"Misfortune rather than fault". was the Marine Magistrate's opinion in the case in which the master of a Canton river steamer was charged with allowing his vessel to be overloaded. Imposing only a nominal fine, the Magis- trate alluded to some interesting experiments he had made personally, in the light of evidence during the enquiry, The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reports what had become virtually a "test" case in its entirety.

The much-disputed ownership of a launch, which in its adventurous career. had been confiscated by "Reds" in Swatow, continues to occupy the attention of the Higher Court. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, in its comprehen- sive report of the proceedings, elucidates the complex legal problems involved in the action.

As a sequel to a sensational arrest on a mail liner, just as it was about to'sail, a local Master Mariner was fined $101,000, with the option of seven months' imprisonment at the Central Magistracy. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives full details.

Hong Kong's fine response to the Sepoy Victims' Dependants' Fund, first suggested by the China Mail, reached over £1,400. The report of the sponsors, and the method' by which it will be distributed, are both reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The dramatic action of the Stewards of the Hong Kong Jockey Club in disqualifying a racing pony which won at the last Extra Mesting, is exclusively reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. It was alleged that whisky had been administered to the pony before the races. As a result the Chinese trainer was discharged. The owner, however, was completely exonerated, and the pony allowed to run at the next meeting.

The misfortunes of the round-the-world, junk Maskee, which set out from Hong Kong on a further stage of her journey, but was obliged to return owing to sickness amongst the crew, are chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Social events in the Colony, including local weddings of interest, are brightly reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The OVERLAND CHINA, MAIL also carries its usual special reports and comments on sport, particularly interest- ing being the sections dealing with local Lawn Tennis and Lawn Bowls. The scores in the Hong Kong v. Shanghai Interport are also included.

In the China news, a claim is made by the Nationalist forces of the dramatic capture of the Important strategical town of Kweiping. Many successes are claimed in addition, but reports from other sources emphatically deny them. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives the essential features of the messages from the various warring factions.

There is no phase of the life of the Colony or of China that does not receive attention in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL the weekly paper that YOU MUST ORDER NOW.
