongkong is however largely supplemented by vessels going direct from Amoy and Swatow to that Colony.

15. There is an increase of 915 Chinese emigrants to the United States of America.

　　　　　　　16. Of Chinese returned to their Native land 2,660 more have arrived than in 1878, and these are nearly all from the Australian Colonies. The numbers returned from other Countries are about the

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

　　17. Of the five vessels registered here in 1879 is one, the Powan, the tonnage of which has been rectified; the vessel having formerly been registered as of 636.69 tons capacity while now, without any alterations, the vessel is 1,842.57 tons. Under the Merchant Shipping Ordinance of 1879-not yet confirmed-it is to be hoped that such miscalculations cannot again occur.

MARINE MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

18. The Offences have been few in number and of no serious nature.

EXAMINATIONS FOR THE POSTS OF MASTERS AND MATES,

UNDER ORDINANCE No. 17 OF 1860.

19. There were 48 Candidates for Certificates of Competency, of whom 43 obtained Certificates of Competency and 5 failed to satisfy the Examiners.

20. A great want felt here from there being no legal Board for the examination and granting of Certificates to Marine Engineers will be removed this year.

MARINE COURTS, UNDER ORDINANCE No. 11 OF 1860.

21. The following Courts have been held during the year:--

1. On the 11th February, 1879, inquiry as to the Misconduct of the Master (MOSES HENRY KERRUISH) of the British barque Black Watch, Official No. 45,073 of London. The Master's Certi- ficate of Competency was returned.

2. On the 25th March, 1879, inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Yesso, Official No 48,343 of Hongkong, on the White Rocks. The Master's (SAMUEL ASHTON) Certificate of Competency was suspended for three months.

3. On the 1st May, 1879, inquiry as to the collision of the British Steam-ship Killarney, Official No. 65,876 of Dublin, with a Chinese Fishing Junk, about one and a half miles to the North West o Aichau Island, by which four lives were lost. The Master's (HENRY O'NEILL) Certificate of Compe tency was returned.

4. On the 24th June, 1879, inquiry as to the Misconduct of the first Mate (CHARLES SAUTER) 0 the British ship G. C. Trufant, Official No. 70,696 of London. The first Mate was severely reprimande and recommended that he be discharged from the ship.

5. On the 28th October, 1879, inquiry as to the collision of the British Steam-ship Amoy, Officia No. 68,490 of London, with the Hongkong licensed Fishing Junk No. 1,545, about 20 miles W.S.W · of Chelang Point, causing the total loss of the Junk and also the death by drowning of six persons The Second Mate's (JAMES JOHN SULLIVAN) Certificate of Competency was suspended for three mouths

SEAMEN.

22. There is a sensible decrease in the number of Seamen shipped and discharged at this Por during the year, caused by Steam-ships superseding Sailing vessels. The number shipped is 6,438 c 18.42 per cent less than in 1878, and the number discharged is 6,925 or 14 99 per cent less than i

. 1378.

　23. The Steam-ships as a rule bring their men from England and take them back again. Where under the sailing ship time, vessels arrived, discharged their crews and remained here until furthe employment was obtained when fresh crews were shipped.

I have the honour to be.

another School, opened on 1st March, 1879, pay- ment has been calculated pro rata, this being the condition under which the School was accepted by the Government. As regards St. JOSEPH'S College, I have to state that the figures in the enclosed table refer only to the results of the examination of those boys who, from 1st January, 1879, up to the day of examination, 29th January, 1880, had completed the 200 attendances required by the Schedule, but that I have kept a Memo- randum regarding the results of the examination of those boys whose attendance was insufficient, which Memorandum can hereafter be referred to, if required.

The sum total earned by the Grant-in-aid Schools amounts for last year to $6,124.54 as against $4,811.53 in 187 and $3,752.90 in 1877. Out of this sum the grant earned by the Victoria School, amounting to $370.74 has al- ready been paid under an advance warrant, leav- ing a balance still due of $5,753.80.

The actual amount payable under the revised Schedule for passes in extra subjects under Rule No. 22 of the Schedule is at present under con- sideration, but I have meanwhile calculated the amount at the rate of $2 for an extra pass in

each extra subject of Standard VI of Schools in 年 Class IV as fixed by the Schedule in Rule No. 22. The amount total provided for Grants-in-aid in the Estimates for 1880 is $6,000. Of this sum we have already spent $230 in gratuities for those Masters of Government Schools whose schools were classed respectively as "very good" and as “good.” There will therefore be an ex- cess of $354.54 over the sum estimated, in ex- planation of which I have but to refer to the fact that several schools were accepted under the Grant-in-aid Scheme after the Estinates for 1880 had been prepared.

I did not employ an Assistant Examiner, but as regards the classification of che merits of the needlework in Girls' Schools, the following Ladies kindly undertook to act as Judges, viz., Mrs. BURDON, Lady SMALE, Mrs. CHALMERS, Miss. S. J. ANDERSON, M.D., Mrs. VIRGINIA ?. R. Do ROZARIO, Miss SCHROEDER and Miss JOHNSTone.

　　As there has been considerable delay in the preparation of this complicated account, in con- sequence of circumstances over which I had no control, I beg to recommend that an advance warrant for the sum of $5,753.80 be issued at once so that the Managers may without delay receive the sums which their schools have earned in the past year.

　　I reserve all comments regarding the educa- tional results of the year 1879, as disclosed by these examinations, for my general report.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

E. J. EITEL,

Inspector of Schools.

　　The following amended rules relating to Pensions, together with an amended "Form of Particu- lars" to be inserted in the Appendix to the Colonial Regulations in place of the Form now printed at pages 112 and 113, which have been forwarded by Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, are published for general information.

No. 76.

§ III. Pensions and Retiring Allowances.

　　97. In the absence of any Local Law, each application for a pension or retiring allowance as it presents itself must be specially considered and treated on its own merits. Except in the case of Officers appointed prior to 5th August, 1829, the amount of pension to be granted, if any, will be generally regulated by the principles of the British Superannuation Acts 4 and 5 W. 4. c. 24. and 22 Vict. c. 26. But it must be clearly understood that the maximum rate of pension is not always awarded, and that when public employment is combined with the practice of a private profession, no pension will be granted, unless the retiring Officer had acquired a claim to Superannuation before the passing of the Act 22 Vict.c. 26. or had had his right to a pension otherwise and specially preserved. The cases of Officers having had private practice, whose services commenced after the passing of the Act 22 Vict. c. 26. and whose appointments may be abolished, will be specially considered.

Declaration between the British and French Governments prolonging the Duration of the existing

Treaties of Commerce and Navigation between Great Britain and France.

Signed at Paris, October 10, 1879.

　　The Government of Her Britannic Majesty and the Government of the French Republic, foresee- ing the case in which the commercial and maritime relations between Great Britain and France should not have been settled by fresh arrangements be- fore the 21st December, 1879, the period at which the existing Commercial Treatics and Conventions are to expire, and wishing to secure for the manu- facturers and merchants of both countries a suffi- cient delay to conclude the operations in course of

execution.-

　　Have agreed to prolong, for a period of six months before their definitive termination, the Conventional Acts in force between Great Britain and France.

　　Considering, besides, that, according to the terms of the Law passed in France on the 4th August last, which confers on the Government of the Republic the power of prolonging the Com- mercial Treaties and Conventions, the duration of their prolongation cannot exceed six months from the promulgation of the new General Customs Tariff submitted to the approbation of the French Chambers,

　　The High Contracting Parties agree that the stipulated delay of six months shall commence from the day either anterior or posterior to the 1st January, 1880, on which the new General Customs. Tariff shall have been promulgated.

　　The benefit of the prolongation shall apply to the Conventional Acts enumerated hereafter, that is to say:

　　1. Treaty of Commerce of the 23rd January, 1860.

2. Additional Article of the 25th February, 1860.

　　3. Second Additional Article of the 27th June, 1860.

　　4. First Supplementary Convention of the 12th October, 1860.

　　5. Second Supplementary Convention of the 16th November, 1860.

　　6. Treaty of Commerce and Navigation of the 23rd July, 1873.

　　7. Supplementary Convention of the 24th January, 1874.

8. Declaration of the 24th January, 1874.

　　In witness whereof, the Undersigned, acting in the name of their respective Governments, have drawn up the present Declaration, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

　　Done in duplicate, at Paris, the 10th day of October, 1879.

Small islet, lying 13 cables south-westward from Split rock, is a small, brown, rocky islet, 30 feet high. A channel exists between Split rocks and Small islet, carrying a depth of 25 to 30 fathoms,

Chow-chow water is plentiful between Small islet and the shore of Great Sanpwan island, but no signs of shoal water were found.

On the south side the ascent is more gradual, and south of the summit are two peaks of less elevation.

There is a small white joss-house on the south-west point of the island. ?

To the northward of Hokeen island, and joined to it, is a rock which dries 17 feet, and from it a rocky spit extends half a mile to the northward, the least water on which is 9 feet.

Little Hokeen, off the east side of Hokeen island, rises gradually from the castward to an elevation of 150 feet; off its east end is a ledge of rocks which extends one cable.

Between Hokeen island and Little Hokeen there is a cluster of rocks, which dries 13 feet.

　　　Scrag islet is a small but remarkable islet (with 6 peaks, the highest of which is 48 feet high), lying a quarter of a mile to the south-eastward of IIokeen; some rocks lie off its south side.

　　　HUTAU ISLAND is 6 miles long by about 3 broad, and mountainous, having two round summits, one near to its west extreme (mount Myers) 1,238 feet high, and the other near to its centre (mount Warren) 1,255 feet high. Stone peak is about half a mile to the southward of mouat Warren, and is very remarkable, rising abruptly to an elevation of 1,140 feet;. it has a large stone on its summit. Square peak does not appear of a square shape until bearing about N.N.W., when it begins to assume that aspect, which when bearing north is very marked. Sharp peaks. Between the two summits of Inau island there are several peaks, two of which appear sharp from certain positions, the eastern one from south to S.E., and the western one from the southward. The sides of the hills present a terraced appearance, owing to the natives cultivating the land in terraces, one above the other.

From East point to Rock point the coast is bold and cliffy; about half-way between are some black jagged rocks under the cliffs, and half a mile to the westward of them is a small indent, with a remarkable cliff with a fissure, just to the east- ward, which, in line with Square peak, formis one of the river leading marks.

　　　The bay at the east end of Hutau island affords shelter for boats and small junks during the north-east monsoon, but a heavy swell sets in. There is a rock in this bay which dries 10 feet.

　　　Near the centre of Hutau island is an extensive bay which dries nearly a mile from its head, and off the west end of Hutau island is a small bluff island 42 feet high.

　　　North Bank, lying between Hutau island and W?n-chau point, is composed of hard sand, which dries 6 feet, and is 24 miles long at low water spring tides.

South Bank, situated about 2 miles southward of Hutau island also consists of hard sand, which dries 4 feet, and is 12 miles in length at low spring tides.

Between North and South banks are four small banks which dry.

　　　White rock, lying to the southward of Hutau island, and 6 cables west of Rock point, is peaked and stoney, 138 feet high, with a small portion detached to the southward. There is good anchorage west of White rock, bottom mud.

　　　W?n-chau point may be recognised from the entrance of the river by an isolated range of bills 412 feet high, with three distinct summits. The eastern one has a ruined fort, and the centre one a mound on its top. There is a small waited town at the west extreme of the range, and just outside it are three small chimneys.

A ledge of rocks extends off Tent point, and dries 9 feet at low water.

The same terraced appearance exists here as at Hutau island.

　　　Tides.—The duration of the flood stream off W?n-chau point is 51?2 hours, and maximum rate 34 knots; that of ebb & hours, and the rate 44 knots.

W?n-chau island,* 23 miles long by 12 miles broad, is low, flat, and highly cultivated, and surrounded by a sea wall; there are numerous villages on it. Off the extreme west point is a small knob 108 feet high, and just to the eastward of it, but on the island, is a table-topped green lump 99 feet high. About half a mile to the eastward of this green lump is We chau lump, 133 feet high, which is round topped, with several red sand spots showing through the grass. These lumps are very conspicuous from the entrance of the river.

At a distance of half a cable off the south side of the detached western lump is a rock which dries 2 feet.

It is high water, full and change, at Knob point, W?n-chau island, at 10h. Springs rise about 20, and nears 17 feet. Tides.-The ebb stream through the channel south of W?n-chau island attains a velocity of about 5 knots. Both flood and ebb streams continue to run for about 25 minutes after high and low water by the shore.

　　　A mud flat, consisting of soft mud, extends 7 miles in a south-easter- direction from Wen-chau island. Off its south-cast end is a sand bank three-quarters of a mile long.

There is a small junk anchorage off W?n-chau lump.

Between W?n-chau island and the mainland to the southward there is a junk channel, and in it an extensive bank of sand and mud, which dries as much as 16 feet at low water.

Brown hills consist of a smooth, round topped, isolated range of hills, the summits of which are 593 and 510 feet high. To the west of Brown hills, and contiguous, is a range of reddish hills, of less elevation than Brown hills, the summits being 374 and 328 feet high.

White lump is 199 feet high, and nearly one mile from the bank of the river, with several trees growing on its

summit.

　　　Inner lump, 274 feet high, and of greater extent than White lump, lies 13 miles from the bank of the river, has several trees on its summit, and a dark appearance.

　　　House hill is a dark round mountain of sugar-loaf shape, 1,669 feet high, with a small house (apparently a joss- house) on its summit.

　　　ROCKY POINT is a small rocky lump, steep-to, with a white joss-house surrounded by trees; and 2 cables west- ward is another small lump with several trees on it.

There are two batteries, one to the eastward of Rocky point, and the other to the westward of the west lump. Inside Rocky point is a large walled town, surrounded by a canal.

　　　Between Wen-chau point and Rocky point the land is low, flat, highly cultivated, and fronted by a sea wall. There are numerous villages in this space.

　　　To the westward of Rocky point west lump, the land presents the same appearance, untii arrested by a high range of mountains, at the extreme end of which is a fort with three chimneys close to.

Salamis point, which is sweep-to, may be easily recognised by its two white forts. To the eastward of Salamis point the land trends away to the south-east, and is low, flat, highly cultivated, and fronted by a sea wall. At three-quarters of a mile inside the sea wall is Elephant range, 957 feet high. There is a remarkable knob on this range, 716 feet high. Off Salamis point is a bank which narrows the channel to 1 cables. To the south-westward of Elephant range there are most extensive ranges of high mountains.

　　　Cone peak (which is amongst these mountains) is, as its name implies, cone topped, and most remarkable; it is 1,547 feet high.

Between Salamis and Jar points the land is again low and flat. There are two forts in this space.

Jar point is bold and steep-to, 241 feet high. The three chimneys mentioned in previous sailing directions do not exist, and the Jar is so far inland that it cannot be seen from the river.

Snipe and Big islands are low, flat, and highly cultivated, surrounded by a sea wall, and interspersed with numerous trees and houses.

　　　Lower or Snipe island anchorage.-The village stands on the right bank of the river above Jar point, and the land from Jar point to the extent of the Nassau's survey is low, flat, and highly cultivated, generally fronted by a sea wall, and containing numerous houses and villages. This highly cultivated land extends for some 1 to 3 miles to the southward, when it is terminated by high mountain ranges. There are two forts at the village.

　　　The Customs flag-staff is in latitude 27° 58′ 20′′ N.; longitude 120° 45′ 39' E. There is a canal connecting the village with W?n-chau-fu.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH MARCH, 1880.

　　　W?N-CHAU-FU.-This city was founded and its wall built about 374 A.D., tradition asserting that the site w chosen on four hills because of a superstition connecting these with four stars in the constellation of "Ursa Major." Subs quent to the building of the wall, 28 wells were sunk to correspond with the 28 constellations in the heavens. Wen-chat-ta is a prefecturial city (or one of the first class, entitled to the title "Fa"). The Prefect has jurisdiction over six other eithe of the second and third class.

Population. The native population is estimated at from 100,000 to 200,000;* there were also 23 Europeans resident

at W?n-chau in 1878.

Government.-The city is governed by a civil governor (Too-tai); there is also a military governor or "Chen-tai Currency. The currency of W?n-chau is chop dollars by weight, and copper cash.

　　　Postal communication.-There is a Chinese post overland to Ningpo, and thence by steamer. There is also Chinese Government courier to Ningpo, starting weekly and traversing the distance in 4 days; the mail thus carried to forwarded on by steamer in 12 hours to Shanghai. There is also return communication.

　　　Trade.—The new treaty port of W?n-chau has not yet shown signs of much commercial activity, but there can be little doubt that, with sufficient enterprise and direct intercourse with the great inland marts, this port should assume importance in connection with the foreign tea trade. Tea-growing districts abound in the neighbourhood, the majority of which are to the south-west. The transit of this and other produce is by canal, by which means it can be brought direct to Snipe island or Lower anchorage.

　　　Exports are tea, opium (native grown), rice, charcoal, planks, bamboos, building spars, &c., and the district is rich in iron and alum.

Imports are salt fish, sugar, and cotton, by juuks.

　　　In the latter nine months of 1877, 19 vessels entered the port of W?n-chau of an aggregate tonnage of 7,486 tons, and during the same period 21 vessels cleared, their tonnage amounting to 7,508 tons.

　　　Medical Notes.t-The prevailing, diseases of W?n-chau are cholera, ague (from the country district), ophthalmis, small-pox, enthetic disease. The town from the number of its priests, nuns, and temples has been christened the "cathedral city." Cases of opium poisoning are frequent. Elephantiasis is met with. Leprosy is very rare. Though the diseases be- fore alluded to exist, they are confined to the native population, and the city may be considered generally healthy for a Chinese town. The best season of the year, from a sanitary point of view, is during the months of December, January, and February, and the most unhealthy June aud July.

　　　Quarantine.-The medical officer of Customs reports any suspected vessel, and the pilot is ordered to anchor such vessel one mile below the shipping, at the Lower anchorage.

　　　PIHQUAN HARBOUR.?-A shoal was found by the U.S.S. Ashuelot off Pihquan harbour, which was ob- served to break with a heavy swell from the eastward; soundings were afterwards obtained upon it in 4 fathoms (natives say only 3 fathoms at low water), and from it the following bearings were taken:-

At a Preliminary Meeting convened by His Excellency the Governor, and held at Government House, on Saturday, the 6th March, 1880, the following Resolutions were unanimously passed:

　　　　　Resolved, "That a Public Meeting be called to obtain subscriptions for the relief of the present distress in Ireland, the funds so collected to be sent to the Duchess of Marlborough's Committee."

Resolved. That a Local Committee be formed representing the principal interests in the Com- munity, and that Mr. JACKSON be requested to act as Honorary Secretary and Treasurer pro. tem. to "make arrangements for calling the Meeting."

Subscriptions amounting to $1,840 were collected in the room.

In accordance with the above Resolutions, a Public Meeting was held in the City Hall, on the 8th {Mareli, for the purpose of inaugurating a Subscription for the Relief of the Distress in Ireland. Excellency Governor HENNESSY presided, and the attendance was large and enthusiastic. Amongst He present were His Excellency Major-General DoNoVAN, Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice; Bishop Bems, Hon. W. H. MARSH, Colonial Secretary; Hon. E. O'MALLEY, Attorney-General; Hon. P. BYE. Hon. NG CHOY, Mr. T. JACKSON, most of the Leading Members of the Mercantile Community, stad a large number of Military and Civil Officers.

how

The GOVERNOR said-My Lord Bishop, Ladies and Gentlemen, the announcements in the Public Press inve informed you that I took the liberty to summon a Preliminary Meeting of some Irish lemen at Government House, to consider the distress in Ireland. We resolved to ask you to come tier to-day, for the purpose of raising subscriptions to be sent to the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH'S . Now, you are men of business, and my first duty is to endeavour briefly to explain to you it comes to pass that we have to ask you for subscriptions. I cannot deny that the loss of the crops k place in England as well as in Ireland, and that, in fact, the loss of the crops in England was lly greater than that in Ireland; but, nevertheless, the fact remains that the distress in Ireland is far more severe, and threatens a more dangerous future, than the distress in England. The special nason why Ireland suffers so much when distress of this kind occurs has been explained in a letter m the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH, which puts the whole case so clearly that, with your permission, will read it. Her Grace says:---

poor

　　　　　The class whom I and those associated with me are endeavouring to assist is chiefly composed small farmers holding from two to ten acres of land, extremely numerous in Ireland, as you are rhaps aware. These sorely tried people are excluded by law from obtaining relief under the es unless they first give up their land, and, rather than yield to this necessity, it is known that they will submit to inconceivable privations. It cannot be doubted that the want throughout This land, if not promptly responded to by the voice of charity, will culminate in a famine.”

NEWCASTLE.

The fact is, as the Duchess puts it in that letter, the poor law in Ireland is different from the poor w in England, according to the English poor law it is sufficient if the Relieving Officers and Board of Guardians should be of opinion that any man is destitute; that gives him a claim Parochial Relief. But unfortunately in Ireland there exists the addendum that the occupies dll holdings, though the whole of their crops may have failed, though they may be absolutely rving, cannot get relief according to law. Perhaps I may mention here that an attempt was de some years ago to remedy this state of the law, and to assimilate the law of Ireland to that of gland. A bill to that effect was passed in the House of Commons. It was proposed by the E KIMBERLEY in the House of Lords, but, owing to the late period of the session, it did not pa bsequently, it was again pressed on the attention of the House of Commons, and again was pass repeated debates and divisions. It was then moved in the House of Lords by the late Di He described that provision of the Irish poor law as a harsh and unjust provision. vision which would always be fatal to the people of Ireland when distress arose. But, by a s ority of four, the bill was unfortunately thrown out. We therefore see that the poor rates of ti

try provided by the law of Ireland are not available for a considerable portion of the population. And if these rates are not so available, what is the meaning of an Irish famine, what is it in reality? looking around here to-day, I see some countrymen of mine, but perhaps there are few present actually remember the events of the great famine of 18-46 and 1847. I ain sorry to say that I am nough to remember them; and though I was only twelve years of age at the time, I have a vivid etion of the fact that I then saw in the streets of Cork one morning seven dead bodies lying not from the residence of my father a sight which has remained ever engraved on my memory. They in two groups, one a group of five people lying dead, and another of two-a woman, apparently ng woman, and what appeared to me to be a very oid but diminutive woman, but, on looking y, I saw that it was in reality a dead child; it had died of starvation. Similar scenes were essed week after week by those who were in the South and West of Ireland. Some months rolled and another event occurred which struck me forcibly. I was walking not far from the elty of and I came close to an old grave-yard where I saw a group of people collected round an open Suddenly, there arose near at hand the lamentation for the dead, and a peasant who was g in the road said to me, "That, sir, is the pleasantest music that has fallen on my ears for day," for the preceding twelve months had beheld so many dead in Ireland--the faning en people buried without coffins-that even the accustomed weeping for the dead was suspende i Irish peasant was delighted to hear once more the cry of launeutation. Well, years rolted the effects of that famine were still felt in Ireland, and I have myself seen at Qeenstown, g into the emigrant ships, strong men shedding tears on quitting their country, and carryites

134 1000,

So attached to the soil are the Irish peasant

　with them some roots of grass and earth. What for? that, when they leave the country and know they will never return-going to Canada on the Unite States--they carry with them little particles of their native earth to have them placed upon their graves. The famine that then afflicted the country might have been prevented, or at least mitigati We are now meeting to do that which was not done with respect to the famine of 1846 and 1817 that is, we are meeting to prevent a famine.--(Applause.) Prevention is better than a turdy and

ineffectual cure.

　　　Now, with respect to the present distress, what evidence have we? We have the various letters received from our friends, and the statements in the public press; but especially I may refer to the fact that Her Majesty the Queen, with her usual generosity has given a considerable contribution tr the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH'S distress fund. That Peeress of benevolence in her own right, Laly BURDETT COUT Ts, has subscribed largely to the fund, and Mr. GORDON BENNETT, of the New Y Herald, has subscribed $100,000.-(Applause.) I mention these facts for this reason, that r Majesty the Queen has the very best sources of information at her disposal, that Lady BURDETT COUTTS is a charitable lady who never lays out a pound except in the right direction, and that Mr. GORDON BENNETT is also an eminent authority in every great and good work. In addition to that. I hold in my hand a telegram from Dublin Castle which was sent to me last week. It is to this effect, "Acute distress prevails," signed by the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH. You have, I think, before you the clearest proof that the time has come when some steps must be taken to meet the growing distress.

　　　But you are fairly entitled to ask also, if this money he sent to the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH's fund. how will it be dealt with? That is answered authoritatively by the last mail, in a few words, which I will take the liberty of reading, in a leading article in The Times newspaper.

day

　　　"We continue to receive satisfactory assurance of the progress made with the collections for the "Duchess of MARLBOROUGH's fund, both in this country and in Ireland, and of the care with which the

money is laid out.

The object is one for which both money and care are needed. Almost every brings fresh proof of the reality and magnitude of the existing distress in Ireland. The public has the "means of judging the way in which the work is done. Every penny received is accounted for; the names of the recipients are recorded and may be seen; local committees or local agents are appointed "to superintend the distribution of each grant. The utmost care is taken that the money shall reach "the fittest objects with no waste by the way."

　　　I am aware that some gentlemen in the community would wish to send subscriptions to the fund being collected by the Lord Mayor of Dublin. I will only say this that I received information by to- day's mail that the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH'S Committee and the Lord Mayor's Committee are work- ing in complete harmony. Both Committees are working on parallel lines. Therefore, I think that you may fairly leave to the Committee you will be asked to approve of to-day, our own local Com- inittee. the question whether it may not be in the power of that Committee to send a contribution to the Lord Mayor's fund as well as to the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH's. (Applause.) There is not, in fact, in the whole of Ireland, a man more zealous or active in mitigating distress than Mr. GRAY, the Lord Mayor of Dublin.--(Applause.) Accordingly, ladies and gentlemen, I feel convinced that, what- ever we may do in the way of subscriptions, the money will be well laid out. And of one other thing I am also confident; when I see the commercial gentlemen of the Colony in this hall to-day, when I know the character of Hongkong, its reputation as the leading commercial community in Her Majesty's Colonial Empire, a community ever distinguished for its public spirit and munificence, I also feel that the appeal which I and my countrymen are now making will not be made in vain.-- (Lond applause).

The CHIEF JUSTICE --Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, when I entered this room I did not expect that I should be called on to take any prominent part on this occasion. It would be a very difficult thing to atteinpt to say why this famine exists in Ireland. I only agree in this, that there is a great amount of human misery, and when that exists I am sure it ought to call forth universal sympathy, Homo sum et nihil humanum a me alienum puto. I think every man who has a soul and power of thought must think this is an occasion for him to do his utmost. Something has been said as to whom the money is to be entrusted. It does seem to me the wife of the Viceroy of Ireland is the person above all others, if she will undertake the kindly office, to whom we should extend the distribution of the small contribution this small Colony can give. I have not the honour of knowing the Lord Mayer of Dublin. Many persons here may know him, but there is no

know him, but there is no private individual, be he what he may, there is no gentleman in the position of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, who is in the responsible position of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH. Therefore I conceive the money from a Colony like this should go to a person responsible to the world in a way which the Lord Mayor, however high a man he may be. is I do hope that whatever money goes from Hongkong will be distributed under the responsibility of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH because it is the Duke's responsibility, although it is the Duchess' fund. I beg to move that a subscription be raised to relieve the distress prevailing in Ireland.--(Applause.)

Mr. MEHTA Seconded the resolution.

not.

Mr. F. H. ARJANEE, in supporting the resolution, said-I beg to express, on behalf of the Indian, residents in this Colony, the deep sympathy we feel for the people of Ireland in the distress which has unfortunately overtaken them. No Indian, I feel sure, will refrain from subscribing his mite, however small it may be, towards the relief of the sufferers. Only a short time ago we read here with very great satisfaction how the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, by their gene-

rous assistance to India during the late famine in that country, saved millions of lives. It is doubly our duty, therefore, on the score of gratitude and for the sake of our common humanity, to do what lies in our power for our fellow subjects in Ireland. (Applause.) I am glad to see that the people of Bombay and other great Indian cities are actively and promptly responding to the appeal on behalf of -Ireland, and I trust that the Indians of Hongkong will not prove behind hand in the same good

cause.---(Applause.)

　　　　　　　The resolution was carried by acclamation, and His Excellency called upon the Honourable P. RYRIE to move the next resolution.

　　　　　　　Honourable P. RYRIE.-Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, the resolution which has been put in my hands is purely a business matter. You are well aware that subscriptions are proposed and every one is willing to give, but an active working Committee is required to carry the thing out. have now ladies and gentlemen, to propose to you a number of names to form that Committee. I am perfectly certain that when you hear the names you will all assent. In electing these gentlemen you leet not only a representative body but gentlemen who will really carry out the object for which we are met to-day, and that is, the collecting of subscriptions for the relief of the distress in Ireland, remitting the money home, and other matters that come within the scope of a Committee's duty. I will now with your permission read out the names :-His Excellency the Governor, His Excellency Admiral Coore, His Excellency General DONOVAN, His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMALE; Honourable W. KESWICK, Honourable NG CHOY, H. Low?ock, Esquire; H. L. DALRYMPLE, Esquire; F. D. SASSOON, Esquire; E. R. BELILIOS, Esquire; H. HOPPIUS, Esquire; ADOLPH ANDR?, Esquire; H. DE COURCY FORBES, Esquire; II. M. MEHTA, Esquire; J. LOUREIRO, Esquire, Consul General for Portugal; LEONG ON, Esquire; I. A. O'BRIEN, M.D., Esquire; ATWELL COXON, Esquire; and myself. The two ex-officio members, on whom the bulk of the work will fall, are R. D. STARKEY, Esquire, Honorary Secretary; and T. JACKSON, Esquire, Honorary Treasurer.--(Loud applause.) I think, ladies and gentlemen, the selection is one that will meet with the approval of

you all.

I will, therefore, with the permission of His Excellency, propose that these gentlemen be elected as the

Committee.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY said he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and he thought the names must meet with general approval.

The Resolution was carried nem. con.

The Bishop--Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for initiating this movement amongst us. There is a naturalness in its coming from His Excellency, as the country we are interested in at this moment is his own, but in the matter of benevolence I am happy to say, and I think this meeting as a representative meeting sufficiently shows it, that we know neither country, nor scct, nor creed.--(Applause.) I am very sure that His Excellency would have been equally forward to initiate a similar movement had it been for any other country, for instance, my own poor country of Scotland, which, as we all know, is very productive of rocks, but is happily not subject to famines.---(Applause.)

The meeting then terminated.

On the 11th March, a Meeting of the Committee appointed at the Public Meeting of the 8th was held at Government House, when the names of various gentlemen of different nationalities were added to the number of the Committee, and, in view of the subscriptions having already commenced to flow in rapidly, it was resolved to remit ?1,000 by wire at once to the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH'S Fund. Sundry means of facilitating the collection of subscriptions were then arranged, and the Meeting separated. On the 17th March, the Second Meeting of the Committee was held at Government House, when His Excellency the Governor was requested to telegraph to the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH and announce that a second sum of ?1,000 would that day be 'transmitted.

It was also unanimously resolved that His Excellency the Governor be requested to telegraph o the Lord Mayor of Dublin that ?1,000 would that day be transmitted in a similar manner to His Lordship's Fund.

　　　　　　His Excellency then read an extract from a communication received by him to the effect that the distress in the South of Ireland was very severe, and the Honorary Secretary announced that the subscriptions already amounted to about $12,000, when the Meeting separated.

On the 25th March, the Third Meeting of the Committce was held at Government House, when His Excellency the Governor stated that he had received the following telegrams in acknowledgment

f remittances.

From the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH, "Irish ladies send grateful thanks."

From the Lord Mayor of Dublin, "On Patrick's Day, Ireland thanks you."

On the question of the disposal of the Funds in hand, it was unanimously resolved, at the request of the Chinese Subscribers, that the sum of ?1,000 should be remitted, to the Mayor of Cork, His

elleney Governor HENNESSY's native city.

　　　　　　It was further resolved that a third remittance of ?1,000 should be sent to the Fund originated y the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH.

　　　　　　It was resolved that His Excellency be asked to allow the Honorary Secretary to publish in the Pette recount of the origin and progress of the Fund, and a List of the Subscribers, to be supple-

wated in the weekly issue of the Gazette as further names were added.

2. It has been a year of very severe and incessant work in this Department, which, from sickness and other causes, has also been somewhat short-handed. The pressure experienced arose, however, tot so much from the amount of work, as from its uneven distribution. All through the year the French and English mails arrived within a day or two of each other. The French packet would come first, then, perhaps even before her mails for the North were disposed of, it would be necessary to patch the mail for Europe. Hardly was that done ere the peak gun would announce the English il. A day is recollected, only one out of several, on which nearly every officer of the Department was hard at work for thirteen continuous hours, from six in the morning till seven at night, with arely time to snatch a hurried mouthful of food. Nearly the entire work of a fortnight would be owled into about three or four days. The fact that there was little but routine to occupy the rest the time scarcely made up for these seasons of severe pressure, the effect of which on the health of me members of the staff has been only too obvious. The mails are now, however, beginning to arrive at weekly or nearly weekly intervals, and it is hoped in future to have the work of the Depart-

ut less crowded together.

3. The incessant changes to which Postal business has been subject during the last three years ave naturally entailed a great amount of labour and correspondence upon this Office. Three times at last every detail of the service has had to be rearranged. There is no comparison between a period of such continual change and the tranquil years of the past, when perhaps there was nothing to be orded in the Annual Report more important than that postage to some German Principality or Italian Duchy had been doubled, or that various South American republics had declined to admit etterus. The present transition state of the service will probably continue (it is to be hoped it will) til the Postal Union is universal in reality as well as in name, and until the goal of all progress therto is reached, viz., when all countries contribute to a central fund for the reimbursement of those which provide transit, and all accounts of the actual weights of mails transmitted are swept away.

4. A still further reduction of International postage was effected during the year, and certain ther changes, the outcome of the Convention of Paris in 1878, were introduced. Some of these have become very popular. Post Cards for instance, which it is now obligatory for every Union coun- try to issue, will probably never be much used in the East. Return Receipts for Registered letters pre also seldom demanded, as the public seem rightly to consider the Registration system completely without them. A most perplexing distinction between Printed and Commercial Papers has been established, which probably no amount of explanation will make generally understood. People are. apt to ask somewhat impatiently why such arrangements are made. But the present system, under Wich the same Postal Rules are applied over nearly the entire civilised world, naturally requires some frence to the views of other countries. It is no longer merely a question of what suits Hongkong what suits England, but of what suits every country, and against such little inconveniences as the itation of patterns to eight ounces in weight may be set the fact that a man who knows Post Office tice in one Country of the Union knows it in all. The traveller has no longer to consult a fresh le of rules in every town he enters, the facilities he finds in Canada he will equally find at St. Petersburgh, or in Japan.

5. The most recent changes in the service have enabled this Department to accomplish what has a its aim for years, viz., the establishment of an absolutely uniform Postal Tariff, free (except in solitary instance of the Australasian Colonies) from all differences of charge on account of route, with all its rates (except as above) decimal in amount. It will now, it is hoped, be possible ually to reduce our overgrown category of Stamps, and replace them by about half a dozen values,

decimal.

6. The Registration fee has not been lowered to anything like the small amounts adopted by the countries, as it is found that such low fees throw an immense amount of responsible work on y Post Office concerned, to which the sums paid seem disproportionate. A Registered letter can be sent for considerably less than an ordinary letter cost three years ago, and it may perhaps fore be said that reasonable cheapness has been attained.

7. A money Order system with most of the Australasian Colonies has been established, and the e son to believe it will be of use to the Chinese who have emigrated there and who are constantly money to their friends, hitherto by enclosing sovereigns in Registered letters, a practice which thes leads to unpleasant questions, as the contents of the letters do not always correspond with mounts written outside. In one instance the envelope purported to contain three sovereigns, but it did contain was a piece of ten lead, of the exact weight required, neatly folded up. It is a

of regret that Victoria has held aloof from this Money Order Convention.

The close of the year was marked by the withdrawal of British Post Offices from Japan, a e which this Department never deprecated before its completion, nor has regretted since. Had Japanese continued as indifferent to Postal matters as Chinese are still, it would have been desira-

1. Since the above was written a steady demand for the 1-cent cards recently issued bas set in,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 21ST APRIL, 1880.

Mr.

ble to maintain foreign Post Offices in Japan, but it is certainly the more healthy and natural state affairs for the Post Office of any country to belong to that country. With the awakening interest and progress of the Japanese in Postal matters complications of all kinds began to be created, a was a relief to every one concerned when such perplexing questions ceased to exist. Far from 1 below the average standard of efficiency, it would be difficult to name any Offices where the work an better done than at those of Japan with which this Department has the pleasure of exchanging mal for it is a pleasure to cooperate with an Administration at once courteous, intelligent, and exact. MACHADO, our late Postmaster at Yokohama, who has just become a naturalised British subject, h been transferred to Shanghai, where no doubt his services will be as acceptable to the community ax they were to that at his former post. It would have been very desirable for the Assistant Postmast General or myself to spend two or three weeks at Shanghai in general inspection and supervision of the office there or the induction of Mr. MACHADO, but the partial employment of Mr. BARFF in th Supreme Court has rendered it impossible for either of us to leave the Colony.

9. This community has not enjoyed its usual good fortune in the matter of mail hours during the year. The English and French mails are now closed at entirely different times, in spite of every effort for uniformity, and the hour of departure of the English mail is in every way undesirable. W have had to realise that there are other places besides Hongkong. To take one only, it is very difficult to suggest any arrangement which shall avoid Sunday work here without necessitating Sunday work in Shanghai, especially when mensoon changes are taken into account the whole year through. It is to be hoped, however, that in the course of a little time, it may be possible to modify the new Time Tables so as to regain our former regularity without unduly inconveniencing other Ports.

10. The subject of Revenue during the year under review would be rather a gloomy one, but for the consideration that the small balance left to the Colony is the result of paying off arrears due for 1877 and 1878, and that the revised rates of Postage which have just come into force will do some thing towards checking the steady decline of Postal receipts which has been going on since 1872. In round figures it may be said that this Department collected $102,000 during 1879; of which $40,000 was paid to England and other countries (including arrears.); $20,000 was devoted to the conveyance of mails, including a special contribution towards lessening the Imperial loss under this head; $37,000 represents other working expenses; and the Colony has but $5,000 left, the smallest balance on record. It would be pleasant to add that all arrears have been paid off, but such is not the case, though they have been-lessened. Considerable sums are still due to London, but as much as possible in the absence of exact information has been remitted on account. Detailed figures as to the year's revenue will be found in the appendix. 1

　　　11. The only way to form any just idea of the financial position of this Department is to take the years 1877, 1878 and 1879 together. If this is done it will be found that, during these three years the Gross Annual Revenue of the Post Office has averaged $118,000, of which the average Imperial and Foreign share was $45,000; the cost of conveyance of mails $17,000; and the local expenditure $35,000; leaving an average annual balance to the Colony of $21,000, or say $63,000 for the thre years. Our debts are now fairly paid up to date except perhaps about $8,000 due to London, and a contribution of about $16,000 will be due in April next, revenue coming in however meanwhile to meet it. Taking the prospect of increased revenue this year into consideration, our financial position may be regarded as satisfactory. The heavy expenditure in Marine Sorting noticed in the last Annual Report still continues, nor does there appear to be any means of lessening it.

　　　12. The Government of this Colony having abolished the restrictions which were placed on the issue of subsidiary silver coin (only obtainable formerly at a premium or as a matter of great favour it has been possible to keep the Post Offices of Hongkong and Shanghai always sufficiently supplisi with change, a little matter perhaps, but one that has remedied a most inconvenient and not altogether creditable state of things.

13. Through the kindness of the London Post Office a lithographed portrait of the late Sir Row- LAND HILL has been placed in the main sorting room here as a memorial of that distinguished bent- factor to humanity.

14. It would be pleasant to bring the record of any year to a close without having to mention some disastrous day, but that good fortune has not yet occurred to the Hongkong Post Office. December 29th (so nearly was the year well finished) a bag containing more than 300 letters for Foe chow, the entire French and English mails in fact, was left behind in consequence of one of those co binations of circumstances against which neither vigilance nor organisation at times avail anything. nor could all this important correspondence be sent on for nearly a week. It may be allowable to cit as an instance of good nature not to be surpassed anywhere, that though almost every resident Foochow must have been more or less disappointed, not one syllable of complaint reached this Offic? The Foochow community may rest assured however that the case could not have received more atten tion than it did, nor a repetition of such an occurrence have been more carefully guarded against, ha every newspaper in China been crowded with indignant letters. At the same time, it is always well to call attention to such matters, as they are often not within the knowledge of the head of the depart

at. Perhaps it may be permissible here to point out to a few residents at Northern ports served h Shanghai, that they would do better to forward to this Office the covers as to which they times complain, than to write sarcastic letters to the papers, Such vague complaints afford no and for investigation, and whenever a tangible case has been put forward, the alleged delay has al- ys been satisfactorily explained.

15. As the International Bureau of the Postal Union attaches importance to the compilation of in statistical returns, an account was kept during 28 days in November of the amount of corres- ence of all kinds passing through this Office. The totals of this account, multiplied by 13, form basis of the Statistical Table now submitted amongst other returns.

W. H. MARSII,

Colonial Secretary.

Referring to Notices Nos. 6 and 9, issued from this Office on the 11th June and the 14th July, 1879, Mariners are now hereby informed that, on and after the 1st March, 1880, Twelve (12) Gas Lights will be exhibited from beacons crected in Port Adelaide River. Vessels bound in must leave them all on the starboard hand.

Directions.

Masters of Vessels when approaching the Outer Bar and coming in at night should bring the Outer Beacon (No. 12) to bear N.E. by E., magnetic. This course will lead over the Outer Bar in not less than eighteen feet at low water, and clear of the Gloucester Bank Buoy. After passing this buoy, a course should be shaped to pass No. 12 beacon at a distance of one-fourth of a cable's length. The other beacons can then be passed at a reasonable distance.

Masters of Ships should not attempt to come in at night without a Pilot unless they are well acquainted with the river, and then great care must be exercised, as some of the lights may be extinguished.

Excellency the GOVERNOR.

Petition of a Chinese resident, TUNG PING, praying for permission for theatricals performed by actresses, with the hatchet symbol of distinction on the lower robes dossed in embroidered antique robes), in tronquil times,

the dramatic stage, by its abridged state- the different scenes, is strictly speaking raditional school of loyalty and filial wherefore, whenever the Empire enjoys Pes and the times are tranquil, it is

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH MAY, 1880.

