And even although his direction to the Jury the Chief Justice was certainly betrayed into a wandering. from the seal points at issue, that does not affect the value of his com ments on the material matters of the ease; and waking allowances for much diffully, were rather disposed to compli ment his patience and general care than to carp at defects.

It is perhaps too early as yet to discuss this part of the matter, but as it is one which must sooner or later forge itself upon the attention of the colony, it may be well in advert to it as a subject for discussion and consideration. Much depends upon the estimates for its repair
and maintenance, and until these are bo- fore us, we can necessarily say but little, We therefore reserve its consideration for a future issue..
Oun morning contemporary of this day indulges in a remark so peculiar (not to say offensive) that it would be a pity not to ensure it a wider circulation. In speaking of the recent action betwePA the government and the marine lot hold ers, it says:-

As there would be nothing conic in calling the Admiral a burglar, t the General u slave-dealer, so there can be one in calling Hongkong brokers, perjurers. It is not the brokers alone, however, who are slandered. It is the whole jury.

It is, of course, open to His Excellency the Governor to instituta a suit in Equity and, if possible, obtain a verdict which shall reverse that given at communi law.
