NATURALISED BRITISH SUBJECT. RESIDENTIAL RIGHTS OF CHILDREN. WELLINGTON, August 5. The peculiar position of a Chinese resident of Wellington, a naturalised British subjoet, in regard to tho residential rights of his childron, is shown in a petition presented to tho Houso to-day by Mr C, Carr on behalf of Mr C. 11. Chapman, The petitioner, a Chinese laundryman named Shack Horne, came to New Zealand in 1870, and remained until 1904, when he went to Hong Kong on business, to the Dominion in 1906, Ho was again absent from New Zealand from 1909 to 1917, since when he has resided continuously in the Dominion. He is a widower with seven children. Two of the sons and the only girl were born in New Zealand and the other four sons, whose ages range from 12 to 19 years, were born in Hong Kong. It is in respect of tho latter that the petition has been framed. Two of the sons born abroad are in .New Zealand on temporary permits, and the petitioner asks that they be allowed to remain permanently in New Zealand without payment of the poll tax, permission having previously been refuged by tho Minister for Customs. He asks that the othor two sons who are still abroad be permitted to enter the Dominion and reside hero permanently without paying the poll tax. As evidence of his standing and reputation as a citizen,Shack Horne states that for some years be was Chinese interpreter at the Magistrate's Court, Wellington, also interpreter in connexion with the Customs Department. He claims he was instrumental in introducing legislation for the suppression of the opium tragic in Neve Zealand, and was the first to introduce to the General Assembly tho matter of the appointment of a consul to represent the interests of the Chinese residents of the country, having journeyed to China to obtain the permission of the Chinese Government. His eldest son served with the New Zealand Forces in the war. The petition is signed by 198 residents of Wellington.

CHINESE VENGEANCE. SEQUEL TO THE GAMBLING CASES EVENING POST, VOLUME LX, ISSUE 120, 17 NOVEMBER 1900, paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19001117.2.28?items_per_page=10&page=15&query=hong+kew&snippet=true CHINESE VENGEANCE. SEQUEL TO THE GAMBLING CASES Since the raid by the police on the Chinese gambling den in Haining-street, and the subsequent proceedings before the Magistrate's Court, considerable resentment has been felt by the Celestials against two of their countrymen, Louis Lock and Shack Home, for the part they took 'in assisting the authorities ito secure a conviction. .As a result, they have, they allege, been undergoing a most unpleasant experience^ and yesterday they sought the intervention of the law ,on their behalf. Accompanied by Mr. Skerrett, as counsel, and an interpreter, they appeared before Mr. Haselden, S.M., in the afternoon, and informed him tnat they had reason" to complain that their lives were in danger. Therefore they asked that warrants might be issued for the arrest of certain .of their countrymen. His Worship granted the applications, and warrants were issued against Hong Kew, Young Hee, Ching Wah, Young Sow, Joe Tong, Wong Ah Lie, and Hung Mung Tong, who were charged with having threatened to murder the complainants,' and with Tiaving used threatening and insulting language and behaviour towards them. The seven accused were subsequently arrested by Detective Cox, and their cases were set down f.or on Monday .They were admitted to bail, each in one surety of £10, and personal bonds of a similar amount. The necessary bonds were' signed by Yee Chong, merchant, Manners-street. Dr. Findlay has been retained .by the accused for their defence. At, the Magistrate's .Court this morning Mr. Haselden, S.M., intimated that the- cases had better be heard before the Justices (Messrs. R. Levoi and J. Saunders), who adjudicated on the charges arising directly out of the raid on the gambling den |