That formerly there were in Hongkong both

male and female performers, acting conjointly on the stage in comedies and dramas, but the ex- tinction of this practice dates back to the very time when the Authorities (of Hongkong) first prohibited it;

　That, however, in all Western countries, and in Japan, there are both male and female per- formers acting together on the stage, without such practice being prohibited;

That, whereas Your Excellency's adminis-

tration of the Government is prosperous and righteous, the scales (of justice) and the mirror (of inquiry) being held with steady hand, it is surely not required that the actors on the Chinese stage should alone be pushed into the corner and prevented making a success in Hongkong;

　That, moreover, in thus requesting permission to have plays performed by actresses, it is to be understood that there will be among the per- formers, apart from the violinists and other musicians and the attendant porters, none but women in female headgear, and absolutely no male actors wearing the queue;

　That there is further a female stage-manager to restrain the others and to see that the rules of the stage be adhered to, and all obscenities and frivolities be entirely excluded from the abridged statements issued for each scene, there being of

course a separation of male and female performers; That His Excellency may be pleased to decide this matter with clear mirror (after full inquiry)

and even balance (impartially);

　That, if your Petitioner be thus allowed the benefit of general enjoyment and tranquillity,

every one will emulate in peaceful pursuits, all

being indebted to Your Excellency's august libe-

rality and vast kindness;

And your Petitioner will ever pray.

SIR,

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 4th April, 1879.

　In reply to your Petition, dated 25th March 1879, I am directed to inform you that His Ex- cellency the Governor has considered your pro- posal (that women may be allowed to perform in the Chinese theatre) and although what you say is true, viz., that in Western countries and in Japan females are permitted to appear on the stage, nevertheless, having consulted the leading Chinese gentlemen in this Colony and having regard to the long established social laws and customs of the Chinese people on this subject, His Excellency the Governor cannot grant the prayer of your Petition.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

This is to notify the inhabitants of Stanley and

ers, that, whereas graves are the peaceful

ting places of the bodies of the dead, and any lation of such graves is a serious offence pro- sited by Law, and whereas it is supposed that tain soldiers, whose surnames and names could ? be ascertained, desecrated the grave and des- ved the tablet of the grand father of a certain lent of Stanley, as is on record, His Ex- leney the Governor has been deeply grieved on of such disgraceful sacrilege. Strict in- aring iries were made by his direction with a view have the offenders arrested and punished. afortunately, however, the inquiry did not re- it in tracing the individual offenders, but the *!y of British soldiers to which they are sup- ed to belong, have been duly cautioned res- ting the serious nature of the offence, and arned that most severe punishment would cer- nly have been inflicted, if the individual had ndiscovered. There is therefore nothing left w, since strict inquiry with a view to eventual secution has been instituted, and compensa- granted for the purpose of making good the mages done to the grave, but to issue this dification for the information of the inhabitants Stanley, also in order to warn others against

ilar acts of desecration, which would certainly

visited with the heaviest punishment.

Secretary of State for the Colonies, and since, by

Notification in Government Gazette (1879, p. 153), the Government Central School has been, for special and, I presume, temporary reasons, constituted an independent branch of the Edu- cation Department, not subject to the control of the Inspector of Schools, I naturally confine myself in this Report principally to the affairs of those schools outside the Government Central School which are either conducted or subsidized by the Government through the Inspector of Schools. Nevertheless, in order to preserve uni- formity in the annual statistical records of the Education Department as a whole. I have included the statistics of the Central School, with the

permission of the Headmaster, in the usual tables

which will be found appended to this Report.

3. The total number of scholars subject to the

supervision of the Government, outside the Cen-

tral School, amounted to 2.870 in 1879. as con-

pared with 2544 in 1878. Of that number of

2,870 scholars, there were in 1879 attending Government Schools (outside Central School) 1,453 scholars as against 1.493 in 1878, and in the Grant-in-aid Schools there were, under Gov- ernment inspection, 1.417 scholars in 1879 as compared with 1,021 in 1878. There has been, in fact, during the last three years a continuous slight decrease in the enrolment of scholars in the Government Schools, compensated by a continuous steady increase during the same three years in the enrolment of scholars in the Grant-in-aid Schools. Taking, however, all the schools subject to Government control or in- spection in this Colony together, there was in 1879 an increase in the total number of scholars (3,460 in 1879 as compared with 3.152 in 1878) amounting to 9.77 per cent.. as compared with the preceding year. The number of schools un- der Government supervision advanced in 1879 from 47 to 50, one of the three new schools (St. Joseph's College) bringing as inany as 255 boys under Government inspection. There has, there- fore, been a slight advance made in 1879 as re- gards the number of schools and scholars brought under Government supervision, and from what I have observed and learned as regards the Chinese portions of the town, I believe the number of purely native Confucian Schools, inde- pendent of Government, have also been slightly increased. Nevertheless I do not think that we can safely estimate the whole number of children in schools of all descriptions in the Colony at over 6,000, which with our present population of at least 145,000 inhabitants amounts to 4.13 per cent. In 1878 there were in the Primary Schools of Great Britain 2.782.454 children out of an estimated population of 28,448,326 people. Thus we have 9.74 per cent. of the whole population in Great Britain under primary instruction, whilst we have in Hongkong about 4.13 per cent. un- der instruction whether primory or otherwise.

I calculate the number of uneducated children in the Colony, from 6 to 15 years of age, to amount to about 14,000.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETIE, OTH MAI, 1000.

1. As regards the education of the girls which

ven more neglected in Hongkong than the cation of boys the number of girls in Govern-

it Schools fell from 235 in 1878 to 179 in 79. but as the mumber of girls in Grant-in-aid

ools increased at the same time from 343 in IN to 431 in 1879, there has really been an Fance made in 1879 amounting to 10 per cent. the total number of girls in schools under

-wrninent supervision in the previous year. "proportion of girls to boys in those schools

ictively is still about 1 to 4, which is a very satisfactory state of things.

　　　　　　3. The nature of the instruction afforded in ' whools of the Colony is a matter of the ut-

t importance. Not counting the infants in 3 schools of the Foundling Houses of the Co- v. there were about 840 children in Roman lic Schools not subject to Government

iservision, there were further about 1,300 chil- en in independent native Confucian Schools, and 160 were in schools under Government super-

Enion. Now whilst considering that inere teach- of reading and writing and so forth is not cation, and does not in itself tend to produce

ter citizens, but that the kind of instruction hich would benefit the State and Public Society

ist havera tendeney to form a high moral chia- ter in the scholars, I still believe that every

ne of those schools above mentioned contributes

# a certain degree such real benefit to Public

wiety and to the State. For in all those schools,

ther they be purely native and therefore

Safacian, or purely Government Schools and herefore secular, or Grant-in-aid Schools and as

-wwh Christian Schools, all the children in these

ools are being imbued with the principles of

ve and self-sacrifice, with the spirit of a pure d elevating system of morality. So far all those 21ils are on the whole of equal value to the overnment and to the community. But what specially great importance to the prosperity

the Colony and to the administration of the vernment in a Colony like this, where over 95 cent. of the population speak Chinese only

1 scarely 5 per cent. of the European residents officials speak or understand anything of se, is an extensive promotion of a know- w of English. The principal advantage of dish teaching in this Colony, compared with se. is this that the teaching is then com- with the enhanced educational influences natiral science and modern civilisation. and tit furnishes the means of creating here Anglo-Chinese community in place of that bril form of social life, with pidgin English

h. towards which the Chinese community in gkong must otherwise continue to drift to great embarrassment of the Executive and cal lepartments of the Government. Out of 1.300 scholars in independent native schools fing night schools) about 300 are taught cshin a very imperfect fashion. of the 840 re in Roman Catholic Schools, not under mment supervision, I assume 400 to receive

　more or less English teaching also tainted with imperfection. Adding to this number 590 boys

　who were taught both English and Chinese in the Central School last year and 222 boys taught

　English or English and Chinese conjointly in outside Government Schools, also 368 children

who received exclusively English teaching in Grant-in-aid Schools, both Catholic and Protes-

tant, we have a total of 1,380 children under some sort of methodic and on the whole good

English or Anglo-Chinese tuition. I feel sure I

am not far wrong if I add, on the basis of the

statistics of last year, that for the last twenty

years an annual average of 900 children has been

under English or Anglo-Chinese instruction, and

that each child attended such teaching on an

average for 5 years. Yet, considering what a

number of English speaking young people there

ought to be in the Colony if this teaching was at

all effective, the fact strikes every impartial ob- server that the number of English speaking in-

habitants is very small in the Colony and that,

apart from the children of English parents, the

number of English speaking young men and wo-

men in the Colony is out of all proportion with

the amount of English teaching given during the last twenty years. Out of a population of at least 135,000 Chinese resident in this Colony, we cannot muster even half a dozen Chinese on the

Jury list, as under Ordinance No. 11 of 1864,

Section IV, no person ignorant of the English

language can serve as a Juror, the effect of which is that Chinese offenders are generally tried by Jurors who are not their peers. Most of those Chinese who are Jurors or who do speak English fluently are found, on inquiry, to have been educated outside of this Colony. The prin- cipal cause of this manifest educational failure, as far as English speaking is concerned, I see in the attempt which the Government Schools of this Colony have all along made of dividing their limited time between English and Chinese teach- ing. As the Chinese written language is extra- ordinarily difficult, as almost all the children in Government Schools never hear English spoken at home, and are on an average only 5 or 6 years in school and scarcely more than 3 hours diem at English studies into which--in the case of the Central School--even Geometry, Algebra and Chemistry are crammed, it is not to be wondered at that an overwhelming majority of scholars leave our Government Schools

year after

year unable to speak English and with but a smatter- ing of the written Chinese language, whilst sure to forget soon again most of the English know-

per

ledge acquired in school. Those Grant-in-aid Schools which teach English at all give their whole undivided time to it and the result is of course satisfactory; though most of those children hear but Portuguese or Chinese spoken in their homes, they leave school able to speak English and able to write it to a certain extent with faci- lity. It is only in the Government Schools that the Danaide labour of trying to do the impossible is still continued with a perseverance worthy of all admiration.

6. Another question of great importance is the

si of education. Purely native teaching is ex- emely cheap. The consequence is that purely ztive" Confucian Schools, public and private,

ound all over the Colony. Their managers ask r no grant from Government and even decline

apply for it when invited. They would not esitate to take the money of the Government, ut they object to the trammels of the Grant-in- Schedule and fear interference with the method teaching, believing, as they do, that they know tter how to teach Chinese than a foreign Gov- rnment can possibly know. In the smaller lages and hamlets of the Colony alone the ple are glad to have the advantages of the irant-in-aid Scheme because their poverty does t allow them, with their small number of milies, to establish schools of their own as they uld otherwise prefer to do. But in the town =ll prely Chinese schools kept by the Govern- net are, in my opinion, not only uncalled for at compete injuriously with native self-help in

Confucianist education without giving really a -tter education. For details as to the cost of Government Schools and the amount of aid iven to Grant-in-aid Schools I refer to the tables

Eppended to this Report. But I wish to point out

at the costly nature of English teaching princi-

ally consists of the salaries of English Masters

Who have to be imported from England, who

require free passage out, a salary of at least ?300,

　　　　　　and after sonic years a passage back to England en furlough or sick certificate. Had the Govern-

out, when first beginning to

this Colony, confined itself to

teach English in English teaching,

instead of combining it with Chinese, and esta-

Wished a training school for native teachers of

English, creating at the same time a demand for

such teachers by opening Elementary English

schools instead of purely Chinese schools all over

the Colony and thereby needlessly competing

with the natives in what they were willing enough do themselves and what after all they do better than the Government can do, there would long ago have been furnished a supply of natives able

teach English effectively and willing to teach

" at very moderate salaries. Even now

training school exists in the Colony and conse- ently almost all English teaching in the Colony hat is really effective has to be provided for by curing the teaching power at great cost from Furland. A revision of the whole Educational

digy of the Government is clearly needed.

7. Detailed information as to the changes which

ve taken place last year in the constitution of Van Education Department will be found in the **pplements* annexed to this Report. To the ane Supplements I also refer for detailed in- ration as to the progress made by the outside

minent Schools in the course of the year ***, and as regards the revision of the Grant- Vaul Schedule. This revision, as far as approved resent by the Right Honourable the Secretary rate iow the Colouies, consisted principally in purgation from the Schedule of the words

and elementary." For the worls

secular instruction" there has been substituted

the phrase "instruction in the subjects of the standards," which alteration, whilst removing conscientious scruples of denominational Educa- tionists, did not affect the vital principle of the Grant-in-aid System, viz., payment for results in specified subjects. It gives, moreover, greater freedom to the Managers in the selection of books without compromising the attitude of the Govern- ment as regards the principle of non-interference in religious matters. The elimination from the Schedule of the word "elementary" is a matter of the highest importance. The Grant-in-aid Scheme, hitherto or rather until the time when St. Paul's College first came under the Grant-in- aid System, was confined to aid native elementary education. Now, however, it is open to further development in the direction of admitting not only intermediate but high class educational in- stitutions to the benefits of the Grant-in-aid system and by making this alteration in the

scope

of the scheme the necessity of enlarging the value of the passes is involved as a natural consequence. I see in this alteration of the Grant-in-aid Scheme a step in the right direction towards placing the Educational Policy of the Colonial Government on a thoroughly sound and equitable basis, viz.,

the aim to confine all direct teaching, such as is now given in schools kept at the entire expense and under the exclusive control of the Govern- ment, to the Elementary English education of the poor classes, but to give increased aid with fewer restrictions on the principle of payment by results

in specified subjects to the middle schools and

high class schools of the Colony, more or less in

the manner indicated by the Intermediate Edu-

cation Act (Ireland) of 1878.

8. In conclusion I beg to point out that in 輔右申

considering the Educational Problem of this Co-

lony, it is all important to refrain from assuming an identity of the radical features of the problem as it presents itself here and in England. In England it may be said regarding matters of education that "the consumer is not a competent judge of the commodity," but this principle does not apply to the purely Chinese education at- tempted by an English Government of a Colony the overwhelming majority of which is made up by Chinese; though this principle does indeed apply to the teaching of English, and hence it follows that English education is one of those things in Hongkong which it is admissible in principle that a Government should provide for the people. As regards purely Chinese teaching or Chinese teaching combined with English the case is entirely different. Whilst in England the common wages of unskilled labour are too low and the cost of teaching too high to enable an ordinary unskilled labourer to pay the whole cost of elementary instruction for his children, the wages of unskilled labour are comparatively so high here in town and the cost of Chinese teaching so low, that Government interference in the matter of Chinese teaching is entirely uncall- ed for, especially as the Chinese place an extre- mely high esteem on their own system and method of education.-I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servant,

E. J. EITEL, Inspector of Schools.

The guests being assembled in the drawing-

room, His Royal Highness entered at 1.15 2.M.,

wearing the Grand Cross; Ribbon, and Star of

the Black Eagle of Prussia. He was accompanied

by Baron von SECKENDORFF and Captain MCLEAN.

At the same moment the Royal Standard of Prussia was hoisted over Government House,

and a Royal Salute was fired from the shore

battery by the Royal Artillery and from the ships

in harbour, the German men-of-war Prins Adai- bert and Luise, and Her Majesty's ships Victor Emanuel, Comus, and Encounter. The guests having been presented to the Prince, His Royal

Highness gave his arm to Lady HENNESSY, the Governor following with Lady SMALE and the

whole of the guests filed into the dining-room. During the banquet the Band of the 27th Innis-

killings played a selection of music; first German, with an intermixture of the popular Suabian melodies of the ancestral home of the Hohen- zollerns, followed by some Scotch and Irish

National airs. At the close of the entertainment, His Royal Highness rose and proposed in a clear and ringing voice, "Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland," the Band playing "God save the Queen." Immediately after the

Governor proposed "His Majesty the Emperor of Germany," whereupon the Band played the national anthem of Germany. The Prince then rose, and all present proceeded to the drawing- room, where those assembled for the "At Home" were presented to His Royal Highness. The presentation lasted till nearly three P.M., when the Governor conducted the Prince to that part of the room where the picture of the Prince Consort was to be unveiled.

His EXCELLENCY then, addressing the Prince, spoke as follows:- May it please Your Royal Highness: Ladies, and Gentlemen,-In this eastern limit of Queen VICTORIA's dominions, I am about to unveil the portrait of the greatest Statesman-Prince of our age. There is some- thing not inappropriate in doing so in the pre- sence of his grandson and within sight of the shores of China. The laws and literature of the venerable Empire, whose mountains we be-

hold from this house, inculcate filial reverence and domestic affection. I well remember that in the House of Commons Mr. DISRAELI, in sup- porting a vote of condolence on the death of the

THE HONGKONG GOVE GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 10TH MAY, 1880.

ince Consort, said that the Prince had dis-

arged the highest public duties under the most heult circumstances, and that he had elevated

n the Throne of England by his domestic life.

Nt to THE QUEEN herself, who was it that shared

st in the happiness and in the cares of that mestic life? THE PRINCESS ROYAL OF GREAT

APAIN AND IRELAND AND CROWN PRINCESS OF ASSIA.--(Applause.) And hence it is, Sir,

at your illustrious Mother is enshrined in the arts of the people of England---(Renewed

plause.) Another British statesman of great

rience, Lord GRANVILLE, has recorded the

that, in all his life, whether official or pri- in any class

ge, he never met with any person,

society, who possessed a clearer understanding

whose intellectual faculties had been more

Zhly cultivated, than the Prince Consort, no from whom personally he had derived so ch instruction in the most useful branches

statesmanship. Remembering what Lord

RANVILLE said, aud reading now the last vo- ue of the Prince Consort's life, we feel that,

en Mr. DISRAELI spoke of the Prince dis- arging the highest duties under the most Heult circumstances, we may add with truth Eat he did so with complete success--(Applause.) We now know that in the long roll of English vereigns we never had a King who could rival Trince ALBERT in all that is truly Royal in cha- eter and conduct.--(Applause.)

The Band of Her Majesty's 27th Inniskillings played at intervals during the banquet. The only toast of the evening was given by Prince THOMAS of Savoy, who proposed "The health of Her Majesty the QUEEN of Great Britain and Ireland," and, addressing Prince HEINRICH added : “ Sir, Your Royal Grandmother." The Band played the National Anthem, and soon after the party adjourned to the Drawing Room, which was presently filled with ladies and gentlemen attending the general reception.

The Officers of the 27th Inniskillings, with Lieutenant-Colonel GEDDES, were amongst the earliest presented. There were also present the Officers of Her Majesty's Navy and of the foreign ships of war in harbour, including the Portuguese man-of-war Tejo which had arrived the preceding evening from Macao to convey His Excellency Signor GRA?A's compliments and congratulations to the Governor of Hongkong on Her Majesty's Birthday.

The presentation lasted for more than an hour. In the course of the reception His Royal Highness Prince HEINRICH expressed to Mr. SASSOON and Mr. BELILIOS his regret that he would not be able to travel through India. He spoke also a few kindly words to the leading Chinese merchants Mr. TAN KING-SING, Mr. LI TAK-CHEUNG, Mr. FUNG MING-SHAN, and others.

SIR,I have the honour to report that the Fourth Clerkship in this Department has been left cant by the transfer of Mr. GUTIERREZ to the post lately resigned by Mr. CHAGAS and by the transfer Mr. CHAN A-FOOK to that vacated by Mr. GUTIERREZ.

2. As I believe it is the wish of the Governor to encourage the flow of promotion in Government Departments when Officers prove themselves worthy, I beg to recommend that Mr. J. G. GUTIERREZ, present Assistant Clerk in the Land Office, who knows how to keep books and accounts and who already conversant with the duties, should be promoted one step and receive the post of Fourth Clerk, leaving his office to be filled up in the manner His Excellency may deem best.

3. In the Colonial Estimates, the Salary of this post is $70 a month, but I think it would be latter to reduce it to $60 a month for the first few years, leaving the increase of $10 to be earned by dlligence and zeal on the part of the holder.

　　　　　　The following Report from the Superintendent of the Botanical Gardens and Plantations is Fablished for general information.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th May, 1880.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

REPORT ON THE GOVERNMENT GARDENS AND PLANTATIONS.

BOTANIC GARDENS, 15th April, 1880.

　　　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to forward my Report on the Botanic Gardens and Tree Planting. Department.

2. Thinking that it would be interesting to know the number of visitors to the Gardens, I had all ho entered on two days in March, 1879, counted, and the result was as follows:-

First day,..

Chinese. 635

Second day, ....................... ..1,339

Others.

190 826

Total.

2,165

in fell during the greater part of the first day, which accounts for the smaller numbers, but which ows that even then the Gardens were a source of much pleasure. The result of the second day's anting represents about the number of visitors usually frequenting the Gardens in fine weather.

3. The general appearance of the Gardens has been decidedly in advance of previous years. This owing considerably to the weather, the rains during the past summer having been unusually re- ar, and no heavy downpours having occurred to damage the walks and beds. Besides, the work- en are becoming better trained to their work and appear to take much more interest in it, although requires an immense lot of careful and constant direction to keep them working up to the standard h I am anxiously desirous they should reach. The boys, nominally called apprentices, but only ing so in the sense that they are employed at the age that apprentices are taken, and that they are

fully instructed in garden operations, are giving great satisfaction.

　　　　　　4. The collection of Cacti which has been made and is now very fairly represented, continues to drive well. All the plants of the orders Amaryllidea and Liliaceae, consisting of Agaves, Yuccas, &c., which were growing amongst the Cacti, have been carefully transplanted and formed in two collections, iping the two orders distinct.

5. On the sides of the walk next to the Fountain Terrace the trees of Grevillea robusta, the The Australian "Silky Oak," have made excellent progress and now form a very effective avenue.

9. As with the Conifers so also the Palms have quite filled the ground which was set apart for family, and, excepting very dwarf kinds, no more can be planted in the New Garden, but as Palms o interesting and beautiful, and such general favourites, it would be desirable to find other places i new introductions.

10. The Fernery in Glenealey Ravine in the New Garden, which was made about five years has succeeded admirably. During the past year nearly all of the Ferns were labelled, but I much that it has been found almost impossible to keep the labels in their places, they are either fre- ly removed and misplaced or taken away entirely. The walk through this Fernery being such a thoroughfare between the Robinson and Caine Roads, it will, I think, be better to make the

11. The glass-roofed Fern and Orchid house, which has done good service, is in a very decayed ion, the material, wood of which it is constructed, is quite unfit in a climate like this where white in combination with the moisture which is requisite for the cultivation of plants, work such ruin. house is undergoing repairs sufficient to keep it standing for a little time, but if the Government e fit to sanction the erection of a more ornamental house in a better situation in the Garden, it I am sure, be much appreciated by the public.

12. By His Excellency the Governor's instructions I designed and had constructed a Fence of iron granite on the verge of the precipitous banks near the Palmery, and on the side of the walk from Glenealy Ravine to the monkies' house. Before this was erected it was extremely rous to children walking near those places.

19. Thanks are particularly due to Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co., the Agents of the E. A. R. M. S. S. Company, for their great kindness in conveying plants and seeds free of cost, to Messrs. SASSOON, JARDINE MATHESON & CO., DOUGLAS LAPRAIK & Co., and the CANTON STEAMBOAT COMPANY rlike kind services; and also to the Captains and Officers of the many steamers for the care which as been bestowed on the various consignments.

20. Rhagodia hastata, the "salt bush" of Australia, which cattle and sheep feed upon during droughts has been introduced and planted on the hills for trial; it has grown vigourously during the dry season, and will probably be useful in future for fodder, which is much required by cow pers in the dry season.

21. Euchlaena Luxurians, a new fodder grass, was received from Kew Gardens, and grown last Under cultivation it grew very rapidly and reached a height of 15 feet, but plants which were anted on the hill-side and left to themselves only attained 5 feet high and were yellow and sickly.

r our soil I think it is unsuited.

year.

22. Another Shrub, indigenous to the Canaries and called "Tagasaste" (Cytisus proliferous) is to be much liked by goats and cattle. Seeds of it have been received from Kew Gardens and ants raised from them have just been planted on the hills.

23. In consequence of the, change announced by His Excellency the Governor in Council on November 6th, 1879, which restored the Botanical Department to independency and entirely discon- eted it from the Survey Department, the business of this Department has been much facilitated and increased in usefulness. The working of the Tree Planting Establishment with Chinese assistants

has given me much satisfaction.

nly

24. With the contemplated extension of usefulness which is desired from these Gardens, similar the work done by other Botanical Gardens, I shall endeavour to accomplish, with the aid that is ways accorded to institutions of this kind, the work that is expected from us. I would take this pportunity of inviting the aid of all persons interested in Botanical work. Persons travelling, or ated in different parts of China, frequently have opportunities of obtaining information on vegetable lucts, and of collecting plants and seeds, which I should be pleased to receive so as to make these Gardens the "head quarters of investigation, whether scientific or merely utilitarian, into Chinese

getation" as suggested by Sir JOSEPII D. HOOKER.

25. As showing the good which Botanic Gardens may do for the different British dependencies well as for their own respective colonies or countries, I extract the following remarks from Sir JOSEPH D. HOOKER'S Report for the year 1878 on the Royal Gardens, Kew:----

"Exchanges and correspondence are constantly maintained between Kew and the numerous Botanic Gardens which exist in Bristish dependencies. This constant intercommunication is, on the one and, indispensable to the maintenance and prefection of the Kew Collections, on the other hand, it is great advantage in facilitating the exchange from one garden to another of the vegetable products different parts of the Empire. I am anxious, however, to see the Botanic Gardens establish to a ater extent than at present, a chain of independent interchanges, which would increase their own fulness and enormously facilitate the work which is done at Kew. We have attempted, for example, send plants to Fiji, but with but little success, on account of the great distance. Any particula. nt could, however, be established in Ceylon with moderate difficulty, from thence it would be sent Singapore and so on to Brisbane and Sydney, and finally to Fiji. At each successive stage, in case a failure, the difficulty of renewing the attempt would be much smaller than if it were necessary to rt afresh from Kew. I am the more led to make these remarks from having had my attention atedly drawn by applications made to Kew from residents in the colonies, to the fact that some the most important functions of a colonial Botanic Garden are often apt to be lost sight of. Such titutions are obviously likely in most cases sooner or later to develop into the pleasure grounds of towns and cities near which they are situated. But without disparaging their public usefulness in respect, it is important that their primary function of promoting the botanical interests of their ctive colonies should not be forgotten. That there is some risk of this happening, I can only me from the constant applications made direct to Kew for information, seeds or plants which it is arly the business of the Botanic Garden of the applicants' colony either to supply or procure. This s to another point. No colonial garden can discharge its functions efficiently if the superintendent not occasionally make journeys with a view to discovering new and interesting plants for the "ose of interchange with other Establishments. But the demands made upon his time often prevent perintendent attending to this part of his duty, which is so important in keeping up an imperial in of exchange, besides promoting the interest of the garden under his charge, and varying the utuny of a life of unintelligent routine. I am afraid that this is sometimes overlooked by the local ments and managers; one superintendent is tied by meteorological observations, another by wing vegetable for sale. In every case where some obstacle of this kind is allowed to override legitimate freedom of action of the superintendent, I am convinced the interests of his establish-

suller in a variety of ways, and that the policy is a short-sighted one.

THE HONGKONG.GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1880.

26. Dr. Gerlach very kindly allowed me to send a coolie, with his expedition up the North River. to collect plants for this establishment. Besides many plants which were valuable additious to our Gardens, the following new species were discovered:

Aster Gerlachii, Hance.

Dolichadrone sp.

Senecio phalacrocarpus, Hance.

Cheilanthes (Adiantopsis) Fordii, Baker.

Asplenium (Euasplenium) fuscipes, Baker. Polypodium (Niphobolus) calvatum, Baker.

(Phymatodes) cantoniense, Baker,

　　　　27. The collection of plants for the "hortus siccus," or herbarium, which I have made during the last nine years, has been rearranged and labelled according to Bentham's classification in the "Flors Hongkongensis," and placed in cabinets made for the purpose. A dried collection of the plant- cultivated in the Gardens has been commenced; and another one of Chinese plants not indigenous tr Hongkong. In this work, as well as in contributing living plants and information on Chinese vegetable productions, persons resident in different parts of China could render good services to botanical science by collecting and presenting dried specimens of plants in flower and fruit, which I would gladly

receive and make use of.

28. When the Sweedish "Vega" Expedition was here on its way home, a collection of nearly 200 species of South Chinese dried plants was prepared here, and presented by His Excellency the Governor to Professor Nordenskiold for the Expedition.

29. Very valuable assistance has been rendered by the Royal Gardens, Kew; Dr. H.F. HANCE, F.L.S., H. B. M.'s Vice Consul at Whampoa; and Mr. THEO. SAMPSON of Canton in botanical work; by the two former in the identification of plants &c.; and by Mr. SAMPSON in the contribution of nearly 200 dried specimens of Chinese Plants which I have placed in the herbarium. Upwards of 60 dried speci- mens of plants have been sent to correspondents for botanical investigations.

ZOOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS.

　　　　30. The Aviaries and Monkies' house are in a very dilapidated state and require thorough repairs or rebuilding. The Monkies' house is in a very bad situation for the welfare of the monkies. In conse- quence of its shaded position sufficient sunlight cannot be obtained to keep the animals in good health. All of the buildings are made of wood and are being constantly destroyed by the monkies and birds biting and pulling them to pieces. The most economical thing would be to re-erect the buildings of more durable material, if the Zoological collection is to be maintained in these Gardens. It would probably be better if a site could be obtained elsewhere for these things, and some more additions inade to form a fairly good small collection of animals for the amusement and instruction of those people who are fond of such things.

31. The following were the contributors and their donations to this Department

EASTLACKE, F.; one Python. ELLIS, Captn.; two Wallabies. HANCOCK, W.; three Pythons.

QUINSEY, W.; one Cockatoo.

WHARRY, Dr.; two Kites.

WHITEHEAD, W. T.; one Siamess Honey Bear.

TREE CULTIVATION.

32. In this Establishment there is not much for me to report on as to what has been done, in consequence of the management of the tree-planting and plantations having been so short a time in my hands, since my last Report on the work was furnished. On the eve of my departure for England. in February, 1877, I submitted a Report, which was, however, not published, but it was a source of gratification to see that it bore good fruit, as the Surveyor General, the Honourable Mr. PRICE, who was acting for me during my absence, in compliance with His Excellency Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY'S wishes, drew up a Report on an extended scheme of tree-planting and was able to make use of many of the statistics which my Report supplied. The management of the tree-planting remained in the hands of the Surveyor General, assisted by Mr. CERNEAU during most of the time, from February 1877, until December 1879, when it was restored to me. Therefore, for this period, I cannot do more than refer generally to what has been done, not being in possession of details and statistics.

33. In 1878, with the increased vote which was granted for tree-planting, it appears that many new large nurseries were made and a great number of seedlings of Pinus sinensis reared, about half of which were planted on the hills in 1879, and the other half, with the exception of those planted this year, remain in the nurseries until the time arrives for planting them also. The seedlings in the nurseries which have been prepared this year, since the management was restored to this Department. all look very promising.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1880.

437

　　　　　　　34. Although nurseries will always be necessary for rearing trees in for certain purposes, especially for trees of other kinds than Pinus sinensis, which I propose to introduce, now that the plan- tations of the latter are sufficiently large to afford the requisite shelter to other species requiring protection for a few years, still they will probably not be essential on so large a scale as was commenced

in 1878.

35. British Colonial Governments only introduce new cultures and then, when they are shown to be profitable, expect private individuals to pursue them. This may not unreasonably be applied now to some extent to the planting of this Island. There are a number of Chinese here who are anxious to do something in this way if the Government will give them the necessary encouragement. The rough out- line of the scheme would be that the planters should have certain districts allotted to them, that they should plant the ground with trees-certain portions of land to be allowed them for other cultures as vegetables, fruit trees, pine-apples, and possibly tea to a small extent, and that the planters should have the thinnings of the plantations for a certain number of years, say 10 or 15, at the expiration of which, the plantations, with a certain number of trees per acre in them, should be resumed by the Government. In the execution of this scheme proper rules would have to be drawn up and observed by both parties. A plan of this kind, I think is quite feasible.

36. To afford more variety to the Trees bordering streets and roads I planted in 1875 and 1876, trees of the following kinds which have succeeded :-

Castanospermum australe (Moreton Bay Chestnut). Putranjiva Roxburghii (an Indian tree). Pithecolobium pruinosuin.

Cedrela australis.

Erythrina sp.

Dryandra cordata.

Caiphora officinarun. (Camphor-tree).

Ailanthus glandulosa. Quercus Harlandi (Oak).

Celtis sinensis.

Sterculia nobilis.

Bauhinia purpurca.

Swietenia Mahogani (Mahogany-tree).

　　　　　　I hope now to continue the introductions of a further variety of trees as circumstances permit. During the last five or six years a very large number of trees chiefly the so-called "banian "Ficus retusa---have been sacrificed in the streets to make room for improvements and alterations in streets and building.

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 attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

TREATMENT OF PAUPERS IN

HONGKONG.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

(In C. S. O. No. 773 of 1880, Mrs. CH'AN n?e NG, petiuon for relief, having been left destitute with two children.)

I agree with Dr. EITEL's note on this petition and would be glad if he would suggest some way of mitigating the evils of this form of destitution

whilst avoiding the formation of a pauper class.

Meanwhile let him give this poor woman $5 from the Charitable Allowance Fund.

(Signed), J. POPE HENNESSY.

2nd April, 1880.

REPORT BY DR. EITEL.

　In pursuance of His Excellency the Governor's Minute of the 2nd instant. to the effect that I should suggest some way of mitigating the evils of destitution, whilst avoiding the formation of a

pauper class, I have the honour to submit the following considerations :---

1.—The present condition of destitutes

in Hongkong.

　The classes of destitutes. i.e. of persons desti- tute of the actual necessarics of life, at present to be found in Hongkong, may roughly be divided into non-resident foreigners (i.e. Europeans, Americans, Indians and Malays), Macao or Hongkong born Portuguese, and Chinese.

As to non-resident foreigners arriving here in a state of destitution, or lapsing into it after arrival, their respective Consuls and countrymen speedily take some steps to get them shipped off elsewhere, as most foreign nationalities here consider it a duty of national self-respect to rid the Colony of their own paupers. Nevertheless there is always a small fluctuating residue of non-descript seamen, deserters, or men discharged from Hospital, who are beyond the pale of the Merchant Shipping Act, disowned by their respective Consuls and Shipping Masters, “ beach-combers " well known to the Marine Magistrate as incorrigible loafers or to the Police Magistrate as drunken sots.

They hang about the grog shops, levy blackmail on former shipmates and on native fruit hawkers, call at gentlemen's houses early in the morning begging for food and clothes which are forthwith converted into drink, and manage to get on well enough in summer when they can sleep out on

ew hillside or wuywhere, but in winter they nerally prefer to accept sulkily the hospitality the gaol where two meals a day and a bed at are furnished to them, provided they turn early in the evening and look out in day time employment, which eventually takes them way from the Colony.

As to Macao or Hongkong born Portuguese

- rtunate.

stitutes, there are always women going about begging petitions at all hours of the day, lling at private houses, but generally not in- Deserving Portuguese poor have, gever, their ecclesiastical charities to provide their direst wants, and there is also a Society St. Vincent de Paul which is a sort of Artuguese Charity Organization Society for the ewily in the Colony.

As to Chinese destitutes there is no provision zade by Goverriment, nor by private organization, r dealing with Chinese forms of destitution in a ystematic and at the same time humane and tional manner. Chinese destitution, as seen

n Hongkong, consists in the first instance of #reditary and professional mendicants, viz., lepers aaal professional beggars, who use personal rag- eless and physical debility or deformity as a meus to gain a livelihood by begging for food They frequently also employ base cash.

hildren who dog the steps of strangers, espe- cially in Queen's Road ('entral, linouring for - kuinsha," whilst they themselves keep a lookout to give timely warning in the rare case of a Constable awaking to his duty of interfering in the matter. 2/A second class of Chinese destitutes

consists of strangers, waifs and strays cast on the community by kidnappers who have been

merfered with.by the Police and who are then ged at the Tung-w? Hospital, or of lunatics r whom also there is no other refuge but the ung-wa Hospital, or of stray orphans, or travellers of penniless en route.32 A third class of Chinese destitutes consists of men disabled by accident, ness or excessive opiun smoking, who have no nds here and no money to return to their estral homes, or of women with a larger

number of children than they can, in the absence r through the desertion of their husbands, sup- rt, and who, especially since the Chief Justice's judgment on the subject of domestic servitude,

prevented by fear of prosecution disposing

·f their children for legitimate domestic purposes

arrangement with other facilies.

For all these Chinese destitutes, who, in PO- tion to a population of over 140,000. Chinese the Colony, happily form but a comparatively cai number, there is neither poor-touse nor pensary nor hospital, nor even lunatic asylum, snailed by the Government. There is indeed Tung w? Hospital, but the Committee are so ad of being burdened with permanent pauper nts, that no poor are admitted into the Hos- without recommendation on the part of untial subscribers. There is also n Poor Box very limited means at the Magistracy, but Romebat cases of extraordinary misery, or paupers

able to tell a specially plausible story, get a dole. There is further a Charitable Allowance Fund

annually included in the Estimates and under

the control of the Governor. But as neither

Magistrates nor His Excellency the Governor

have or can have any means at hand to discrimi-

indiscriminate between the deserving and the undeserving

di indigent, there is grave reason to believe that

even these very limited funds do more harm than

good, as far as Chinese destitutes are concerned,

and for this reason no doubt the Governor's Cha-

ritable Allowance Fund is mostly used for the

charitable institutions of the Missionaries.

though many of the Chinese destitutes in the Colony were born here and are consequently

British subjects, they have, happily for the peace of the Government, no notion of the existence

of the Poor Box at the Magistracy 'or of the Governor's Charitable Allowance Fund, nor have

they any idea that, as Lord ELLENBOROUGH (see 4 East's Reports, 108) has established, the law of humanity, to which English Common Law must be assumed to conform, puts the Govern-

ment under obligation to afford relief even to

aliens and therefore ? fortiori to British subjects to save them from starvation.

2.-The

way in which the Government hitherto dealt with destitution.

Barbaric, as some of the provisions of the Elizabethan Acts (39th and 43rd) were, and deterrent as the leading principle of the English

Poor Law Act of 1834 is, the law of England,

from Queen ELIZABETH to the present day, rested on the two humane and rational principles, viz.: relief to the disabled without work and relief to the able-bodied in return for work. To these old pillars on which the l'oor Law of England rested for the last three centuries, the Act of 1834 added the establishment of a powerful Poor Law Execu-

　　tive, for purposes of inquiry and control, prohibi- tion and direct ?on. Whether outdoor relief is combined with the old work-house system as in England, or excluded in favour of the work-house test as in Ireland, the one leading idea of the English and Irish Poor Law is that no one in the country can by law remain destitute of the actual necessaries of life.

　　　The local laws of this Colony, I regret to say, approach in barbarity the severest provisions of the Elisabethan Acts whilst making no provision whatever for relief even to the disabled, orphans or lunatics. Ordinance No. 14 of 1845, Section II, 17 says,

every person who shall beg, or expose any sore or infirmity to view, for the purpose of exciting compassion and obtaining alms,. shall be liable to a penalty not exceed- ing five Pounds," provided this offence is con- mitted in any thoroughfare, or public place or adjacent thereto, within the Colony of Hongkong. Ordinance No. 14 of 1856, recognizes, in a certain legal sense at least, the “rights of paupers" by making provision in Section X, that nothing

contained in this Ordinance (regarding fees and

ave come to the Colony for the purpose of men-

licaney, o" any person2 suffering from leprosy or

　　　　　　　v other contagious diseases, shall be liable to Is a fine not exceeding ten dollars and not less

han one dollar for every such person so brought

by him as aforesaid." Ordinance No. 8 of 1876,

Section XV enacts, "any person convicted before

! liable to a fine not exceeding five dollars, o,

in default thereof, to imprisonment with or with-

it hard labour, not exceeding twenty-one days,

7. in the discretion of the Magistrate, shall be

liable to be wihipped thirty-six strokes and be

nt to his native place.”

This is therefore all that the Law of Hongkong fers to destitutes, fine and imprisonment with or without hard labour, and, in the case of Chinese. 1-w whipping and deportation to the lestitute's native country, or, if the destitute be a native of Hongkong, to that delightfully vague region designated by the Ordinance as "any other place.' None of these Ordinances defines its terms as

lating to the destitute. Some are professedly

eces of class legislation, leave it to the Magis-

te's discretion to decide what mendicity may

e. with what intent a pauper may come to Hong- kong, or what purpose a man with a canker in

is face may have in walking through the streets,

and finally leave it also to the Magistrate's discre-

on which practically means his temper, to say

hen it may please him to fine and imprison or

whip aud deport.

This condition of the law regarding Chinese

destitutes, being exclusively repressive and deter- nt, is certainly not hummane. But it is not even tional, unless poverty and destitution are to be sidered as a crime. For if destitution is con- red as what it really is, viz. a misfortune, od if we remember that all the world over, Jenever the poor are left to private charity, a main amount of madicity is inevitable. it will parent that it is neither Inumane nor reason- le for the Government to have no other remedy offer for the misfortune of its Chinese subjects for the natural consequences of such misfor- He but that of fine, imprisonment, whipping and paration, Hongkong was once supposed to likely to serve as a model Colony to exhibit

　　　　　　　　of China the bright example of a Christian Government and a civilized commu- nity. And indeed when we compare the state of things in Hongkong with that of England we seem to have someting to boast of by way of the blood-bought results of this unchristian mode of dealing with the poor and the destitute. Whilst according to the Statesman's Year-Book for 1880 (p. 243) the runber of paupers, exclusive of vagrants and casual poor, in receipt of public relief in the several unions and parishes of England and Wales in 187), amounting to 800,426, is such that there is at present one pauper to every thirty persons in England and Wales, we have in a population of over 140,000 Chinese in Hong- kong not one pauper in receipt of Government or Colonial relief, and the actual number of paupers in the Colony may safely be estimated not to

exceed a few hundred. But, however successful

the results of this barbaric policy of brute repres- sion may appear on the surface, the means

　employed to secure these results are anything but creditable to a Christian Government or a civilized community.

3. –Dangers to be avoided in dealing with destitutes in Hongkong.

　　As regards foreign destitutes, who are aliens, it is obvious that with the aid afforded by the private charity of the various nationalities repre- sented among the residents of Hongkong, under

the guidance of their respective Consuls, the condition of those foreign destitutes, who are aliens, Government interference would be entirely uncalled for.

In the case of non-descript foreign destitutes, disowned by their respective Consuls, and in the case of British destitutes, anything done by the Government over and above what is now being done in furnishing such destitutes with board and lodging in the Gaol, would tend to make the situation of a "beach comber" or "or destitute here more eligible than the lot of a hardworking seaman or stoker, and consequently

　put a prernium on loating and idleness. Portu- guese destitutes also may well be left to the care of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul which, in case of special need, will know how to apply to Government for aid.

