Pictures of the Hong Kong Judiciary

Over the past few years I have been taking part in a project on the history of the Hong Kong Judiciary from 1841 to the present, which we hope will result in the publication of a book in the next year or so. Now that the documentary research is nearly complete, we are looking for historical photographs and other images to use as illustrations.

Its role as the Magistracy was replaced by a new Magistracy building to the northeast, which opened some time in 1845-46.

This older building wasn't demolished, but underwent some conversion work. It is shown on later maps marked "Debtor's Prison".
