BRUTAL MURDER. This afternoon, a jury, composed of Messrs J. F. Mardfeldt, F. Rapp, and A. Wassen- fall, sat, with C. V. Creagh, Esq., Coroner, on the body of one Chung A-chan, a stère- dealer, who, there is every reason to believe, has been brutally murdered. The jury having viewed the body, (a fearful eight) heard the following evidence:
in the crowd,
Constable Butlin deposed to finding, when at the request of the nephew he went out to look for the body, the various articles pro- duced, which the man had had with him; he also found a piece of human scalp and a queue, one end of it in the ground. Search ing about, he found, some 30 yards distant, what seemed to him a newly filled-up grave. He reported the matter to Yow-mah-ti Sta- tion; shortly after the Bergeant arrived with some resurrection coolies," and a "dead box." The ground being dug up this body was found rolled up in a mat, tied round with a rope. It was buried some 24 feet below the aurface. Of the broken silver produced, he found part under the cliff with the box &e; the rest was given him by a woman at the Station, who said she had picked it up about the same place.
The Coroner said they jury had now to say whether there was sufficient evidence to justify them in bringing in a verdict of murder. It was clear enough the man had not caused his own death. It was for them to say whether they were satisfied he had been murdered; if not, they could say that he had died from these wounds, but how they had been inflicted there were no evid- ence to show.
The Jury, without hesitation, gava a verdict of "murder, against some person or persons unknown."
The Magistrate quita concurred; there was no doubt, he said, the man had been
murdered,

The Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital was away on leave for seven mouths during the past year, and a dithioul- ty occurred in proouring a substitute. For about three weeks, I did the duties of Superintendent of this Establishment in addition to my own duties, but fortunately Dr Von der Hords, who bad newly arrived in the Colony, undertook to do duty as Acting Superintendent, and thus relived me of such an arduous addition to my own work.
The Superlatendent of the Government Civil Hospital is the only man in the C. lonial Service of Hongkong, whose whole time is given to the service of the Govern ment, who has any difficulty in procuring a substitate without loss to himself. In the service, two months leave of absence in every year is allowed on full pay, and one year's leave on ball pay after six years service, provided a sustitute on ba pro oured who will undertake to do the full pay leave for nothing, and the balf pay leave for the half pay. This is generally managed in other Departments, but in ours there are no surplus Medical Officers who can undertake to do the work. Conse- quently, under the Colonial regulations, unless the Superintendent can procure soms Medioal man not belonging to the servior, to do the duties, generally at some loss to himself, be cannot get any leave. I re presented this hard case to the Government, who, I am glad to say, coincided with my views, and the money was voted to pay the Acting Superintendent; so that the Su- perintendent was enabled to have his leave without loss to himself, or any detriment to the working of the Establishment under his charge.