　　As regards Chinese destitutes it may fairly be conceded, that, barbaric as the provisions of such local Ordinances are as those of No. 8 of 1858 and No. 8 of 1876 which authorise whipping and deportation in simple cases of mendicancy, they were no doubt prompted by the danger which does lie near, on account of the proximity of the Chinese frontier, that indiscriminate and lavish aid afforded in Hongkong to destitutes,

be it by the Government or by private charity, would practically act like a magnet attracting from all the nooks and corners of the Canton Province swarms of professional beggars and lepers to a Colony like this where money is more' plentiful than anywhere in the province of Canton.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1880.

korgar or pauper is not a very hard one in There are infirmaries for the aged of 1th sexes, asylums for the blind, homes for the

pers, and orphanages in Canton and elsewhere.

pers have their homesteads everywhere along

rivers in the Canton Province, and levy their

on the river traffic. Professional beggars make ir homes in temples, and are formed into guilds nd receive quarterly allowances and semi-annual

blic dinners from mercantile corporations.

No shopkeeper dares to turn away a beggar though

Law may keep him waiting for a handful of rice or a cash some hours at a time. Nevertheless,

perism is treated by the Chinese as the

ence of Divine Judginent, as a pre-destined

lamity. Chinese charity, though it does afford

ef to paupers, treats pauperism in such a

Freet way that it leaves pauperism, in spite

the relief afforded to individuals, its innate

aracter of a misfortune. Indeed the experience

Europe has also served to teach, what the

Chinese maintain, that we must leave pauperism

w we find it, viz., as a misfortune, or else we Bison by misdirected charity the first springs of

lustry, thrift and self-help and put a premium

n imposture, improvidence and pauperism. The chinese are habitually temperate, thrifty, provi- dent and loyally devoted to the duties of filial ery and the obligations of social ties. If the verainty of subsistence, be it ever so scanty, were held out by law to the destitute of Hongkong, it would tend to undermine the moral tone, the thrift and frugal industry of the Chinese. Where Jorge classes of the population, as in Europe, are Labitually itemperate, or where, as in many aricultural districts of the United Kingdom, here is an unsatisfactory diffusion of property and where wages are too low to provide for the brer's future, Poor Laws and Poor Rates : justifiable. But as uone of these conditions

int here, any dealing with panperisin in Hong- Loong on the model of English, Irish or Scotch

Por Laws is not only uncalled for but would d to produce here those same deplorable features European pauperism. Again, both in Europe ad in the United States, it has been found thiit State aid given directly to the poor tends to

essen the exercise of filial and domestic duties,

i. very virtues in which Chinese at present excel. : the other hand, whilst all pampering of pan-

setism is to be earnestly deprecated, as anything ading to encourage habitual reliance on the aid others is fatal to energy, self-help and industry, On the other hand a system of brute barbarisin, h as flogging and deportation, and the utter nce of Government care for the destitute, is padly or even more far to the interests of the itrites and the State. As jndicious aid en- ges self-help and places the destitute into position that he shall never require aid 9. so the refusal of all aid and assistance and re stemness of the deterrent policy which cut but the cell or the lash and no kindly to help, and treats poverty as a crime and rely as a misfortune, causes loss of hope orge, paralyzes all energy and drives to despair.

constantly occurring in Hongkong, and of cases

of this brute deterrent policy in dealing with destitution.

4.--Remedies Suggested.

As will be seen from the preceding remarks,

I neither recommend the introduction of a Poor

Law and compulsory Poor Rates, nor direct assumption by the State of the work of dispens-

ing public charity. It could easily be shown

that many of the canons of English Political

Economy, based as they are on the state of things

which the United Kingdom presents, are inappli-

cable to the different conditions of commerce and

society in this Colony. I am therefore by no

means prepared to accept even JOHN STUART MILL as an infallible authority. Nevertheless I am also persuaded that he is incontrovertibly right in saying (Principles of Political Economy, People's Edition, p. 585) that “what the State may and should abandon to private charity is the task of distinguishing between one case of real necessity and another," and that "the State cannot undertake to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving indigent." In harmony with this principle I would recommend that the remedy for Hongkong destitution be left in the main to private charity aud to voluntary cffort, but that the Government should do every- thing in its power to organize by law private charity which may then be supplemented by State aid: What Hongkong specially needs therefore is a “Chinese Charity Organization Society” which would raise funds by voluntary subscrip- tions, supplemented if need be by the Government for constructional purposes at first; which would subject destitutes to a vigilant and beneficial

scrutiny, not by paid Inspectors but by voluntary workers of social position and wealth; which would render fraud impossible and relief unpala-

table and thus neither discourage the faint-hearted and despairing, nor suffer the improvident and idle to lapse into contented pauperism. Such a Society, however, can of course not be created artificially. It requires men of wealth and posi- tion, men of character and influence, men who have love and vocation for such work. But in my opinion it is the duty of a Government deal-

ing with native races to take advantage of native virtues and educate them up to a higher level by encouraging and drawing out every good tendency and giving countenance to deserving

men of energy, intelligence and humane feeling. The best way of encouraging the Chinese in the Colony to establish of their own accord such a Charity Organization Society " as I recommend,

would be for His Excellency the Governor at once to appoint a certain number of influential Chinese gentlemen as a first nucleus of a "Com- mittee of Referees." They should be recognized

as such by the Government, honoured in native style, and trusted to advise the Government in all cases of appeal made by individual Chinese desti-

tutes, to investigate such cases, to deal with them discriminately and to afford relief so as to

彼職

avoid the formation of a pauper class. For the last two years His Excellency the Governor has virtually done this and instead of consulting, as he originally did, the Tung-w? Committee, His Excellency has occasionally referred questions affecting Chinese poor to certain leading men as the N?m-pak-hong merchants. All I advocate is the formal recognition of just such a "Committee Referees" who should not be Compradors, not the Tung-w? Hospital Association, and yet have Futficient influence in the latter Committee to secure the hearty co-operation of the Tung-w? Hospital staff when needed. Such a Committee of Referees would soon develop into a Charity Organization Society and possibly other orga nizing Committees of reference for municipal affairs might develop from such a stock.

But there are other remedies, in my opinion, which should be seen to by the Government at the same time. In the first instance, the Law, as it stands in its barbaric provisions regarding the fiogging of mendicants, should be revised. Next, as the great fountain source from which destitu- tion springs is to be found in the poorest classes of the population, the poor should have less obstacles thrown in the way of their obtaining squatter's licences free of hampering conditions, for settling on the hillsides, for erecting their sheds and cottages in their own style, for keeping rigs and poultry and raising vegetables. Next, I would recommend that neither the Government Civil Hospital nor the Government Lunatic Asy- lum be kept closed against the Chinese as these institutions hitherto were. The Magdalene Ins- titution at W?n-tsai should be accorded State aid en a far more liberal principle, so as to enable that charitable institution to combine with its present purposes a free hospital for the contagious diseases of women. Arrangements should also be made in the Gaol or elsewhere, either inde- pendently by the Government or in combination with the West Point Reformatory, to separate juvenile offenders, who only too frequently drift either into the condition of habitual paupers or criminals, from all the other prisoners in the Gaol, and to subject them, during the term of their im- prisonment, to an essentially different treatment, such as would not merely be deterrent but tend towards a reformation of habit and character. But as most important of all I regard the duty of the Government to aim, without claiming a monopoly for its education, at obtaining a stronger influence on the elementary education of the lower classes. Public fur.ds should therefore be far more liberally devoted to the education of the poorest than to that of the well-to-do classes, and the promotion of English teaching in elementary chools for the common people should be attempted by the Government in preference to the costly ching of the higher branches of an English Education desired by the middle and 1 upper classes

of Chinese residents.

WEEKLY HOLIDAY TO GOVERNMENT OFFICERS DURING THE HOT SEASON.

依甲戌年第五條則例載曉諭專照得凡有燬隻遵

The following Minutes al Reports are published for general information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 8th June, 1880.

Acting Colonial Secretary.

MINUTE BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

His Excellency the Governor requests the views of Heads of Departments as to the practicability of making such arrangements as would enable His Excellency to give the Public Officers one holiday every week during the hot season, say till the 10th of October.

Heads of Departments are invited to say what day in the week would be most generally useful, in the event of their being able to arrange for the closing of their Offices as suggested.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, 7th August, 1877.

(Signed,)

CECIL C. SMITH, Acting Colonial Secretary

REPORT BY THE HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

　　　The vacation of the Supreme Court lasts for August and September. The daily attendance of the Officers is for a short time and it will be unnecessary that in these Offices the arrangement should apply.

Supreme Court, 8th August, 1877.

(Signed,)

very considerate

J. SMALE, Chief Justice

REPORT BY THE SURVEYOR GENERAL.

I have conferred with the numerous personnel of this Department on the kind and considerate intentions of His Excellency the Governor which are deeply appreciated, and we are of opinion that it the present half holiday, Saturday, could be made a whole holiday it would not appreciably interrup the conduct of public business. Such an arrangement would not only allow of the subordinat Officers having an entire day to themselves but what is equally important, it would give Mr. BoWDLES and myself the opportunity of a full day free of interruptions (which in this Office are from 10 till 4 harassing and incessant) in which to despatch the week's arrears of work.

(Signed,)

J. M. PRICE, Surveyor General.

Surveyor General's Office, 11th August, 1877.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1880.

REPORT BY THE POLICE MAGISTRATE.

477

　　　　　　　The Magistrates will very gladly make arrangements so that one half of the staff of the Department an have a holiday on Friday and the other half on Saturday.

This can be accomplished without detriment to the public business.

Magistracy, 13th August, 1877.

Report by the Acting COLONIAL TREASURER.

(Signed,)

C. MAY, 1st Police Magistrate.

The most convenient way that the Treasury Department can enjoy the holiday proffered to be iven by His Excellency, is that one half of the Officers are absent on Thursday and the other half on Friday. I believe the arrangement can be carried out without detriment to the service or inconvenience o the public.

(Signed,)

C. MAY, Acting Colonial. Treasurer.

Colonial Treasury, 13th August, 1877.

REPORT BY THE HARBOUR MASTER.

　　　　　　　It would be an inconvenience to the public to close this Department for a whole day weekly: at, in order that the Officers may have an opportunity of taking advantage of His Excellency's liberal roposition, I suggest that on Wednesdays as well as Saturdays the Office be closed at 1.30 P.M.

Harbour Master's Office, August 14th, 1877.

(Signed,) 'H. G. THOMSETT,

Harbour Master.

REPORT BY THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.

It is very undesirable to close the Post Office under any circumstances, and the Saturday's half holiday is not observed here. I think however His Excellency's kind proposal might be carried into effect by giving half the staff a holiday on Thursday, and half on Tuesday, these being the leisure days

in summer.

As to the Stamp Office the hours are already short (10 to 3) and I do not think they should be curtailed.

Post Office, 14th August, 1877.

(Signed),

ALFRED LISTER,

Postmaster General.

REPORT BY THE ACTING CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.

　　　　　　　Without causing inconvenience to the public, arrangements can be made to close the Central Police Office on any day (except Saturday or Monday) which may be generally recognized as a Govern- ment holiday.

· (Signed),

C. V. CREAGH, Acting Captain Superintendent of Police.

Police Department, 14th August, 1877.

REPORT BY THE ACTING REGISTRAR GENERAL

There will be no difficulty in making arrangements in this Department by which the Officers can njoy the holiday which His Excellency has so kindly suggested might be given to them. The heral wish of the Department is that Wednesday be the day selected, and should there be no jection to this day, arrangements can be made by which the public will suffer no inconvenience. (Signed), H. E. WODEHOUSE,

Acting Registrar General.

Registrar General's Office, 16th August, 1877.

478

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1880.

REPORT BY THE ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

It would be a very great relief to all those employed in this Office to enjoy one holiday in each week during the hot season. The proposal of His Excellency has been consequently gratefully received in this Department and in the Audit Office. Very rarely is any one able to leave his desk until 5 P.. and not unfrequently the Office is not closed until nearly 6 P.M.

Nevertheless, public interests might suffer if the C.S.O. was closed wholly on some day which was not a general holiday in the Colony and I beg to recommend that His Excellency sanctions a Depart mental arrangement by which each one of us can have the advantage of one holiday a week.

On the day when I am not here Mr. ALMADA would attend, and vice versa.

The days on which The two Officers employed in the Audit Office would arrange together as to their day of leave.

we should interchange would be Wednesdays and Thursdays.

(Signed,)

CECIL C. SMITH. Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, 18th August, 1877.

With reference to the opinions of the different Heads of Departments I venture to suggest as

follows:-

1. That the Survey Department be closed on Saturday.

2. That Heads of Departments are at liberty to make their own arrangements so that all those engaged in the respective Offices may enjoy one holiday in each week. The Colonial Secretary to x be notified as to the day on which the Head of the Department proposes to be absent.

18th August, 1877.

C. C. S.

A.C.S.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

I approve of the Acting Colonial Secretary's suggestion as to the mode of carrying out the proposed

arrangement.

Let it be put in operation at once.

(Signed,) J. POPE HENNESSY.

Mountain Lodge, 18th August, 1877.

In accordance with the foregoing Minutes the following Circular has been issued.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 4th June, 1880.

DIRECTORS TUNG-WA HOSPITAL TO THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

-The undersigned beg respectfully to ate that this Hospital has ever since its esta- himent been favoured by the High Authorities the Colony granting all lawful self-management which the members of the Committee are tremely grateful. There is however one point, that of taking pupils who wish to study eine, which was a matter of special interest rmer Governors as Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL ASir ARTHUR KENNEDY. At that time, how- 7. no students were obtained, and therefore "pon conld really not be put in execution. The Committee now submit for consideration the study of medicine is a matter of no mean portance, that a good physician is able to save ple whilst an ordinary physician is but able to people's lives. A public meeting has

efore been held at which it was resolved to

Wish a set of Rules and Regulations, and

CAN LIN-SUN has accordingly been engaged Hospital to teach in the first instance the ice of Chinese medicine, with a view to the 卡. after having obtained a general insight its leading features, being subsequently fur- instructed in the practice of Western medi- so that they become equally versed in the e and foreign systems of medicine when will surely be able to prolong life.

500

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH JUNE, 1880.

　　　The Committee now beg most respectfully to submit the Rules and Regulations, under sixteen heads, which have been passed, with the

request that they be laid before His Excellency the Governor who will learn therefrom that the matter arose from the pleasure the Committee take in advancing talented men, and from their anxiety to promote the interests of general health. Con- sidering how His Excellency cherishes feelings of sympathy, and how he has at heart the woes and sufferings of the people, he will be sure to be suffused with pleasure on hearing of this.

　　　Whilst expressly forwarding this respectful petition, the undersigned avail themselves of the opportunity to wish you the comforts of promo- tion, and only hope you will generously overlook any want of politeness.

Your most obedient and humble Servants, the Directors for the time being of the Tung-w? Hospital.

RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING THE STUDY OF MEDICINE.

1. It has been resolved to receive ten Students,

but before any Student can be received and entered as such in the books, it is requisite to enquire as to the purity and propriety of his character and conduct and as to his thorough acquaintance with the written language and to make sure that he is over 20 years of age. Each

(Candidate) must further be recommended by two persons or by a respectable firm or shop. Each Candidate's name has first to be entered in the register (of applications) to facilitate detailed enquiries. At the appointed time an examina- tion will then be held, both orally and in writ- ing, and those who come out best will then be placed on the Hospital Staff as Students.

2. In accepting Students, the preference will be given to those who are equally well versed in both the Chinese and English written languages, but those who have a slight knowledge of both English speaking and English writing will also have the first claim. If no such Students can be obtained, a thorough acquaintance with the Chinese written language is nevertheless required before any Student can be received at all.

　　　　3. Students who have once been accepted, shall be supplied by the Hospital with salary, board, paper, pencils and books, but clothes, shoes, bedding and such like articles, must be supplied by each Student for himself.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH JUNE, 1880.

4. Each Student, having once been admitted

into the Hospital, will have to study medicine

on the day of his entering the Hospital for at List five years, and he shall not be allowed to row up the engagement before the completion

that term and thus waste all previous attain- ents. If any one arbitrarily gives up study ore the completion of his term, those who eured or recommended him shall be required t repay to the Hospital $10 for every month, unting from the day he entered the Hospital, make compensation for the salary and board

received, and further he shall pay a fine of

$100 for general expenses, in order to punish se who waste the profession by their own alt.

5. Each Student who has fulfilled his term of

Live

ve years, has to serve a further term of three

wars for the benefit of the Hospital, first, to how that he himself is not ungrateful, and next Also to widen his experience and knowledge. But the Hospital will also pay him then a small alary to prevent his pursuing his duties with rraving unsatisfied. The rate of payment will le during the first year four Taels a month, Thuring the second year six Tacls, and during the

third year eight Taels a month. An exception

-hall be made, however, in the case of Students who, before the expiry of the term of five years, attain to good and mature professional know- elge or who are recommended by the Hospital

Association for transfer to some other Benevo- jent Institution.

6. Each Student shall, on completing his tern of five years, be examined by the Medical Tutor, acting in committee with the other Doctors of the Hospital and with the Directors of the Hos- tital, in the ordinary subjects of his studies, and his work is found satisfactory and shows xperience sufficient for professional practice, the iHospital Association will give him a. certificate and issue at their own expense a public adver- tisement setting forth his attainments.

7. As to the differences which will appear mong the Students as regards diligence or lazi- Zess, cleverness or dullness, it is now resolved That the Medical Tutor shall hold, either him- for in committee with the Directors for the e being, an examination once in three months, those who are classed first shall be allotted Frize as, may be determined upon, and those ho are deficient or lazy shall have their errors

corded.

All the Students are required to observe Rules and Regulations respectfully and sub- Set to the ruling of their Tutor, and they shall tt be allowed to go out arbitrarily, whether in v time or at night. If any Student miscon-

cts himself in matters such as the evils of caoring gambling, or opium-smoking, he shall liable to be dismissed. As to relaxation for rivate conversation, liberty to sit down or lie Tn, and so on, there shall be fixed Bye-Laws, if any Student fails to udhere to such Rules Regulations, or waste his opportunity for aly, he shall furthwith be rebuked or expelled.

9. It may happen that there are among the

Students cunning and perfidious men, anxious to make money, who, on perceiving that this Hos- pital has Regulations such as rebuking and expell- ing those who break the Rules or those who waste their professional opportunities, proceed to make these very Regulations a stepping stone for their hurry (after money) and for their escape (from the Hospital) without waiting for the expiry of the term of five years, and who therefore inten- tionally break the Rules of the Hospital with a

view to get out of it and to impose upon people

　as quacks. If there is any case of such wickedness, this Hospital shall be at liberty to have public no- tices printed and issued, setting forth the darkened state of such a man's conscience, so that out- siders be not imposed upon by such a man. But

this Hospital will not dare to cherish any harsh or oppressive design, but will be truly anxious to confine itself to frustrate such a man's scheme if intended to impose upon people by artful assumptions.

　　10. It may happen that there are among the Students men of naturally dull perception or of unsettled and flighty temperament, unsuited to the practice of the medical profession, and utterly unlikely ever to attain to efficiency. In such a case the medical Tutor shall bring the true facts of each case for discussion to the knowledge of the Directors, and further the persons who stood security for or recommended such a Student shall also be informed, and the Student may be requested to choose some other profession lest his prospects in life be spoiled by his own fault.

11. Each Student must, on entering the Hos- pital, make himself thoroughly at home in the Noi-king," Sh?ung-hon-lun," "Kam-kwai,' "Mak-k'?t," "Tong-t'au" and similar books which he will have to repeat memoriter, or to write from memory. Or he may have to study by at- tending the patients, or to practise describing the pulse, all of which will have to be done by him as the medical Tutor may order. As to the number of hours to be allotted for the daily study of the different subjects and as to the interual Regula-

　tions of the Hospital, these points will be settled from time to time in consultation with the medical Tutor.

12. Each Student who has been received shall be properly taught and instructed by the medical Tutor, who will at all times give explanations with a view to make the teaching effective. But as the study of medicine is different from the study of literature, it is necessary to attend on patients before real advantages can be gained. As soon as the Students have attained to an insight into the principal features of pathology, they shall be taken to the wards of the general Hospital to go the rounds among the patients, to learn to diagnose disease and to watch the treat- ment adopted. They shall also watch the cases which the Doctors of the Hospital take up from day to day (among out-patients), attend every

xert themselves to give such explanations with- ut distinction as to the place from which any tudent may have come. Thus perchance the bject this Hospital has in view of raising talented nen may not be frustrated.

13. If there is any Student whose attainments

re so good and so mature as to gain the confi- lence of all the doctors in the Hospital, he shall e permitted to go to the out-patients' Dispensary nd act as Dispenser there, so as to increase his nowledge and improve his experience.

14. After the Students have been at their tudies for two years, a selection shall be made of those Students who are intelligent and smart, nd possess special aptitude of disposition, and a petition shall be addressed to the Colonial Govern- ment to send these Students to the Government ivil Hospital to study and practise foreign me- licine there. These Students, however, whilst udying foreign medicine, shall continue their Chinese medical studies at the same time, so that perchance their labour may not be wasted, but divided either into forenoon and afternoon work

r week by week or month by month, as may be

teemed advisable. For each of the two medical

ystems has its advantages, and as long as life can be saved, it does not matter whether the ethod adapted be native or foreign. If any Student could really make a compromise between and thoroughly comprehend both systems, such a man would some day not only benefit humanity by reversing the severest case of disease, but he night really be eligible for employment or con- ultation on the part of Her Majesty's Government, and his practice would be verily unlimited. Let t be hoped, therefore, that none will. shirk the ifficulties and miss such a splendid opportunity.

15. The medic:l Tutor, being solely responsible or the education given, shall exert himself to his tmost to afford instruction, and shall maintain rict discipline. There shall be no overleaping of the graduated standards of instruction with a view to gain special distinction, nor shall there e energy at starting and neglect in ending. The great.aim should be as regards those within ot to fail in not doing credit to oneself, and as

egards those without not to fail in doing credit

1 them. Steady good work will naturally mani-

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.

REPORT BY DR. EITEL.

I have the honour to report that after seeing the

alleged father of the little boy, Au M?i, mentioned within, also So LING and the shop-keeper who. stood security, I found that the story they have to tell tallies with that given in the statement which Mr. CREAGH forwarded. The alleged father of the little boy gave as the reason why he wished to give his boy to S? LING as an adoptive child, that he was going to Annam and that, as a widower, he could not provide for the boy.

I then asked the shop-keeper who is engaged in the N?m-pak-hong business to bring me a written statement of all the particulars of the case after submitting it to the principal members of the N?m-pak-hong Guildhall Committee for their opinion. This was promised, but I have not received the paper yet.

To-day, acting with the approval of the Acting Colonial Secretary, I went on board the New Fokien, and had the boy handed over to me, and, after communicating with the Tung-w? Hospital Committee and the Chinese Society for the pro- tection of women and children, sent the boy to the Tung-wa Hospital, where he will be kept until His Excellency the Governor decides the

matter.

pre-

I shall forward the papers from the shop which stood security and the report which will be sented after due enquiry by the Society for the protection of women and children as soon as 1 receive the papers. Meanwhile I place the above stated facts on record for the information of the Government.

It appears to one that this is no case of kid- pping, and there is nothing that would warrant rosecution for that offence. There will pro- bly be no risk in detaining the child pending e enquiries of the Society for the protection of omen and children. But it is clear that the her meant to give his child for adoption; and do not see how the child could be detained from

if he should come himself and claim it. m,

Enclosure B.

(Translation.)

Careful enquiry shows that the boy sent here

by order of His Excellency The Governor is of the surname ? and called M?i, 7 years of age. and a native of the Sam-shui District.

His father, ? A-PUN, was killed by a fall in the Sugar

Refinery in the ting-ch'au year (1877). His mother, of the surname Fox, died in the mo-yan

year (1878). There are three brothers left, the eldest of whom, called ? A-LAM, was brought up

by his adoptive brother. The younger brother,

U SAI was brought up by a cousin called ? SHUN.

The boy above mentioned used to live either with his uncle ? I or with his cousin ? SHUN. In

the present year on the 17th day of the 3rd moon

(25th April, 1880) his cousins ? SHAN and ?

TSUI took the boy with them to sacrifice at the

tomb (of his father?) and after that he went to

? Tsur's place and had his dinner with him. After the dinner the boy went himself to his

uncle ? I. On the 29th day of the 3rd moon (7th May, 1880) his cousin U SHUN, finding that

both the boy and his uncle ? I had disappeared,

went to the Police Station. As to how the boy was sold, no particulars are known. His cousin ? SHUN resides at S?m-shap-k?n (Astor Buildings)

No. 3, Tung-on Lane, on the ground floor.

(Translation.)

As to the boy who was lately brought back from Amoy, I find that he calls himself AU A-MUI. But I find now that he is in reality ? A-M?I, 7 years old, a native of S?m-shui, and has neither father nor mother. There is an uncle ? A-1 who was formerly maintaining himself as a locksmith at Sai-ying-p'?n. I know not where he is now. ? A-MUI has one elder and one younger brother. The elder brother is called A LAM, 9 years old. His younger brother is called SAI-MUI, 5 years old. Both are still in Hongkong. There is also a cousin ? A-SHUN, 42 years old, an employ? in the T?i-cheung foreign clothes (washerman's?) shop in Lower Gough Street. There is also an adoptive mother (step- mother?) called A-NGAN who lives at S?m-shap- k?n (Astor buildings) at No. 3, Tung-on Lane, on the ground floor. I find that ? A-MUI was formerly either living with his uncle or with his cousin or with the adoptive mother (step- mother?) and thus brought up. Unfortunately on the 17th day of the 3rd moon (25th April, 1880,) the brothers went to the Coffee Plantation (at West Point or at Wong-nai-ch'ung?) on the 18th day (26th April, 1880). The boy had his dinner in the evening with his cousin ?Ts? after which he was never seen again. On the 28th

INTERPRETATION IN THE SUPREME COURT.

(C.S.O. No. 1592).

HONGKONG, 30th June, 1880.

　　　SIR, I have the honour to recommend that the Interpreters of the Supreme Court be officially requested, through the proper Authority, to be careful as to the way in which they render into Chinese the legal terms used in Court.

　　　The principal reason for this recommendation is, that I happened to notice lately that one of the Interpreters in the Supreme Court, on the occasion of the Chief Justice's passing a sentence of penal servitude on a prisoner, used, in interpreting that sentence, for the words "penal servitude" words which, in Chinese, have no other meaning but that of " transportation to the frontier," and on question- ing the Interpreter privately about it, I was informed that the other Interpreters in the Supreme Court use the same wrong term and have been doing so for years past.

I presume that the term in question was in vogue before transportation was abolished, and retained ever since. But although the term "penal servitude" has a wide meaning, the Chinese term used by the Interpreters means deportation, and nothing else, and excludes detention in a gaol.

The same inaccuracy pervades the system of rendering other legal terms on the part of the Supreme Court Interpreters, who, in my opinion, need a warning to be careful.

V. 745.

SIR.I have the honour, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, to point out that the Chinese term that appears to have for years past been used in interpreting the sentences of "penal

rvitude" in the Supreme Court, means "deportation," and excludes the idea of detention in gaol.

I am also instructed to say, that the Governor would be glad to receive a report on this subject the present Interpreters, and that His Excellency has no doubt, with Dr. EITEL's supervision al assistance, the renderings into Chinese of the legal terms used by your Honour can now be settled

rreetly.

His Honour THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

THE SUPREME COURT, July 5th, 1880.

SIR,I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 745, dated 1st July instant, which you point out that the Chinese term that appears to have for years past been used in inter- ting the' sentences of "penal servitude" in the Supreme Court means "deportation," and excludes the idea of detention in gaol.

On the 2nd of July, instant, I sentenced prisoners to penal servitude.

I took that occasion to use

Mr. ROZARIO as Interpreter in one case, and Mr. BALL as Interpreter in the other case.

Entirely unknown to either Interpreter, Mr. CHUN TAI-KWONG, by my direction, wrote in Chinese haracters the interpretation by Mr. ROZARIO in one case, and that by Mr. BALL in the other case, my words in each case being, as far as possible, identical in each.

I enclose the two interpretations as written by Mr. CHUN TAI KWONG. I have abstained from aking to Mr. CHUN TAI KWONG on the subject. I have not spoken to either Mr. ROZARIO or to Mr. BALL, because it would, I suggest, be better that Dr. EITEL should speak to them.

I trust that, if the present interpretation is faulty, it will be improved under Dr. EITEL's supervi-

The matter seems to me to be of grave importance.

I would suggest that the two papers enclosed should be preserved.

I have, &c.

THE HUNGRUNG GUVERNMENT GAZEIIE,

(In C.S.O. No. 1591.)

JULI, 1881.

In pursuance of His Excellency's direction to report further on the subject mentioned within, i

have the honour to state:-

1. That the Interpreter whom I first heard use the term, ch'ung-kwan, for penal servitu.i.. was Mr. BALL; that I then gave him privately what I consider the correct rendering, viz.: 4x 1, no-kung, and that, at the same time, I suggested to him to advise the other Interpreters to use the same term and to adopt the legal terms which I use in translating the Government Gazeite, but that I said all this privately, as a matter of friendly advice, expressly stating that I had no authority over Mr. BALL or any of the other Interpreters of the Supreme Court.

2. That the raison-d'?tre of the recommendation I made is simply that, after having spoken to Mr. BALL privately, I found that the other Interpreters continued to use the same wrong term as befor

3. That the words on enclosed blue scrap, over the signature "Mr. ROZARIO," viz.:

J. ch'ung-kwan-chi-tsui, mean "crime (or punishment) of deportation," whilst the words written on the blue scrap over the signature "Mr. BALL," viz.: "I ts'o ng-nin-k?m tsok n?-kung," mean "remain in prison for five years doing penal servitude work."

4. That for the term, ch'ung-kwan, which, till I spoke to Mr. BALL, was used for years past by the Interpreters of the Court, I made extracts from all the authorities I possess, and enclose the result which will speak for itself.

　　　5. That for the term I, n?-kung, which I gave to Mr. BALL, and which, after consultation with Mr. TONNOCHY, I had long ago introduced into the Gazette as the rendering for "penal servitude," I have no authority to adduce, for the simple reason that, as "penal servitude" is unknown to the laws of China, the written language has no established fixed term for it, but the term which I adopted I saw used by the Chinese Commissioners who reported on the condition of Chinese in Peru and elsewhere, and who called the condition of Chinese condemned by the Peruvian Government to work in the mines I. literally "slave labour."

6. That this term "n?-kung" (XI) for "penal servitude" is colloquially as plain and intel- ligible as in the written language it is in harmony with the spirit of the Chinese language.

SIR, On the suggestion of the Honourable the Surveyor General, we have the honour to address you on the subject of the new construction of cook rooms to certain houses, as required under Ordi- nance 8 of 1856, Section VIII.

　　　　　　Reference to the accompanying plan will show that it is proposed to have no cooking places to two houses on the left side of the plan.

　　　　　　　These houses are about to be used as a Bank and Goldsmith's Shop, and the owners, Mr. QUAN EE and LEE LEONG object to any fire-places of any sort, and state that the necessary food will be sent cooked from a neighbouring restaurant.

　　　　　　The question is, whether His Excellency the Governor considers it necessary that the Ordinance should be enforced in this particular case.

　　　　　　Mr. TUCK CHEONG, of the Wohang Firm, is anxious that the same restriction should be removed in the case of his house at the Corner of Endicott Lane and Queens Road, the plans for which are in course of preparation.

We request that we may have an answer at your earliest convenience.

· REPORT OF THE SURVEYOR General.

Section VIII of Ordinance 8 of 1856 requires that every dwelling house should have a proper cooking place. The structures in question are, by their design, "dwelling houses," and I therefore told Mr. WILSON that, without in any way doubting the truth of his assertion as to the tenants going to the restaurant to dine, or their intention to have their meals brought in cooked, I felt bound to ask him to comply with the law and provide kitchens.

　　　Succeeding tenants might not care to have their provisions brought in cooked, and they would then be driven to light fires anywhere in the rooms, to their own discomfort from the smoke, and possibly to the danger of the premises and the surrounding houses. One of the greatest safe- guards against serious fires lies in the provision of a safe cooking place and flue in every tenement, and I therefore think we should see that this excellent requirement of the law is adhered to by all builders.

J. M. PRICE,

Surveyor General,

20th January, 1879.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

Prim? facie, Mr. PRICE's opinion seems to be a sound one. Perhaps Dr. EITEL can take an opportunity of ascertaining from the leading Chinese their views also on this point.

OPINIONS OF LEADING CHINESE.'

I consulted the leading merchants of the N?m-pak-hong Guild on the subject. They are of opinion that in Section VIII of Ordinance 8 of 1856 we have a very good and useful rule, viz., that in all buildings which are used or liable to be used, either partly or entirely, as dwelling houses, there should be safe cooking places. With reference to the arguments adduced in Messrs. WILSON and SALWAY'S letter, they are of opinion that, although the owner of the premises may wish his tenants or employ?s to obtain their food from cook-shops, there is no certainty that they would always do so. the contrary, they are of opinion that the employ?s on the premises would be certain to boil, at any rate, their tea on the premises, and boil water every evening for bathing, the consequence of which would be that the smoke would become a nuisance to the other tenants, and that the lighting of fires in unsafe places would endanger the whole house and the surrounding houses too.

FIRE BRIGADE Department,

HONGKONG, 16th February, 1875.

　　　SIR,-I have the honour to report for the information of His Excellency the Governor, that the shopkeepers of the village of Yau-ma-t?, British Kowloong, have expressed their desire to form s Volunteer Fire Brigade, and to subscribe a sum, which will probably amount to $200, towards the purchase of a suitable fire engine and equipment. As this appe?rs a very desirable thing to encourage, and that it is hoped the example may lead to similar formations at other large villages in the Colony. I beg to recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of His Excellency, and to ask that a sum not exceeding two hundred dollars, will be authorized by Government, to add to the amount of subscription before mentioned, the total (say $400) being adequate to purchase a suitable engine, hose and equipment.

　　　I also ask that I may be authorized to expend a sum not exceeding sixty dollars, to furnish uniform jackets, trowsers and bamboo hats for twenty-five volunteers.

　And whereas no man can be forejudged of life or limb, or subjected in time of peace to any kind of punishment within this realm by martial law, or in any other manner than by the judgment of his peers, and according to the known and established laws of this realm; yet nevertheless it being requisite, for the retaining all the before- mentioned forces, and other persons subject to military law, in their duty, that an exact discipline be observed, and that persons belonging to the said forces who mutiny or stir up sedition, or desert Her Majesty's service, or are guilty of crimes and offences to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, be brought to a more exemplary and speedy punishment than the usual forms of the law will allow

Information.

The following Report of the Superintendent of Gardens and Plantations is published for general

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th July, 1880.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GARDENS AND PLANTATIONS.

BOTANICAL GARDENS,

16th October, 1879.

　　　　　　　　SIR,-In reference to the proposed changes in forest management, I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the Governor, 1st, a history of the Gardens Department since 1871; 2nd, remarks on forest work; and 3rd, deductions arrived at from experience in departmental management.

I. HISTORY OF THE GARDENS DEPARTMENT.

　　　　　　　2. I was appointed in March, 1871, and arrived in Hongkong in the following June. I found the gardens nominally, and actually in some particulars, in control of the Surveyor General, in which state, in consequence of the absence from the Colony of His Excellency the Governor, it remained for seven months, .e., until February of the following year, when Sir RICHARD G. MACDONNELL, having arrived from leave in England, informed me that when I was being appointed he had particularly interested himself in the appointment, and personally requested Sir JOSEPH (then Dr.) HOOKER to nominate a candidate that should be competent to take over the entire charge of the gardens and tree-planting as a separate department. Consequently we were detached from the Survey Department, and I find that the first letter from me, as the head of my own department, was addressed to the Colonial Secretary on February 7th, 1872. Soon afterwards, Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL appointed a Garden Committee, consisting of five gentlemen, which existed until the beginning of 1877. The Survey Department was invested with the execution of the new earthworks, drains and walls then in progress in the gardens.

3. Mr. RICE was appointed Surveyor General on January 1st, 1873, nearly twelve months after the gardens and tree-planting had existed as a separate department; and he arrived in this Colony Sometime between the end of July and beginning of November, when I was away in North China. Mr. FALCONER acted for me during my absence, and during that time Mr. PRICE objected to carry on the works in the gardens until my return, when, on my recommending certain works to be done in the gardens, Mr. PRICE commenced a movement for the object of securing more power in garden manage- ment. The particulars of this, and Sir ARTHUR E. KENNEDY'S memos., will be found on ?.S.O. No. 3209, which resulted in Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's instructions on C.S.O. No. 3602.

Mr.

4. Mr. PRICE in his remarks contained in C.S.O. No. 3209 refers to "angry misunderstandings and confusi?n which occurred." In reference to this I may here mention what this referred to. MCHARDY, the Acting Surveyor-General, sent a gang of coolies into the gardens to dig up bamboos for planting in one of the streets. This was done without my knowledge, and in opposition to Sir RICHARD MACDONNEL'S instructions in reference to my separate department. When I became aware of this intrusion, I protested against it and requested Mr. MCHARDY to withdraw his coolies. During the time that Mr. MowSAN was Surveyor General he and I were on the most friendly terms, although we th admitted the unfitness of the gardens, &c., being attached to the Survey Department. The "confusion" of two persons disbursing one vote was only a temporary one, in consequence of the business-like state of affairs then in existence while the New Garden was being formed, but such a thing need not have been had the Superintendent been invested with his own legitimate work of being entirely responsible for the laying out of the grounds, and the formation of walks and drains, as this is thing more than is expected and performed by the managers of large garden establishments in England and elsewhere.

　　　　　　　　5. I never heard that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL consulted his Executive Council in reference to the separation of the gardens and tree-planting from the Survey Department.

　　　　　6. On the eve of my departure for England I received a letter, of which the following is a copy, another change in garden management.

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, 3rd February, 1877.

DEAR SIR,--With reference to the future supervision of the Gardens and Plantations, I am directed quaint you before your departure, that His Excellency the Governor in Council has been pleased resolve,

upon a representation made by myself some weeks ago, to cancel the orders contained in S. No. 3602 of 1873, and which have hitherto been in force, and to re-establish the integrity of Public Works Department of this Colony by restoring to its legitimate supervision the work ich had for the last four years been estranged from it, and transferred to a body of gentlemen known the Garden Committee.

576

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST JULY, 1880.

This necessary change will not affect your position in the Government service nor in any as detract from it, the only difference being that on your return you will transact your official busi with myself exclusively, in lieu of the Committee, which is now about to cease to exist.

Yours &c.,

(Signed)

J. M. PRICE,

Surveyor Generat

　　　7. This was the first intimation which I had of the proposed change in management. As it wa only a few days before my departure for England, I did not make any observations in reference to it but during my stay in England I did make representations objecting to my being subordinated to e Surveyor General, as I knew that it would be detrimental to true botanical and arboricultural progress opinions which were endorsed by Sir JOSEPH HOOKER, who, from his very extensive knowledge i experience in this and kindred subjects, is probably the best authority from whom to seek advice. f need hardly say that, after a most conscientious and devoted application to my duties here, I felt

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　person- ally very much pained and disappointed at the apparent want of appreciation of my services, especiall as the proposed change, so far as I could see, could result in no other good than the gratifying of M

PRICE'S ambition.

　　　8. In consequence of His Excellency the Governor's wise policy, I was much gratified and couraged to find that the Botanical Gardens were, on the 15th of last March, again restored to the charge of the Superintendent in a more complete and useful way than they ever were before, a tru-! which it has been, and will be my endeavour to discharge to the utmost of my ability while I retain the direction of its business.

　　　9. Since the gardens were constituted a separate department, impediments to progress, such as existed in correspondence and the ordinary business transactions, have been removed, and in consequenc? of this more time has been available-instead of less, as was anticipated by Mr. PRICE would be the result in consequence of the additional work of a clerical nature which would fall upon me-for botanical investigation and garden management, besides the freedom which my mind has received from the improved systems which have been inaugurated.

II. FOREST Management.

　　　10. In reference to the above, I will most respectfully beg to have the honour of being permitted to commence by commenting on the Report on Tree Planting which Mr. PRICE addressed to His Ex- cellency the Governor on the 28th August, 1877, because, on this information, and recommendations contained in the report, it would appear that the more extended forest works which were commencel last year were partly based, and, before entering upon fresh operations, it is necessary to remove some false impressions and conclusions which have been arrived at.

11. Mr. PRICE was not responsible for the tree-planting-as will be seen by a reference to rule No. 7 of Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY's instructions in C.S.O. No. 3602 of 1873-from the date of his arrival in Hongkong until February 1877, when I temporarily vacated the charge, and, in consequence, Mr. PRICE was only in possession of such information and statistics as were gathered from my Report o Gardens and Tree Planting, which was forwarded, through Mr. PRICE's office, for the information of the Governor, on the 21st December, 1876, which ilis Excellency Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY desired Mr. PRICE to acknowledge and thank me for. Therefore, as many of Mr. PRICE'S calculations and con- clusions must have been mere speculations, in consequence of his not being in possession of statistic on some subjects which it was not necessary should appear in my report, it is not surprising that some of them should have been rather wide of the mark, and probably some of the figures which differ from my returns may have been accidentally changed. Some of the insignificant errors of routine work it is not necessary to refer to.

　　　12. For the more ready comparison of the report, I will place side by side what is necessary t quote from the report, aud my opinions on the quotations:--

Paragraph 14.

"Looking to the exposure of most of these it would be necessary to plant e trees somewhat thickly, so as to enable them shelter one another; not less than four should

planted to every hundred feet square, or, in ther words, 1,740 to the acre."

Paragraph 16.

"I should explain that one of the reasons why lanting has been hitherto conducted upon such sorry scale in this Colony, is to be found in the allness of the Government nursery at Soo- conp?, which will not hold more than fifteen housand seedlings, and which is therefore unable o accommodate one year's sowing and the

pre- eding year's trees at one and the same time. The process of transplanting sometimes over two months, and

extends

owing

to the young plants being still in their beds often is late as March, there is no ground available in which to sow the seeds that should be germinat- ing in February."

577

On account of the great steepness of our mountain slopes, the shelter which very small trees afford each other cannot be said to be any- thing at all; even if they were only one foot apart, the top of the lower tree would only be at about the base of the upper one; therefore its being impossible for trees of one foot high to shelter each other, the question of shelter may be left out of consideration altogether. 1,210 trees to an acre is quite enough, as I found from careful observation, and with a view to the greatest use which can be made of the thinnings when the trees require such treatment. To plant the five thousand acres proposed, we thus reduce the number of trees needed from about eight and a half millions to six millions.

