HONGKONG OBICKET OLUB V. OFFICERS OF THE ARMY AND NAVY,
This match was played to-day, and the batamen of the Club so successfully played the fast bowling of Butler and Greer that they were not disposed of until 168 runs were marked on the telegraph, a young and rlaing medium-paced bowler being instru- mental in disposing of a couple of most troublesome customers. Forbes, and Dun- man played well for their runs, but the Officers were lucky in getting rid of Munro and West, the latter being obliged to retire
unhurt.
The Officers made in their fanings, 60 ruus for 7 wickete, a long day's outing af feating their batting, and at guu fire the match was left drawn, apparently in favor of the Club.

HIS EXCELLENCY,

The following Proclamation was published this morning in Maeso in the Portuguese
́and Chinese languages:-
Mr Hayllar: No, we say it was an in- evitable accident. We cold not possibly have provided against it. Supposing the junk aarried no light it was so. We do not wish to put it on any higher ground.
The Chief Justice: No; but when & witness states that to be a fact which he in this Court afterwards states is not a fact, and states it with an apparent object, there is a misstatement which tests his veracity. He contradicts himself.
Mr Hayllar: But he says he gave no such instructions. •
His Lordship: I am bound to belleve thla I am bound to say this of Mr Bro- reten, as for every practitioner now practi- sing in this Court, that he never stated as a fact anything which he was not instructed to state as a fact. That paragraph 2 is a plain assertion that damage was done to the barque.
Mr Hayllar: The damage done was found to be so trifling, a ring-bolt was a little- twisted or something of that sort, that it was not worth making any noise about. It was at the same time quite possible that such damage had been done that this course would have been requisite.
The Chief Justice: That is an assertion
pregnant with the meaning that damage had been done, and that assertion is made with what motive?
His Lordship said that he and the asses- sors would consult together, and the de- cision would be given in a few daya Whether the collision cocurred by the barque running into the junk's stern or bows be did not see how it could be made out an inevitable accident. If she struck her on the side, then a nice question arose as to whether the Gustav took the proper measures and whether the Loy Hop was bound to take any measures, to avoid the collision; that would be for the assessors to decide.
Judgment reserved.
