"THE JUNK CASE.”
"
This case is editorially described In this morning's Daily Press as "of Interest to shipowners." On Friday August 22 the China Mail had the honour of being the first to call attention to the fact that it was of interest to anybody. We pointed" out its special interest for lovers of Justice and British fairplay, and we said "we are satisfied that in the case of a large steamer chartered and mixes ed, the owners would not be held to blame" This was a plain hint that there was special interest here for the shipping interests-the life of cur Colony--but on Monday, September 8, (stil as usual fighting a lone hand,