It was a mistake to suppose that this was one of the reasons why tree-planting had not been conducted on a larger scale. The nursery at Sookonp? will accommodate nearly 50,000 trees at one time, instead of 15,000 as here stated. In the year 1875, we planted from that nursery 19,796 trecs, and then not half of the ground was occupied with trees. The reason that no more trees were propagated, was because we had not sufficient money. Although I had repre- sented to Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY the importance of extending tree-planting operations, His Ex- cellency did not appear to be sufficiently inter- ested in the work o adopt the suggestion. The following is a return of the number of trees planted, and the cost of the work for four years, This includes the maintenance of all trees in streets and roads, as well as mountain planting:- Number of Trees planted.

Paragraph 19.

straw, and to convey them to their destinations.”.

After street and road trees were provided for. we spent the balance of money for hill planting. The trees were usually in the nursery beds much later than the time--March-which Mr. PRICE gives. We usually did not commence to plant Pinus Sinensis before April, and sometimes not before the middle of June, and we planted up to the end of July.

two acres.

The ground required would be about twenty- Half of the number of coolies stated for seed collecting should be sufficient, but about ten times the number estimated for digging holes. &c., would be required.

13. Having now dealt with the more important parts of Mr. PRICE's report of his views in refer- to tree-planting, before commencing operations I will state the result of the work performed, so far the limited, but nevertheless the most important, facts are available. I have recently been over most the ground planted, and from observations made in thirteen different places, which would fairly represent whole, I found that about seventy five per cent of the trees planted were dead. On the hills near chai Gap, the deaths amounted to about ninety per cent. Of the twenty five per cent which were , a great number appeared so very sickly that there was little promise of their surviving. The

trees when in the nurseries were not thinned as they should have been; and when they were planted they were pulled out of the ground, thus greatly injuring their roots, instead of being carefully lifted: the roots were not properly protected from sun and weather, consequently, before reaching their distan destinations the plants had frequently greatly suffered from lack of moisture in their tissues, which, after planting, the lacerated roots were unable to repair. The plants, from overcrowding in the nurseries. were also weakened in the parts proceeding from the plumule, so that both radicle and plumule being so much damaged, the vitality of the plant was reduced to its lowest ebb. When planting, the holes also were not filled with soil, but were receptacles for a superabundance of water during every shower. which kept the roots in a miniature swamp, at a time when the plants, with their damaged organs, were not in condition to assimilate so much moisture. The trees were also planted too deep; in many cases I found the small stems were covered with soil to a depth of six inches.

14. Had experience and intelligence, such as could only have been obtained by careful observation and study of the science of plant life, and a knowledge of expedients for the greatest economy of labour, been continually brought to bear on the direction of the work, we should not now have to record the sad result of the year's work.

　　　15. As bearing upon the foregoing remarks, it might be well to call to mind a few physiological facts upon which vegetable life depends.

16. In many seeds the vital principle is so strong that, to scatter them upon the soil, and to cover them slightly with earth, is sufficient to insure their rapid germination; but in others, the powers of growth will only manifest themselves under more favourable conditions; it is therefore necessary to consider well upon what the circumstances most suitable to germination depend. In dealing with many varieties of seeds, the greatest care in applying the agencies of moisture, shade, soil, covering, &c., is essential. Different kinds of seeds require different kinds of treatment to meet their varied demands; and not only this during the process of germination, but between the time of collecting the seeds and committing them to their seed-beds, boxes, pots, or whatever may be the situation demanded. The nature of the seed, whether oily, resinous, hard, soft, having a thick or thin testa, &c.; the known duration of retaining vitality under ordinary circumstances and under altered and varying conditions, must all be taken into account, weighed and considered from manifold views; all this requiring the time and skill of an expert to deal successfully with.

　　　17. The extreme points of roots are exceedingly delicate, and are injured by trifling causes : moreover, since all newly-formed vegetable matter is extremely hygrometrical, they have the power of absorbing, with rapidity, any fluid or gaseous matter that may be presented to them. In roots of ordinary exogens, the tip or spargelet consists of very loose, tender cellular tissue, resting upon a blunt cone of woody matter, composed principally of woody tubes, and connected with the albumen of the stem. It is the opinion of most vegetable physiologists that the absorbing or feeding powers are conducted principally at the points, and that the general surface of the root possesses little or no feeding power. It is almost entirely through their action that the enormous waste of fluid, which takes place in plants by perspiration, is made good; hence their importance to plants, and the danger of destroying them becomes manifest.

18. The functions of respiration, perspiration, and digestion, which are the particular offices of leaves, are absolutely necessary to the health of a tree, its healthfulness being in proportion to the degree in which these functions are performed, hence the importance of preserving those in a healthy condition is seen.

　　　19. An excellent authority on forest management says:-" How necessary it is that forester- should become throughly acquainted with the laws that govern the healthy development of trees before they have the management of rearing them."

III. DEDUCTIONS ARRIVED AT FROM EXPERIENCE IN DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT.

20.—The consideration of the foregoing, and much more which, if recapitulated, would render this report too prolix, confirms me in the belief that it is most important that the Botanical ani Forest management should be in charge of one and the same person, and that the Superintendent of the Gardens; as botanical, arboricultural and horticultural works are all so intimately connected, tha: in a small Colony like ours the three branches of one profession cannot be separate without detrime to one and all. The Superintendent has so many things to deal with in the three branches, that Le should be as unfettered as possible by official routine and circumlocution, such as existed when the gardens were a sub-department of the Survey Department, when delays occurred in dealing with subjects requiring prompt attention, which were fatal to the business in hand. As one instance, I may mention the delay in dealing with the plants of Pithecolobium Saman last year, which ended i disastrous results. This plant was introduced, through Kew Gardens, from South America, an was successfully treated in our nursery, 1300 plants being reared, but the Survey Department coul not be induced to move in the matter of transferring them to the forest establishment until after mo than three months after I had reported them as requiring prompt attention. The importance of the things seems to be unappreciated by the officials of the Survey Department, which is, perhaps, much to be wondered at, seeing that the knowledge of such things does not form part of their profe sional training. As one more instance of that department's inability to cope. with this department

mention that during my absence in England one hundred and eighty species of plants were lost to the gardens, as I reported and furnished the names of to the Acting Surveyor General on the 28th August, 1878. Some of these plants, which had been introduced from England and Germany, and of which we had only single plants of many species, I found had been removed in pots the Cemetery, and although I several times asked for their return, so that we could propagate hem and thus preserve the species, I offering to let them have, after propagation, plants in return, ny applications were never replied to, nor have we to this day received the plants.

21. Mr. MARIES, a traveller from the Messrs. VEITCHS' Royal Exotic Nursery, London, brought for presentation to the gardens a valuable collection of plants, which, on a second visit to the Colony, found in a dying or already dead condition, although, I heard plants of the same kinds presented to private individuals here were flourishing. Mr. VEITCH, when I saw him in London, reported this to Foreseeing, before I went home, that valuable consignments of plants could not be successfully well cared for, I requested my correspondents not to furnish the plants, &c., of my lists of desiderata ..ntil return.

　　　　　　　22. Simultaneously with its own investigations, this department, by correspondence, can assist the forest work, by introducing rare and valuable trees; and also in rearing such tender kinds as require more careful treatment than they could receive in the tree nurseries; and also in applying such infor- mation and experience as by correspondence, &c., are being continually supplied. The different opera- tions, also, could be brought into a better system and state of organisation, by the staffs, &c., being able to reciprocate, if the whole of the two establishments were under one practical and professional direction.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt, on the 17th instant, of your telegram stating that it was reported in Sydney that the Hongkong Government was promoting some scheme for the deportation of Chinese, convicted of criminal offences, to Australia, and enquiring if there was any foundation for the report.

　　　2. In reply, I informed you by telegraph that no such deportation is now allowed from Hongkong. as Governor HENNESSY had stopped it three years ago, and I added that I would write by mail.

3. I now enclose for your information some extracts of despatches on this subject from His Excellency to the Secretary of State, together with a report of some observations made by the Governor in November, 1879, in the Legislative Council, on Chinese Emigration from Hongkong to Australia.

4. You will observe from the enclosed papers that Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY is not disposed to encourage Chinese Emigration to Australia, and that he has long since put a stop to the deportation of Chinese criminals to your part of the world.

5. You will also see that, as the Governor points out, this system had been carried on withom the knowledge of Her Majesty's Government, and that His Excellency is of opinion that but a sma!! proportion of the Chinese criminals liberated in Hongkong from 1866 to 1877 on conditional pardon- were actually put on board the Australian steamers by the Police.

　　　　　　In paragraph 5 of your Despatch, you express a doubt as to whether I can be right in saying that some of the deported Chinese criminals were shipped off from Hongkong by the Police Authorities to the Australian Colonies, and you seem rather to think that the deported criminals were men who had returned to Hongkong for the purpose of emigration, and that under such circumstances, though they were seen by the Police Constables the latter did not interfere with them. What I reported in my despatch was, however, a correct statement of the facts.

The question of remitting one-half or two-thirds of the sentences of Chinese criminals under Conditional Pardons, by which they agreed to quit the Colony, had attracted my attention soon after I assumed this Government (April 1877), and from time to time, both in the Legislative Council and in despatches to the Secretary of State, I pointed out its impolicy. It seemed to me to be in- consistent with a proper administration of justice and with a strict system of prison discipline. I also felt that it was not quite fair to our neighbours in Australia or in the Straits Settlements. The following is a copy of a minute by Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent of Police, on the subject:-

'MINUTE BY THE CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.

'I have the honour to report that on deportation, or receipt of a Conditional Pardon, the ex-pri- oner was allowed to go where he pleased, and that if he selected Australia, Singapore, Shanghai or the Coast Ports, he was seen on board the vessel bound thereto by a Constable.

'If a man who had been deported had returned to the Colony for the purpose of emigration and had been seen by a Constable, it would have been the duty of that Constable to have arrested him, and I think he would have done so, for there was a standing reward of $5 for the arrest of any such man; I can recall no case where it has been made known to me that a deported man had been seen -on board a vessel and allowed to leave unarrested, because he was emigrating.

22nd October, 1879.'

(Signed)

'W. M. DEANE,

* Captain Superintendent of Police.

"That a Chinese criminal who had served only one-half or one-third of his sentence, was, on receipt of the Governor's Conditional Pardon, allowed to select, with the exception of any part of Hongkong, the country where he desired to live, and that when he selected an Australian Colony, he was then seen safely on board a vessel bound to Australia by a policeman, was a system of rather modern growth in Hongkong. I cannot find any record of its being reported to Her Majesty's Government. It

It sprang up after the departure of Governor Sir HERCULES ROBINSON.

"In accordance with your instructions, I enclose a copy of Chief Justice Sir JOHN SMALE's judg ment on the invalidity of certain Deportation Warrants; and I take the opportunity at the same time of laying before you the concluding passages in a statement I had occasion to make in the Legislative Council on the 6th of November, 1879, in which I referred to the Chief Justice's sound views on this subject, the assistance I have always received from him in dealing with deportation cases, and to the political consequences outside this Colony of transferring half punished criminals to other countries.

"On this latter point, I also enclose an extract from a report of some observations I made in Council, on the 22nd of November, on the effect of our Deportation and Conditional Pardon system. pon Chinese Emigration to Australia. Though some evidence was obtained by Mr. MAY's Com- mmittee on Police and crime that as many as fifty old criminals were seen off from Hongkong to Australia by the Police in the year 1876 and early in 1877, I am incline to think that but a mall proportion of the Chinese criminals liberated on Conditional Pardons were actually put on ard the Australian steamers by the Police; I believe the following statement of the Chief Justice his Report of the 19th of April, 1880, is correct, in which he says that most of these criminals returned to Hongkong and created the comparatively large criminal class that I found here:-

In 1866,' says the Chief Justice, the Executive, in order to avoid the expenses of a second gaol, ve Conditional Pardons, without reference to myself as Chief Justice, to hundreds of prisoners after aving served very short portions of their sentences, the condition being that they should leave the lony, and this practice was followed subsequently. Most of these men returned to the Colony, and that I attribute the formation of an enlarged criminal community, from which the Colony has

ever since been freed.'

On the "Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill," His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and th was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEV & Co. put before me. Some members of iny Executive Council appeared to think favourably of t scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which. looking at the papers, I had originally formed,-that I should not relax in any way the rules of th Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Mess's STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number o skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably them Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how i it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict lett of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at

time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed b this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight mott after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the ta that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conve in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.

There was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, aga which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it hal taken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at th Council, the deportation of criminals,-than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is retr to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells ** Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were set? Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese minals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor d deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deporte. simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, *** in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.

a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed or port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the grant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, he left the Colony. I think one witness--not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors--told the ommittee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals,

The Chief Justice. What date was this?

His Excellency. This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop. the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Acellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee sired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who re- ained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the one course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and here released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRIE) was a member, not only k the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese minals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia ince my arrival in this Colony.

ENCROACHMENT ON CROWN LAND.

No. 114.]

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, 20th July, 1890.

SIR-It has been recently discovered that, Inland Lot No. 8, owned by Mr. CHENG SING- UNG, exceeds the boundaries specified in his ise to the extent of 1216 squire feet, as shewn tated pink in the enclosed tracing.

2. Mr. CHENG SING-TEUNG'S attention having vu drawn to this encroachment, he has in an terview with me to-day expressed his desire

retain the excess of area.

3. As the confirmation of Mr. CHENG SING- PsG in his present boundaries will not spoil, in any way affect the allignment of the streets, ve no objection to his being allowed to keep arrow strip of ground in question, provided pays rent for it in accordance with the esta- hed practice.

[

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH AUGUST, 1880.

　4. For land in the neighbourhood of Inland Lot No. 8, a price of $2 per square foot would be fair and equitable, provided the ground were eligible for building, but this rim or strip is worthless and unsaleable by itself, owing to its extreme narrowness, and I am therefore at some loss how to give it any market value at all.

　5. Had this Lot been originally sold by Govern- ment for a competitive premium, with a fixed annual rent to follow, I would have suggested that the same rate of premium be now charged for the encroachment as was realized at its sale by the Lot itself. But Lot No. 8 was not sold for a premium. In accordance with the early practice of the Colony, the land was knocked down to the bidder of the highest annual Crown

rent.

6. In these circumstances, the Governor may perhaps approve of the encroachment being as- sessed at the same annual Crown rent per foot that was realized by the Lot, without further charge to Mr. CHENG SING-YEUNG. This would represent an annual rent of $16.17, which seems enough for so narrow a strip.

I have the honour to be,

P.S.-Since writing the foregoing, the petition

enclosed herein has come from Mr. CHENG SING-

Y?UNG.

21st July, 1880.

[In C.S.O.1775.]

(Translation.)

J. M. PRICE.

The petition of CHENG SING-YEUNG, having reference to his purchase of Lot No. 8, from the Gibb Hong. As the Gibb Hong had over 30 years ago built on a piece of Crown land, about three feet wide, and up to the present time not a word has been said about it, therefore, your Petitioner, having now purchased it, should by right have possession of the property as hereto- fore. But if your Petitioner is required to pay Crown rent for it (the small strip of ground), he is willing to obey instructions, but would beg His Excellency the Governor to show his kind- ness and not to demand any premium for the ground. Your Petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray.

Dated the 14th day of the 6th moon in the 6th Year of Kwong-sui (20th July 1880).

(Signed) CHENG SING-Y?UNG.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

I have in this, as in some similar cases, acted on the Surveyor General's recommendation, which eems to accord with the practice prevailing for many years in Hongkong, that the encroachment on Crown land, which was discovered on the recent sale of this valuable property, should le assessed only at the same annual Crown rent foot that was realized by the Lot when ori- ginally bought by Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON & to, without any further charge. I believe, however, that in all cases of such encroachments, I would be entitled to demand a premium or a higher proportional rent, looking to the increas- ing value of land in this Colony, and especially f the first-class commercial sites now passing into the hands of wealthy native traders.

Refer accordingly to the Attorney General for his opinion.

　　　　　For. what sum, and what date was this Lot originally sold?

And for what suun has GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co. now sold it to CHENG SING-YEUNG?

J. POPE HENNESSY.

26th July, 1880.

MINUTE BY THE SURVEYOR GENERAL.

This Lot (No. 8 Inland) was sold by Govern-

Vent in 1841, not for a premium, but for an

annual Crown rent (as explained in my letter)

$779.14 per annum.

VEUNG.

Mr. GBB sold it this year to CHENG SING- CNG, together with two other Lots, the property the house of GIBB, LIVINGSTON & Co., viz.:-- its 1A. and C3B. CHENG SING-YEUNG has paid 2210,000 for the thiree Lots, but what proportion

If this amount went to Lot 8 I cannot say, the atter being a private one between Messrs. GIBB, LIVINGSTON and CHENG SING-YEUNG.

cases of this kind I shall expect a premium or a

The following Notices to Mariners are published for general information.

By Command,

HAINAN STRAITS.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary

[All bearings are magnetic. Variation in 1880,-1° 30′ E.]

PRELIMINARY REMARKS BY LIEUT. E. P. CHAPMAN, H.M. SURVEYING VESSEL "Magpie," JULY 1880.

Directions. A vessel bound to Hoi-How through these Straits, from the Northward, can either proceed through the Banks, to the N. Ed. of Hainan Bluff, by one of two passages (the Northern or Southern), or first make the Tar Islands, and proceed through the Inner Passage, round Mofon Point and Hainan Head.

　　If taking one of the Passages through the Banks, a position by observation, when near them, is desirable, as they do not always break, and the soundings give but little notice of approach, being irregular. The tides are also strong and

uncertain.

The following is a description of the Banks commencing from the N.Ed., their extremes being taken from the fire fathom line:

N.E. Bank.-This Bank has 24 feet of water on it at Low Water Springs. Its N. Eastern extreme is in Lat. XP 25' 40" N., and Long. 110° 57' 40" E. It extends for one mile to the S.S.Wd. and is half-a-mile broad.

North Bank.--The Eastern extreme of this Bank is in Lat. 20° 22′ 12′′ N., and Long. 110° 58′ 15′′ E. It extends to the Westward seven miles, its Western extreme (having a rock with 3 feet, at L. W. S. on it) being in Lat. 20° 19 5 N., and Long. 110° 51′ 25′′ E. One and a half miles S. W. of this position is another small patch with 21 feet at L. W. 8.

on it.

Seal Bank.-This Bank is five miles long in an East and West direction, by three miles broad at its Western end, and one and a half at its Eastern, the latter being in Lat. 20° 23′ 20′′ N., and Long. 110° 49′ 15′′ E.

The least water

obtained on it was fourteen feet (14 ft.).

West Bank.-The Eastern extreme of which is in Lat. 20° 17′ 30′′ N., Long. 110° 43′ 35′′ E., is 5 miles long in a East and West direction, by mile broad at its Eastern, and 13 miles at its Western end, and has 2 rocks with 4 and 5 feet on them at L. W. Springs, on its Eastern end.

Little Bank.-Is 24 miles long in an E. & N. and W. S. direction, by mile broad. The Eastern extreme is is Lat. 20° 11′ 50′′ N., Long. 110° 38′ 20 E., with deep water close to. The least water on this bank is 11 feet (sand).

　　　Southern Banks.-Three banks lie on the Southern side of the South Channel, the Westernmost of which has 12 feet on it at L. W. Springs, is 43 miles long, by 2 mile broad, running in an East and West direction, and its Eastern eni is in Lat. 20° 12′ 20′′ N., Long. 110° 51′ 20′′ E. The Eastern one is 34 miles long and mile broad, runs in a N.E. and E. and S.W. and W. direction, has 15 feet on its S.W. and 24 feet on its N.E. end, which is in Lat. 20° 14′ 10′′ N., Long 110° 54′ 00′′ E. The Southern one has 16 feet on it, is 2 miles long, bymile broad, running East and West, and its Eastern extreme is in Lat. 20° 11′ 10′′ N., Long. 110° 55′ 00′′ E.

Overfalls.-There are numerous "overfalls" or "tide rips" in all parts of the Straits; the space between Haisse Point and Little Bank in particular, and also to the Northward of Little Bank.

Directions for the Northern Passage.-Being in Lat. 20° 29′ N., and Long. 111° 00′ E., a S. 47° W course leads between the Banks. When Fochin Pagoda is sighted, keep it well open of Hainan Bluff on a S. 43° W bearing, until clear of the Western end of the North Bank, which will lead up to a position 3 miles North of Haiss Bluff, from which a course of S. 81° W. (allowing for tide) will lead North of Little Bank, past P'ochin Point to Backsh Point fishing stakes, when a course may be shaped for the anchorage in Hoi-How Bay.

Directions for the Southern Passage.-Being in Lat. 20° 2′ N., and Long. 11° 05′ E., a course of S. 70° W. will lead to the same position as before mentioned (viz.: 3 miles North of Hainan Bluff), passing clear of all Banks and then proceed on the same course as directed for the Northern Passage for Backsha Point fishing stakes.

Directions for the Inner Passage.-With North Taya Island (548 ft. high) bearing South about 1 mile. course of N. 82° W. for 20 miles will lead up to a position 2 miles North of Mofon Point (which extends 4 miles N. 4 E. of Mofon Hill), from which a course of N. 67° W. (allowing for tide) can be shaped towards Hainan Point; taki care, if a flood stream is running, to avoid a reef of rocks the N. Eastern extreme of which bears N. 41° W., distant miles from Mofon Hill; and also a Sand bank with 11 feet on its N. Western end, and 16 feet on its S. Eastern, which 24 miles long by mile broad. Its S. Eastern extreme bears S. 56° E., 41?2 miles from Hainan Bluff.

When within 3 miles of Hainan Point, great caution is necessary, as there are several dangerous rocks on the p hand under water, and a mile from the shore, and a dry sand bank (Lat. 20° 09' 30" N., Long. 110° 44' 20" E.) with rock and shoal water extending N. 76° W. 2 miles, and S. 45° W. & mile from it, on the starboard, thus narrowing the cha to mile. When Hainan Point extreme bears N. 65° W., the sand bank N. 55° E., and Pochin Pagoda, just seen over the his land* on Hainan Head, and bearing S. 63 W., a course of N. 53° W. (allowing for a very strong tide) should be shaped so as to pass about 2 cables off a rock lying N. E. mile from Hainan Point, which covers at half tide; after rounding which, and when Pochin Pagoda is again sighted clear of the rocks off Hainan Bluff bearing S. 44° W., a course of Wert will lead to the Southern end of Little Bank towards Backsha Point.

　　Caution. This " Inner Passage" should never be used by any vessel, unless it is properly buoyed or she has ? native pilot on board, as the tides are very strong and erratic..

The following information relating to Pulo Condore, Malludu Bay, Bal?bac strait, the coast of Cochin China, and to Tong King gulf, has been recently received.

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 1° 30′ Easterly in 1880.]

PULO CONDORE GROUP.*

　　　Great or East Bay. In the south part of the passage between the northern point of Great Bay and Haon Bai Kan lies a pinnacle rock with 17 feet water over it, and 7 to 9 fathoms close to; from this rock the peak in the centre of Haon Teha bears S.W. 3 S., and Haon Lap S.E. by E. E.t

NORTH-WEST COAST OF BORNEO.:

　　　Malludu Bay.-H.M.S. Kestrel in 1879 anchored about 2 miles W. by N. from the north entrance point of Binkoka river, east side of Malludu Bay, in 5 fathoms water (lat. 6° 52′ N. approximate), with Little Moleangan island bearing N. W., and the extreme of the land north-west of First point, the west entrance point of Malludu Bay, N.W. by W.

　　　The land northward of Binkoka river recedes about a mile, and forms a shallow bay 3 miles wide, the north poi of which is composed of red cliffs about 20 feet high, with foul ground extending nearly half a mile from it; the coast southward of the river is low with high trees.

　　　The channel leading into Binkoka river lies on the south side of a spit which dries, and extends 11?2 miles in a W.S.W. direction from tlie north entrance point of the river; this channel has a depth of 6 feet in the entrance, increasing to 15 and 18 feet about a mile within.

There is a village on the right bank of Binkoka river, about one mile inside the entrance.§

BAL?BAC STRAIT.

Mallawall? channel.-Banguey peak, in line with the west extreme of West island, bearing N.W. N., leads between a rock lying in the fairway, south part of Malawall? channel, and a shoa) (which can be easily seen) situated S.S.E. E. 24 miles from the southernmost point of Malawall? island.§

Kestrel Rock.-The Kestrel passed over a shoal with 5 fathoms water, in the east entrance to Main charp! (Balabac strait); from the patch Banguey peak bears S.W. by W. W., and the left extreme of South Mangsee islami N.W. by W. 2 W.§

COAST OF COCHIN CHINA.T

　　　Nha-Trang Bay.-In the channel between the two coral banks, north entrance to Nha-trang Bay, there is a depth of 16 feet, where 17 fathoms was formerly shown on the chart.**

QUIN-HON HARBOUR.-Tidal signals, similar to those in use for the French commercial harbours, have been established at Quin-hon harbour. The signals are shown from a flag-staff on the east entrance point, and indicate the state of tide and depth of water on the bar to vessels approaching this harbour.tt

　　　The sand bank on the west side of the entrance to Quin-hon harbour, which was formerly uncovered and steep-to, has extended a quarter of a cable to the eastward, and a small part only is visible.**

　　　River Ku?.-The channel leading into port Thuan-au, river Ku? entrance, changes, and is generally marked by bamboos. The anchorage is near the Western fort at Thuan-au; in the eastern part of this port the depths decreas suddenly from 33 fathoms to 9 and 6 feet.**

The 150,000 two-year-old trees now in the nurseries will be nearly all planted during the next two months; 60,000 trees have already been planted this year, and sites sown on the hills, where the seedlings will remain, for 60,000 more, which will make a total for this year's work of 270,000 trees, covering an area of 245 acres.

3. In addition to Pinus sinensis, which has hitherto been chiefly used for the endowment of the hills with forest vegetation, seeds of several of the indigenous trees of other kinds, such as the Oaks, Tallow-tree, &c., several species of Eucalypti, and other Australian trees, and the Japanese Pinus Massoniana, have been sown in the nurseries, so as to afford more variety to the future plantations, probably many kinds of trees not yet used may be found to succeed, and render the plantations more valuable and beautiful in years to come.

REPORT BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GARDENS AND PLANTATIONS ON

AFFORESTATION IN HONGKONG.

613

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14? AUGUST, 1880.

4. If the experiment which is being tried of sowing the seeds in situ proves successful, which it camises well to do, the cost of afforestation of the Island will be much reduced and the operations eatly accelerated, as I estimate that with the like sum of $7,680 which was granted for each of the two years, we shall be able to sow in situ seeds to cover 600 acres with trees, that is, about four five times as large an area as could be accomplished by rearing trees in nurseries and transplanting. 5. The work of afforestation can, no doubt, be greatly advanced by the co-operation of Chinese, sino would, if suitable encouragement be offered by the Government, undertake to plant large areas the return of being allowed to use the thinnings of the trees under certain regulations, for a certain mber of years, say 15, when the plantations might revert to the Government, or be leased for an conded period, under such a regulation, or modification of it, as clause No. 28 of the Mauritius inance No. 12 of 1872. Three or four of the small market gardeners at Kowloon have expressed emselves willing to plant 100,000 trees next year under such an arrangement as the above, and one the chief contractors in Hongkong says that he would like to plant trees if the benefit could be eured to him for 50 years.

6. Accompanying this paper are some photographs, representing portions of the work which has and is being done in tree-planting.

　　　　　　7. Nos. 1 and 2 represent two of the nurseries. No. 1 is the nursery on the Kowloon peninsula, and shows in the foreground this year's seedling trees just above ground. In the back ground of this

, the dark patches represent two-year-old trees, most of which will be planted out this year.

8. No. 2 is a photograph of a portion of the nursery in the Sookunp? valley, and shows the way which uneven and sloping ground is dealt with so as to admit of irrigation.

9. Nos. 3 4 and 5 are plantations, No. 3 being the northern spur of Mt. Gough, the sky line of which was planted this year with bamboos and "banian" at the lower portion; Oaks, Quercus Har- li and Q. salieins in the middle, and four-year-old trees, about 6 feet high, of Pinus sinensis at top. Trees ! feet high of the latter have been successfully planted on the hills this season.

10. No. 4 represents an avenue with Bamboos, Casurarinas, Pinus, &c., in the Bowrington planta- n, which were planted five years ago. The hill behind the forester's cottage is clothed with Pine trees about 40 feet high.

11. Photo No. 5 shows plantations made on the sides of the road leading from the city to Victoria Peak; they were planted in 1875 and 1877. The light-coloured patch on the right hand side is ther tree nursery. In the centre is the Guinea-grass (Panicurn maximum) farm surrounding the farmer's house and out-buildings.

　　　　　　12. No. 6 is a portion of the indigenous vegetation of the Little Hongkong woods. The trees consist of Oaks, Schina Noronhac, Ternstroemia japonica, Bischoffia javanica, Artocarpus hypargyrea, Ilococarpus chinensis, Gordonia anomala, &c.

13. Pinus Sinensis, when established, grows about 2 to 3 fect a year in height.

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 of 30th August to 6 A.M. of 31st August has been taken as a sample.

　　2. I enclose a Comparative Return of same period for three years for the Central District. ? 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 i 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 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 char of two beats..

W. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Polus

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

I have read these papers carefully, but would be glad to see the Comparative Returns from th other Districts made in a similar form to the Returns of the Central District.

J. POPE HENNESSY.

Governor. 9th September, 1878

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

　　　1. I return the Police Books-Volumes eleven and twelve, showing the duties for 1876 auj 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 ar 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 been 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, ani that in such cases he has to order one man to take charge of two beats.

5. Let the night beats and patrols in the Victoria District be at once restored to the maximut.. strength of 1876; and let the Captain Superintendent prepare for my consideration a revised scheu 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.

J. POPE HENNESSY, Governor. 27th September, 1875.

Extract from Report of Committee of the Legislative COUNCIL (1878-79)

ON POLICE AND CRIME.

　　　6. "The Committee are strongly of opinion that under the existing system the City of Victor.. "especially in the Central District, is insufficiently policed during the night time, i.e., from 10 P.M. "6 A.M.; and that in lieu of its present distribution, two-thirds of the force ought to be on duty durin "those hours.

7. “Two objections have been urged against this disposition of the Police by Mr. DEANE, whic "he has carefully summarised in a memo. laid by him before the Committee. (Appendix, Docume "I. p. vi.). In the first place, he thinks that the circumstances of the town render it 'expedient t maintain a large proportion of men on day duty, and consequently a lesser one on night duty that "obtains in England,' and he supports this view with arguments worthy of attentive consideratio:

....

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH AUGUST, 1880.

6.15

The Committee, however, cannot agree with him that the Police requirements of the city, important they doubtless are, differ essentially from those of towns where the two-thirds rule prevails; nor hat the circumstances of the place are such as to override the proved and imperative necessity of uarding life and property in the most effectual manner possible during the hours when they most ced protection. More than this, they think that the specialities of European life within the tropics, where, during many months of the year, dwelling houses are easily accessible, and the peculiarly limsy nature of the fastenings to the entrances to Chinese residences, stores and shops, afford strong arguments in favour of vigilance by night even in excess of that which prevails in England.

　　　　　　8. "In the second place, Mr. DEANE holds that the system of undivided eight-hour beats, which would be entailed on the Indian and Chinese portious of the force by the two-thirds rule, is more than the men could stand. (Appendix, Document I, p. vi. and pp. 7, 25 and 27). This is rertainly a consideration to be not lightly disregarded, especially as the evidence before the Committee is to a great extent in favour of Mr. DEANE's views.

{

9. "Inspector CRADOCK thought that eight-hour beats at a time would be a very hard duty.' They' (the Chinese) did eight hours at one time, and there were a great many cases in the hos- pital.

(p. 67). Mr. CREAGH would have two-thirds on at night if it could be managed,' but he ried it with the Sikhs for a short time, and it was working the men very hard. 'It was found too much.' (p. 46.) But on the other hand, Mr. CREAGH thinks the men 'could stand it,' although they would not like it. They do it in India,' but not during the whole summer, and Mr. CREAGH never knew such duty affect any one's health. (p. 47). Inspector GRIMES thought that Chinese and Sikhs could do eight hours' duty 'without material injury to their health,' but in the summer nights it would be hard on them having to carry a rifle.' (p. 75)

10. "The undoubted necessities of the position, however, are such that in spite of these opinions the Committee think that the plan proposed by them ought to receive a fair and impartial trial. Duties which are safely performed by Englishmen in their own climate could, they believe, be under- taken by Indians and Chinese under climatic conditions not unfavourable to their health and endurance; and as to the duties imposed on the men by attendances in Court and in other ways, mentioned by Mr. DEANE, they do not differ materially from those which Policemen in England have to perforin, nor ought they to be allowed to interfere with the primary objects of their employment. - Moreover, it is within the recollection of the Chairman (Hon. C. MAY) of the Committee, that for many years Constables, composed of materials inferior to those which are now obtained, did eight and even nine consecutive hours of beat duty in Hongkong without difficulty, or injury to their

· health."

GOVERNOR J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, BT., M.P.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 13th October, 1879.

SIR,----I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 80 of the 17th of July. 1879, on the various questions connected with the Police Force and the increase of crime in this Co- lony, dealt with by Mr. Mar's Committee.

　　　　　　　　2. In my despatch No. 26 of the 17th of March, 1879, I reported that I had taken the responsi- bility of instructing the Captain Superintendent of Police, Mr. DEANE, to place two-thirds of the force on night duty, as I thought the increase of crime of late years was, to a large extent, due to the insuffi- ciently guarded state of the Town at night.

.3. I instructed him to furnish from time to time reports on this important change in the distribu- tion of police work, and also to submit for my consideration. any suggestion he might desire to make with respect to it, or in regard to any additional strength to the force he might think essential.

4. On the 1st July, 1879, Mr. DEANE reported as follows :--

　　　　　　　"I have collected reports from the six Inspectors on duty in the City of Victoria, and their "opinions coincide with mine, viz. :--that having so many men on duty between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. “has had a decidedly beneficial effect in diminishing the amount of crime during those hours."

5. Chief Inspector HORSPOOL, writes:--

　　　　　　Being absent from the Colony from May 1878 to May 1879, I am unable to give an opinion as to the immediate' effect the change to the two-thirds principle had upon the crime of the Colony.

　　　　　　But having, as it were, served my police apprenticeship at home to the two-thirds system, had always looked to it as the best, and I am convinced it is even more necessary for the proper protection of life and property in this Colony than in England."

616

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH AUGUST, 1880.

Inspector GRAY says:---

　　　"With reference to your memorandum of the 24th instant respecting the regular duties of the "Police and the two-thirds principle, I have to report that so far as the night time is concerts "the two-thirds system works well. There has been a marked decrease in burglaries and larcenie. "from dwelling houses in the night time since it was adopted on the 19th of March, 1879."

Inspector LINDSAY says:

"The two-thirds system lately introduced, is in my opinion a better mode of regulating the nigh duties than that previously adopted. And it appears to me that crime has become greatly redund thereby."

Inspector CORCORAN says:—

　　　"In my opinion the two-thirds system has worked vell up to the present. Crimes committed "between the hours of 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. have greatly decreased since the working of the system.

Inspector CRADOCK "finds the present system works well.”

Inspector RIVERS says:—

　　"I beg to state that during the time the two-thirds system has been in force, there has only been one case of robbery between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. in this district.

　　　"The men at first seemed a little dissatisfied, but now they seem settled to the duties, and prefer "the new system to the old.

"I would like that two men be taken from the 10 P.M. duty and put on the 2 P.M., on account of the frequent disturbances with the Naval and Military, the Naval Club being in the district, and "Soldiers being on the streets till 9 P.M."

6. Most of the Inspectors, however, as well as Mr. DEANE, suggest that the force should be strengthened so as to have the day working better done and more rest given to the men. With this object, I am sanctioning a moderate addition to the Police Force, respecting which I will have the honour of addressing you in a separate despatch.

7. On my return from Japan in September, Mr. DEANE, in reply to an enquiry on the subject. informed me that the operation of the two-thirds night duty system continued to be effective in pre- venting crime.

8. Mr. CREAGH, the Acting Senior Police Magistrate, also attributes the improvement to the two- thirds night duty system.

EXTRACT FROM PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, 6TH NOVEMBER, 1879.

The GOVERNOR Said :-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 Commission- sitting upon the subject. I appointed a Committee, presided over by my lamented friend, Mr. May. to investigate the question of Police and crine in the Colony. I had previously taken the responsi bility, I think in August, or September, 1878, of giving instructions to Mr. DEANE, the Captain Superintendent, to strengthen the right 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, thay 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 arrange ments of the Colony. Well, that point has been considered carefully by the Secretary of State, ind he has conveyed to me the decision that he 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

ony

617

Police Force. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH also points out that Mr. Max's Committee called ntion to the fact that on one particular day in October, to which they referred, there were 106 ibers of the Police Force employed on what were called special duties, that is five or six at ernment House, a few employed taking care of the Courts of justice, and in different parts of the the Police were engaged in that way--ny Honourable friend Mr. TONNOCHY had twenty in Gaol-and in various ways 106 members of the force were diverted from what were really their per duties. Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH directs that these Policemen should be paid for by the erent departments that were using them. Accordingly, in preparing the Estimates, I have charged various departments with these Policemen who were formerly charged to the Police vote, and I uested Captain DEANE to state what increase in the force he would require, inasmuch as all the ney not so required would be struck off the Police vote. Mr. DEANE in his minute expresses his ys, and is content to have an increase of thirty-six men in the Police force. The sun which will charged to the various departments, amounts to $12,245. However, with certain reductions of ries-which you will see by the pay list--the net increase in the salaries of the Police force will $10,680, and there is a further expenditure for the present year of something over $11,000 in con- tion with steam launches for the Police.

ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 20th July, 1880.

　　　　　　　SIR, I have the honour to hand you reports from the Inspectors of the Police Districts on the orking of the new night duty system since the last reports were submitted in letter 293 of 18th ctober, 1879.

　　　　　　　2. I think there is no reason to doubt that the increased night service has had a good effect in eventing crime, and judging from the enclosed hospital returns for the last six years, the men engaged

it (Chinese and Indian Constables) do not seem to have suffered in health.

3. It is the unanimous opinion of the Inspectors that the beats are undermanned between 6 d 10 P.M., and as the 50 Indian recruits are now competent to take charge of beats, I recommend at the duties in Victoria be arranged as follows:-----

Available Strength.

this plan 25 extra men will be available from 6 to 10 P.M., and the night duty as fixed by C.S.O. → 1820 of 1879 will be strengthened by 24 men. This arrangement would be of course provisional, circumstances may arise which would render it necessary to change the relative strength of the

DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT'S OFfici. 5th July, 1880.

　　SIR,---In accordance with your order of the 1st instant calling for a further report on the rese duties of the Force and the two-thirds system, I have the honour to report that on the 8th of 1879, the two-thirds system was slightly modified in the Central District, the number of Indians ar Chinese for duty at night having been fixed at seventy-two. This arrangement allowed a few they men for day work, and it evidently worked well, for a stop was soon put to larcenies from the person, &

　　In December last the Force was strengthened by filling up the vacancies of men who were employ, by other Departments. This increase was so material, that when all the vacancies were filled up would allow not only sufficient men for the day, but for some more to be placed on night duty, an bring back the working almost to the same basis as the two-thirds system.

Since the two-thirds system, and its modification to suit the Central District, has been introduce the City of Victoria has been very free from night crimes, such as burglaries and larcenies free dwelling houses.

After 12 months' experience of the working of the Police duties on the two-thirds system, say that during the time the system has been in force, there has been almost an entire absence burglaries and larcenies from dwelling houses in the night time, on this district.

I would suggest that the day duty, from 6 to 10 P.M., on this district, should be strengthened b at the least, 2 men, that being the time that the Soldiers and Sailors are rather troublesome.

　　I am still of the opinion that there are insufficient men on day duty, especially from 6 to 1? * I find from reference to the Occurence Book, that nearly all larcenies from the person (reported)

committed between 6 and 10 P.M.

1. I can only repeat the words of my former report, dated the 18th October, 1879, with reference the working of the Force on the two-thirds system. I know of no other system that would put

Police Force on so sound a basis.

2. Since my last report, the Water Police have been supplied with two small Steam Launches, d they are used almost entirely for patrol duty in the Harbour, from 9 P.M. to 5 A.M., and these little ats appears to be a terror to the marine thieves in the dead of night.

NOTE BY THE ACTING CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.

The Charles May was intended for this duty (see C. S. O. No. 2545 of 1877), but at present think there is no necessity to have her permanently manned with a large crew, which would dimi- sh the strength of the Harbour Police. Without disturbing the regular duties, I can arrange to send r three or four times a week to some of the outlying villages at uncertain hours of the day and night. he is now out under the command of Acting Chief Inspector GREY.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR LINDSAY.

C. V. CREAGH, Acting Capt. Supt. of Police.

CENTRAL POLICE STATION, 5th July, 1880.

SIR,-In accordance with your order of the 1st instant, I have the honour to report that as crime is greatly decreased during the past twelve months, I am of opinion that the present system is the est mode of regulating the night duties. I cannot suggest any change further than that contained in he last paragraph of my report of 27th June 1879, as it appears to me that the Police is now well ble to cope with the criminal class in this Colony.

Acting Captain Superintendent of Police.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR BREMNER.

CENTRAL POLICE STATION, 5th July, 1880.

　　　　　　SIR-1 beg to forward the following report in reference to Police duties in the Central District, r the information of His Excellency the Governor.

1st. The seventy two Indian and Chinese Constables, with the addition of the European Consta- les, who are on duty between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M., are, I think, quite sufficient for the district, and em to work well.

　　　　　　2nd. The only alteration on the present system which I beg to offer an opinion on is, that the ties between 6 and 10 P.M., might be strengthened.

3rd. I think that the number of men on duty from 6 A.M. to 6 P.M. are quite sufficient for the istrict during the day time.

the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police.

I have, &c..

D. BREMNER, Inspector of Police.

Extract from REPORT BY Mr. HORSFOOL, THE ACTING DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.

With reference to the continued working of the 3rds night duty system, I have the honour to port that since its introduction serious night crimes have very materially decreased and are gradually vcreasing.

The following Circular Despatches are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th August, 1880.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secrctery

DOWNING STREET.

28th May, 18

　　SIR,-My Predecessor duly received and communicated to the Secretary of State for Forei Affairs, the replies which he received from the Colonies to the Earl of CARNARVON's Circular Despate of the 30th of May, 1877, respecting the discontinuance as between this country and France of the system of repatriating pauper lunatics, and the possibility of extending a similar arrangement to the Colonies.

