THE SILVER MARKET.
SINGAPORE, Feb. 10. The silver market is quiet.
A Chinese young girl, Miss Chang, was betrothed without her consent while still a child to a boy, the matter being arranged by the respec- tive parents, and bargain money was duly paid by the parents of the boy to the parents of the girl. Now Miss Chang has grown up, has received a good education, and is imbued with Western ideals of the marriage "relation. She wants to decide the matter for herself,"
The boy has also grown up, but he has not obtained any education. He has acquired a miscellaneous assortment of bad habits instead," which make him distasteful to his fiancee, who now refuses to marry him. The parents of the youth are angry, and threaten shit.
Mr. Wang Chung Hui, well known as a specialist in comparative... law, and an official of the Law Codification Burean, was consulted, and gave as his opinion that the parents of the boy might succeed in an action against the girl's parents. The court could not compel Miss Chang to go through the marriage ceremony, but might order her to do so. If she refused, the court might proceed to award as damages wice the amount of earnest money origin- ally paid to the the girl's parents.
