In July 1858, the Legislative Council's first standing orders were introduced, setting rules on members' notice of meetings, manner of speaking, the quorum for meetings, voting procedures, the duties of the clerk, the handling of petitions and ordinances, and the examination of witnesses.
On 17 July 1858, Governor Bowring received the report of a commission of inquiry; the report arose from the Attorney General Anstey's accusations against the Registrar General Caldwell, involving Caldwell's collusion with the pirate Huang Mozhou, receipt of benefits and neglect of duty; the commission concluded that Caldwell was unfit to continue as a justice of the peace but did not recommend his dismissal.
On 31 July 1858, Governor Bowring issued a proclamation in both Chinese and English condemning the Qing government's demand that Chinese in Hong Kong leave the colony and its cessation of food supplies to Hong Kong, stating that the Qing government was an enemy of Britain and would be held strictly to account.
