19世纪香港高等法院在远东地位的演变——以对领事案件的管辖为中心

19世纪的香港在英国殖民体系中有着极其重要的地位。在司法领域，领事须将领事口岸的重大案件或对其裁决不服的案件交由香港高等法院市理。随着香港经济中心地位逐渐被上海替代，香港高等法院也丧失其远东司法中心的地位。其地位演变与英国殖民者在远东的利益和殖民政策息息相关。

The Evolution of the Standing of Hong Kong High Court in the Far East in the 19th Century——Centering around its Jurisdiction of Cases in British Consulate-governed Colonial Ports

Hong Kong in the 19th century had an extremely important status in the British colonial system. In the field of judicial administration, consuls should refer important cases or appeals occurring in the ports under their administration to Hong Kong High Court. As Shanghai replaced Hong Kong as the economic center in the Far East, Hong Kong High Court lost its status as the judicial center there. The evolution of its status is closely related to the interests and colonial policy of British colonists in the Far East.
