FUNCTION AND SUBJECT CONTENT
The series records the purchase of stamps required for the payment of stamp duty on notarial certificates. The entries comprise the date, cash received, name of client, particulars of the certificates, the amount and balance of stamps in hand.
The series consists of typescript copies of deeds, some of which are annotated, relating to client matters.
The series comprises bills for payments. They are enclosed in folders with the note "Pending Disbursements to be Paid" attached to the cover.
The series records the interest earned and repayments made on mortgages. An index to names is located at the front of the volume, with page reference entered against each name. Register entries include the name of the mortgagee, the principal amount of the mortgage, the interest and amounts paid. Papers relating to the Chater (Cathedral) Endowment Fund, 1941, are loosely inserted.
The series consists of quarterly and annual profit and loss accounts and half yearly and annual balance sheets relating to the financial affairs of Sir C P Chater and General Properties Ltd. The accounts give details of liabilities and assets and share holdings.
The series consists of: lists of deeds and Wills kept in Mr Atkinson's room and the Will safe; also an index to client documents in the Will safe in Mr Shenton's room. Some entries are annnotated, indicating the action taken on the documents.
The series comprises instruments, including deeds, for the transfer of shares, and share certificates.. Some instruments are incomplete, being without signatures, and are undated. The transfers relate to shares in: The Panjom Mining Co Ltd; Union Insurance Society of Canton, Ltd; Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation; and The Hongkong Electric Co Ltd. The instruments were kept in order of the transferor's name except for those relating to the Panjom Mining Co.
The series consists of statements of quarterly accounts of clients and include both handwritten and typed documents. The file at DRS 33/3, "Deacons No. 1 A/c Statement of Account" contains a name index at the front of the file.
The matters covered by the correspondence and papers in this series include: rental of post office box; Hong Kong - Canton telephone service; sub-letting of premises; subscription to Hong Kong Government Gazette; storage of Deacons' "Old Documents", 1969-1997; and staff provident fund. The series also contains a copy of Canton Municipal Telephone Administration Telephone Directory, Sept 1931.
The series consists of share and bond certificates that appear to have been accumulated as a result of administering deceased estates.* Certificates are those of the Societe des Pulpes et Papeteries du Tonkin and The Selama Tin Mining Company Limited (the latter were issued to the Hon C P Chater). The bonds are for the development of local industries issued by the Provincial Government of Kwang Tung. The chop on these bonds appears to indicate that the first interest instalment was paid. [* The origin of this series is a deduction only, suggested by the presence of certificates in Chater's name.]
The files in this series contain correspondence and circulars concerning clients, office administration and partnerships. Subjects covered include Islamic mosques, Aberdeen Cold Storage Limited, the Kowloon office and P H Davies. Some files are marked with the letter 'M' in blue pencil also have a single number written on the file cover. These files may have been part of a separate correspondence file series at some time. The file "M - Moslem Mosques" at DRS 36/2 has two sub-files enclosed.
The series comprises photographs and negatives of annual and farewell dinners for Deacons' staff. The black and white and colour prints are contained in albums; the 35mm negatives are located in envelopes. Some staff have been identified by 'Post-it' stickers inserted in the albums. The prints are generally given a reference number but there is no separate record or index to these. A printed programme for the 1978 annual dinner is pasted inside the front cover of DRS 37/8.
The series records cash received in payment of rents. Entries comprise date, name or the general entry 'Rents', ledger folio ('LF') reference and the amount.
