The Chinese Government, following Viceroy Yuan's lead, has decided to do away with useless flowers of language in official documents.
WYNN Ph:1
The Japanese Government is establisli- ing in Corea the Industrial Model House, an institution to further the development of Corean industries. ›
Mr Sofonoff, a Russian lately arrived from Kischta, shot himself in Tientsin recently, owing apparently-to-depression. over business matters.
It is reported that Mr Uchida has heer entrusted with authority to buy artillery for the Chinese Government in Japan; the report does not seem a gery likely one.
A number of articles of jewellery, bolonging to visitors at the Yaami Hotel, which was recently destroyed by fire, have. been recovered among the ruins.
Thero has been been an epidemic of fires in Japan and it is pointed out that › the present is known to superstitious Japanese as the **
'year of the firehorse."
It is mooted that Japan will endeavour to float a foreign loan of £200,000,000 at 4 per cent.. in order to redeem her outstand- ing loans bearing higher rates of interest.
At the request of the Board of Con- stabulary Viceroy Yuan Shih-k's has
diverted to their use the sum of Hk. Taels 200,000 from the Kinochou Customs."
Mr L. H. Abel, an American citizen, formerly Secretary of the International, Oil Co., Ld, has been sentenced to eight years' minor imprisonment in Japaй on charges of forgery.
The number of Japanese who lost limbs or were otherwise crippled during the, war was 31,018, but they will not all have to enter the institutions established by the Japanese Diet last season."

My head ached, and I had a general feeling of languor and depresion, I had pain after foud, wind, palpitation, and what little food I took would often repeat. A local medical man was called in, and pronounced my case so grave is to require a consultation with another doctor.
This was held, and I was under treat- ment for some time. My condition became worse from day to day, and week to week, and for sometime I hovered between life' and death. I could not sleep for several weeks, and, as I lay awake hour after hour, suffering great pain, my stato may easily be imagined. The liver complaint had seriously affected my sight, specks seemed to be the continually floating before my eyes, giddiness and the wind increased, and the pain in the loina and back was most agonis. ing.

Mr Sharp then continued-It was im- portant to consider the statutory jurisdic- tion under which those men were com mitted, which is contained in Ordinance 3 of 1873 (Supreme Court Ordinance). The material part of Section 30 is "If in any cause, action or suit, civil or criminal

We submit with regard to that section that the phrase "it appears to the Court" means it must be taken as the equivalent of it "judicially appears to the Court," that is to say, it appears to the Court after the observance of the essential principles on which judicial enquiries are conducted. There is only one other phrase necessary to comment upon in this section "contempt of Court," which we submit means that the jurisdiction is the same as for contempt of Court.
The Chief Justice-I understood that you said at the former appeal that the words were superficial?

Mr Pollock quoted authority to show the construction to be placed on the words "if it appears to the Court" in Ordinance 3 of 1873, section 31. In Bonsker v. Evans the judgment said "No proposition can be more clearly established than that a man'. cannot incur loss of liberty or property until he had had a fair opportunity of an. swering the charges against him, unless the Legislature has expressly or impliedly given the authority to act without that very necessary preliminary." The section of the Supreme Court Ordinance so far from implying that the right was to be withheld showed that it was to be respected.

"PUKKA RODGERS."
A Well-known Brand in Court.
After a five day's hearing Mr Justice Buckley, in the Chancery Division, con. cluded the hearing of an action brought by Joseph Rodgers and Sons (Limited), makers of cutlery, against Hearnshaw Bros, for an injunction to restrain the defendants from stamping or marking cutlery not of the plaintiffs' manufacture with the name of "Rodgera" or "Rodgers Bros.," and from selling it under a name sufficiently similar to the plaintiffs' to deceive.
The plaintiff firm's business has been carried on for 200 years at Sheffield and elsewhere under a trade name of which the word Rodgers 3" has always formed part and two of their marks (a Maltese cross and a star) were granted in 1682. In 1889 the defendants bought up a business of edged. tool makers which was conducted under the style of Rodgers Bros.. and towards the end of 1902 they started a cutlery business, using the name Rodgera Bros. in connection with John Bull trade mark. The plaintiffs' case was that, if defendants were permitted to use the name Rodgers in connection with cutlery, the public would be deceived. In the course of the evidence it appeared that plaintiffs' goode aro known practically all over the world, and the natives of India call their goods "pukka Rodgers," to signify they are "tip-top" in quality.
a
The defence was that the name Rodgers had not acquired such a reputation as to mean goods of the plaintiffs' manufacture only, that there was no evidence of actual deception, and that the defendants' name of Rodgers Bros, with their John Bull trade mark did not infringe the rights of the plaintiffs, Mr Justico Buckley held that the defendants had so used the word
"Rodger" as to put it in the power of retailers to pass off their goods as those of the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs had made out- a case of intention to deceive, and he grant- ed them an injunction, with costs.