Very

　　I have now the honour to inform you that, after much careful consideration of the matter, He Majesty's Government regret that they have not found themselves able, in consequence of the conflicting views which have been expressed upon the subject by the various Colonial Governments, i decide upon any system which they would feel satisfied to recommend for general adoption, and in the absence of any such general arrangement, they can only suggest that each case should, as heretofor be dealt with as it arises, and upon its merits, and in accordance with such principles as may seem most suited to the circumstances of the Colony under your Government.

　　I may add, for the information of your Government, that a system exists in the Dominion of Canada, under legislative authority, of requiring the master of a vessel who may land a pauper lunati to enter into a bond of indemnity against such a person becoming a charge upon public funds.

I have the honour to be,

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

KIMBERLEY.

DOWNING STREET,

2nd June, 18!!

　　SIR,--I have the honour to inform you, with reference to the Earl of CARNARVON'S Circular D spatch of the 19th of February, 1875, that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have fou themselves obliged to reduce from seven to four, the number of nominations to Naval Cadetships place! annually at the disposal of the Secretary of State for the Colonies.

　　2. I am informed by the Lords Commissioners that when the seven nominations were first offere to the Colonies the total annual number of Cadets entered for the Navy was over 180, and that eve last year there were as many as 83 entries, but in order to prevent the Lists of Sub-Lieutenants a Lieutenants from exceeding the number required by the service, their Lordships have now b compelled to limit the future entry to 55 Cadets annually.

　　3. As a part of the arrangements necessary to effect this reduction, it has been decided to depre Naval Officers of most of the privileges hitherto awarded them, and it has become necessary to diminis the number of nominations given to the Colonies, but if the total number of Cadets should again - increased, I should hope to obtain the proportion of nominations allotted to the Colonies increased al-

　　4. I have to add that, as the number of nominations at my disposal will be so much reduced, yo should be extremely careful to warn the friends of any candidate you may recommend that you application is necessarily made without any assurance that the Secretary of State will be able to effect to your recommendation.

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

KIMBERLEY.

　　　SIR,-I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of Your Honour's letter of the 6th instant remarking upon the duties of the Registrar and other Officers of the Supreme Court, and I am to inform you that His Excellency has given these remarks all the attention that they merit.

　　　His Excellency fully admits that it is the duty of the Chief Justice to regulate the duties of the several Officers of the Supreme Court, and to distribute the work among them as may be from time to time necessary, and it was therefore a matter of surprise to him to hear that these duties had been delegated to the late Mr. ALEXANDER; yet this notwithstanding. His Excellency fails to see that Your Honour has thereby divested yourself of the powers pertaining to the Office of Chief Justice. and he therefore deems it inexpedient that the Executive should take the initiative in framing new rules for the conduct of business in the Supreme Court, when Ordinances are in existence which, in His Excellency's opinion, empower the Chief Justice to frame general rules and orders regulating the practice and procedure of the Supreme Court generally; for the Executive to do this would be to interfere with the Judge's prerogative and discretionary powers in a matter for which he alone is responsible.

　　　It is clearly, for instance, within the province of the Chief Justice to ascertain precisely what the duties of the Officers have been, and if Your Honour concurs in the opinion which you state was once. entertained, that the Office of Deputy Registrar should be abolished, His Excellency will be most happy to take into consideration the arguments which you may advance with that object in view.

Further than this, however, His Excellency cannot go, and the powers of the Chief Justice being. in his opinion, adequate to take the initiative in any scheme of reform which that Officer may think desirable for the better conduct of the business of the Court, it follows that His Excellency is not prepared to endorse Your Honour's suggestion as to the appointment of a Commission. Such an appointment, he thinks, would be unnecessary and likely to divide or neutralise the responsibility at present clearly defined.

Apart, too, from this consideration, the performance of the duties which Your Honour suggests should be performed by the Commission, appear to be either already provided for or already in course of completion.

For in the first place, with regard to the information proposed to be obtained by the Commission. unless His Excellency is in error the investigation of the duties of each Officer of the Supreme Court. the enquiry into the books and accounts which he has to keep, the mode in which they are to be auditel. together with the regulation of the hours of attendance, are purely departmental details falling within the cognisance of the Chief Justice, while as to the salaries drawn by the different officers, the other situations that they hold, and the time that they devote to their several duties, all this is already on record and can be ascertained without the intervention of a Commission.

In the second place, I have already stated that, in His Excellency's opinion, it is for the Chic Justice to make alterations and a rearrangement of duties; and lastly, the matters of emoluments, fos savings and a proper interpretorial staff, are already under the consideration of the Secretary of State. His Excellency, therefore, fails to see the necessity for the appointment of a Commission or the propriety of himself initiating a scheme of reform. At the same time, His Excellency hopes that upei Your Honour becoming acquainted with his views as stated in this letter, you will not hesitate to proffer any suggestion which Your Honour's long and valuable experience might find it advisable to make for the better conduct of the business of the Supreme Court; such suggestions will meet with the careful consideration that will be due to them, and His Excellency will be very happy to find that he can facilitate in any way Your Honour's wishes to improve the efficiency and economical admini-- tration of the Supreme Court of this Colony.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,

SIR, I am desired by His Excellency the Governor to inform you that, pending the consideration of the Report of the Commission on certain Offices of the Supreme Court, which, together with the minutes of evidence, has just been laid before him, His Excellency would be glad if Your Honour would give immediate instructions to the Registrar to stop the practice which the Commissioners in paragraphs 8 and 9 of this Report thus refer to:--

It appears to have been the practice for the Registrar for the time being to appropriate to his "own use the interest paid by the Banks on money under the charge of the Registrar in current "account. This interest does not appear in any way to have passed through the books of the Supreme Court. The present Registrar has followed the rule in this respect adopted by his predecessors in

office."

　　　　　　As to the money hitherto appropriated by Mr. PLUNKET under the precedent he found established in the office, His Excellency understands that that gentleman is quite willing to refund it. His Excellency would be glad if this were done, and the sum, whatever it may be, together with the interest in future, paid into the Colonial Treasury under the provisional heading "Deposits Unavail-

Interest on Funds in Court," until His Excellency can consider the whole subject more fully.

SUPREME COURT House,

HONGKONG, 27th May, 1879.

　　　　SIR-We have conferred together on the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into rtain offices of the Supreme Court.

All the thirteen Recommendations of the Commissioners are most valuable, and we trust that they will all ultimately be adopted by His Excellency as far as practicable, having regard to existing rights. It will require time, however, and much and serious consideration to work out a definite scheme prepare a satisfactory body of Rules and Regulations for bringing the proposed changes into tual operation.

Legislation, too, will be required.

Meanwhile, the present exigencies of the Court should, we submit, be at once provided for by some tive and provisional appointments and regulations, and we have now the honour to submit certain posals with that view.

　　If these proposals are adopted, they will, we believe, not only provide for the immediate wants of Court, but will afford, what in itself we think very desirable, an opportunity of bringing the re- mendations of the Commissioners to the test of practical experience and of working them tentatively experimentally before they are developed into a system and permanently adopted.

644

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH AUGUST, 1880,

The first want, in the estimation of the Commissioners (see 3rd Recommendation), is the appoint ment of an Accountant, who should, as such, relieve the Registrar of all matters which involve accounts or purely administrative management of property. The appointment of such an officer and the handin.. over to him of the work suested by the Commissioners, would at once relieve the Registrar of halt. or probably more than half, of his present duties.

　　　We think that the entire responsibility for the accounts of the Court, and for the receipt and pay- ment of money, should rest on the Accountant so appointed.

　　　　We ask that Mr. BARFF be at once relieved of all duties as Deputy Registrar, which he does not at all understand, and that he should be provisionally appointed Accountant, and have appropriate ! to him all the duties now assigned to the Registrar which involve the keeping of accounts and the business management of property. He should have for this purpose all the powers of the Registrar, but should be entirely under the supervision of the Registrar, who, once a week, at least, should examine and check Mr. BARFF'S accounts.

　　　　We ask that once a month the Auditor General "should personally," and not by any subordinate officer (see Report, p. 9), audit the accounts in the most searching manner and pass and sign them.

　　　　The Commissioners appear to think that no money should be actually received or paid at the office. All fees can well be paid by stamps according to the 12th Recommendation. Monies received and paid in the original Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, being very rarely small amounts, may well be provided for by cheques, receipt papers and counterfoils, but there may possibly be difficulty in carrying out the system in its entirety in respect of the small sums paid into and out of the Court in its Summary Jurisdiction.

　　　　We, however, understand that the Commissioners and the Colonial Secretary can, both, devise practicable schemes for carrying out the proposed plan in its entirety, which we should be glad to ser successful.

　　　　We think that the Accountant temporarily appointed should, under the direction of the Auditor General, at once inaugurate this system. If this were done, the ability of the temporarily appointe officer would, as to this department of his duties, be at once tested.

　　　　But the most serious want of the Court and of the Judges is, that two Deputy Registrars, accord- ing to the 8th Recommendation of the Commissioners, should be appointed without any delay. Of course, we ask only for provisional and temporary appointments in the first instance.

　　　　It now occasionally happens that Mr. PLUNKET and Mr. BARFF are both absent at the same time. and that, when two Courts are sitting. The result is, that neither Court can continue to sit in the absence of a Registrar, who is necessarily an integral part of the Court to such an extent that he alone is by the Code authorized to record the Decree of the Court. His Minute is made by the Code. Section XLVII, §5, the Decree.

　　　　Mr. BARFF has no legal training, and he can give the Court no aid. On the contrary, he falls into errors in recording the decisions of the Court, errors which, by the Code, are irremediable except by the expensive process of a rehearing.

　　　　No person entirely fitted to be Deputy Registrar is to be procured. Judges have not the in- formation required. They rely on officers trained to the knowledge. How entirely Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD relied on the officers of the Court, appears from a passage in R. v. Jo?N WILKS, Esquire. 4 Barrow's Reports, 25-66, which we have extracted and annex.

ANNEX.

"Matters of Practice are not to be known from Books. What passes at a Judge's Chambers is matter of Tradition: It rests in memory. In cases of this kind Judges must inquire of their officers. "This is done in Court every day when the Practice is disputed or doubted. It is, in its nature, officia!. "The officers are better acquainted with it than the Judges. For his own part, neither his education "not his Walk in life before he came into this Court, ever led him into any knowledge of the Practice “of orders made by Judges in the vacation. The making this order for the amendment appeared to him "to be right, and to be a matter of course. It came to him as a matter of course and recommended as "such from a gentleman of great experience, who (he knew) would as soon have cut off his right han! "as have deceived him by representing this as a thing of course, when it was not so. Accordingly he

issued as Summons," &c.

　　　　And if that grand Judge so entirely needed the aid of officers of great experience, he being con fined to one branch of the law, how much more needful must such aid be to Judges in this Colony; who want trained assistance, not only in Common Law but in Equity, in Bankruptcy, in Probate ani in Admiralty and other branches. The less the learning and ability of the Judges and the wide their functions, the more do they stand in need of the precise technical knowledge and of the assistan of good Registrars. We could enlarge on the anxieties of the Judges, which have certainly b doubled by the chaotic state of the Registry since recent appointments and changes, but it is sti cient to call attention to what the Commissioners said to the Chief Justice (see page 65), and which equally applies to all Judges: "You ought not be harassed" about such matters.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH AUGUST, 1880.

645

This long preface introduces what we respectfully ask to be forthwith done, to be avowedly ten- ative and provisional only, and to be entirely in the power of His Excellency to put an end to or vary at any moment.

We ask :--

1st. That Mr. PLUNKET be continued as Acting Magistrate (an office he appears to fill well), but that he hand over all accounts and the management of all property (portions of his duty in which he tails) to Mr. BARFF, retaining all quasi-judicial work, references from the Court, &c., &c., which (we informed) he does well, and that he retain the general supervision of the Registry and its officers. 2nd. That Mr. SANGSTER and Mr. Mossor be both appointed Deputy Registrars, each retaining his present offices. This would secure the presence of a Registrar in each Court always, so that the frequent absences of Mr. PLUNKET and Mr. BARFF would not affect the Court.

are

Mr. SANGSTER and Mr. Mossor have now between then more of that special and traditional knowledge and experience, the possession of which Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD SO emphatically referred to, than any other two men obtainable. Each has special qualities of his own.

Both are apt

and honourable, and, if put on their metal, would rapidly improve.

The 8th Recommendation of the Commissioners would thus be carried out.

　　　　　　3rdly. We ask Ilis Excellency to relieve Mr. BARFF from all Court duties, and to assign to him the accounts in all departments of the Court, and the administration or business management of all property in the Court, with such directions and under such regulations as may be decided on.

If His Excellency should see fit to make arrangements of the kind here suggested, it being quite understood that they are temporary and provisional and of an experimental character, we are satisfied that such order might soon be attained in the Registry of the Supreme Court as would materially assist the Judges, and in the best possible way, and would secure entire protection to the large sums of money and to the important interests under the guardianship of the Court.

We do not suggest any alteration in Mr. BARFF's income, but we would respectfully ask that some additions should be made to the salaries of Messrs. SANGSTER and MOSSOP during the progress of the experiment we ask for. As to relative rank, we consider them both equally meritorious, but as one must stand before the other, His Excellency will, after considering their qualifications and testi- monials, be in the best position to determine which should have precedency.

In conclusion, we earnestly request His Excellency to give to our suggestions and requests the earliest possible attention. The necessity for a speedy change in the arrangements of the Registry is very great.

JUDGES, SUPREme Court.

COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 28th May, 1879.

GENTLEMEN,---I am directed by the Governor to inform you that after taking carefully into con- sideration your letter of 27th instant, he has decided, upon your strong recommendation,

1. To direct that Mr. BARFF be relieved entirely from all Court duties, and that he should pro- visionally be appointed to act as Accountant to the Court and be specially charged with the different duties suggested by the Commissioners in paragraphs 3. 4 and 5 of their report. Mr. BARFF will, therefore, relieve Mr. PLUNKET of part of his duties. He will continue to draw the same salary as at

? present.

　　　　　　2. To appoint Messrs. SANGTER and Mossop to be provisionally Deputy Registrars of the Court. each retaining his present office, His Excellency has been pleased to direct that the available half Pay of the Deputy Registrar, viz., $90 a month, be allotted as follows: $40 to Mr. SANGSTER and $50

Mr. Mossop. This will bring their pay up to $200 and $179 relatively.

　　　　　　His Excellency considers that the Chinese Shroff should, if possible, be relieved of all duties in Court, and be employed under the Acting Accountant in receiving and paying monies.

The Governor thinks also that monies received by the Court should be paid into the Bank to fiovernment account, and not to the credit of the Accountant, and that payments out of Court should emade by orders signed by some competent officer or the Colonial Treasurer. I am directed to invite you to consider whether this system might not conveniently be introduced.

I have, &c.,

(Signed) W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

P.S.--I am to add that the whole of the accounts of the Supreme Court from the commencement the present year will be audited, and that in future a monthly audit of these accounts will be made.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH AUGUST, 1889.

EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, 29th May, 1879

　　　HIS EXCELLENCY.--I also felt it necessary to inquire into another subject, namely, the practic 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 S tember, 1878, and I am happy to say that the Commissioners who were good enough to investigat that important subject have taken very great pains with their work. Owing to the illness of th 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 Justic 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 balances of estates had disappeared; that in several estates there had been overcharg of commission; that in one estate, under the charge of Mr. IIUFFAM'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 such 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 incident 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 th courtesy of the Chief Justice the Commission were able to peruse some long and valuable letter- written by His Honour at different times, and these letters are printed in the appendix. The Coni. 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 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.--Hi 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 Pusine Judge, that Mr. BARFF be relieved from all Court duties, and that he should be provisionally appointed to act as Accountant, and that he shoul be in charge of the duties mentioned by the Commissioners in paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, 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 account- 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 reques! 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, ani 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, kept no copy, and wrote my own letters to the successive Governors. The Commissioners have state! that they entirely agree with my propositions, excepting some small minuti?. 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 power in that office. There is no officer in that office who has to look to me for promotion ? 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 n connected with the detail of that office. Years before the late catastrophe, I had given expression! my views, that unless something was done there would always be the risk of a catastrophe, bu certainly no one expected the catastrophe which occurred. With regard to Mr. ALEXANDER himsel I certainly did not very much admire him as a public officer; he was a great deal too indepenler: 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

647

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH AUGUST, 1880.

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 lose the situation within six months certain. I am not an accountant; it is no part of my education to be an accountant. Judge, it has been said, is not called on 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 interest 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.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, BT., M.P., SECRETARY FOR THE COLONIES, TO GOVERNOR J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

HONGKONG. No. 141.

Downing STREET,

30th October, 1879.

　　　　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 72 of the 30th May forwarding the report of the Coinmission on the offices of the Supreme Court.

　　　　　2. I request that you will convey my thanks to Messrs. JACKSON and WOTTON, the Commissioners who have signed this practical and valuable report, for the labour they have bestowed upon the subject, and for the assistance which they have thereby afforded me.

3. I concur in the general principle of their recommendations, on most of which I do not consider it to be necessary to make any remarks; but there are various matters supplementary to their report upon which I have to request that I may receive detailed information. For instance, I am unable to gather from your despatch and enclosures, the actual amount of the salaries now drawn by Mr. Barff, Mr. SANGSTER and Mr. Mossop, or the number of officials who would form the Staff of the Court.

　　　　　　　4. I should have been glad to have received from you some report on the probable financial results of carrying out the recommendations of the Commission, and while conveying my sanction for the continuance of the provisional scheme which you have adopted, until I am in a position to form a definite opinion upon the whole question, I request that I may without delay be informed of its cost, as indicated by a comparative statement showing the numbers and emoluments of the officers of the Supreme Court under the former system, and under the organization proposed by the Commissioners, including all ushers, bailiffs, and other minor officials.

5. The recommendations of the Commission on this head were doubtless framed under the im- pression that Mr. PLUNKET would continue to hold the office of Registrar.

　　　　　　　He has, however, been transferred to the Magistracy, and it is my intention to select for the post an English Solicitor with a good professional knowledge of bankruptcy and mercantile business and acquainted with book-keeping, or some gentleman possessing similar qualifications.

　　　　　　　6. It appears to me that with a competent head to the office so qualified, it will not be necessary to have so large a staff of superior officers as that suggested, viz.:-a Registrar, Accountant, and two Deputy Registrars; and I propose that the Staff should only consist of the Registrar and two Deputy Registrars, one of whom should make the accounts of the Court and the Bankruptcy and intestacy valuations and similar matters his special business, though he should be ready to take up such other duties as he may be called upon to perform; while the second should be in lieu of the present Clerk of the Court. The functions of Registrar of Companies would be discharged by the Registrar without special pay and as part of his ordinary work. The duties hitherto performed by the Appraiser would be discharged by one of the Deputy Registrars, the fees going to the Treasury, and this work being taken into consideration in fixing the salaries of these officers.

7. It has been suggested that if the Staff were increased to Registrar, Accountant and two Deputy Registrars, the duties of the Sheriff might form part of the work of the Registry, and this plan would, no doubt, have the advantage of concentration; but I do not feel able to sanction the increased expense which it would entail, for I cannot think that the work of the Department is such as to find constant occupation for these four principal officers.

648

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH AUGUST, 1880.

The Sheriff's office would therefore continue, as at present, a small appointment, held by som other officer of the service; but it should be part of his duty to supervise the bailiff and other officers in the execution of the process of the Court, and if the labour of the officer should prove to be much increased by distresses for rent being placed under his charge, it may hereafter be necessary to con sider whether some small addition should be made to the salary.

3. Mr. SNOWDEN has suggested in a letter, of which I transmit a copy for your consideration, the the Staff might be further strengthened, by utilizing the Puisne Judge's Clerk for Court work on the Summary side, and I am disposed to approve, but it seems to me that an increase of ?100 a year

would be sufficient.

9. I shall be glad to be favoured with any observations which may occur to you upon the redis. tribution I propose, including the addition of a third column to the comparative statement I have asked for, showing the cost of carrying it out.

I trust at an early period to be able to inform you that I have selected a fully qualified gentleman for the post of Registrar.

10. I shall be glad to be informed what steps are being taken to carry out the first of the Com. missioners' recommendations both as to the rules and orders referred to, and as to the security to be given by officers of the Court, and I should wish you to specify what amount of security it is proposed to require from each of the respective officers.

11. As regards the framing of rules under Ordinance No. 13 of 1873, I observe that the Ordinance itself purports to prescribe all that is necessary for the conduct of causes before the Court, and suspends all unwritten rules of practice and all existing rules and orders, except so far as the Code of Procedure makes no provision, in which case the old rules may be called into aid.

New rules would therefore seem only to be required for those points for which experience has shewn that the Code has not made special provision, and in respect to these points, I prefer to think that experience has not shewn the existence of deficiencies, rather than that the Chief Justice has neglected to remedy defects which have actually been brought to his notice.

12. It will be necessary in dealing with the re-organisation of the Court officers, for you to consider the question of space afforded by the Supreme Court Buildings, which, as you will see, Mr. SNOWDEN informs me are now in part occupied by the Attorney General, the Crown Solicitor and the Registrar General, while the Sheriff has no office and there is no accommodation for Witnesses and Jurors. I understand, however, that the Crown Solicitor occupies sufficient space for the discharge of a large private practice, which is carried on by himself, his partners and their private clerks.

Should this be so, it is evident that the requirements of the public service must first be attended to, and that some relief may be found at once by the resumption, for the use of the Government, of some considerable portion of this space.

　　13. I shall await your reply to this Despatch with much interest, and I request to be furnished at your earliest convenience with the information I desire.

This memorandum is intended to give you a general knowledge of what will be expected of you in the capacity of Registrar: it does not, however, purport to be complete, as it is known that there are certain functions connected with Bills of Sale and with the Jury Lists which you will be called upoa to discharge, and there may be other similar duties of which the Secretary of State has no information. I am to request you to state at your early convenience at what date you will be prepared to leave for the Colony, and what form of security you are prepared to offer.

MEMO. A SHORT SUMMARY, WITHOUT DETAILS, OF THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE.

A Registrar is wanted for the Supreme Court of Hongkong, which possesses two judges, and exercises (practically) all the jurisdictions which in England are discharged by the several divisions of the Supreme Court of Judicature, except the Admiralty Division.

Admiralty matters are dealt with by the Judges of the Supreme Court in the Vice-Admiralty Court, which is an Imperial not Colonial Tribunal, regulated by Imperial Statutes.

The Registrar, with his subordinates, discharges similar duties to those of the Registrars, Masters, including the Master of the Crown Office (Ordinance 2 of 1869), and chief clerks and other officials who form the staff of the English Courts, under the provisions of local Ordinances, of which the principal is a Code of Civil Procedure. He is also Registrar of Companies under the Joint Stock Companies Acts, which have been adopted in the Colony, but the labour is small. The Registrar is also Official Assignee in Bankruptcy, under an Ordinance (No. 5 of 1864) adopting the principle of the English Act of 1861 (but without having a Registrar in Bankruptcy as under that Act): part of his duty is to conduct the examinations in Bankruptcy.

　　　The Registrar is also Official Administrator of Intestate Estates (by Ordinance 9 of 1870), collecting and distributing the property in cases where administration is not taken out by any relative or creditor (Ordinance 8 of 1860).

　　　Criminal cases (Ordinance 3 of 1865) are tried upon informations found by the Attorney General and filed in the Office of the Registrar, who issues copies for service on the criminals with notice of trial, and who, by himself or his deputy, attends the monthly sittings, swearing the Juries and witnesses and recording the judgments.

The duties are multifarious, but the number of cases in each branch are limited; it will be seen, however, that the Registrar requires to possess a general knowledge of the practice of Courts, and of mercantile and commercial business, with a sufficient acquaintance with accounts and book-keeping, as he has to control and supervise the subordinates, as well as taking a share of every kind of work that comes into the Court. He is primarily the officer to attend all the sittings of the Court and record the proceedings, but his place, when necessary, is taken by the Deputy Registrar.

　　　The salary is Dollars 4,800, all fees going to the Colonial Treasury; he is required to give security to a substantial amount.

　　　Besides the foregoing, the Registrar is usually Registrar in Vice Admiralty-paid by the fees authorised by Order of Her Majesty in Council-and Official Trustee, an office of responsibility but small labour, also paid by fees. These two posts are, however, at present held by another officer and are not open for the new Registrar.

SIR, With reference to an item of $1000 inserted by me and approved by the Governor in the Draft Estimates for 1881 to defray the cost of rebuilding the Mortuary Chapel at the Protestant Cemetery, the Colonial Chaplain has enquired whether that work could not be conveniently set on and this year in lieu of waiting until next December, as there is considerable inconvenience in onducting funeral Services in the open air. I have therefore the honour to ask whether His Excellency Tould be disposed to allow of a supplementary vote of $1,000 in the current year's Estimates, to nable the work to be proceeded with next month.

　　　　　　　　The usual item of late years in the annual Estimates, of $1,000 for the maintenance of the Prot- estant Cemetery, I have, at Mr. PRICE's request, doubled in the Estimates that I recently submitted to the Executive Council for the year 1881, on the ground that $1,000 additional would be required to rebuild the Mortuary Chapel.

　　　　　　　As it now appears from the Surveyor General's letter of to-day's date, that the Colonial Chaplain would prefer to have this work taken in hand at once, let it be done; and let a Supplementary Esti- mate for the current year be prepared. A corresponding reduction can be made in the Estimates for 1881 when the Legislative Council are dealing with the votes next week in Committee.

London, June, 8, 1880.

M. le Comte,

The Government of the French Republic is ready to open negotiations with Her Majesty's fovernment for the renewal of the Treaties of 1860) as soon as the moment appears fitting and on the following bases:----

1. Inquiry

as to a class of wines to pay on their entry into England a lower rate of duty. 2. Maintenance of the duties prescribed by the General Tariff for cattle and agricultural produce ported into France, which would consequently not appear in the Treaty.

660

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28?? AUGUST, 1880.

3. Inquiry into the means of suppressing frauds on the Customs.

4. Amelioration of the status quo with a view to develop commercial relations.

These bases are general enough to reserve to the two Governments entire freedom of discussion with regard to the classification of goods and the fixing of duties.

The extension of commercial relations by a wider international exchange of the chief industria! products of the two countries, cannot fail to draw nearer the ties of friendship which so closely unite the two countries, and I am glad to think that this result will be attained by the renewal, on the bases above indicated, of the Treaties of 1860.

Accept, &c.

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of to-day's date indicating the bases upon which the French Government are prepared to open negotiations for the renewal of the Treaties of Commerce at present subsisting between the two countries as soon as a favourable oppor- tunity presents itself.

　　　　beg to inform your Excellency in reply that Her Majesty's Government have much pleasure in accepting the proposal which you have been instructed to make; and they consider that the points enumerated in your note will afford a satisfactory basis of negotiation.

　　　　With regard, however, to the fourth point, I think it right to inform your Excellency that an amelioration of the status quo intended to develop commercial relations between the two countries can only, in the opinion of Her Majesty's Government, be understood as meaning a reduction of duties on the principal products of English industry, though not necessarily a general reduction of duty on all such products.

　　　　Her Majesty's Government concur with your Excellency that there are other matters which can be treated in detail when formal negotiations are commenced.

I am, &c.

　　　　The Acting Colonial Treasurer, by direction of the Governor, lays on the table a Bill to authorize the appropriation of a Supplementary Sum of Fifty-one thousand Seven hundred and Seventy-seven Dollars and Ninety Cents to defray the charges of the Year 1879. The Bill is then read a first time.

The Governor moved for the first reading of the Appropriation Bill for the Year 1881, and in doing so, HIS EXCELLENCY made the following statement:—

　　　　Owing to the activity of my honourable friend Dr. STEWART, I am able to move the estimates for 1881 at a somewhat earlier period than usual. This, gentlemen, is the fourth occasion on which I have had the satisfaction of laying estimates before you. When I arrived in Hong- kong I had to consider carefully the state of the finances. At that time the revenue of the Colony which was laid before me in April, 1877, had reached $885,000. Included in that revenue was a considerable sum for land sales, and the first time that I had the honour of addressing you I pointed to the fact that the sales of Crown land ought not to be treated as ordinary revenue. The. sale of Crown land, especially in a small Colony like this, is actually selling a portion of our capital. What we should consider as land revenue is the increment of increase in the value of land with the progressive prosperity of the Colony. In the statement for 1876 laid before me by Mr. GARDINER AUSTIN there was a considerable sum put down as premia on land sales; if I mistake not, a larger sum than that obtained in the land sales of the Colony for the last three years. However that may be, my attention was more particularly drawn to the fact that whilst the revenue $885,000 the expenditure was $902,000; in other words, there was a deficit, and it became my duty to be extremely careful with respect to the finances of the Colony. You are, no doubt, aware that for the three years past, that is, 1877, 1878, and 1879, we have not had any deficits. On the contrary, I find that during these three years we have had a total surplus of $206,000 added to our balances from Colonial revenue, being an average on the three years of $68,000 a year. With respect to the past year, 1879, the audited accounts of the revenue and expenditure of the Colony for that year were printed in the Gazette in April last. You will perceive from these that the revenue was stated by the auditor to have amounted to $964,000 and the expenditure to $926,000, leaving a surplus in round figures of $37,000. Now the $926,800 of expenditure included a considerable outlay upon the Police Force, the increase being $10,830. I am sure no gentleman in the Council now regrets having voted the requisite sum to enable me to lay out upon the Police Force of the Colony that additional amount. I find also there is an increase of about $4,000 for educational purposes, and that also, I think, no one would be disposed to regret. I have also sanctioned an increase in 1879, over the preceding year, for fire brigade, of $2,800. The cause for that every one is familiar with. In the office of the Surveyor-General and his establishment I have sanctioned an increase of $1,648 in the year 1879; and I may say, having mentioned that, that the roads, streets, and bridges in this Colony have been kept in the year 1879 in most admirable order, and whatever public works have been undertaken, I think have been done to our satisfaction. But this brings me to an item which is present perhaps to the minds of some of my friends but which does

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4?# SEPTEMBER, 1880.

not appear upon these accounts.

673

Did the Surveyor-General do nothing in the year 1879 except to keep the roads, streets, and bridges and ordinary public works of the Colony in good order? He undertook, as you are aware, a new Lock Hospital, which we have found useful for general purposes; other minor works were undertaken, but during the year 1879 the Surveyor-General expended a con- siderable sum--it is not stated in this return, but it amounted to something over $150,000-on the repairs to the Praya wall. And in mentioning this I must not conceal from you the fact that there is difference of opinion as to the accuracy, as it were, of this return, that is, some maintain that this being a return of the expenditure of the Colony of Hongkong during the year ended 31st December, 1879, it ought not to contain the expenditure on the Praya wall, and it is argued that that expenditure is extraordinary expenditure, that it is special expenditure, and that therefore it ought not to appear in this return. I am bound to say that those who take that view of the case are very high authorities. To begin with, the Auditor-General, Mr. MARSH, who is now absent from the Colony, I assume he takes that view, for the figures do not appear in the returns as audited by him, and I am aware of the fact that other very competent authorities agree with that view, and it is supposed that that expenditure ought not to appear in this account, on the ground that in fact it is taken from one of our balances, and will in process of time be regained by that balance. Well, I have myself, I confess, taken the opposite view. It is simply a question of account, and it only comes to this, that in the statement I am making to you I should prefer that you would consider the actual fact, that though the expenditure of the Colony of Hongkong is returned here as only $926,867 in the year 1879, it amounts to $152,000 more that was actually expended on the Praya wall. And as a mere matter of business which concerns my own department, in dealing with our finances I take that view, for this reason, that I have to act in everything relating to finance under what are called the Treasury instructions to Governors. Those are instructions issued for the guidance of Governors in Crown Colonies, and they entail upon Governors certain duties of extreme importance with respect to checking, overlooking, and controlling expenditure. And in those instructions, as it seems to me to prevent the possibility of au extraordinary or special expenditure being treated in an extraordinary or special manner and not according to ordinary routine, there is a clause to the effect that from the date of those instructions no such words as "extraordinary expenditure" or special expenditure shall be used, and any expenditure whatever that is incurred from month to month must come before the Governor in proper requisitions, and being sanctioned by him can then be incurred. The result of it all is that I shall reprint this return in the Gazette, appending to it a note in which I shall state for the information of the Council and public generally the exact amount of expenditure in 1879 upon the Praya works, and the amount of money borrowed from our balance of the special fund, and when that is done honourable members will have before them, as it seems to me, the real expenditure of the Colony in the year 1879. Now, gentlemen, in moving the estimates in the month of August I am in a position to congratulate you on the fact that the returns furnished to me by my honourable friend the Acting Colonial Treasurer, Mr. TONNOCHY, show that our estimates of revenue for 1880 were sound estimates, and I may say, speaking generally, that our estimates of revenue have been exceeded. My honourable friend has just handed to me a still more recent return than that to which I was about to refer. Here, now, is our comparative statement of revenue and expenditure for 1879 and 1880 up to the end of last month. Without troubling you with all the details, I may briefly inform you that the total receipts from 1st January to the 31st July, 1879, amounted to $571,000. Comparing that period with the seven months of this year, I find $627,600, showing a considerable increase in the revenue of this year as compared with that of last year. Taking the total estimate of revenue for the year 1880 and comparing that total estimate with what we have now obtained, there is very little doubt also that in all the great items of revenue, those especially which show the prosperity of Hongkong, there will be a considerable increase. In our police, lighting, water, and fire brigade rates there is a large incrcase. In an item which is of great interest to commercial men, that is the stamp revenue, I find an increase. The estimate for stamps for 1880 was $115,000. Well I have here the sum we have obtained. If it continues for the rest of the year, as I have every expectation it will, it will bring up that revenue to $125,000, being $10,000 more than estimated. And I may mention, in touching upon this, that as compared with 1879, and especially the earlier part of 1879 and latter part of 1878, there is one item in which the stamp revenue shows a decline, and that is in the stamps on share transfers, but I don't regret the fact. We find an increase on the stamps for marine policies of insurance, bills of lading, bank notes, and those more healthy signs of real commercial busines I don't regret the fact that there is a difference, I think amounting to $4,000, upon the stamps on the transfer of shares. On the whole of our revenue there is a considerable increase. Therefore, gentlemen, I have now to move the first reading of the estimates, and we will discuss them at our next meeting. I may tell you that the estimate of revenue which my honourable friend the Colonial Treasurer has prepared, and which I entirely accept, amounts to over $1,070,000. The expenditure I hope, with your assistance, to keep at something like $980,000, which will give us something like $90,000 of a surplus. The details will core before you in the usual form of printed estimates, and after the proper time elapses which is laid down in our rules, I will move the second reading of the Appropriation Ordinance and the estimates, and on that occasion I need hardly say I shall be most happy to receive from my honourable friends on the Council any suggestions they may choose to make. I can only say, gentlemen, that if it be my appiness for two or three years more, with the Queen's permission, to submit estimates to this Coun-

I trust they may show similar evidence of our commercial prosperity.

he desires to be admitted;

2nd. That he is free from any physical defect or disease which would be likely to interfere

with the proper discharge of his duties;

official duties.

J. POPE HENNESSY. 28th May, 1877.

With respect to Mr. J. P.

　　　The Governor has now been pleased to direct that his Minute of the 28th of May, 1877, shall i future be strictly adhered to, and that those young gentlemen who may have been admitted by Head> of Departments into Offices in the Colony as learners, are to have no claim to any Government appoint- inents beyond what they may gain for themselves by examination, when vacancies occur.

MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

The following Report, extracted from the local papers, is published for general information.

A Meeting of the Legislative Council was held on Friday, the 10th September, 1880. There were present:-

His Excellency, Governor Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, K.C.M.G.

The Acting Colonial Secretary,--Honourable F. Stewart.

The Attorney General,---Honourable E. L. O'Malley.

The Acting Colonial Treasurer,-Honourable M. S. TONNOCHY. Honourable P. RYRIE.

Honourable W. KESWICK.

Honourable J. M. PRICE.

Honourable NG CHOY.

MINUTES.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed.

THE ESTIMATES. ·

His EXCELLENCY-Gentlemen, the Finance Committee, in accordance with the arrangement we made at our last meeting, met more than once, and carefully considered the Estimates of 1881. They are now in your hands in the form in which they came from the Finance Committee, and I therefore move that we go into public committee on the Appropriation Bill of 1881.

???

Honourable W. KESWICK-Before going into Committee, your Excellency, I should like to make a few remarks. They will be very few, and in beginning I should say I think the Colony is to be congratulated on the very satisfactory state of its finances and upon the extensive and growing character of its revenue. On two occasions your Excellency has alluded to the deficits, on your arrival or shortly afterwards, pointed out to you by Mr. GARDINER AUSTIN. I think it is to be regretted the figures placed before your Excellency have not been put before the Council, as I was under the impression that up to that period the revenue had been adequate to the expenses of the Colony, and on looking into the returns I find there were $902,000 expended and $885,308 of revenue, which certainly leaves a deficit of about $17,000, but I find also in that year, 1876, there were $52,000 odd outlay for the Central School site and $10,000 spent in the conversion of Stonecutters Island gaol into a powder magazine. I look upon these two items of expenditure not as money sunk, for there is a good asset in them and they are permanently worth the money paid. Allowing these two amounts and deducting from them the deficiency of $17,000, there would be an apparent surplus of $45,000, as I make out the figures. I mention it, as it appears to have engaged your Excellency's attention on two occasions. and I think the figures I have written out are correct. There is another matter which has also twice been referred to by your Excellency. On the last occasion when you made your statement on the position of the revenue of the Colony you alluded to the sale of Crown lands:-"The sale of Crown land, especially in a small Colony like this, is actually selling a portion of our capital. What we should consider as land revenue is the increment of increase in the value of land with the progressive "increase of the prosperity of the Colony." I may be wrong in the view I take, but it is a view different from that expressed by your Excellency. I think that land unproductive is lost capital. Land sold as land is sold in Hongkong, bearing a fixed rental, is made productive and brings into the Colony something towards the revenue. Furthermore, that land is built upon and the buildings will be subject to taxes apart from the land tax, and also swell the revenue of the Colony. Consequently, selling land. as I view it, is not diminishing capital but profitably utilising it. Not that I would have land given away or forced off by any means. If a premium can be obtained for it, well and good, but there i also the consideration--are not house rents in this Colony reaching rather too high a figure? Is not our duty to consider the poorer classes? And is it not desirable that building should be mad as cheap as possible? Instead of having the native portions of the town overcrowded, as so many are, it would be well were houses more cheaply obtainable. There was a further matter. In coming to the points of expenditure, I think it is to be regretted that any sum-for instance, take the case of the Time Ball-shonld be stated without giving a full estimate of the cost of completing the work. It is not the first time we have had this matter before us, and I include also the proposed harbour of refuge at Causeway Bay, and I think I formerly said that it would be desirable to see, on such occasion stated in full the estimated amounts required to complete the works, and then if, during the one year for which we make the vote, the whole cost is not all expended, such an amount as is estimated to expended should be stated. With regard to the harbour of refuge, than which I know nothing mor deserving of support, I think there should be more stated than simply "$10,000 from the Special

691

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880.

Fund." I think we should have full particulars given in connection with it. The Central School not mentioned in the estimates, I presume on account of its not being supposed the building will be required next year, or, it may be, a supplementary vote is intended. But I hope there will ot be any great delay in something being undertaken. I am sure the community view, with onsiderable anxiety, the length of time that has elapsed without anything being done to improve the ondition of that school. It is understood to be ill ventilated and unhealthy. I have often heard he sympathy of the community expressed for both the teachers and those taught that no better rovision was made for their comfort. There is no mention in the Estimates, Your Excellency, with regard to Fire Tanks and provision for the better suppression of fires, in the event of such Bisasters as we have had.

We have had experience in the past, and I would have liked to see some tatement on the subject of remedial measures; and that brings me to the larger question of water apply, than which I am not aware of anything more deserving of consideration. There is not an equate supply of water for the growing population of this Colony, and it is most important that here such a vital necessity as water is concerned we should look ahead. Waterworks to be made on nadequate scale cannot be quickly constructed. They will take a long period. I am not aware how ng, but I don't think eighteen months or two years would see them completed; consequently, we ould make some step in the way of beginning what is so desirable. I think, too, in considering the edical portion of the estimates, that it would have been of interest if the Colonial Surgeon's report ad been in the hands of the members of Council and also in possession of the public. It has not yet een published. I come now, Sir, to what I call the accumulating surpluses of the Colony. It is very ice to have them, but I for one do not consider it is desirable that taxes should be maintained in order create them. It would be well that taxation should be reduced when the taxation is known to be on firm basis and adequate to provide a revenue to meet the expenditure. Nothing but what is needed hould be withdrawn from the taxpayers. To have a small surplus is very desirable. To have large pluses accumulating for the miserable pittance of five per cent. is not good, as I view it, for the eneral interests of the Colony. The lighter taxation is, the more prosperous are people likely to be. is well to have moderate surpluses. No one can find fault with them, and I can only hope that ther in water supply or some other useful outlay the large sums we now possess may be invested in ich a manner as to compensate the taxpayers for not having the money in their own pockets instead

in the Treasury.

His EXCELLENCY-Gentlemen, I feel obliged to my honourable friend for having congratulated e Council on what he has been good enough to describe as the satisfactory state of the colonial finances. concur with him also in thinking that the revenue of the Colony indicates commercial prosperity. o far, therefore, upon the broad question with which this bill deals, none of us--you who assist me or I yself who have the greater responsibility in controlling the expenditure of the Colony--have any cause to omplain of the present position of our finances. With respect to the remarks of my honourable friend to the deficit I found here on my arrival in April, 1877, it may, of course, be possible in any Colony here a deficit is discovered to point to the fact that a portion of the expenditure of the preceding year as laid out on the purchase of something which would actually remain in the Colony. For instance, very large deficit has been discovered in the finances of India, and if we were to be told that a con- derable sum had been laid out on public works, it would be true, but it would be no answer to the Tatement that in conducting your finances you are to avoid a deficit. Whatever sum you lay out ould be met by the revenue of that year; otherwise there is a deficit. My honourable friend referred so to the views I entertain with respect to the question of the sale of land. I am sure, coming from y honourable friend, the views he expressed are well worthy of our consideration. There is no doubt hatever that the sale of land in this Colony ought, a priori, to lead to the building of houses and to an in- case of revenue indirectly, but I should like to ask my honourable friend, whether in the history of Hong- ag it has ever come to pass that land sales have taken place and that large quantities of land have been chased, and that those large quantities of land have been held by land speculators to this moment built upon. That which would be of no very great moment in a large Colony is a serious thing in little island like this, and if the Surveyor General were to turn to his books now and find out for us lots of land purchased both in the East and West ends of this town and remaining idle-some rchased, I think, by honourable friends of mine sitting at the table; others purchased by the gentle- n who, in the exercise of their own business, have chosen to do so (and they are fully entitled to it-we should see that many lots purchased years ago are lying perfectly idle. When the question raised, how is it that house-rent is so dear, it is not the Government that is to blame. We have very building sites in this Colony. The land has passed from the Crown into the hands of private lividuals, and I have no power to compel them to build houses on the land. They pay a modicun nt: they comply with the trust of their deeds; and there, as far as we are concerned, the matter s. If, for public purposes, I require land, I can, under our Ordinances, reclaim it, but I cannot supel any of these gentlemen to build houses. At the same time, I must again repeat that my Courable friend's eminent position as a business man entitles any remarks he makes on this subject the very

　　　　　　　　　best consideration of the Council. Now, with respect to the expenditure, my honourable nd has pointed out that in the Estimates, as they were submitted to the Finance Committee, and as y are now before the Council, there are several omissions. But before referring to the omissions,-

very important ones they were to which my honourable friend alluded,-I will say a word on the stion of the Time Ball and Observatory. The vote I have taken for that is $10,000. In a despatch

692 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11?? SEPTEMBER, 1880.

　that I received from Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH in 1879, he enclosed for my consideration the following letter, which is from the Royal Society. It is signed by Mr. WARREN DE LA RUE, for the Kes Committee.

