BRITISH ARMY OFFICERS AND
A CHINESE WATCHMAN. The bearing of this charge, which was ra- ported in our issue of the sc inst., was resumed this morning. Mr E. J. Grist ap. peared for the second defendant (Lieut. Kuo, R.B. Tae "complainant did not Appear, and the charge won accordingly dis.
mineed.
Mr Grist then called the attention of the Magistrato to a statement made, by the complainant in his evidence to the effect that the defendants were more or less drunk at the time of the assault, and ap- plied that a flue be imposed on the complain ant on the ground that his statement was

Dr Ho Kai said that longer notice of the sure should have been giten, so that these
persans affected by it might be con- suited. The taking away of the licenses would affect private properties.
The Director of Public Works said the Board Pire notice two months ago that they would not issue ficonces for keeping swine in depots.

It would be a waste of time on my part to deal in detail with the various questions raised evidently by persons with no practi- est knowledge of the arrangement of Chinese houses, elementary hydraulice, or of what is meant by the separate svatet sa buing introduced into the City of Vistoria, and by persons who have not even taken the trouble to read the variona published reports on the sanitation and drainage of Bangkotip.
