THE ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO

The charge against Robert Duncan and M. J. Rozario, for conspiracy to defraud the Hongkong and Whampoa Deck Com pany, was proceeded with before Mr Rassell At the Police Court this morning.
Mr Brereton appeared for the prosecu-

Mr Kingsmill contended that, even with this second aspect, bail should still be
allowed.
The Magistrate asked if false pretence was a bailable offence,
Mr Kingsmill replied that it was, being | only a misdemeanor,
The Magistrate said that, under the Ast of Viot. 11 and 12 C. 42, there were two classes of inademeanors, in one class of which the Magistrato was bound to ad- it to bail, while in the other it was op- tional False pretente was one of those of fences which was disuretionary to him to allow bail or not, and what his Worship bad said before on this subject would apply bere. He did not think he could take the responsibility of allowing bail, and this was a matter which should be properly left to the opinion of the higher Court
Aftor further discussion, Mr Kingsmill urged, at another reason for bail, that the regimen or rule in the gaol in regard to persons on remand was very severe. They
were treated like prisoners..
The Magistrate vald he understood that men nu remand were only kept there for
safe custody.
Mr Kingmill observed that they were

Sometimes I heard Asing having conversations with Mr Rozario at the table, but what they said I did not hear. When they talked they had their sides towards me. I did not see what sing did with the money. The conversations lasted five or six minutes and both then left together. Entries of pay- ments were made by the Dook compradore.

A FALSE CHARGE.
Mr Thomas McLaughlin, second officer of the British barque Candia, was brought up on the charge of stealing a pair of shots from a shoe-mskor who had gone on board to sell his wares. The charge turned out to ba false, and the complainant was fined $5. The defendant bought the shoes and told the complainant to wait till the Cap tain's return when he would be paid. The defendant then went into the hold to his work and did not come up again until the Polica arrived. The Magistrate made some enquiry as to how the defendant came to be arrested instead of being summoned, and it resulted in the Captain Superinten dont giving orders to the Police that com plainants of this kind should be recom mended in future to apply for summonses

The step may prove a foolish and perilous one on his party for, as our Cor respor lent at Kwei-yang Fu points out, the
Catholics in Szechuen muster no fewer than
in many instances of some of the most enlightened men in the province. It is so far satisfactory to hear that the rebellion which was giving aneh anxiety to the anthorities in Kwang-si has been effectually quelled.