　　　"I am instructed by the Kew Committee of the Royal Society to request that you will bring to "the notice of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, the favourable position occupied by the "Colony of Hongkong for certain physical observations, especially with regard to the typhoons of the "China seas, on Meteorology generally, and on Terrestrial Magnetism, with a view to a communication . "to Governor Porr HENNESSY and of an effort to induce the Government of that Colony to support "for a limited term of years an Observatory provided with self-recording instruments.

"Her Majesty's Government have already shown so warm an interest in the promotion of physical "research, in connection with the Observatory of the Mauritius, that it is hardly necessary for the Kew "Committee to do more than point out to you the extreme importance of obtaining accurate records "of the Magnetic and Meteorological conditions of the China seas.

"Our knowledge of these facts is, at present, but scanty. The existing Observatories at which "continuous observations are taken on the Eastern Coast of Asia and the adjacent islands are-Batavia, "lat. 6 deg. 11 min. S., long. 106 deg. 40 min. E., supported by Holland. Manila, lat. 14 deg. 53 min. "N., long. 120 deg. 52 min. E., Society of Jesus. Zi Ka Wei (Shanghai), lat. 31 deg. 13 min. X.. "long. 121 deg. 27 min. E., Society of Jesus. Peking, lat. 39 deg. 53 min. N., long. 116 deg. 29 "min. E., the Russian Embassy.

　　　"Hongkong, lat. 22 deg. 15 min. N., long. 114 deg. 12 min. E., which divides the distance "between Manila and Zi Ka Wei, would form a most valuable addition to the above list.

　　　"The India Office have recently reconstituted the Meteorological system of Hindostan on a very "extensive scale, and the Committee beg to forward herewith a letter from Mr. BLANFORD, the chief of "that organization, in which he states very clearly the great advantages which would accrue, especially "to Meteorology, from such a measure as the establishment of an Observatory at Hongkong.

"The Committee estimate the cost of instrumental outfit at about ?1,000.

"The expenses of maintenance for chemicals and illumination (Gas of Paraffin) would amount in "this country to about ?100 a year.

　　　"The staff required would be a Superintendent, with two or three Assistants. The Committee "are not in a position to say what salaries would be required at Hongkong for such officials, but the "subordinate duties being such as intelligent non-commissioned officers of the army have before been "found competent to perform, they need not be very high.

　　　"The Committee would therefore venture to hope that the Colonial Office will be pleased to for- "ward this suggestion to the proper quarter, with such recommendations on the subject as they are "led to anticipate from the interest in the promotion of Science so frequently evinced by your Depart "ment; and which Governor POPE HENNESSY is so well qualified to appreciate.'

In writing to Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH on the 20th November, 1879, I said-

"I have read with much interest Mr. WARREN DE LA RUE's letter enclosed in your despatch No. “105 of August last, suggesting on behalf of the Royal Society the establishment of an Observatory in "this Colony, more especially with reference to Meteorology and Terrestrial Magnetism. As you were "good enough to say that I might consider this question when bringing the finances of the Colony before you, I have done so, and I venture earnestly to support Mr. DE LA RUE's suggestions, on local "as well as on Imperial grounds.

"Two years ago, in the first Estimates I prepared in Hongkong. I took the liberty of including a "sum of $5,000 for an Observatory and Time Ball. Further consideration has convinced me that, in "addition to what may be necessary for securing an accurate Time Ball, we ought to have in this Col· ony a thoroughly efficient means of recording such physical observations as Mr. DE LA RUE refers to, "Furthermore, the clearness of the atmosphere at certain seasons would admit of a valuable record "being made of sun spots. Incidentally, such questions as the tides and the varying temperature i

the sea surrounding Hongkong, the remarkable disintegration of the granite which can be noticel "almost from day to day in the island and in British Kowloon, and certain extremely slight, but no unfrequently occurring earthquake phenomena would probably be deserving also of the attention et competent observers.

　　　"If, therefore, you will approve of my doing so, I should be glad to submit to the Finance "Committee a vote of ten thousand dollars for a general scientific Observatory. I believe such a you "would be cheerfully supported by the majority of the Legislative Council, and that there would

no difficulty in including it in a supplementary Estimate for 1880."

Well, gentlemen, in reply to that despatch of mine the Secretary of State authorised me to deal with. the question in the Estimates that are now before you, and I have acted on that authority.

With n-

pect to the harbour of refuge for Chinese junks, that also is a subject to which I have given a good eal of attention from the moment I arrived in the Colony. I ascertained on my arrival that four or ive thousand of the Chinese were drowned in their boats in the typhoon of 1874, and I also found, on alling for the papers, that the leading Chinese gentlemen had memorialised the government for some- hing to be done in the way of a breakwater. However, for sonic years nothing was done, and accord- ngly in 1877 1 referred the matter to a committee of local gentlemen. That committee made a report, and upon that report I have acted.

I have acted. Her Majesty's Government, in accordance with the request I made them, have allowed me to expend $40,000 upon that work, to be taken from the Special Fund. Now, my honourable friend having touched on these two points which are in the Estimates, also dealt with certain omissions. He called attention to the omission with respect to fire tanks, the water apply and the Central School. I told the Council at the last meeting, or the meeting before last, that our xpenditure for 1879, though returned, as audited by Mr. MARSH in April this year, at a sum of 926,000, was in fact much larger, and I said that I would lay before the Council the actual expend- fare of the Colony during that period, inasmuch as Mr. MARSH had omitted from his statement all spenditure on the Praya wall. Now, we laid out, I find, on the Praya wall $152,846 in the year 1879. The total expenditure of the public works department in the year 1879 amounted to $272,922. In the history of this Colony that is the largest sum that in one year was ever expended by any Sur- eyor General. The total expenditure of the Colony was $1,079,000. I have mentioned these practical acts. because they bring me to the general statement why it is that we did not make the breakwater, he Observatory building, the Central School building, the separate system prison-why all these things were not done in 1879. Now, it may be said that the Governor, with a full knowledge of the act that the Surveyor General was expending the largest sum that any Surveyor General ever before spent in this Colony, could hardly press the Surveyor General to take any of these works. Well, I hink a good deal may be said to the effect that having in hand that large work, the repair of the Praya Vall, the Surveyor General was really incapacitated from doing any of these other works. However, had carefully considered the question, and it did occur to me that it was possible, inasmuch as the -cheme for the Praya works had been sent to London to a first-rate consulting engineer, that all the Plans and Estimates had been considered and returned, and inasmuch as four European overseers had ome out for that work, and as the work was going on-I say it did occur to me that early in 1879 he Central School Plans and Estimates, and the Plans and Estimates of a gaol on the scparate system might be undertaken by the Surveyor General. I know there is some little misapprehension in the Colony on this subject, and therefore I will read to you a few extracts from the official records bearing. on this question. I find a minute of mine to this effect:--

"GOVERNMENT HOUSE, "HONGKONG, 28th March, 1879.

Having placed in Mr. STEWART's hands the despatch of Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, No. 15 of the 6th of February, 1879, he has read the decision of the Secretary of State on the various points respecting Education in Hongkong raised in my despatches and Mr. STEWART's reports upon them.

　　　　　　"2. Having thus before him the views of the Secretary of State on the resolutions of the Education Conference, and on the question of raising the fees at the Central School, he will be able to let the Surveyor General know the probable number of pupils the new School should be built to accommodate, and thereupon, Mr. PRICE can, at once, prepare the final Plans and Estimates for approval.

"3.-As to the future fees payable at the Central School, the Secretary of State thinks it might be sufficient to commence by raising the fifty cents fee to a dollar; but if Mr. STEWART should be of opinion that this increase is too much to begin with, I shall sanction (subject to the Secretary of State's approval) any other arrangement Mr. STEWART might prefer, so as not to materially diminish the number of his pupils.

4.-

　　　　　　　　　-Any other modification in the future arrangement of the School that Mr. STEWART might desire shall also receive my most favourable consideration, as I believe the success of the School will mainly depend on leaving so able and experienced a Head Master as unfettered as possible in the arrangements and management of the institution.

"J. POPE HENNESSY."

On the 29th Aprill, 1879, that is, the following month, a letter was received by Mr. MARSH, the olonial Secretary, from Mr. PRICE, in which he says---

SIR,I have the honour to hand you herewith copies of letters between Mr. STEWART and myself on the subject of the proposed new Central School.

"2.--As I have understood accommodation would only be required for 500 scholars, and as Mr. STEWART'S suggestion of 700 is considerably in excess of this estimate, I would be obliged by your inforraing me, before I proceed to prepare the design, whether the larger figure has the Governor's -approval

"Colonial Secretary."

"J. M. PRICE,

"Surveyor General.

Enclosed in the Surveyor General's letter was the correspondence with Dr. STEWART. I need not trouble you

with that correspondence. I will lay it upon the table. It simply consists of a letter addressed by Mr. PRICE to my honourable friend Dr. STEWART, asking what number of pupils the school should be designed for, and the reply. When the papers came before me I saw, no doubt, the effect of the raising of the number of pupils from 500 to 700,-500 being the figure mentioned by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY and approved by the Government, and for which the Surveyor General had from time to time said this piece of ground which had been secured would be sufficient, and seeing that number was raised to 700, I had to consider how far that would interfere with my minute that the Plans and Estimates should be prepared. However, having carefully considered it, here is the minute I made on the 9th May, 1879:-

"No doubt, to provide accommodation for 700 instead of 500, and to build houses for the "Assistant Masters, will not diminish the cost of the new School, but as I am anxious to meet Mr. "STEWART'S views in all arrangements relating to the Central School, let the Plans and Estimates

be prepared in accordance with his wishes.

"J. POPE HENNESSY."

I find that was minuted by the chief clerk, Mr. WODEHOUSE, on the 10th May, "to the Surveyor General for his guidance." It was noted by the Surveyor General. I left the Colony on the 31st May, and nine days after I left the Colony the Surveyor General proposed to the Administrator, Mr. MARSH, to reverse my decision. I make no remark on the course Mr. MARSH took in doing so beyond this, that I have no doubt he did what he conceived to be his duty, and that though I had twice directed the Plans and Estimates to be prepared before leaving for Japan, in one minute saying, "Let them be prepared at once," nevertheless, when in the month of June, during my absence, an application was made by the Surveyor General to Mr. MARSH to postpone the Central School and the Gaol on the separate system, Mr. MARSH approved of that postponement. By the time the letter of the 9th June from the Surveyor General, proposing to postpone these works, came into the Colonial Secretary's Office, my honourable friend Dr. STEWART, Head master of the Central School, had been appointed by me to be Acting Colonial Secretary, and he therefore saw the letter of the Surveyor General and upon it he made this very sensible remark :-

Speaking of the Central School, as the Plans would go home for approval, it will, on this "proposal, be next spring before anything can be done; and I suppose the same holds good for the "others.

"Submitted.

"F. STEWART. 'Acting Colonial Secretary.”

But in that letter of the Surveyor General, though the Administrator thought fit to reverse my decision, the Surveyor General stated the case, at all events as far as language went, very strongly indeed, for this is what he said :-

"SURVEYOR GENERAL's Office, "9th June, 1879.

SIR,With reference to any delays that may have lately arisen, or that may yet arise, during "this monsoon, in the despatch of public business in this Department, and in explanation of what may appear a want of promptness on my part in attending to the every-day official matters referred "to me by Government, it is my duty to bring to the notice of His Excellency the Administrator the extraordinarily heavy press of work under which the Public Works' Staff is labouring at the present moment in connection with the Praya works."

The whole of the letter will be laid before you. It concludes thus:--

"In consequence therefore of what I have set forth, I would request you to move His Excellency "the Administrator to be good enough to approve of my postponing the claboration of the Ceutral School, Hospital, and Stone Cutters' Island Gaol projects until the expiration of the typhoon seas "in September next, wheu, public anxiety being allayed, I may relax the pressure under which the Praya reconstruction is being carried on, and thus be enabled to turn my undivided attention to "the other works just enumerated.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient Servant,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880. 695

As I mentioned, upon that letter Dr. STEWART made a minute that the effect of it would be to defer everything to the spring of 1880. However, Mr. MARSH approved of it and also directed that the paper was to be submitted to the Governor on his return, and it was accordingly filed until the Governor's return. Well, I returned to the Colony on the 6th September, and one of the first inquiries I made was for the Plans and Estimates of the Central School and the Gaol on the separate system. I then learned from Mr. MARSII that he had taken the responsibility, for what he conceived very good and sufficient reasons, to alter my decision, and these works were postponed. Thereupon I sent him the following minute :----

"9th September, 1879.

　　　　　　　"Let me see my minutes directing the Surveyor General to prepare the Plans, &c., for the "Central School, and the Stone Cutters' Island prison."

I then made the following minute :---

"J. POPE HENNESSY.'

　　　　　Accordingly, I summoned the Executive Council on that day, the 18th September. The question that had been raised by Mr. PRICE was whether, if I resolved to insist on my original minutes, I should not be satisfied with having only one set of Plans prepared for the School or for the Gaol. We had the advantage of hearing the Surveyor General at the Council meeting, and the following is an extract from the minutes, which I now lay upon the table :-

　　　　　　　"In reply to His Excellency, the Surveyor General states that he hopes in a very short time to "be ready with the Plans and Estimates for a Gaol at Stone Cutters' Island and for a new Central "School.

"In regard to the latter it is agreed to request the Head Master of the Central School to reduce "his Estimate of the number of boys for whom the school would be required, as the extent of ground, "in the opinion of the Surveyor General, was too small to accommodate the large number of 700

pupils for which Dr. STEWART had recently estimated."

The decision of the Council was that the Plans and Estimates of both projects should be prepared ; at least that was my decision after listening to what the Council and the Surveyor General said, that he ought in a very short time to be ready with the Plans and Estimates for both projects. Well, the year 1879 passed, and in the month of June of this year the Plans of the Central School were put before me by the Surveyor General, and in the month of July, the Plans of the Gaol on the separate system. With respect to the Central School, the moment the Plans were put in my hands in this room I called upon my honourable friend Dr. STEWART to come with me, and also the Inspector of Schools and the Surveyor General, and we proceeded instantly to consider the question which had been engaging my attention for some months before. You will have noticed from the early minute I read that Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH had given me directions to raise the fee of the Central School, and in fact he said it ought to be raised, the lower fee, from fifty cents to one dollar. That was in March, 1879. I said I would act in accordance with Dr. STEWART'S wishes, and he asked me not to fix the higher fee till 1st January, 1880, and accordingly I acted on his recommendation, but the delay that had occurred with the Plans enabled me to consider whether the number of 700 which Dr. STEWART had suggested and which I had approved of would be decreased by this increase of the fee, and the further question, whether the establishment of five new elementary schools might not draw away the lower classes fron the Central School and in that way much reduce the numbers, and wheu finally, in the month of June, I had the three officers concerned--the Head master, the Inspector of Schools, and the Surveyor-General--we considered a third question, namely, whether the time had not come to raise the Central School itself into a collegiate establishment, trusting to the fact that the five new elementary schools, especially by giving

giving an English teacher in each school for teaching English to the Chinese boys, would take away a considerable number, and I understood that the number to be so drawn away from the Central School under these conditions would not be far short of 400. In a word, it was manifest that the time had come to reconsider the position of the Colony with regard to the Central School, and after all I don't regret the delays that took place, asmuch as these delays have enabled me to issue a commission which I addressed to every unofficial member of the Council, of course to my honourable friend the Head Master, the Attorney General, the Surveyor General, the Inspector of Schools; and the only gentleman not connected at present with the Council or with the Government whom I put on is Mr. BELILIOS, who recently endowed a scholarship. The Commissioners will soon be at work, I hope; the questions they will have to consider are simple es, and I believe they will speedily come to a conclusion. They will be able to let me know whether the time has come for having a collegiate institution or an institution of a somewhat more academic ature than the Central School for teaching English and science to the Chinese, and then we will also

696 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1980.

be able to know the effect of the increased fec. The average daily attendance in September has been reduced to 401. The Commissioners will have these papers before them, and will be able to give me some very sound and useful advice as to what we ought to do with that institution and how far the five elementary schools will suffice to take away the lower classes now attending that school. So far for that subject. Now, with regard to the question of the water supply and fire tanks.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I will put before you certain correspondence which will also show you exactly how that stands. You will remember that a deputation waited on me, and I speedily sent to Her Majesty's Government the observations made by the members of that deputation and certain reports I had obtained. I will lay before you a copy of the despatch I addressed in September, 1879, to the Secretary of State on this subject. I will also put before you copies of various minutes addressed to the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, the report of the Surveyor General, my own minutes upon that report, and a subsequent despatch addressed by me in October, 1879, to the Secretary of State, with a report by Messrs. PRICE, RYRIE and CREAGH, to whom the matter was referred, and I will also put before you the despatch of the Secretary of the 19th December last upon the subject. These papers will give full information as to the views of the local Government as well as Her Majesty's Government on the subject, and they will show you no time has been lost in collecting the facts necessary for undertaking this important work. I need hardly say the remark made by the Surveyor General, when he desired to postpone the orders I had given with regard to the Central School and the Gaol, namely, that his department sustained an extra- ordinarily heavy stress of work owing to the Praya Wall, applies also to the question of the fire tanks, and in fact to every other public work that we would desire to have in the Colony. My honourable friend referred to the medical Estimate, and he said he would have liked to have before him the report of the Colonial Surgeon. That report is in print, and I intend to publish it, with some other reports of the Colonial Surgeon which have not before this been published. They have a bearing upon a question of great importance, namely, how we should manage the sanitary affairs of this Colony. This is not the first time that my honourable friend has drawn attention to the water supply with respect to sanitary matters. I then expressed my opinion very fully, and to that opinion I entirely adhere, namely, that in dealing with sanitary matters in this Colony and with the water supply for the people, we are to remember that this is not the town of Liverpool; that we are dealing with a tropical Colony and a Chinese community. But as the question has been mentioned again now for the second time, I must say that in the reports which I have now seen relating to the sanitary state of this Colony, the main defect I find is this,--that an attempt has been made, an injudicious attempt, to force what is called the rules of Western sanitary science upon the Colony of Hongkong. Now the Estimate amounting to $240,000 for water supply was framed by the Surveyor General. Accompanying that Estimate was a previous report of his in which he pointed out what he conceived to be the necessary quantity of water that every individual in this Colony should have for daily use, and stress was laid upon the water necessary for flushing house sewage, and an appendix was printed with proposed regulations for flushing the water closets of the Colony. We have amongst our Ordinances, unfortunately-it is not the only instance of it-an Ordinance of the year 1856 which tells us that every house in the Colony must have a water closet or a privy. Well, on iny arrival in the Colony I found that some gentlemen here were not so fully alive as I thought we ought to be to the evils of a water closet and house privy system. I was very much struck by what I noticed in the Gaol, where on my first visit I found the stench was very bad. This indeed was only a confirmation of what in 1876 we read in the report of my honourable friend on the right, Mr. RYRIE, and Mr. SNOWDEN'S Committee, in which they spoke of the stench in the Gaol as being most objectionable. I made inquiry and found this stench' traced to the fact that the greater part of the night-soil of the Gaol was every morning emptied into a drain in one of the yards of the Gaol. At that time my honourable friend the Acting Colonial Treasurer, Mr. TONNOCHY, was in England. But for several years those who had the management of the Gaol, and the responsibility of conducting the scavenging of the Colony, and were responsible for the sanitary State of the Colony, allowed this shocking state of things to exist. The iron grating was taken up. and the Government scavenger, who is an officer under the control of the Surveyor General's Department, emptied into it the greater part of the night-soil of the prisoners. The dry earth system was not in use, though Mr. ToxNOCHY, Some years before he left for England, advocated it. His views were not carried into effect. Nothing could be worse than the sanitary state of that important institution. I mention this to let the Council see how in this Colony the gentlemen who are responsible to me for the sanitary state of the Colony appeared to overlook the importance of not allowing the night-soil to be swept or cast into the drains of the town. But that was not all. When I made my minute on the date of my first visit to the Gaol calling attention to what I found, the papers were sent to the officers concerned, and I shall lay before you the various minutes. You will see that whilst I directed that the dry earth system should be introduced, I was immediately told it was impossible-it could not be introduced;-first, because there was no earth in the island; secondly. because the Chinese were opposed to it. I knew, having had four years' experience of the Chinese, that the latter statement was a mistake, and as to the absence of earth in the island, I also knew that that was an error. I therefore gave directions that the dry earth system should be brought int operation, and in my minute I said I should hold the officers concerned gravely responsible if there was any delay in this essential work, and I pointed out to the Colonial Surgeon in my minute that an outbreak of cholera or typhoid fever in the Gaol, built, as it was, on a slope above the town, might decimate the population of this Colony. You will have before you the Colonial Surgeon's

answer to that certainly serious minute of mine, but, having read it, I had only to repeat my instruc- Those who had raised the difficulties, however, then tions that the work should be done. undertook to have the work done, and I reported to Her Majesty's Government the promise made to But I think it was in the early part of 1878 that Dr. O'BRIEN, a physician of eminence in this Colony, and another gentleman, a visiting justice, made a record in the book that my instructions were not carried out, and that a considerable portion of the night-soil was still flung down the open drain, and the dry earth system had not been carried into effect in spite of the peremptory instructions given by me in May and June 1877. Upon that the usual minutes the Governor has to write upon such subjects were written, and I then took steps whereby I saw my wishes were carried out. I am happy to say the same medical man, Dr. O'BRIEN, and with him Dr. WELLS, having to report on the punishment of prisoners, both said in their report in 1879, that they were happy to notice that the dry earth system was then thoroughly carried out in the Gaol. And I am bound to add that there is not now in any part of the world a cleaner or better conducted gaol than that under the superintendence of my honourable friend Mr. TONNOCHY. It was not merely in the Gaol this occurred, but there is in this Colony what is called the Government Sanitarium, a residence to which the Governor goes for the benefit of his health during the warm months. I found members of my household, shortly after we went to that so called Sanitarium at the Peak, became ill, and the illness, in the opinion of competent medical men, was traced to defective sewerage. I directed the Surveyor General to send one of the Inspectors of Nuisances to make a minute report, not only on my own house, but on every house at the Peak. That report I shall put in type, and I am sorry to say it exposes some lack, on the part of the sanitary officers of this Colony, of the commonest precautions in connection with sanitary questions. I then gave instructions that the dry earth system should be carried out, not only in my own house and that occupied by the Police guard, but in every other house at the Peak. And, when one gentleman grumbled a little, I had to tell the Surveyor General I would exercise my statutory right to reclaim the land, giving the value of it, sooner than allow him to build a house unless be undertook to carry out the dry earth system. I would not allow any drainage of night-soil either into the Pokfoolum valley reservoir or ever the hills on this side of the town. That was not the only question I had to deal with in connection with sewerage. In September, 1877, Plans for the proposed Hospital were prepared, and in spite of the orders I had given, which were perfectly general, that the dry earth system should be introduced into all public establishments--and I have before me the Estimate of the Surveyor General as to what the cost would be in connection with introducing that into all public establishments-in spite of that I found in the report a memorandum on the proposed conversion of the Lock Hospital into a general Hospital in which the Colonial Surgeon and the Surveyor General had, in consultation as to this building, come to this conclusion: "The present somewhat defective closets will be replaced by "Jenning's patent closets with pan and trap. One of the main advantages of this patent is that the dejecta are received in such a large volume of water as to be at once greatly deodorized." **** "The soil pipes will be trapped and ventilated. The present empty rooms adjoining will be subdivided into lobbies, bath-rooms, closets, and slop sinks, of the same construction as those already described, and "trapped and ventilated in like manner." And in dealing with the very serious question of the fever wards of the Hospital, the report goes on to state that the closets and slop sinks are to be of the same construction as described, trapped and ventilated in like manner, and a description is given of the drains The words of the by which the night-soil, so deodorised by water, is to be conveyed into the sea.

report are:-"The sewage of the two Hospitals will be conveyed to the sea, a distance of two hundred "and fifty yards from the Hospital-road and Western-street, in a new 18-inch circular stoneware drain.' Now the first remark that occurred to me on reading it, was that my opposition to this mixing water with night-soil had been overlooked, and the earnest entreaties I had addressed to the officers concerned not to have water closets in this Colony had been disregarded, and of course I gave instruc- tions that these parts of the Plans could not be sanctioned. What I have said is of practical importance with regard to the Water Supply. If an Estimate of $240,000 was made with the idea that we are to have water closets, the amount might be necessary. It occurred to me, however, that it might be well to do what had not been done before in connection with the question, that is, to get some of the gentlemen who mainly contribute the money to pay for this scheme--the well-to-do Chinese-to favour me with their views on the subject, and accordingly these papers were translated into Chinese and submitted to them. They had ample opportunity of considering them, and after their consideration they favoured me with their views. Briefly, they are to this effect,-that they dread immensely the idea of flushing away dejecta by mixing water with night-soil; that to do so in this Colony would undoubtedly lead to discase. It would be especially dangerous coming from a Hospital. No matter how well closed the pipes might be, something might occur to crack them; the earth would become saturated and sodden, and you might have an outbreak of disease. On the other hand, they id, our simple house-bucket system, by which all this stuff is carried away every day is the best ystem on which to act, and it is on that accordingly I am acting. Having called for a return of the number of water closets in the Colony, I find there are one hundred and eighty-two. I find also is alleged that some latrines in the military barracks open into the sewers in the town of Victoria. Well, all that I hope to put a stop to. When we do put a stop to it, and finally make up our minds to avoid anything like mixing water with night-soil for the purpose of deodorising it, and Forn our attention to the sensible views of the Chinese gentlemen I have consulted, then we will be

698 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER. 1880.

able to deal with what ought to be the water supply of the Colony. I have already obtained many reports on a subject connected with the water supply of which every one will see the importance, and that is, the formation of public baths in the Colony, so that the Chinese, and especially the

poor Chinese, may have the opportunity every evening of having a little warm water.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　It is the custom in Chinese towns to have such baths where they can obtain water by paying a small sum for it, and we will do the same here. That will require water; and we also require water for drinking and washing purposes, but I cannot give my consent to any scheme whatever that would mix the question of water supply with the question of house sewage. The house sewage must be removed in accordance with the Chinese custom. which is a sensible custom. The question then would be what actual reduction can be made in the Estimate of the Surveyor General in accordance with what I have sail.. Some time ago the Colonial Secretary asked him to state the number of gallons per head per day that would be required, but I don't know that I have yet received the answer to that question. No doubt, in a short time I shall receive that information, and when we get it we will have an opportunity of considering what ought to be the water supply of the Colony; but you will al! admit my first duty is to sweep away that idea of having the privy or house closet system permitted in Hongkong. So far for the water supply. I can only assure you it is engaging my best attention and that of Her Majesty's Government. And even if I had elaborated a scheme, if I could have got the gentlemen concerned to do so, owing to the pressure to which I have alluded we could not have gone on with the work.. I may mention, speaking of that pressure in connection with the Praya Wall, that I thought it my duty before I went to Japan to inform the Surveyor General I should be very happy. as there was this great pressure, to give him at that time another Assistant Surveyor General or any other assistance to elaborate these Plans. However, as the matter stands, you will have before you the correspondence showing how these delays have occurred, and I am inclined to think that, as in the case of the Central School, the delays, having led to a full discussion of the whole subject, have not been unfortunate. Now, as to the accumulating surplus, I will only say to my honourable friend this much: He thinks a small accumulating surplus a good thing, but does not like to see a large one. Well, what is a large one, and what is a small one? What is our surplus? Why, at this moment it is not one year's income. Surely you may allow a Colonial Governor to have a surplus within one year's income. It is what any prudent man of business would have. But there are reasons, which I need not dwell much upon, but which I am sure my honourable friend appreciates, why we should have a reasonable surplus. There are the works I have touched upon. But there is another question. What was done in this Colony, up to 1878, for the defence of Hongkong? Little or nothing. Under the instructions of Her Majesty's Government certain steps have been taken.

Her Majesty's Government have informed me that the Colony will be expected to pay a proportion of the cost of the works undertaken for its defence. We have in the harbour at this moment an efficient iron-clad turret ship, the Wivern; that ship is here for local purposes. The Admiral will not carry her away from us; and if it be necessary to have one or two other ships of the same class, I believe they may be efficiently employed in the defence of this Colony. As you are aware, forts have also been constructed. No doubt, you are also aware a considerable quantity of torpedoes have been prepared. In other words, steps have been taken for the defence of this great centre of Eastern trade, and I know very well my honourable friend would be the last to find fault with the steps that have been taken, and I know he will admit that the ratepayers of the Colony who are so protected are bound to contribute to these works. Up to this time we have contributed nothing except the small sum. $2,400 a year, that I appropriated to the Volunteers, but a time will come-it may come at any moment-when we shall be called upon to pay a proportion of the expenses already incurred. That accounts for my anxiety to accumulate what I call a fair and moderate surplus. Well, I have endeavoured to deal with what my honourable friend called the omissions in the Estimates before us, and I think he will admit I have given substantial reasons why the Central School, the Fire Tanks, and other works to which he refers do not appear on the Estimates. But there is one omission in the Estimates which I thought would have attracted the notice of my honourable friend, and probably would have received attention from him, but on which he has not said anything on this occasion. It is a small sum; it is only $1,200, but is an omission in the Estimates of this and my honourable friend has not said a word about it. Now, how does it come to pass that he has not said anything about it?

year.

Honourable W. KESWICK said he did not know what the omission was to which His Excellency

referred..

His EXCELLENCY-The Central School and Fire Tanks are omitted, and the usual vote of $1,200 to pay the Curator of the City Hall is omitted, and my honourable friend saw it like a practical man.

Honourable W. KESWICK--I thought it was in the Miscellaneous Services.

　　　　HIS EXCELLENCY-My honourable friend is an old member of Council and too shrewd a nan business not to know that in our Estimate for last year, and for several years, there appeared the item of $1,200 for the Curator and Librarian of the City Hall. That has appeared in our Estimates for many years past, and of course my honourable friend saw that it was omitted on this occasion.

Honourable' W. KESWICK-I really did not observe the omission; I did not notice it.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11 SEPTEMBER, 1880. 699

HIS EXCELLENCY--Now I find the vote for Miscellaneous Services in 1880 was $4,000. In These Estimates for 1881, we have the same sum. One might have imagined that the question of the City Hall would have attracted the attention of my honourable friend. However, perhaps he thinks the subject is not one of importance; at all events, not of sufficient importance to bring to the notice of the Governor in the Legislative Council. But, still. somehow or other, my attention has been alled to it by my honourable friend, for he favoured me with the recent report of the Commirree of which he was the Chairman. in which the vote is referred to. I read it with interest. and I find introduced into it some reference to the proceedings of the Governor with respect to this sum of $1,200. In addition to reading this report, to which is appended a good many documents, I took a glance at the proceedings of the meeting itself, and there I saw what my honourable friend had remarked. -aid,-

"With regard to the Museum you will doubtless have perceived that a serious misunderstanding exists between the Committee and the Executive-the Governor. The origin of the difference is seen in the first letter which was addressed to the City Hall Committee. It is unique in the way which it assumes that the Committee must obey the behests of the Governor in matters connected with the City Hall. It is the first time that the Committee has been so addressed. On all previous

· occasions when we have had communication with the Governors of this Colony we have received from them from the first until the last and the last is the exception--every support and assistance -in making this public institution as beneficial to the community as possible.'

this

Now, I observe that this meeting was a meeting of what one may call business men, and such was the statement to which they listened. There were apparently laid before them the various documents which the City Hall Committee had in their possession on this subject. At least, the gentlemen went away from the meeting under that impression. But after all, what is the fact? I have no hesi- tation in saying that there never was a case in this Colony put either before politicians or men of business in which more serious omissions occurred than in the case as laid before the public in this report and appendix. To begin with, not one word is said as to the Trust Deed under which the City Hall is held, not one word is said as to the conditions upon which Her Majesty's Government gave the Crown land to the public of this Colony. Not one word is said as to the specific and clear conditions of Governor Sir Kenare MACDONNELL in his various minutes on this subject, all of these minutes being in the hands of the Committee of the City Hall, and being all concealed from the public of the Colony. At that City Hall meeting there were twenty or thirty men of business, bank inana-. gers, leading merchants, sensible men, who thoroughly understand their own business arrangements. Suppose them to be told they were to consider something with respect to which the essential condi- tions were to be concealed from them, and they were to receive only a certain portion of documentary evidence, the earlier and more important part being kept in the dark. Well, on learning, as they now will do, the actuals facts, I think my friends who attended that meeting will be surprised to see that grant of land was given by the Crown on specific conditions; that the Governor who sanctioned the first vote from the ratepayers' money of $1,200 a year for the pay of the Curator, did so on specific conditions, which were violated by the Committee without the sanction or knowledge of the Excentive. Now, to begin with. here is the deed. I may mention that this very deed which I hold in my hand- it is not the first time that my honourable friend has seen it--was before him as a member of the City Hall Committee. These minutes of Sir RicHARD MACDONNELL were all before him. They were onsidered by him and read at Committee meetings. All this was carefully gone into, but not one word was said at the recent public meeting about these minutes and the deed, which are essential in eciding the question whether the Committee kept good faith with the Government. Now, what say the deed and minutes ?-His Excellency then read portions of the deed, which vested the land in the rustees thereon to erect a building to be used as a City Hall; violation of the conditions to entail orfeiture of the property and expulsion of the occupiers.-Such is the deed.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Such is the deed. Under that deed the Property, the legal estate, vested in Messrs. TURING, MCDOUALL and RYRIE. Now. I find, on referring to the papers, of which all notice was omitted by my honourable friend at this public meeting, that for a considerable period my honourable friend Mr. RYRIE was in fact the leading man, the chief manager, the person upon whom the whole responsibility was thrown. I find that he alone repre

nted the City Hall for a long, time, and he and Mr. RENNIE did so for a considerable period. Now, What were the conditions imposed by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, and under what circumstances? His first minute is addressed to Mr. AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary. He said--

MR. AL

　　　　　　　　　AUSTIN, --It occurs to me that before the Estimates are finally closed it might be possible for Mr. RENNIE and the gentlemen having the management of the City Hall to show cause for grant- ing a small sum in aid of the Institution, so far as the latter, by its Museum and Library, may be held to offer advantages of a valuable kind to the public.

"It is very desirable that a person acquainted with such things should be carly appointed as Librarian and Curator of the Museum, which latter. if well fitted up, would soon attract to it a large collection of interesting objects.

　　　　　　　The fittings for a Musema are not, however, an easy whilst they are certainly a costly matter. These things will require time, which is passing rapidly.

700 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880.

"I am anxious to help any scheme likely to secure a Museum and Library of the City Hall, managed on liberal terms and such as may fairly entitle the Institution to a grant from the Colony. "Hongkong has quite a sufficient tendency already towards the almighty dollar. It would do the "community good to give them a slight list over the other way.

30th September, 1868."

"R. G. MACDONNELL.

That minute, made in September, 1868, was referred to Mr. RENNIE, and he, on behalf of the City Hall Committee, wrote a letter, which has been recently, with all the other papers, before the City Hall Committee. I shall now place them before the Council. He gives a long explanation as to what the Committee understood with reference to the admission of the public. Thereupon, Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL writes--

“MR. AUSTIN,This memorandum omits to answer my principal inquiry, which I shall now put "in plain words. Are the Museum and Library to be managed on liberal terms, and, if so, on what?

'Is any subscription to be necessary to enable any member of the community who behaves "himself quietly and is decently dressed, from visiting the Museum and Library and even reading in "the latter place, as is the case in Melbourne, where one of the noblest institutions in the world is free "to all the world?

"If perfect freedom of access is not to be allowed, as is probable, what are to be the restrictions ?

"R. G. MACDONNELL.

3rd October, 1868.'

That is dated 3rd October, and here is the answer of the City Hall Committee, that is, the answer of Mr. RENNIE and my friend Mr. RYRIE.

"The whole of the arrangements upon which the City Hall is to be managed have not been defi- nitely fixed, but there never has, I believe, been any thought of having the admission to the Museum "and Library otherwise than perfectly gratuitous, and open, as His Excellency states, to all well-

dressed and well-behaved persons.

3rd October, 1868."

Honourable W. KESWICK-Is that signed by Mr. RENNIE?

"W. H. RENNIE,

“On behalf of the City Hall Committee.

HIS EXCELLENCY-It is signed by Mr. RENNIE "On behalf of the City Hall Committee.'

Honourable W. KESWICK-That is a private memorandum.

　　　　HIS EXCELLENCY-So far from being a private memorandum, which my honourable friend says it is, here is the document. It is an official document and is headed "C.S.O.," "Colonial Secretary's Office," with the register number, "No. 2669." It is strictly official in every sense of the word, an official agreement made with the Governor of the Colony-not a private agreement but a public agreement a public agreement recorded in the archives of the Colony, made between the Governor and the City Hall Committee. Not being a private memorandum, it was referred to by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL' in the Legislative Council, and there he said the Museum was to be an institution open to all the inhabitants of the Colony, and he added he would not have given the grant but for that fact. What was the notice then issued? You will observe, gentlemen, that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL very properly couples together the Library and Museum. Now here is the notice that exists to this moment respecting the Library, and which for years was acted upon in respect to the Museum :-"The

Library is without

.open

payment to all decent and well behaved persons of every nationality." That notice, which refers now to the Library, and which is similar to the notice which referred for so many years to the Museum, was in strict accord, word for word, with the conditions laid down by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL and accepted by the City Hall Committee. All these facts are materia! facts concealed from the public. They were known to my honourable friend, in whose hands I had placed these documents not many months ago. What advantage is there in concealing facts material, so conclusive, from the public of this Colony? But there was another fact kept back. It is alleged, forsooth, that I, the Governor of the Colony, adopted a totally unprecedented course, a course that no other Governor thought of adopting, in giving instructions last year that the money was to be paid to the trustees. It happens that we have of the three trustees but one remaining in the Colony Now, why did I give these instructions? It was only when my friend Mr. PALGRAVE and one or two other strangers passing through the Colony called my attention to what, in their own word they described as a discreditable notice, or one little creditable to the City Hall Committee, drawing a distinction between one nationality and another. No such distinction had been made as

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　regards the Library. but only as regards the Museum, and that notice had come into effect when Sir RICHA!

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880. 701

MACDONNELL went away and some years after Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY came, but without his anction. This notice adopted a distinction of nationality without the knowledge or consent of the Executive. When this notice was brought to my knowledge, what did I do? I proceeded to lay the facts before my advisers. The notice was fully considered, and the conditions on which the grant was made, and a unanimous resolution of my Executive Council was passed that unless the conditions laid down by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL were carried out, the grant should be withdrawn.

A letter was written by the Colonial Secretary informing the Committee that unless they would agree to modify the notice and abolish this distinction of nationality I would not be able to place the vote of $1,200 in the Estimates for 1880. Some correspondence took place. My honourable friend, the Chairman of the Committee, knows a division took place in the Committee. I believe it is a matter of notoriety that the two leading members of the Committee were not in ntire accord with my honourable friend; and that Mr. RYRIE and Mr. SASSOON took a somewhat different view to that taken by my honourable friend, and, I think, three other members. I think it well for the whole of the community to understand exactly who are the gentlemen who have teen moving in this matter and what they have done. Mr. RYRIE was the sole trustee, and when the discussion took place in the Executive Council-I now state the fact, but I believe it was well known before the Acting Attorney General said Mr. RYRIE was the only gentleman there who had anything to do with the legal estate. He is the only gentleman responsible to the Government, and my attention was called to the fact that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL not only laid down very proper conditions, which have been violated, but that he also gave instructions as to whom the money should be paid. Here again I find an official paper. I can assure my honourable friend it is not a private paper-it is in every sense a public paper.

Honourable W. KESWICK-Was that sent with the others?

His EXCELLENCY--it was sent some months ago to the City Hall Committee with the others. it was read at the meeting of the Committee. A communication was made as to the City Hall

and Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S Minute was this-

"year,

"11th May, 1869." Therefore, I was not only acting on the advice of my legal adviser as to paying the money to the trustee, but I was acting in accordance with the only precedent put before ine showing any minute of the Governor with respect to the person to whom the money was to be paid. As I mentioned, two of the members of the Committee, my honourable friend here on my right (Mr. RYRIE) and Mr.. SASSOON, were disposed to think it would be better to abolish this invidious notice about nationalities, but there were three other gentlemen, I understand, who supported my honourable friend (Mr. KESWICK). They attended the Public Meeting-at least some of them-and therefore I have no hesitation in entioning their names. They are Mr. HoPPIUS, Mr. FORBES and Mr. RUTTUNJEE. I believe at the Meeting at which the division took place and the proposal to come to terms with the Government was rejected by a majority of one, my honourable friend was in the chair, Messrs. HOPPIUS, FORBES and CTTUNJEE Voting against Messrs. RYRIE and SASSOON. Now, a good deal has been said about the City Hall Committee and the action of the Government. I think I had better read, for the information of the Council, a passage from Her Majesty's instructions, which Her Majesty was graciously pleased to address to me, and which, as the Council will at once see, governs, in spirit, "very transaction of this kind. In the Queen's instructions I am told, with respect to the work of this Council, that is the legislation of the Colony---

"You are not to assent in Our name to any Bill whereby persons not of European birth or "descent may be subjected or made liable to any disabilities or restrictions to which persons of

European birth or descent are not also subjected or made liable.”

