天利行

天利行(Messrs. McPhail & Co.),又名馬克亥爾洋行,是1864-1867年間在南台灣首要的洋行,由英商麥裴兒(James W. Mcphail,Neil McPhail)兄弟二人所經營。宣教師馬雅各醫生初抵台灣,就得了他們的照顧,他一行在府城北勢街(台南市神農街)天利行奈.麥斐兒(Neil McPhail)家作賓客。

洋商從事台灣貿易之先驅,是怡和行(Jardine Matheson & Co.)及甸特行(Dent & Co.)。兩洋行都於1858年(咸豐8年)就開始向台灣購買樟腦,也售鴉片,1860年已有代理人駐打狗。

1864年,天利行在打狗成立後,兩行在打狗的業務差不多由天利行接辦。據1864年在台外僑名錄,天利行在打狗有合夥人James Mcphail(時28歲)、職員Robert R. Rothwell(39歲);在台灣府有合夥人Neil McPhail(26歲)、職員John William Mingoot(22歲)。

1867年5月某個夜晚,天利行所信任一位華籍買辦將所有庫存鴉片、現金,上了駁船,逃溜一空。因為他偽刻釐金局印戳,走漏釐金,東窗事發,只好遠走,府城天利行因此被查封、拍寶,買主是1866年剛設立的怡記行(Messrs. Elles & Co.),而必麒麟也就轉任怡記行府城代理人了,麥斐兒兄弟黯然離開台灣。

必麒麟晚年寫了一本回憶錄—書名Pioneering in Formosa: Recollections of Adventures among Mandarins, Wreckers & Headhunting Savages. London, 1898有吳明遠的中文譯本,題(「老台灣」)台灣研究叢刊第六十種,民國48年1月台灣銀行出版)。有關天利行倒閉經過,回憶錄有詳述(第十四章,見原書167-175頁;中譯本87-90頁)。
