After bearing the plaintiff's evidence, His Honor decided to adjourn the case, numerous letters and soconats in Chinese not having been tran- olated, an i it being difficult to go into the accounts under the circumstances.

As illustrating the care which is necessary to be taken in such matters, however, we may say that it was by a mere chance that the probate case disposed of to-day was not reported as referring to the estato of Rev.