Har Majesty declares that I am rendered incapable of giving my assent to any such bill. The Royal mission and Royal instructions give the Governor of a Crown Colony a good deal of power, 10 abt, but for reasons which Her Majesty and the Queen's advisers thoroughly understand the Ivantages of, the Governor is precluded from giving his assent to any such bill. Now, the Royal stractions are the chief guide of the conduct of a Governor of a Colony, and in accordance with the t of that clause I see that Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL acted as a loyal Governor when he insisted on that condition, and gave effect in that condition he imposed on the Committee to the cause of instructions I have read. Is it to be said that Mr. HOPPIUS, and Mr. FORBES, and Mr. RUTTUNJEE to teach the Governor of this Colony on this all important question of the relations between sons of European birth and those not of European birth? That, indeed, these gentlemen are to set the conditions frained by Governor MACDONNELL and instruct the present Governor how he is to get the Government with respect to the Queen's subjects? Perhaps Mr. HOPPIUS may say, "What lo I cave about Queen Victoria's instructions? The conduct of the Governor may be in accordance

702 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880.

"with the Royal instructions, but I am a German." And perhaps another gentleman, Mr. FORBES, may say, “What do I care about this? I think it well to impose invidious restrictions on the Chinese "I am not bound by the spirit of Her Majesty's instructions. They are not the instructions of the "President of the United States." Well, my honourable friend was the Chairman of the City Hall Committee. He cannot say that. But it is not merely the question of the Governor acting in accord- ance with the law, with the conditions laid down by his predecessor and the spirit of the Royal instrue. tions. That is not the only question. What about a reference made to the Secretary of State? What about the suggestion of the Secretary of State, and the way in which it has been received by the City Hall Committee. I don't believe that in the history of Hongkong any body of gentlemen, whether they were subjects of the Queen or not, whether they were Germans, Americans, or British subjects, have taken the responsibility that the present committee have assumed in rejecting the suggestion of the Secretary of State. This is a question affecting the grant of public money, money of the ratepayers of this Colony. Perhaps the most illustrious man who preceded me in this Government, Sir HERCULES ROBINSON, he it is who has said:"The Chinese pay 98 per cent. of the taxes in this Colony." I am quoting from a despatch laid before Parliament and laid upon the table of this Council. per cent. of the population and they pay about the same proportion of the revenue."

They are 98 I know myself that they contribute considerably over 90 per cent. And the City Hall Committee come to these ratepayers and say to them, "Give us

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Give us $1,200," knowing well that $1,100 of these dollars are Chinese dollars, and the Committee say, "We will endeavour in some little way to gibbet you on our notice "board and make a distinction of nationalities," though the Governor, when the grant was made, stipu lated there should be no such distinction. But with respect to the Secretary of State, an appeal was made. I was requested by my honourable friend to submit the correspondence to Sir MICHAEL HICKS- BEACH. I did so-what was the result? Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH wrote a despatch, and he re- ferred to the objection made by the City Hall Committee to the admission of Chinese on a par with Europeans the objection, that is, that Messrs. HOPPIUS, FORBES, and RUTTUNJEE made-that is, to use their words, "there was some likelihood of disturbances arising between the lower class of Chinese "and the answering strata of Europeans." Well, I must say I thought that very unlikely: Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH thought it very unlikely. If the Chinese go to the City Hall to look at a dried snake in the Museum, why should they be prevented, when they can go to the Gardens to look at a live snake or go to the Library and call for a book with pictures of snakes? Where is the distinction? The Library is open to them, the Public Gardens are open to them, but, forsooth, Messrs. FORBES, HOPPICS and RUTTUNJEE are to prevent the Chinese subjects of the Queen from having free access to the City Hall Museum. One would have thought when the despatch came from Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in which he expressed grave doubt of these collisions occurring, and says he has never heard of such collisions occurring, that the Committee would have acted on his suggestion that for six months the entire free opening of the Museum should be tried, and then, if collisions occurred, some modifications could be considered. When that despatch came, what was done with it? It was referred with the trust deed, with Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S minutes and all the correspondence to the new Attorney General, who expressed a very clear opinion-an opinion coincident with that of all his predecessors that the legal estate vested in Mr. RYRIE, that the money, if any were to be paid, should be paid to Mr. RYRIE. A letter was written by the Acting Colonial Secretary to the City Hall Committee, in which he said:--"The Governor desires me to say he is authorised by the Secretary of State to suggest the free opening of the Museum for a period of six months. In doing so I am to express the hope of "His Excellency that the Committee will see its way to the adoption of the suggestion, and so remov "all cause of difference between themselves and the Trustee." The answer is "The new regulations "were so fully considered, and the majority were so clearly in favour of them, that the Committee are "unable to see that any useful end could be served by trying the experiment suggested." So it comes to this, that these gentlemen, the majority of whom are not British subjects, are, forsooth, to exclude the Queen's Chinese subjects from the City Hall, for which land worth $70,000, or more, was granted by the Crown to all the inhabitants--that these gentlemen are to set aside the trusts of that deed, the conditions of Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL, the resolution that was passed by the present Governor in Council, and the suggestion of the Secretary of State. Of course, they can't do so. However powertal these gentlemen may be, they are not strong enough to do that. The spirit of the Queen's instructions will be carried out. The conditions imposed by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL in respect of this ground will be fulfilled, and the law will be strictly enforced with respect to the

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　payment of any money, if any money again has to be paid to the Trustee. Gentlemen, I observe it was said also. at a place where I was not present, at a meeting at the City Hall, that there was some agreement cont to by the Governor with regard to these new rules, and that from that agreement the Governor hal deviated. I don't know that it was said very distinctly, but whether said distinctly or not, it was mistake. In 1879, my attention was called to the matter, and a letter was written to the City Hali Committee. When they refused to accede to the wish of the Governor of the Colony, I received 3 letter. It is not marked private, and I will quote a passage from it. It is from a member of this Council, His Honour the Chief Justice. He says: "Could you not let the vote for the year be passed "conditionally that the rules meet your approval, and thus give time for arrangement?" That letter of Sir JOHN SMALE's was written to me on 27th October, 1879. To that I at once agreed, names, that the vote, which had been struck out of the Estimates for 1880, should be put back again unr the condition that the Committee proceed to revise their notice and that the rules were to meet my

THE TU

pproval. Well, the Committee met.

QAZA TE, LITH SEPTEMBER, 1880. 703

The gentlemen who were not British subjects managed-again

a small majority-to exclude a number of British subjects from the Museum. I intimated at once that the rules did not meet my approval; nevertheless I kept the vote on the Estimates for 1880, and rections were given to the Colonial Treasurer to pay the money in accordance with Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL'S minutes and in accordance with the counsel of my law adviser, that is, to the trustee. Therefore I did my duty. The question now arises, whether we are to pay the ratepayers' money to these gentlemen who have no legal position whatever as far as the City Hall is concerned, who are violating every engagement they have made to the Government, but above all, who are endeavouring at this time, in the nineteenth century, to retain in Hongkong the last little remnant of intolerance in the shape of their notice. There is no other notice in this Colony in which a distinction is made tween Chinese and Europeans except that notice in the City Hall Museum; and, forsooth, it is to be kept up there, and the public money to be paid to gentlemen who, by a narrow majority, still retain that foolish and intolerant notice. I need not say it cannot be done. I am not surprised that my Lonourable friend, when he made his interesting statement as to what was omitted in the Estimates for Issi, avoided all reference to this subject in my presence. I have now given all the facts of the case. The papers from which I quoted are upon the table. My bonourable friend had an opportunity long ince of perusing them. He knew the case thoroughly. But for the first time, now, the essential facts for the right understanding of the question have been laid before the public.

Honourable W. KESWICK-Your Excellency, I am not prepared, not having expected this attack, nor would I think it desirable, to occupy the time of the Council, to go through in detail all that you have said, but as you have declared that that report does not contain all the facts, so do I, as emphatically as words can express it, declare my conviction that the statements you have made are not borne out by facts, that these papers that are put on the table as representing what was the understanding between Governor Sir RICHARD MCDONNELL and the trustees or those who got up the City Hall, do not bear out the construction you put upon them, and that the conditions have not been violated. There is no distinction in the way of the exclusion of Chinese from the City Hall; they are as free to visit the Museum within certain hours as any other nationality. The English are excluded during a certain time, and for reasons clear and well defined, and the rules are supported by those whose opinion we have good reason to respect, and these rules are said to be in accordance with the requirements of the community, both Chinese and Europeans. As regards the title-deed of the property, it is a pure and simple ordinary title-deed such as is granted in similar ordinary cases. contains no more conditions necessary for the opening of the Musema and the terms on which it should be kept open than does any book of ancient Sanscrit. And I would state with regard to these papers, when before the Associated Commitee--they were before that Committee-that the Committee duly considered and attached to them such weight as they thought the minutes referred to by Your Excellency deserved. They gave them due weight, and the result was an alteration in the rules such as no sensible practical man can for a moment doubt is in accordance with the best means of making that institution useful. There is no exclusion of the Chinese in the sense of exclusion. There is a regulation for making the institution useful. As to the Library, there is no inducement for the Chinese to flock to it as they do to the Museum, and regulations were necessary in the case of the latter, but those regulations do not exclude anyone. I deny in toto the charge that there has been any sup- pression of facts; none whatever has taken place. The truth as regards the City Hall is stated in the Correspondence, and Your Excellency's views are printed, as given by Your Excellency, and very little comment is made. It is for this community to judge between Your Excellency and the City Hall Committee, and the community does. I can conceive of nothing more likely to stir up a feeling of strife between races than the course Your Excellency has pursued. Previously to Your Excellency's arrival no such feeling existed, and I doubt now if these efforts to stir up such a feeling will be Successful.

Honourable P. RYRIE said his convictions had all along been that Chinese should be freely admitted and that there should be no distinction, no restriction. When His Excellency's letter was first placed before the Committee he urged them to get every statistic and every document that could had concerning the City Hall, from its commencement, and before any discussion took place or any tter was written, to have all these papers before them. He also strongly urged on them that they hould secure statistics of the 'number of visitors to the Museum for the first few years of its opening, V. up to 1870 or 1871, That had not been done, so far as he knew. He might detail at the present nt his recollection of what was done when the Museum was set on foot, so far as he knew the thers.

He could only, as he was absent for a time, detail what took place before 1868 and after 1869. is recollection was distinctly to the effect that the Museum was principally for the Chinese, that it was to enlarge the minds of the Chinese on natural, scientific and various other matters. As years pass by one's inemcry becomes weakened for details, but that was his general recollection of what rred; when the Library and Museum were opened, that was the general impression left on his . There was one statement in the Committee's letter which he took objection to, at the time. The Committee said that these rooms would, in all probability, in the event of the grant being with

rawn, revert to their original use as part of the entertaining rooms of the building. If the Committee erred to the document, they would find that these rooms in which the Museum was were never

704

THE HUNGKUNG GUY NMENT GAZETTE, HITH SETIEMBER, 1880.

intended for entertaining rooms. So far as the Trustees were concerned, he was, himself, most anxious that this grant should not be withdrawn, and he still hoped that His Excellency might yet be induced in the Supplementary Estimates to insert the vote now withheld. He thought the difference between His Excellency and the Committee was now reduced to a very small matter indeed. It was only, as far as he could make out, the mention of the name of the Chinese. He had it on the word of his honourable friend (Mr. KESWICK) that no respectable person, Chinese or otherwise, who applied to the person in charge for admission to the Museum at any hour of the day when it was open, save and except Saturday forenoon, when it was reserved for Chinese women and children, would be refused admission. If this was the case he saw no occasion for any mention of nationality. He saw no reason why the same notification should not be put up as was in the Library. He had reason to believe that of late no respectable man had, as a matter of fact, been refused admittance except during the time reserved for Chinese females. He did not see why the sum of $1,200 should be kept back from being expended in such a useful manner, upon such a mere matter as this mentioning of nationality. On principle he had the same objection as His Excellency to any distinction being drawn. Then the question came to be, who was to give way? Was it to be the Committee or His Excellency? His opinion was that the Committee should give way. His Excellency was the head of this Colony and the representative of Her Majesty the Queen; and on such a point as this, where almost nothing, hardly anything was involved, he thought the Committee with a good grace might give way.

Honourable NG CHOY stated that as the subject under discussion concerned the Chinese commu- nity, he thought it was incumbent on him, with His Excellency's permission, to make a few remarks. Being an annual subscriber to the City Hall, he had lately received a pamphlet containing the corre- spondence that had passed between the Government and the City Hall Committee with reference to the Museuin notice, but until he had just heard some documents read by His Excellency, he (Mr. NG CHOY) was not aware that the notice was altered after the departure of Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL. Now, the notice put up at the door of the Museum, modified as it was, was to this effect,--that the forenoon was set apart for the Chinese and the afternoon for those persons who were not Chinese. And at the end of the notice there was this proviso,-that any respectably dressed and well-behaved person could gain admission to the Museum at any time on application to the Curator or person in charge. He would ask, since any respectably dressed person could visit the Museum, what necessity there was to retain the dis- tinction of nationality? Although the matter was not practically of much importance, he considered a great principle was involved in the question. He had been abroad, and while there he had visited many public institutions, but he had never seen such a notice as this. The reason the City Hall Com- mittee gave for making that distinction, was to prevent a collision between the lower class of Chinese and the corresponding class of other nations. But in the Public Gardens, which were open to all alike without distinction of nationality, he had never heard there had been a row between Chinese and Euro- peans. But if the principle of class distinction was to prevail, where was it to end? It might apply to the Public Gardens and other public places of this Colony; nay, you might as well apply it to the public roads, by setting apart one side for Chinese and the other for Europeans. He thought, therefore, there was no valid excuse for drawing the distinction in the Museum notice. It had been said that the Chinese had never objected to the notice. But that was not true, because the Chinese did complain about it. If reference were made to the Chinese newspapers, it would be seen that articles had been written bitterly complaining of this invidious notice. As he said before, the matter involved a great principle, and he would venture to ask the honourable member on his right (Mr. KESWICK) and the other members of the City Hall, if they would like to see such a notice put up, supposing they them- selves were Chinese? If they did not, then why did they put such restriction on the Chinese? He was sorry if he said anything that might hurt, the feelings of any member of the community, but he deemed that, sitting there as a member representing the Chinese community, it was his duty to make the remarks he had made, and he would not be worthy of the seat he had the honour to occupy if he did not speak out what he conceived to be right and say what he thought he ought to say.-(Applause.)

　　　　　The ATTORNEY GENERAL.-Your Excellency, I will not presume to say much on this matter. but I have been so far acquainted with the history of it, having had many of the papers connected with it under my notice since I have been in the Colony, that I think I may be able to say one or two words on the question as it stands on these papers and has been brought before us to-day. I cannot help thinking that in the report presented to the annual meeting of shareholders there are one or two features which make it particularly incumbent upon a member of the Executive who has an opportunity, as I have here to-day, to take a part, or at all events not to shrink from taking a part, in the discussion which has arisen, because names of great weight, and names entitled to great respect are introduced and their views are referred to, not very fully, but they are referred to in a way might almost raise the suggestion that Your Excellency, in insisting upon this great question of principle-as Your Excellency has explained it, and as my Honourable friends Mr. RrRIE and Mr. No Chor have put it-is standing alone or in some sense separated from the Executive and other persons of high standing in the Colony. Now, the question which has arisen with regard to the administration of the City Hall is, as Your Excellency has pointed out, primarily a question of good faith. I won't go so far as to say it is a question simply of precise contract, but it is a question, having regard to the document on which the City Hall grant was originally made and to the minutes

that have been quoted, whether they establish a precise contract or no, I think the Council will agree with me there is a question of good faith, and that whatever may be the legal interpretation to be the negotiations between the Government and the responsible persons acting on behalf of put upon the City Hall at the time the grant was made, there was an understanding at least that the principle of having the City Hall free, open, and without distinction to all Her Majesty's subjects in this Colony, was accepted. I say the question is one primarily of good faith. Farther, it is a question of principle apart from good faith, a question it may be called of policy, that of admitting Chinese subjects of Her Majesty to equal rights in this part of Her Majesty's dominions with those of Her European subjects. Then there is a third question, the question of expediency. Now, I observe that in this report some account is given of a meeting which was held by the Committee of the City Hall, in which they associated with themselves, for the purpose of discussing the question here raised, the Chief Justice and Bishop Burden, and the description which is here given of the course of that meeting, having regard to the three aspects of the question I have referred to, is somewhat curious. The meeting is said to have discussed the question in all its bearings. The public, apparently, have not seen all the bearings of the question yet, and I should certainly say it is a fair inference from the report of this meeting that the most important of the beatings of the question were not before the meeting; otherwise, the course of the discussion to any mind was a most extraordinary one. Now here is the report. We have the Bishop introduced with this flourish,-"The Bishop, who has resided for many years amongst the Chinese and has a thorough knowledge of their language." I don't see how that hears precisely---- "customs and feeling"-that is more pertinent, "being one of those who supported the new regulations. After deciding upon these new rules it was unanimously decided by those present at the meeting that it was unnecessary to consider the second article of the basis of settlement." What was the second -article? The second article was the article which proposed to consider these regulations on the ground of good faith. Therefore, it appears that the Committee considered this question, leaving out the con- sideration whether they were keeping good faith with those who advanced the funds. Well, the public, if they were to be content with the materials furnished by this document, would be in much the same position as the Committee. The question of good faith would not be before them as it really arises, and upon the question of expediency they would have no materials for a judgement unless they like to take the opinion of Bishop BURDON. In that report the question of good faith, the question that arises out of the minutes of the Governor and the correspondence is left out altogether, and, as His Excellency has pointed out, the full merits of bis question from the three-fold view--good faith as well as ex- pediency and principle--will now be before the Colony for the first time. Now, with regard to this as a question of expediency and principle, it appears to me that practically my honourable friend who has spoken on this subject has abandoned any ground the Committee might have had for defending these rules, because I think it stands upon his admission that these rules go for very little. Whether he has abandoned such ground or not, it is a serious matter to put such a document as this report before the Colony in which the Governor is put forward as one who does not keep his word and breaks aith with those with whom he makes arrangements. When I look at this document I find it stated that Bishop BURDON, who knows the customs of the people, is put forward as in support of the onclusions arrived at, and, I apprehend, not on the question of principle but on the question of xpediency, or at all events, as much the latter as the former. I think the Colony would be interested i know what materials, what surmises, what facts there were before the Committee which induced them to come to the decision that it was desirable to have such a rule as this to prevent a conflict etween the lower strata of Chinese and Europeans. When those grounds bring them into collision with the Governor, and certainly with the clearly enunciated opinion of the Secretary of State, they are bound, I don't say according to law, but as men of common sense appealing to men of commen nse, they are bound to put forward some substantial materials which warrant them in coming to beir conclusion, and which render it necessary to insist on it, in spite of considerations which were put to them, as in the nature of good faith, and notwithstanding that it is represented to them that brings them into conflict with the principle that all Her Majesty's subjects should be treated on equal footing, and that it brings them clearly into conflict with the very modest proposal made the Secretary of State, a proposal which says, if it be proved expedient let it go, but give it a trial r six months. Well, it must have been a strong necessity, of which we are entitled to ask some sidence, which would bring the Committee into conflict with all these considerations, and lead the

refuse, as they have done positively, to reopen the question at all, as suggested by the Secretary of State. It is patent, under these circumstances, they have put themselves in one respect in the wrong. For that letter some more respectful attention than they seem to have bestowed upon it would have en becoming in any body of citizens in the Colony. But be that as it may, I merely wish to add few humble suggestions to those of my honourable friend Mr. RyRIE as to the course that appears be clearly open to the Committee with regard to the position they should take up. Unless they some substantial reason for insisting on these rules because expediency requires it, I should gest, on principle alone, and having regard to the suggestion of the Secretary of State, that they ght re-open the question and deal with the subject again. I only wish to add with regard to the pinions I have expressed about this matter, that it does appear to me that the principle that the in?se and European subjects of the Queen should be treated without distinction is one which it would become this Government to abandon by associating itself, as it would by continuing the grant, with

only body administering public monies in the Colony which continues this distinction.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11?u SEPTEMBER, 1880.

　　　The ACTING COLONIAL TREASURER.--Your Excellency, I entirely concur in the remarks of the Honourable the Attorney General, who has expressed himself in a most clear and moderate manner. I have myself taken a great interest in the City Hall, and, whenever I have been so requested, have been glad to assist the purposes of the Institution with a small donation. Consequently I have felt some what interested in the controversy which has taken place between the Government and the gentlemen who represent the Committee, but I had not been able to get much insight into the points of disagree. ment until I read the pamphlet which has been spoken of to-day, and with a copy of which I was doubtless favoured in consequence of my occasional donation. When I had read through that pamphlet I was asked by a friend what I considered the rights of the case. I naturally inquired if that pam- phlet contained all the documents by the light of which the Committee were supposed to come to a decision. On the one hand, I was told these were all the documents submitted to the Committee, and on the other, that some had been omitted.

　　　Under such circumstances I declined to give an opinion until I was able to have the whole case before me, an opportunity which I expected would most probably occur at this Meeting of Council. I can now as sure Your Excellency, as a member of this Council, that after the statement which Your Excellency has just made, and after listening to the reading of the documents which have been laid before the Council, and which I understand were in the hands of the City Hall Commitee, I am of opinion that no sensible man could have come to any other decision than that at which Your Excellency has arrived. I was in the Colony when the grant of the ground on which the City Hall stands was first made by Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL for the purposes of a Public Hall, and although I was not then in a position to take an active part in the arrangements for the erection of the Building, I well remember the great stress which the Governor laid on the public nature of the grant.

　　　I think the Committee are much to be blamed for not accepting the very reasonable compromise offered by the Secretary of State and coincided in by Your Excellency, namely, to throw the Library and Museum open to all nationalities, as an experiment, for a space of six months.

　　　The reason the Committee have offered for not accepting that suggestion is a most absurd one, and cannot for one moment be sustained, namely, that they fear that the indiscriminate opening of the Library and Museum to all classes will probably give rise to a collision between the lower classes of Chinese and the lower classes of Europeans. My experience of the lower class of Chinese is that they are better behaved as sight-seers than the lower class of almost any other nation, and the lower class of Europeans who frequent this Colony are not to be complained of in that respect save when they are. as we sometimes unfortunately see them, under the influence of drink.

　　　But if the Committee carry out their own regulations thoroughly no collision need occur, for in that case drunken and disorderly persons would not be allowed admission into the building, which is only intended for "decently dressed and properly behaved"

persons.

　　　Your Excellency, when the City Hall was first projected, the subscriptions towards its erection were limited to a comparatively few persons, but in course of time, when it was discovered that the building was no longer self-supporting and the Committee found themselves in want of funds for its maintenance, they sent round the hat and collected subscriptions from the general public.

　　　Their appeal was generously responded to. Some became annual subscribers, while others con- tented themselves in making a donation. This money was raised from all classes of the community. and from all nationalities, and a good deal was subscribed by Chinese.

　　　The building has, therefore, it may be said, passed out of the narrow limits of its original sub- scribers, to whom the Colony is very much indebted for its philanthropic inception, and is now and has been for some time supported by general subscription.

The City Hall is a more Public Institution at the present day than it ever was.

　　　Now as to the allegation of the Committee that the Library and Muscum are as free as Sir RICHARD MACDONNELL ever intended them to be, I can assure them that Chinese have made the complaint to me, when I have asked them if they have seen the latest novelty added to the Museum, that they have not been able to get in. I have added, "It is a free exhibition," to which has been made the reply. "It was not open for the admission of Chinese when I happened to be there." There are many Ch nese who only get an occasional holiday, and if when they go to the City Hall they find it close against them, they naturally consider it a hardship that they cannot obtain admission on the only opportunity which they may be able to obtain for the next six months. The same may be said Europeans when they come on shore and find the place only open for Chinese. The reason so little complaint is heard of these restrictive and exclusive regulations was that the Chinese in the Colony. were unaware that this was a public Institution. I hold that in making regulations which at times exclude Europeans and at others exclude Chinese from the Library and Museum, the Committee of the City Hall have violated the terms on which they received the grant for those Institutions, not only on behalf of the Chinese but also on behalf of Europeans.

...

707

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880.

Honourable W. KESWICK--I was only going to remark, a short time ago, that when the Museum was first started and became of any interest at all, very few Chinese came to it, and it was not until Dr. DENNYS and myself had devoted a great deal of time and attention to the creation of that Museum, that it was made attractive enough to the Chinese to induce them to come in numbers. In order to et the Chinese views in every way, we consulted the Chinese. We had them at meetings, we did . utmost to induce them to take an interest, to subscribe, to write to their friends in the country to apply articles of interest. We also wrote home. There was a pamphlet published and sent to mam- acturers and others to see if we could get donations for the Museum, and of the Chinese the principal en then in the Colony were invited to meet the Committee, and some did meet the Committee, with a view to frame rules which would meet the views of the Chinese and at the same time preserve order and regularity. As to any class or race distinction being intended, it was the most distant possible thought anyone who took an interest in the Muscum and spent money and a great deal of time in making the Museum useful to the community, and I regret exceedingly that Your Excellency has introduced race feeling into the matter. It is not fair to do so, and it lessens the value of the institution. The ambers of Chinese are so large that unless there were some regulation there would be difficulty in Chinese and Europeans being accommodated together. My honourable friend on the left (Mr. No CHOY) alluded to the roads and Public Gardens and other places. We know that in these places there is abundance of room, but it is hardly so in the Museum. At one time it was so full we had to take

in the verandah, and even now the place is very small, but it is a mistake to suppose there was any eling of race animating the Committee. It was purely a matter of order, to make the institution as stul as possible to all. No other feeling than the public good could have prompted the Committee, and by casting aspersions on the members of the Committee His Excellency fails to vindicate the policy he has pursued towards the City Hall.

HIS EXCELLENCY-I think it very likely, gentlemen, after the full and satisfactory discussion of to-day, the grant may yet be given for the Museum, because I have very little doubt the weighty remarks that fell from the trustee, my honourable friend Mr. RYRTE, and especially when he said, They should have the one notice for Library and Museum, namely, that they should be open and without payment to all decent and well behaved persons of every nationality without distinction," will be the opinion of all reasonable men interested in the City Hall.

The Bill was committed and passed, and the Council adjourned sine die.

HIS HONOUR THE CHIEF JUSTICE, SIR JOHN SMALE, TO THE HONOURABLE THE

ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

THE SUPREME COURT, HONGKONG, 13th September, 1880.

　　　　　　SiR,I beg to ask you to com.nunicate to His Excellency the Governor the expression of my regret that I did not attend the Meeting of the Legislative Council, which it was my duty to have attended.

I received the notice convening the Meeting when in Court attending to the arguments in a most important case.

　　　　　　　　　　　I glanced at it, and assuming that it was a continued Finance Committee Meeting, I gave no further thought to it, as it had been considered I ought not to attend such Meetings.

I regret my

absence, because I wish that I had expressed my adherence to the views I have always advocated in accordance with the opinion of the Secretary of State.

　　　　　　purpose at the next Meeting of the Legislative Council to ask that my absence may be excused, and shortly to say that I regret my absence, as I desired to have expressed my concurrence in the views

pressed by Mr. RYRIE and Mr. NG CHOY.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 28th March, 1879.

　　　　　　　Having placed in Mr. STEWART'S hands the despatch of Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, No. 15 of he 6th of February, 1879, he has read the decision of the Secretary of State on the various points especting Education in Hongkong raised in my despatches and Mr. STEWART's reports upon them.

2. Having thus before him the views of the Secretary of State on the resolutions of the Education onference, and on the question of raising the fees at the Central School, he will be able to let the Surveyor General know the probable number of pupils the new School should be built to accommodate, and thereupon, Mr. PRICE can, at once, prepare the final plans and estimates for approval.

　　　　　　　3. As to the future fees payable at the Central School, the Secretary of State thinks it might be ufficient to commence by raising the fifty cents fee to a dollar; but if Mr. STEWART should be of pinion that this increase is too much to begin with, I shall sanction (subject to the Secretary of State's approval) any other arrangement Mr. STEWART might prefer, so as not to materially diminish the number of his pupils.

　　　　　　　4. Any other modification in the future arrangement of the School that Mr. STEWART might lesire, shall also receive my most favourable consideration, as I believe the success of the School will nainly depend on leaving so able and experienced a Head Master as unfettered as possible in the arrangements and management of the institution.

SIR,—I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date requesting me. furnish your Department with the number of scholars for whom accommodation will be required the new Central School, together with any other details which I may deem indispensable:

　　I do not think I can do better than refer you to the Report of the Site Commission of which you and I were members. It was then agreed that accommodation would be required for 700 scholar and that consequently there should be 7 large class-rooms for 100 scholars each, with a smaller class. room for 40 scholars in connexion with each of the larger rooms.

Substituting therefore 700 for the 500 which appears at page 4 of the Report, I am still of opinion that the accommodation there detailed is necessary.

　　　I may add, however, that as regards item 6, I am still strongly of opinion that quarters should be provided for the Assistant Masters on the school premises. On this point I would refer paragraph 15, page 7 of the report, which still contains my views on this important matter..

LETER FROM SURVEYOR GENERAL TO ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.

SURVEYOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, 9th June, 1879.

SIR,----With reference to any delays that may have lately arisen, or that may yet arise, during this in the despatch of public business by this Department, and in explanation of what may ppear a want of promptness on my part in attending to the every day official matters referred to me Government, it is my duty to bring to the notice of His Excellency the Administrator the extra- linarily heavy press of work under which the Public Works Staff is labouring at the present moment a connexion with the Praya works.

2. The consequence of a typhoon in the present defenceless condition of the Praya would be so astrous that it is imperative for the present to subordinate all other description of work to the raising of the new sea-wall to such a height as will afford some degree of security to the houses in the event of a storm.

3. With this object every thing is being done, that lies in the power of this Department, to xpedite matters, but in spite of the untiring energy of the Assistant Surveyor General and the zeal f the four Overseers sent out from England, the works do not progress as rapidly as Mr. BOWDLER myself could wish, owing no less to the dilatoriness and want of system on the part of the chief contractor than to the natural delays and difficulties involved in so heavy a tidal work, and to the

upropitious season of the the year for out-door labour.

4. I may mention that since the tide work began last year Mr. BOWDLER and the four Overseers have not had one day's rest or relaxation; they have remained on duty in all weathers, every Sunday well as on Christmas day, Good Friday, the 24th of May and all other Governinent holidays, frequently remaining on the works during the hours of low tide until after midnight, and sometimes antil nearly daylight.

　　　　　　　5. I do not touch upon this with the intention of parading before His Excellency the merits of the Officers of this Department, but simply to show how practically and zealously the latter is

ndeavouring to minimize the dangers arising from a possible typhoon.

　　　　　　　6. In consequence therefore of what I have set forth I would request you to move His Excellency the Administrator to be good enough to approve of my postponing the elaboration of the Central School, Hospital and Stone Cutters' Island Gaol projects until the expiration of the yphoon season in September next, when, public anxiety being allayed, 1 may relax the pressure ander which the Praya reconstruction is being carried on, and thus be enabled to turn my undivided attention to the other works just enumerated.

His Excellency will be glad if you will make him a special report on this matter of the relative supply of water on that occasion as compared with other fires, as it is a point of considerable importance.

ACTING SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE BRIGADE TO COLONIAL SECRETARY.

MAGISTRACY, HONGKONG. 23rd April, 1879.

　　　　　　　SIR, In reply to your letter No. 430, of 15th April, 1879, calling for a report as to the present water supply compared with that of former years, I have the honour to state for His Excellency the Governor's information, that soon after the Fire Brigade was first established in 1868, forty subsidiary fire posts were selected at different points throughout the lower levels of the town;

the highest being, I think, in Bridges Street. At each of these posts a quantity of hose was kept, together with the necessary appliances for connecting it with the nearest hydrant, and turning on the water in case of fire. These articles were kept in the nearest shop, and one of the shopmen periodically instructed in their use.

On the Queen's Road and other streets near the sea level, the hydraulic pressure from the street plugs being sufficient to throw water over the highest houses, these stations were of great value; and fires were, ou several occasions, extinguished by a jet from the hydrant, before the arrival of the engines. As far as I remember, things were much in this state when I went on furlough in 1871. But on returning from leave, I found that, during my absence of eighteen months, the pressure on the mains had decreased to such an extent that it was no longer of much use for the purposes of fire extinction; and, besides this, the water was now so seldom turned on in the mains that the street plugs could not even be relied on for the small supply of fresh water necessary for the boilers of the steam engines.

I was informed by the then Acting Surveyor General that this change was caused by the large umber of new pipes connected with the mains for the supply of Chinese houses in different parts of the town. The dearth of water increased, and towards the end of 1873, by order of the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, the subsidiary posts were abandoned as useless, and the hoses returned to store.

For the last two or three years the hydrant supply has been so precarious, that even for supplying the boilers they are seldom resorted to until every other source has failed. By giving previous notice to the turncock, a good supply may be obtained from the street plugs in certain parts of the town, but in this case the delay is so great and the result so uncertain, that its utility is greatly curtailed for the purposes of this Department.

I have, &c.,

(Signed)

C. V. CREAGH, Acting Superintendent of Fire Brigade.

　　　　　　　Refer this to the Surveyor General, and ask him what steps he can take to restore the water supply to the state it was in a few years ago, as described by the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade.

714 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, IITH SEPTEMBER, 1880.

REPORT BY THE SURVEYOR GENERAL.

There is the same volume of water now as formerly, though, of course, the allowance per head of inhabitant has diminished by the increase of population since 1868. There was then, as Mr. CREAGH rightly observes, great pressure on the mains, whereas now there is none at all. This is owing to the practice which was followed, without due consideration, up to 1873, of indiscriminately granting permits to lay private water pipes to houses from the mains, instead of reserving the whole of the supply for the public hydrants, where every ratepayer, rich or poor, could have procured his daily provision on the same footing of equality, while the Government could have retained exclusive control over the pressure for cases of emergency like fire.

At present, the numberless house-pipes everywhere bleeding the mains make it impossible to restore to the latter their former pressure. The chief arteries are, in fact, in such a state of depletion, that, in order to enable the water to travel any distance, it becomes necessary to cut off the rest of the city, and to concentrate the whole of the force upon one particular district at a time; each district in its turn being assisted in this manner once during the 24 hours. Permits for house-supplies were stopped in 1873, too late to do any good, as enough of them had already been issued to work the present mischief, but as there is so much rebuilding and restoration of house property going on all over Victoria just now, I think the evil might be somewhat lessened in course of time by declining to re-grant permits to these new structures; this would be tantamount to calling back former permits issued to the old ones.

The Attorney General remarks that, in all equity, parties suffering from the fire should be restored as far as possible to their former position, which opinion would naturally meet, on general grounds, with everybody's concurrence; but on the other hand, it should also be weighed whether, on the ground of public expediency, and looking to the exhausted condition of the public hydrants, the Government might not properly avail itself of the opportunity to assist the latter by declining to renew the permits. It is probable that if we had had water enough on Christmas night, the fire would not have spread as it did.

But, of course, the remedy for all this is more water from fresh sources.

30th April. 1879.

J. M. PRICE,

Surveyor General.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

The Surveyor General's clear and practical report shows how this deficient water supply for fire brigade purposes has occurred.

　　　I agree with him that we must increase our water supply. Looking at present simply to the question of getting more water for extinguishing fires, I should be glad if he would confer with Mr. CREAGH, the Acting Head of the Fire Brigade, and the Honourable P. RYRIE (who has, from time to time, made valuable suggestions to the Government on this subject), and consider the possi bility of utilizing more than has hitherto been done the water in the harbour.

　　　　As the town of Victoria is built on a slope along the water's edge, it might be possible to construct fire brigade tanks on the upper levels, or to adopt other means for increasing the supply.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 10th September, 1879.

SIR,-In my despatch No. 122 of the 28th of December, 1878, I referred to the fact that I was considering some improvements that I thought necessary in the existing organization for extinguish ing fires in this Colony.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880. 715

　　　　　　　2. In addition to the correspondence and reports on the subject that had, from time to time, engaged the attention of my predecessors, I received valuable information from Mr. RYRIE and from Mr. CREAGH,the latter being the Acting Superintendent of the Fire Brigade Department; and within the last few days I have had an opportunity, owing to the courtesy of Mr. LITTLE, the Chairman of the Municipal Council of Shanghai, of meeting the Fire Brigade of that important town. and consulting the leading members, and the engineers in charge of the engines.

3. The general conclusions at which I have arrived, are as follows:-

(a.) That the supply of water for extinguishing fires in Hongkong is not sufficient.

(b.) That the Fire Brigade should be placed under the control of a skilled officer.

(c.) That a competent engineer should be obtained who would devote his whole time to

keeping the engines and other

apparatus in proper order.

(d.) That a larger number of permanently paid firemen should be employed.

(e.) That the system of using hydrants seems to be well suited for the greater part of the

town of Victoria.

　　　　　　4. As regards increasing the amount of water available for extinguishing fires, various sug- gestions have been made, such as having special reservoirs on the slopes above the town of Victoria, in which the surface water would be stored,-forming tanks into which the sea water might be pumped,--enlarging the Pokfoolum reservoirs,-and constructing a reservoir at Tai Tam. I am not, however, in a position to express an opinion at present on any of these plans.

　　　　　　　5. But I entertain no doubt as to the desirability of placing a thoroughly competent and well- paid officer at the head of the Fire Brigade Department, and the employment of a skilled engineer who would give his whole time to the work. I therefore venture to ask you to sanction the requisite additions to the Establishment Charges, to the extent of about onc thousand a year. There is no one in Hongkong that I could ask you to appoint to either of those offices, but I presume Captain SHAW, of the London Fire Brigade, if you thought proper to have him consulted on the subject, would be able to recommend two well-trained and capable officers.

6. I refrain from entering into further details until I know your decision on the question of these new appointments,--as the suggestions of the skilled officers that you might send out to the Colony would doubtless guide me very much in completing the final scheme to be submitted for your

consideration.

　　　　　　　7. I enclose for your information copies of some correspondence and reports as to the water supply for extinguishing fires, and some minutes of mine on the subject.

SIR,--With reference to my despatch No. 82 of the 10th of September, 1879, I have the honour to lay before you an extract from The Daily Press, reporting what passed when a deputation of the directors of two Fire Insurance Companies waited on me, on the 21st of September, to make certain suggestions respecting the reorganization of the Fire Brigade, and the supply of water for extinguishing fires.

　　　　　　　2. I had previously had more than one conference on those two questions with the leading Chinese householders and owners of property in Hongkong; and I had had the advantage of consulting the gentlemen who manage the Fire Brigade at Shanghai on some details of the system in force there.

3. On the whole. I am happy to find that there is a pretty general agreement in the conclusions

I had arrived at and communicated to you on the 10th of September last."

　　　　　　　4. In addition to the Minutes and Report I had then the honour of submitting to you, I now enclose

a Report signed by Mr. PRICE, the Surveyor General, Mr. RYRIE, the senior un-official mem- er of Council, and Mr. CREAGH, the Acting Head of the Fire Brigade, proposing a plan of intercon- ted tanks, to be placed on the upper levels of the town of Victoria, and a system of hydrants, by which fire engines would be no longer needed. This, in fact, is in accordance with a suggestion I brew out for the consideration of these gentlemen on the 1st of May, 1879.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11?? SEPTEMBER, 1880.

it into effect.

I have, &c.,

J. POPE HENNESSY.

(In C.S.O. No. 1171 of 1879.)

REPORT BY MESSRS. PRICE, RYRIE, AND CREACH.

The undersigned having met several times to discuss the question of the insufficiency of vater for the extinction of fires in Victoria, now submit, as the result of their deliberations, the project of high. level tanks and Fire Brigade mains, elaborated by the Surveyor General in the accompanying plans

and estimates.

　　　They are of opinion that the project would receive the support of the community, and that the outlay of fifty thousand dollars though large, is one which, after the experience of last Christmas Day, may properly be recommended to the Executive.

If the Tytam scheme for an increased water supply for general uses be not feasible, they consider that, looking to the danger of destruction which house property continues to incur, no time should be lost in securing a sufficient storage of water, at least for Fire Brigade purposes, and with reference to such a storage, they desire to point out that the present proposal of special Fire Brigade mains would be none the less desirable, even in the event of the realization of the Tytam scheme.

By the plan of inter-connected tanks, now submitted, it will be possible to concentrate six hundred and thirty thousand gallons on any fire between the Sailors' Home and the City Hall, and as the pressure on the proposed Fire Brigade mains will suffice to send a stream over the tops of the highest houses, the aid of fire-engines will not be required. These, however, would continue to play a most important part in pumping an additional supply from the sea.

　　　　The undersigned, however, can only recommend the project now submitted, on the assumption that the most jealous care will be taken to prevent any connection between the special Fire Brigade mains and the actual water-mains of the city, as such a connection would be fatal to the project, by destroying the pressure, which it should be sought to maintain intact at every fire-plug.

　　　　The undersigned avail themselves of this opportunity to call the attention of Government to the grave necessity of dredging the Praya foreshore at certain places already indicated by the Superintendent of the Fire Brigade, to a depth sufficient to admit of fire-engines being usefully employed during the

hours of low tide.

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH TO GOVERNOR J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

DOWNING STREET,

19th December, 1879.

　　　　SIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 82 of the 10th Sep- tember, in which you request my sanction to an addition of ?1,000 to the Establishment charges of the Fire Brigade, with the view of securing the services of a competent Superintendent and a competent Engineer, and of your despatch No. 93 of the 22nd October, in which you suggest that a sum of $50,000 should be expended on providing a system of interconnected tanks and of hydrants.

　　　　2. The information before me has not appeared to me to be sufficient to justify me in taking steps for procuring the services of the 2 officers specified, and I am disposed to think that were the scheme suggested in the latter of your two despatches to be carried out, it would be possible to diminish instead of to increase the establishment of the Fire Brigade.

　　　　3. I am not however prepared, as at present advised, to sanction from public funds the large ex- penditure which would be caused by the adoption of the proposed system of hydrants, and I am disposed to think that the burden of providing against fires in the town of Victoria, is one which should be borne by the Insurance Companies, which I infer from your despatches do not now cont?bute towards the extinction of fires, and by the householders, rather than directly by the Government.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880. 717

4. From Sections 13 to 21 of the Imperial Act, 28 and 29 Vic., Cap. 90, it will be seen that the Metropolitan Fire Brigade is supported primarily by the Insurance Companies, supplemented by a fixed

overnment grant, any defect that may exist being made up by the local rates.

　　　　　　　　5. This, it appears to me, should be the model to be followed in Hongkong, and I shall be glad to know whether

you would propose to make provision for the suggested increase in expenditure by mposing further rates on dwelling houses, by causing the Insurance Companies to pay license fees, or raising money, as in London, by a contribution in proportion to the amounts insured by them. 'pon receiving such information I shall be in a better position to judge of the whole subject.

SANITARY STATE OF THE GAOL (1877-1878) AND THE DRY EARTH SYSTEM.

EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE GAOL COMMITTEE LAID BEFORE HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR SIR ARTHUR KENNEDY, K.C.M.G.

　　　The Superintendent and Warden have called the attention of the Committee to the vitiated state of the air in the wards in the early morning caused by the stench proceeding from the night buckets. It is not easy to suggest a complete remedy as there is great difficulty in procuring mould in Hong kong. The soil of the Island, ? sort of laterite or disintegrated granite, does not absorb the urice, well or deodorise it so thoroughly as mould. The great point, however, seems to be that the earth of whatever kind (except clay) should be dry and well sifted; when mixed with a small quantity of the common carbolic acid it would, it is believed, mitigate the nuisance.

ENQUIRIES ON HIS EXCELLENCY'S VISIT TO THE GAOL, 26TH MAY 1877.

　　　　I find from the records that in July 1874, on the recommendation of Mr. TONNOCHY, a number of wooden Closets were put up in the Cells with a view to introducing the earth system, which I am? informed was tried for a short time, but owing to a difficulty in procuring suitable carth and getting the prisoners to use it, the system was abandoned.

Mr. SCUDDER, the Head Turnkey, tells me that during the short time the dry earth system was being tried the smell in the Corridors was more offensive than it had been before.

The old system was reverted to, viz.: a wooden bucket with a close fitting cover is provided for each Cell which the prisoners use at night-the contents are removed in the morning by the Govern ment scavenger. During the day time the prisoners go to the latrines provided in the five Upper Yards, but those employed in the Lower Yard use the buckets, which are emptied every morning.

Female prisoners use buckets day and night, which are emptied into the drain running through the Yard.

　　　　Prisoners confined in the Remand or Debtors' Ward or in solitary or separate confinement use the buckets both day and night.

(Signed)

GEO. L. TOMLIN, Acting Superintendent.

MINUTE BY THE COLONIAL SURGEON.

Nothing can be done here on the dry earth system, as the proper soil cannot be procured in the Island or none at hand, so that the expense would be very great. The same system is pursued a!! through the town. In the Chinese quarter proper tubs are under every bed and only emptied once in 2 to 5 days; the average being 3 days. There is no choice but to procure earth from a great distance to use charcoal or make water closets; all of those systems would be a great expense.

The stench in the Warden's Quarters at times in the hot weather is sickening, and the previou Warden's health suffered very much in

much in consequence.

　　　　　　I fear the Colonial Surgeon is not as fully alive as he should be to the grave consequences of owing the existing system of Gaol latrines to continue.

　　　　　Under the present system, a solitary case of cholera or of typhoid fever in the crowded and badly ated Gaol of Hongkong, might speedily destroy a large proportion of the Community.

Nor is the danger confined to that part of the Town of Victoria (the centre of the European. arter) where the Gaol is situated. On proceeding towards the place (Lap-sap-wan, West end of ictoria District) where the contents of the prisoners' tubs are ultimately deposited, I found the stench , great as to be offensive outside a radius of an eighth of a mile.

　　　　　　　I am not disposed to allow this to continue till some calamity compels the responsible officials to rry out the instructions given more than once by the Secretary of State on this subject.

An abundance of proper earth can be obtained (especially from the neighbourhood of the Wong- -chung Valley) for the Gaol.

Means must at once be taken for collecting, kiln-drying and properly sifting this earth, and using according to the printed instructions which accompanied the Secretary of State's despatch of 2nd ecember, 1867.

　　　　　　SIR,--I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter No. 389 of the 7th instant, and. eply regret to think that His Excellency the Governor should think I am not fully alive to the evils ferred to.

2. In 1875, partly at my instance, an attempt was made to put the dry earth system into operation the Victoria Gaol. During the time it was on trial and apparently working satisfactorily, I was tacked with typhoid fever, and was subsequently absent for some months on sick leave. Before my turn the dry carth system had been abandoned as impracticable, for what valid reason I was never ble to discover.

3. Dr. MOUAT, the inspector General of Gaols, mentioned in the Indian Report as one of the omoters of the dry earth system in India, being a personal friend of inine, I have been able to obtain. om him the results of its success, and these results I have been able to verify for myself when I was

charge of Indian Gaols and Hospitals.

4. At the same time, I may perhaps point out that being only consulting physician of the Victoria aol. I have myself no practical means of putting in practice the dry earth system in that Establish- ent, and that my duties in regard to it are limited to indicating to its Superintendent whatever

itary measures may occur to me from time to time desirable.

5. I am however by no means desirous on this account to limit myself to giving good advice, and would be glad to assist His Excellency the Governor practically, and in any way which the Govern- ut may wish, in the work of Sanitation. On this matter I would respectfully invite the attention of is Excellency to the sanitary portion of my Annual Report, which deals with a variety of subjects, quiring reform.

6. In applying the dry earth system to the Victoria Gaol or any other Public Building, I would ngly recommend, in spite of the increased expense, the use of some other earth than that obtainable the Island, as its deodorising qualities, from the prevalence of quartz, are extremely feeble.

In his reply of the 29th of May, he gives his reasons for thinking that nothing could be done to carry out the dry earth system in the Hongkong Gaol: though he admits that even in the Warden's Quarters, the stench is, at times, sickening; and that the previous Warden's health suffered much in consequence.

　　　In my Minute of the 6th of June, I pointed out that, under the present system, a solitary case of cholera or typhoid fever in the crowded and badly situated Gaol of Hongkong might speedily destroy a large proportion of the Community, and I directed proper steps to be taken, without any unnecessary delay, for establishing the dry earth system.

There will be in fact no real difficulty in getting this system into operation in the Gaol. Gentle- men who have also resided here for many years, tell me they have used the system with complete success and with not more trouble than in other places.

　　　2. In my despatch No. 34 of the 14th of June, I laid before Your Lordship copies of some Minutes on the defective sanitary arrangements of the Gaol, in one of which, dated 29th May 1877, the Colonial Surgeon, Dr. AYRES, said:-

　　　"The stench in the Warden's Quarters at times in the hot weather is sickening, and the previous Warden's health suffered very much in consequence."

　　　3. On referring to the papers on which Mr. GREY was pensioned, I find the Medical Officer of the prison certifying that the Warden had been continually suffering from intermittent fever and bowel complaints; being the diseases that in my experience of hospitals and prisons are generally traceable to the want of such sanitary arrangements as the dry earth system.

　　　4. I also transmitted to Your Lordship a copy of the instructions I felt it to be my duty to issue (after some preliminary Minutes) on the 6th of June to the Acting Superintendent of the Prison and to the Colonial Surgeon directing that means should be taken at once for establishing the dry garth system in the Prison.

　　　　　　　6. I have asked for some explanation of what seems to have been an unnecessary delay in carry- ing out an urgent and not very difficult reform; but I apprehend it will not be necessary to take any further notice of it, as I now learn that in two or three days after my enquiry of the 28th of July the practical result was actually accomplished, by the commencement of the dry earth system; and it is at this moment in operation in the Gaol.

SIR-With reference to the "dry earth system" in Victoria Gaol, which up to the present time has worked satisfactorily, the earth having been supplied by the Surveyor General's Department, I have the honour to state that the last supply is exhausted and that more is urgently required.

　　　　　　In answer to my requisition to the Surveyor General's Department on the 1st January, I was informed by Mr. BOWDLER that "from the first of the current year dry earth would be provided by the Gaol Department," and as there are no records in the Gaol office to show that any arrangement had been made on the subject, I have the honour to request that I may be informed how the earth will be provided.

　　　　The dry earth system is not carried out in the female ward and all the yards and Turnkeys' and guards' closets. It is in force in all the cells and body of the Gaol. Partly carried out in tubs by five coolies, and partly emptied down a drain. The Surveyor General has been communicated with on the subject, and this morning all the contents of the buckets were taken away by ten coolies. Wi.en the system is in force all through the Gaol, more coolies will be required.

DR. O'BRIEN AND MR. WODEHOUSE.

　　　　We think it right to state in connection with our report that, in describing the order which we found, we refer more particularly to the actual discipline of the prisoners, and there are one or two matters foreign to this to which we would take the opportunity to draw attention.

This is

　　　1. It appears that for a very long time past the night-soil contractor for the time being has been the habit of supplying so few coolies for taking away the night-soil, that when the regulation time in which this work has to be completed is expired, much still remains to be taken away. disposed of by emptying it into the drain which connects with the drain in Old Bailey Street. At the present time as much as two-thirds of the Gaol night-soil is so disposed of, and moreover the dry earth is thrown into the drain with the excrement. There are now only five night-soil coolies for the whole of the Gaol, and this at a time when the introduction of the dry earth system renders necessary a larger number than formerly.

　　　　2. We observe that the dry earth system has not yet been introduced into the female prisoners" wards nor into any of the yards.

3. Having examined the blankets supplied to the Chinese prisoners, we beg to express our opinion that in weather such as that now prevailing one blanket is quite insufficient, and we would strongly recommend that, if only for the sake of putting a stop to the prisoners in each cell all huddling them- selves up together in a heap as they do now, two blankets be allowed to each prisoner, and not to those only under sentence of solitary confinement by the Supreme Court.

4. It is perhaps so obvious as not to require special comment, that were it possible to detain debtors elsewhere than in the body of the Gaol, it would be very desirable that it should be done." There would no longer then be the anomaly of an entire ward being occupied sometimes not at all, and at no time by more than four or five, while the rest of the Gaol is inconveniently crowded. Nor does it appear to us ought there to be anybody confined in the body of the Ghol not wearing Gaol uniform.

In my Minute on the morning report of the 18th of January, I asked for information on these subjects, as I had heard from Captain DEMPSTER and Dr. O'BRIEN that the supply of blankets was in- sufficient and the dry earth system not properly carried out.

Let a proper supply of blankets be ordered; and a sufficient number of coolies be employed for the removal of the poudrett?.

How long has the system of emptying any of the night-soil into the drains been in existence?

GOVERNMENT HOUSE. HONGKONG, 23rd July 1878.

　　　　　　　SIR,--On visiting the Hongkong Gaol on the 22nd instant I noticed an improvement in the sanitary arrangements as contrasted with those described in my despatches to Lord CARNARVON, No. 34 of 14th of Junc, and No. 80 of the 1st of August 1877. ·

　　　　　　　　2. In the Report of the Gaol Committee of April 1876 (transmitted by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY in his despatch No. 40 of the 28th of February 1877) they refer to the vitiated state of the air from the night buckets. The Colonial Surgeon had admitted that this was the cause of the frequent attacks of llness which ultimately led to the retirement of the late Warden, Mr. GREY: but owing to the supposed lifficulties in the way of getting a proper supply of dry earth in Hongkong, the obvious remedy had not unfortunately been applied. A part of the night-soil was usually conveyed to the western end of the town and deposited in pits adjoining Belchers Bay, but a considerable portion was simply flung into a sewer that ran beneath the centre of the Gaol, and from which open gratings communicated with the Gaol yards.

　　　　　　　3. I put a stop to the system of depositing night soil near Belchers Bay, and by having a kiln constructed for baking dry earth I was able to provide a supply of deodorizing material sufficient not only for the Gaol but for all the Government establishments.

　　　　　　　4. After nearly a year's trial of the system of conservancy, I have now the satisfaction of being able to report that, though Hongkong Gaol is almost as crowded with prisoners as it was in 1876,-there is not a trace of vitiating air arising from the cause referred to by the Gaol Committee.

5. Mr. HAYWARD, the new Warden, and Mr. COLES, the new head turnkey, say they never saw the dry earth system more efficiently carried out, and that in this respect they find Hongkong Gaol a

model of cleanliness.

　　　MR. AUSTIN,-It occurs to me that before the Estimates are finally closed it might be possib!, for Mr. RENNIE and the gentlemen having the management of the City Hall to shew cause for granting a small sum in aid of the Institution, so far as the latter, by its Museum and Library, may be held to offer advantages of a valuable kind to the public.

large

　　　It is very desirable that a person acquainted with such things should be early appointed as Li. brarian and Curator of the Museum, which latter, if well fitted up, would soon attract to it a collection of interesting objects.

The fittings for a Museum are not, however, an easy whilst they are certainly a costly matter. These things will require time, which is passing rapidly.

　　　I am anxious to help any scheme likely to secure a Museum and Library at the City Hall, managed on liberal terms and such as may fairly entitle the Institution to a grant from the Colony. Hongkong has quite a sufficient tendency already towards the almighty dollar. It would do the Com- munity good to give them a slight "list over" the other way.

LETTER OF MR. RENNIE, CHAIRMAN OF THE CITY HALL COMMITTEE, TO THE COLONIAL SECRETARY.

HONGKONG, 2nd October, 1868.

SIR,-His Excellency the Governor having been pleased to make enquiries as to the public nature of the Institutions comprised in the City Hall, I have the honour to state on behalf of the City Hall Committee, that the building, which is now nearly completed, has been erected at great cost by means of funds raised by public subscription, and that its sole object is to provide accommodation for various public purposes which have hitherto been neglected. ·

　　　As His Excellency is doubtless aware, the scheme was originated, in 1861, for the purpose of supplying a want long felt here, of some large room or hall in which the public could come together for discussing questions of general interest. This scheme then became enlarged, and a Library and Museum were agreed to be added; for the former of which some valuable collections of books already existed in the Morrison Library and Asiatic Society's Library. These books were being destroyed for want of proper accommodation, and when re-bound and put in order will form a good nucleus around which, it is hoped, a comprehensive library will, ere long, be grouped.

The Museum is an institution urgently required in every large civilized town, and with the empires of China and Japan, about which so little is yet known, so close to us, we think such a institution here likely to be of great public benefit.

　　　The remainder of the edifice consists of assembly rooms, a room for meetings of the Chamber of Commerce, and a hall for dramatic representations; in fact, the building is just such a one as, if ? Municipality had been in existence here, would have been erected for Municipal purposes.

The management of the Institution is intended to be conducted on the most liberal footing. Th public benefit was the object with which the money was subscribed, and that is the object it is intendi to keep in view.

　　　The very munificent subscriptions by which the undertaking has been forwarded will be exhaustel on the completion of the building, and considering the depressed state of trade, and that nearly all thos now here are already contributors, we foresee much difficulty in providing for the fittings requisite te permit the Institution at once to enter on the sphere of its usefulness.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH SEPTEMBER, 1880. 729

A grant of, say, five thousand dollars, or the promise of it, from the Colonial Government would enable the Committee immediately to commence the preparations of the fittings for the most urgently quired parts of the building, and thus have them ready by January or February next, when the building will be otherwise ready for opening.

　　　　　　　　The other point raised in His Excellency's memo., of the early necessity for the appointment of a Librarian and Curator of the Museum, the Committee fully coincide in, and feel that it will be quite necessary to obtain the services of some such person within the next two or three months, pro- Vided only that they can see their way to defraying the requisite salary, which, in order to secure a competent individual, could hardly be less than $1,200 to $1,500 per annum.

Having fully demonstrated that the City Hall is intended as a public Institution, and it being enerally recognised, as His Excellency is also willing to do, that such Institutions have claims on the public monies, the Committee trust that a grant in aid of the fittings, and a small annual contri- bution towards the working expenses, may be placed on the Estimates for 1869, now in course of being laid before the Legislature.

The Honourable J. G. AUSTIN,

Colonial Secretary.

I have, &c.,

W. H. RENNIE,

On behalf of the City Hall Committee.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

MR. AUSTIN,This memorandum omits to answer my principal inquiry, which I shall now put in plain words. Are the Museum and Library to be managed on liberal terms, and, if so, on what? Is any subscription to be necessary to entitle any member of the Community who behaves him- self quietly and is decently dressed, to visit the Museum and Library and even to read in the latter. place, as is the case in Melbourne, where one of the noblest institutions in the world is free to all the world?

If perfect freedom of access is not to be allowed, as is probable, what are to be the restrictions?

R. G. MACDONNELL.

3rd October, 1868.

REPLY OF THE CITY HALL, COMMITTEE.

The whole of the arrangements upon which the City Hall is to be managed have not been definitely fixed, but there never has, I believe, been any thought of having the admission to the Museum and Library otherwise than perfectly gratuitous, and open, as His Excellency states, to all well-dressed and well-behaved persons.

W. H. RENNIE,

On behalf of the City Hall Committee.

3rd October, 1868.

MINUTE BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.

MR. AUSTIN,-As this expenditure is regularly provided for in the Estimates of the current year, see no objection to payment of the money to the Trustees, as requested by Mr. RENNIE.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TM SEPTEMBER, 1880.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Hydrographic Notice is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th September, 1880.

765

FREDERICK STEWART,

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. 22.)

RED SEA.

　　　　　　The following information (lately published by the British Hydrographic Office) has been derived from reports ceived from officers of II.M. ships, and other sources, 1878-80.

[All Bearinge are Magnetic. Variation 44° Westerly in 1880.]

　　　　　　　SUEZ BAY.-On the north shore of Suez bay, a leading light is established to lead through the deep water hannel westward of Newport rock, and the channel near the Spit buoy; thence to the anchorage in about 5 fathoms

water :-

　　　　　　　The light is a fixed white light, elevated 40 feet above the sea, visible through an arc of 1410, or between the bearings v. 101° E., and N. 44° W., and should be seen in clear weather from a distance of about 10 miles. Over the bay and its pproaches, through on are of 34530, the light is obscured, and the obscuration covers Kal-el-Kabireh shoal, and the Spit

buoy.

The light is shewn from a mast (upper part for about 20 feet painted black) above a white dwelling; placed on the llowing bearings, namely:-South dock head, port Ibraliam (Observation spot), S.S.E., E. Newport rock light-vessel, S. E. S., Kal-el-Kabireh shoal beacon, S. by W. W., W., At?kah quarry, S.W. W., W.

Directions. Approaching from the southward, this leading light should be kept just upon westward of Newport- tock light-vessel, and be steered for, passing the Newport rock light-vessel at the distance of about 2 cables; the leading

ght must then be kept in sight till the Spit buoy is passed.?

NOTE-The light-vessel formerly placed off Kadd-el-Marakeb was moored off Newport rock in December 1873.

　　　　　　　SAWAKIN.-The entrance to the port is now marked by three stone beacons, namely, two on the starboard hand atering, and one on the port hand. All the buoys which formerly marked the channel have been removed.§

Anchorage.-II.M.S. Cyclops, in 1859, anchored to the north-eastward of Quarantiue island (on which is the hservation spot) in 9 fathoms mud, with Sheik Abdullah tomb bearing S. 4 W.; this is the widest berth in the port. The holding ground is not good in the channel north of Quarantine island.

H.M.S. Philomel, in 1879, anchored off the Custom-house between Saw?kin island and Quarantine island, in 5 fathoms ud and sand, with the vessel's stern hauled in and secured to two guns, which are situated a short distance eastward of The Custom-house: there the channel is 500 feet wide.

SHERM DUMEIGH or SHERM DEMEREH was examined in 1878 by Commander W. H. C. Selby, .M.S. Vestal, from whose remarks the following description is derived :--|

Sherm Dumeigh, a bay with a narrow entrance open to the south, is about half a mile deep, and half a mile broad. The available anchoring space is small; the width between the 5-fathoms lines of sounding (inshore of which, the water oals rapidly) is only a cable, and the extreme length of the sheltered part is 3 cables. The entrance between the fringing ges of Twigg and South points is one cable wide.

The anchorage is secure in 9 to 13 fathoms, with good holding ground, soft sand and coral. It is well sheltered, the #estern side of the harbour being land-locked. In the north-west corner of the harbour the deep water extends to within 4 yards of the beach.

The Vestal anchored opposite the entrance, which would probably be a safe berth during most of the year.

Directions. In approaching the Sherm either from the north or south, keep well off shore outside all danger, until Jebel Autar, 3,733 feet high, bears E. by N. N. On this bearing will be seen also four or five remarkable pyramid-shaped and hills near the beach, to the southward of Jebel Antur. Steer for the mountain on that bearing until within a mile of the shore, thence to the northward for the entrance of the Sherm, which may easily be recognised by a remarkable hill ith a rugged peak, named Punch's Cap; steer for this hill on a N.E. course until a conspicuous white rock on the beach seen. With the hill and white rock in line, bearing N.E., proceed slowly as the entrance is neared, until North rock. just open to the left of Asses Ears N. E.; then alter course sharply to port, and keep about half a cable distant from e shore on the port hand. East bluff bearing S.E.4 E. leads clear of the shoals on either side.

Vessels entering for the first time should send a boat ahead and mark the channel, as there are some steep and dangerous tches near the centre of the harbour. The best time to enter is when the sun is high or astern and at low water, when the reefs will be distinctly visible.

Excepting a few scrub bushes there is no vegetation. No water can be obtained at Dumeigh; nor are there any signs

of habitation.

The nearest village is 6 miles distant, and contained about 40 people, who were unwilling to part with provisions of any kind.

ELIZA REEF.—A reef on which the British steam-ship Arethusa stranded in 1879, is reported, on the authority of Lloyd's agent at Jiddah, to lie N. by E. 6 miles distant from ?b? Far?mish.*

The position given is near the north entrance to the channel between Eliza shoals and the mainland, and about 46 miles to the northward of Jiddah.

　　　JIDDAH.?—Erg-el-Allem reef has 9 feet least water, the shoalest part-a pinnacle-being near the north-east ?end. The reef is said to be growing and extending in a northerly direction.?

　　　Buoys. The only buoy in the harbour in position (March 1880) was the red buoy off the south end of Burri reef the others have either been washed away or removed. The tanks marking the boat passage from the inner anchorage to the town have been washed away.

The beacons in this harbour are easily distinguishable 3 miles distant; to a stranger they appear like boats under sail. MARINE SURVEy Department, Calcutta, 12th July 1880.

No. 19 of 1880.

INNER ANCHORAGE, FLAT-TOP ISLAND.

Two White Beacons are now placed on East Point, which, when kept in line, lead clear of the reef running out to the northward of Flat-top Island. Two similar Beacons are also placed on the S.W. end of Flat-top Island, which, when in line, lead clear of, and to the westward of the Reef off Flat-top. These Beacons will be lit up at night, when necessary.

Directions by Day-Masters of vessels intending to anchor to the westward of Flat-top, should bring the White Beacons on East Point in line bearing W.4S.; steer with these in line until two other Beacons on Flat-top are al brought in line bearing S.E., then haul up and steer S. by W. until the Lighthouse on Flat-top bears S.E.; a vessel car then anchor in not less than 18 feet at low water springs. Coasters or steamers of light Iraught can proceed a little clos? in, where they will get better shelter during south-easterly gales.

By Night.-Bring the two lights on East Point in line, and keep them in that position until a light on the S.W. en! of Flat-top Island opens out; then proceed as by day.

BAY OF BENGAL-COROMANDEL COAST.

MADRAS.

Changes in the Buoyage of the Port.

791

With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 27, issued from this Department on the 21st August 1879, it is further notified that, owing to the continual extension of the harbour piers into deep water, and in order to permit of a greater space being available for steamers inside the harbour piers, it has become necessary to remove the large red buoy which Etherto marked the western limit of the anchorage for steamers.

Commanders of steamers are warned by the Marine Authorities at Madras not to anchor between the piers in less than 5 fathoms at low water; and that when anchoring in this depth, they will do so on their own responsibility, and with the exercise of care and judgment.

All sailing vessels, excepting dhonies, should anchor in or beyond the 8-fathom line of soundings, and outside the northern and southern port buoys.

The port buoys are painted red and white vertically, and are anchored in 8 fathoms. These buoys are danger buoys, and Commanders of vessels making or leaving the anchorage are hereby warned not to pass inshore of either of them, nor come under 9 fathoms by night.

The northern buoy marks the position which will form the extreme end of the north pier.

Vessels are on no account to venture between the northern buoy and the north pier, nor between the southern buoy and the south pier, as the rubble bases of both piers extend much further seaward than the piers themselves.

By Direction of the Government of India,

A. DUNDAS TAYLOR, Comdr. (late I. N.,)

Superintendent, Marine Survey of India.

I have the honour to transmit to you, for your information, copies of amended Regulations relating to the remission of duties in the Colonies on articles imported for the use of Her Majesty's Troops.

These Regulations have been drawn up by the War Office after considering all the suggestions made in reply to my Predecessor's Circular, and they will be promulgated on the 1st of August.

1464

147. In Foreign Possessions of the Crown, the Senior Commissariat Officer will apply to the Colonial Government for the remission of duties on supplies of every description, imported or supplied by sea or inland carriage or navigation, for the public, use of Her Majesty's Forces, whether the duties are imposed by Acts of the Imperial Parliament, or of the Colonial L?gislatures.

148. When articles ordinarily liable to duty are supplied under contract for the use of the troops, the following course will be pursued, except in those Colonies where the steps indicated in paragraph 151 are taken :-

(a.) The Senior Commissariat Officer will cause a statement to be prepared detailing the articles to be imported, and specifying the vessel in which they have arrived or will arrive.

(b.) He will forward this statement to the proper Custom House Officer, and obtain

authority thereon for the admission of the supplies free of duty.

(c.) He will then hand over the statement to the Commissariat Officer who is to receive the supplies, in order that he may deliver the same to the Collector of Customs at the port where the goods are to be landed. The Commissariat Officer will give a receipt in duplicate for the articles delivered to him under the superintendence of the Officers of Customs.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9?? OCTOBER, 1880.

　　　　　149. These regulations are not intended to sanction the importation of any goods from places or in vessels not authorized by law. No greater quantity of goods than shall be mentioned in the statement laid before the Senior Commissariat Officer, will be landed without his previous sanction; and all articles imported for the purpose of being supplied under contract for the use of the troops will be liable to the same examination and form of entry as goods imported in due course of trade, and will be landed-only in the usual hours of business, and in the presence of an Officer of the Customs, except in cases of emergency, and by special order of the Governor, which will be obtained by the Senior Commissariat Officer as directed in paragraph 52.

150. With the view of preventing articles which have been imported duty free for the use of Her Majesty's troops from being brought into general consumption without the payment of duty, the following course will be pursued:-Heads of Departments will furnish the Senior Commissariat Officer with quarterly certificates of the articles and quantities imported duty free which have been actually used or retained for army service, and the Senior Commissariat Officer will forthwith apprise the Officers of the Customs of the particular quantities and the description of the articles returned to Contractors, or sold, or otherwise not used or retained for army service, in order that they may be enabled to levy and claim the duty thereon.

　　　　　151. In Colonies where, instead of allowing the free importation of articles for the use of the troops, a rebate of duty is granted, Heads of Departments will furnish to the Senior Commissariat Officer quarterly certificates of the articles and quantities actually used for army service on which duty is to be repaid, in order that he may take the necessary steps for obtaining rebate. In the case of articles provided under contract, these certificates will be given to the Contractors to enable them to claim the rebate direct.

　　　　　　　2. A report will be made upon receipt of this circular at each foreign station, specifying what articles ordinarily used in the service are subject to customs duty under the laws of the Colony, and which of the two courses referred to in these regulations is followed to secure the remission of the duty on them.

　　　　　　　3.. At stations where rebate of duty on articles supplied under contract has hitherto been credited to Army Funds, the certificates referred to in paragraph 151 will not be given to the Contractors until new contracts are made providing for the Contractors obtaining the rebate.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9?H OCTOBER, 1880.

If any ship of war or merchant-vessel of one of the Contracting Parties should be stranded or wrecked upon the coasts of the territories of the other, such ship or vessel, and all parts thereof, and all furniture and appurtenances belonging thereunto, and all goods and merchandize saved therefrom, including any which may have been cast into the sea, or the proceeds thereof, if sold, as well as all papers found on board such stranded or wrecked ship or vessel, shall be given up to the owners or their agents when claimed by them from the officers or functionaries, British or Rou- manian, who may be, by the laws and orders of the Governments of their respective countries, entrusted with the protection, preservation, and custody of shipwrecked property. If there are no such owners or agents on the spot, then the said ship, and the above-named things and appurten- ances, shall be delivered by the above-named officers or functionaries to the British or Roumanian Consul- General, Consul, Vice-Consul, or Consular Agent in whose district the stranding or wreck may have taken place, upon being claimed by him within the period fixed by the laws of the country; and such Consular functionaries, owners, or agents shall pay only the expenses incurred in the pre- servation of the property, together with the salvage or other expenses which would have been payable in the like case of the stranding or wreck of a national vessel.

　　　It is, however, agreed that when the owner of the goods or merchandize, or his agent, not being present on the spot, shall be a native of the country in which the stranding or wreck may take place, and resident therein, the goods or merchandize which may belong to him, or the produce thereof, if sold, shall not remain in the power of the Consular functionaries, but shall be deposited according to the laws of the said country, in order to be handed over to whomsoever they may belong by right.

　　　The goods and merchandize saved from the wreck shall be exempt from all duties of Customs, unless cleared for consumption, in which case they shall pay the same duties that they would have to pay if they had been imported in a national vessel.

　　　In the case of a vessel being driven in by stress of weather, stranded, or wrecked, the respective Consuls-General, Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and Con- sular Agents shall, if the owner or master, or other agent of the owner is not present, or is present and re- quires it, be authorized to interpose in order to afford the necessary assistance to their fellow-countrymen.

　　　The intervention of the local authorities, when the owners, their agents, the captain, or the Con- sular functionaries are present, shall only take place for the purpose of maintaining order, of furthering the action of those persons, and of ensuring the execution of the rules to be observed for the entry and exit of the goods and merchan- dize saved, and for the realization of the duties when payable.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20?H NOVEMBER, 1880.

THE HONGKONG IRISH FAMINE RELIEF FUND, 1880.

　　　The following Report of the final meeting of the Hongkong Committee of the Irish Famine Relief Fund is taken from the Hongkong Daily Press.

PRESENTATION OF TESTIMONIALS.

A special meeting of members of the Local Committee which raised the Irish Famine Relief Fund was held on Saturday afternoon (13th November) at Government House, having been summoned by the Honourable P. RYRIE for the express purpose of presenting testimonials to the Honorary Treasurer and the Honorary Secretary of the Committee. The testimonials consisted of two handsome claret jugs of silver, with suitable inscriptions, and had been privately subscribed for by members of the Committee.

　　　The meeting opened by a brief address from Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, in which he dwelt upon the success of the Hongkong Committee. In a small Colony, he said, with a population of less than 150,000, they had collected ?7,359 3s. 4d. sterling, and this sum had been accounted for by remittances to the Duchess of Marlborough of ?4,359 3s. 4d.; to Mr. GRAY, M.P., the Lord Mayor of Dublin, of ?2,000; and to Mr. KENNEDY, the Mayor of Cork, of ?1,000. The expenses connected with providing collection books, messengers, and so forth, as well, of course, as the silver jugs now about to be given to the Honorary Treasurer and Secretary, were privately met by some members of the Committee. Comparing the population of the Colony and the annual revenue with the population and revenue of other Colonies, the proportion contributed by Hongkong is relatively greater than the contributions sent to Ireland from any other Colony. Applying the same test, population and public revenue, the seven thousand pounds sent from this small island constituted a far larger contribution, comparatively speaking, than the thirty-five thousand pounds raised by the Lord Mayor of London or all the generous contributions from the United States. Those were facts on which the Committee and the community of Hongkong may be congratulated. But still more did he congratulate them on the infinitely more important fact that the world-wide movement in which they had taken a little part had been entirely successful. Unlike all preceding calamities of this kind in Europe, India, or China, the loss of the crops in Ireland was so promptly met by benevolent action that not a single death from starvation occurred; distress had not merely been alleviated but a famine prevented. The same energy and business-like capacity that was shown by those entrusted with the administration of the various funds in Ireland was seen here in their popular Treasurer, Mr. JACKSON, and their painstaking Secretary, Mr. STARKEY. His countrymen in the county of Armagh were no doubt grateful to Mr. JACKSON, and they might well be proud of him too, on knowing the unrivalled position he has won by his ability and character in this great emporium of Eastern commerce. As the Governor of this Colony and as Chairman of the Committee, His Excellency said he had the greatest pleasure in presenting the

testimonial to Mr. JACKSON.

Mr. JACKSON said he gladly accepted the handsome gift presented to him, although he had done no more than his duty, as it would be a memorial in his family testifying to the remarkable generosity and sympathy with which the Hongkong Community responded to the cry of distress from Ireland. Many of his correspondents in Europe had expressed to him their astonishment at the amount of money raised in such a small place as Hongkong. He would therefore be proud of this testimonial, as he was proud to be a member of such a generous community. His own share in the movement had been small, but whatever it was, he could not help pointing out that the final success was, in the first instance, attributable to the manner and spirit in which His Excellency, Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY, had initiated and guided the whole undertaking.

　　　The GOVERNOR then mentioned the assiduity and accuracy displayed throughout the movement by Mr. STARKEY, the Honorary Secretary, and paid a just tribute to his share in the work for which the second testimonial had been subscribed. His Excellency then went on to say that the memorable share taken by the Chinese Community in the subscriptions raised in Hongkong was mainly due to the influence and efforts of the Chairman of the Chinese Sub-Committee, the Honourable NG CHOY. He would venture, he added, to ask him to accept as a slight memento of his benevolent exertions a copy

of JUSTIN MCCARTHY's work, "The History of our own times." His honourable friend, as he knew, had already studied English History in Lincoln's Inn, but the volumes on the table were written by an Irishman and contained an impartial record of the dreadful famine of 1846. Possibly, when further chapters were added some time hence, the historian would not lose sight of the practical sympathy shown for Ireland by the Chinese in 1880.

　　　The Chief Justice, Sir JOHN SMALE, said that whilst acknowledging that a sum of $39,000 raised on this "dot in the ocean" was a sum creditable to the humane sympathies and noble generosity of the Hongkong Community, he thought the fact should not be overlooked that this result, creditable as it was, would not have been achieved had it not been for the action taken in this matter by the Governor, Sir JoHN POPE HENNESSY. He would therefore propose, on this occasion, a special vote of thanks to His Excellency.

　　　The Honourable P. RYRIE seconded the proposition, which was put to the vote, unanimously passed, and forthwith suitably acknowledged in a few words by Sir JOHN POPE HENNESSY.

His Excellency then invited the Committee to adjourn to the dining-room, where he proposed the health of the popular Treasurer.

DOWNING STREET,

9th September, 1880.

　　　　　　　　SIR,--I have had under my consideration the question whether the privilege accorded to members of the Civil Service in the Colonies by Mr. Secretary CARDWELL'S Circular of 17th December, 1864, of becoming Directors of Public Companies under certain conditions can properly be continued; and I have come to the conclusion that it is not for the advantage of the Public Service that Civil Officers should, unless in very exceptional circumstances, be allowed to take part in the management of Asso- ciations or Partnerships.

　　　　　　　　I request therefore that it may be understood that, henceforth, public servants whose remunera- tion is fixed on the assumption that their whole time is at the disposal of the Government, will not be allowed to become Directors of Companies or Associations; and the Circular of the 17th of December, 1864, may be considered as cancelled.

I have the honour to be,

ascertain whether there are any com- munications with the adjoining houses by the roof, gable, or otherwise.

(b.) The Engine Drivers of Steam Engines

will immediately light fires in the En- gines, and all Meu.bers of the Brigade

　3.-On the arrival of the Engines, the Assist- ant Foremen and the Assistant Engine Drivers

will at once connect the Delivery Hoses with the Engines, and then run them out towards the Fire as directed by the Superintendents or Foremen. After this, the Suction Hose will be carefully con-

nected, and the Assistant Engine Driver will see that it is properly screwed home. It must always be borne in mind that the shorter the Suction Hose the greater is the power obtained.

(a.) The Hosemen attached to each Engine will see that the Hose is laid on in as

straight a line as practicable without

twists, sharp turns, or unnecessary

bends; they must, from time to time,

observe the position of the Hose Reel, so that they may be always prepared to replace promptly any length which

may be burst or otherwise damaged.

4.-Foremen and Assistant Foremen are ex- pected to make themselves acquainted with the water system of Victoria (a plan of which will be supplied), to know the position of Main Plugs in all parts of the town, and also the tanks from which they are supplied. They should be able to give the men under them instructions on all points relating to their duty, such as connecting, disconnecting, and running out Hose, and also as to the position of Main Plugs, Wells, and other sources of water supply. It is their duty to ascertain the cause of Fire in each case, and to report the same to the Superintendent; also to observe the conduct of the Officers and Men under them, and to report any irregularity on their part without delay.

(a.) When on duty at a Fire, they must

see that the Men at the branch are placed in such a position that the stream may actually strike the burning materials. Playing at random through a window should be avoided, when- ever it is possible to obtain a better position, either by entering the house which is on fire, by ascending the roof of an adjoining building, or otherwise. They should see that a safe retreat is kept open for the Men at the branch, and that those working Manual En- gines are not exposed to unnecessary danger.

　　5.-Engine Drivers and Assistant Engine Drivers should be thoroughly acquainted with the water system, and should know where a supply of fresh or sea water could most readily be obtained in any part of the town.

(a.) They will be held responsible that the Coal Carts, Hose Reels, Supply Carts, Ladders, &c., are at all times ready for use, and that these, together with a sufficient supply of Hose, and other material, accompany the Engine to which they are attached, to the Fire.

品

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH DECEMBER, 1880.

1.) In moving the Engines, they must be most careful that no injury is done to the Hose of other Brigades.

c.) They are to carry out the orders of the

Engineer, and are on no account to

disconnect any portion of the Machinery

without his permission, unless on an

emergency they be ordered to do so by one of the Superintendents.

-Without the permission of one of the

intendents, no Fireman or other Member

e Brigade is, while on duty. to reccive any hinent whatever, execjt that which will, necessary, be supplied at the Government

use.

(a.) The duties of Firemen being different from those of Police Constables, the Senior Officer present may, at his dis- cretion, allow the Men to smoke after

the Fire has been extinguished, pro- vided they are not actively engaged.

(6.) Members of the Brigade are not to re-

ceive orders from any one except their

own Officers. They should always be

respectful towards those with whom

they are brought in contact, and afford

every assistance in their power to Members of other Fire Brigades.

(c.) As the reputation of the Brigade de- pends, in a great measure, upon the behaviour of the Firemen, any case of incivility or disrespect will be con- sidered to disqualify them for the post.

-In the Out-Stations, where there are no zers of the Brigade, the Police Inspector may charge of the Engine in the event of a Fire. other times, the care of the Engine and other Brigade material will rest with the Fireman, ? will see that the rules here laid down for In the king the Engines are observed.

tern and Western Districts of Victoria, also, Senior Firemen will have charge of the rines and other Fire Brigade equipment.

ENGINEER.

3.---The Engineer must attend all Fires and Inspections. He should, on the first day each month, send to the Superintendent a port, showing the condition of each of the ad and Steain Engines st..tioned in Victoria,

repairs or alterations effected during the th, and those which he considers still essary.

(a.) He is expected to instruct the Engine

Drivers and Assistant Engine Drivers

in their duties, and to supervise their work; and he should bring any disobe-

dience or inattention on their part at once to the notice of the Superinten- dent.

To obviate any misconception as to the grounds His Excellency has had in refusing his sanction to the continuance of this Emigration, I am instructed to furnish you with the enclosed extracts from a statement made by His Excellency at the Tung-wa Hospital in February 1878, and from some correspondence on the subject.

EXTRACT FROM SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. AT THE TUNG-WA HOSPITAL, 8TH FEBRUARY, 1878.

"Many years ago, the attention of the Government was directed to a scandal, which also "attracted the notice of my gallant friend, Admiral HILLYAR,-the evils of the coolie trade, and one of "my predecessors called the attention of the Secretary of State to the fact that the communications "from the Tung-wa Hospital were those which gave him the first intimation of the evils perpetrated "in that trade. While the Government of that day had to thank the Committee of the Tung-wa "Hospital, it is my duty now publicly to do the same. "attention of the Government to that which undoubtedly was a grave abuse. You brought to my It is not many weeks since you drew the "notice the fact that it was the practice to issue tickets to Chinese Emigrants in this Colony for a "certain sum of money; the tickets purported that that sum was paid in full, whereas, as you pointed out, in reality but a very small sum was paid, and the emigrant was, expected to bind himself for so long a period as two years, to work off his passage, in the sugar plantations of the Sandwich Islands. That was an infraction of our law. It was you who drew our attention to it, and it is public duty to thank you, as I now do, for the valuable information you thus conveyed to the "Government."

EXTRACT FROM Letter dated HONOLULU, JULY (1878), FROM HER MAJESTY'S CONSUL GENERAL, JAMES H. WODEHOUSE, TO GOVERNOR POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

　　　　"With reference to the enforcement of service alluded to by Your Excellency, the following appears "to be a true statement of the course pursued on the arrival of a vessel with Chinese immigrants:-

　　　　"The agent of the Hawaiian Government before whom above contracts for service under the "Master and Servant's Law' can be made, goes on board with an interpreter; the immigrants who "have had their passage money advanced to them by a Chinese firm in Honolulu, sign a contract for "service with some employer of labour for two years, receiving in advance the sum of sixty dollars, of "which forty-five is for their passage. No contract is sanctioned by the Hawaiian Agent unless

agreed to by the immigrant; but the latter understands, as it appears from the statement made" "before Captain THOMSETT, that on his arrival at Honolulu he will be required to enter into an agree- "ment to serve for a sufficient length of time to enable him to pay off his debt.

"If the immigrant were allowed to land before paying his passage, the charterer or person who "advanced the money for it would be unable to recover the amount, as the laws of these Islands do

not allow of arrest for debt.

'No contract is valid unless made before an agent of the Hawaiian Government in this Kingdom. "It was formerly the practice of the Hawaiian Government to guarantee the passages of immi- grants, but it was found that the men took advantage of this and refused to refund the money.

"It was then decided to send a well-known and respectable Chinese Merchant from this city to engage men, who are much wanted for the development of the resources of these Islands.'

EXTRACT FROM LETTER DATED 30TH AUGUST, 1878, FROM HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., TO HER MAJESTY'S CONSUL GENERAL AT THE SANDWICH ISLANDS, MR. JAMES H. WODEHOUSE.

　　　　"The authentic facts stated in the latter part of your letter show th the emigration in question "is, in reality, Contract Emigration,--and under Rule 4 of the Emigration Regulations of Hongkong,, "such Emigration is not permitted except to British Colonies."

EXTRACT FROM DESPATCH DATED 1ST NOVEMBER, 1878, FROM THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, BT., M.P. TO GOVERNOR POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.

"I fully appreciate your anxiety to detect and prevent any abuses, and I think that there were good grounds for refusing to sanction the continuance of Chinese Emigration to Honolulu, when the Chairman of the Tung-wa Hospital directed your attention to the procedure which was being "followed in the Islands after the arrival of the Emigrants.

"I shall readily support and assist you in your efforts in this direction."
