happened to the two prisoners was this: the first prisoner went to the house where he slept No. 108 and having taken off his clothes began to wash them; the second prisoner went home and did the same. He tore up one of his socks up and threw the pieces out of the window. They were subsequently found covered with blood. While the second prisoner was changing his clothing some fokis from a neighbouring shop came running in and said that Leung Hin had been wounded and was lying in the street. Upon this the cook and one of the fokis ran out and brought their master in and laid him on a conch. His parse had been taken away from him, doubtless with the view of getting the key to the drawer in the counter where the safe key was kept. They, however, did not succeed in get- ting the key, which was not in the pouch but in a pocket under the jacket. The deceased man made a cortain statement in the presence of the second prisoner, in the course of which he said that the second prisoner held him while the other stabbed him. This was evidence against the second prisoner, but probably not against the first. The prisoners were subse quently arrested.
Evidence was then led.
After tiffin, Mr. Collins, who did not answer to his name when called in the morning, ap- peared. He said he was in Court at 10.30, and was under the impression that that was the time the Court opened and not ten o'clock.
His Lordship reprimanded him, adding that next time he must be more careful and that he was not sure he ought not to fine him.
The evidence was continued, and the hearing adjourned,

style by Arden. Boulton took up the play and passed to Cheetle. The latter was tackled by the backs, and the V.R.C. had to concede a corner. Williams kicked in, and absolutely the best chance of the whole game was thrown away by Lloyd, who, with the goal only couple of yards from him and Gidley at the other end of it, fluked an easy ball and gave the Vics time to rally. Soon after a second chance to score was lost by the Fusiliers, and the game thus ended in a win for the Victoria Recreation Club by 2 goals to 0. The play of the Fusiliers, however, was worth a draw, and and the V.R.C. may congratulate themselves on a rather lucky victory.
RUGBY.
A Rugby match was played at Happy Valley on Wednesday, the 13th inst., between the Hong- kong Club and the Royal Artillery. The Club, who won the toss, was one man short, and Von der Pfordten, who was originally included in the forwards, was placed in the three-quarter line. The ground was hard and slippery, and this circumstance contributed in no slight measure to the tameness of play in the first half, which saw a goal registered by Capt. Tullock for the Artillery, and a try for the Club, converted by Hallifax. The second half was marked by brighter play, but that of the Artillery was superior, and gained for them two more goals and a try. The Club did not add anything to their score, and the game thus ended in a win for the Artillery by two goals and one try to a goal. Clark and Hallifax played a good game forward for the Club, but the latter was inclined to be selfish with the ball. Amongst the opposing team, Harman, in the three-quarter line, was perhaps the best man on the field, followed closely by
"A Tommy at full back. All admirers of athletics in the colony will regret to hear that Russell, the Fusiliers (Colours) :-Goal-Arden; backs-well-known back, in the second half of the Murray, Lambert; half-backs-Davis, Parnell, and Pagh; forwards-Williams, Cheetle, Boul ton, Lloyd, and Jones.
SHIELD CONPETITION. THIRD ROUND. The first tie in the third round for the Shield was played on Saturday, the 16th iast., between the Victoria Recreation Club and G. Company R.W.F. The day was a fine one, and a large number of spectators lined the ropes. H.E. the Governor watched the game from the grand stand, which was well filled. The following was the composition of the team :--
V.R.C. (Blue):-Goal-Gidley; backs-Fit. took and Duncan; half-backs-Loureiro, Laps ley, and Brett; forwards-Seth, Yule, Smillie, Herton, and Henderson.
Victoria kicked off, facing the east goal. They immediately got behind the Fusiliers for wards, but were stopped at half-back, and desultory mid-field play followed. Kicking in the first few minutes of the game was very erratic on both sides, and the ball was frequently out of play. The Fusiliers were the first to get into their stride, and their forwards showed up 1 considerably better than those of their oppo- nents, whom they repeatedly out-manoeuvred. Herton made a plucky attempt to balance matters for his side, but was stopped in centre-half by Parnell, who passed to Jones. Long passing by the Fusilier forwards was indulged in, and Williams sent in a shot that was just a trifle too high. The V.R C.'s left wing now had a look in, but were forced to relinquish the ball to Murray, From play in centre the Vics, gare away a foul in their own territory, but the Fusiliers could not better it, and a second penalty against the V.R.C. was sent wide of the mark. The Fusiliers all along had been forcing matters, but although they repeatedly got up to within measurable distance of the V.R.C. custodian, the forwards appeared to lose themselves in front of goal, and 5 always returned without the reward this play in mid-field merited. Towards the finish of the 7first half the Vics placked up, and confined play
freequently to Fusilier territory. In their eager ness, however, they gave away so many fouls that Mr. Ross, the referee, had to stop the game 18 and administer a caution, which had a salutary effect, on the ensuing play. About a minute from half-time the V.R.C. forwards indulged in some long passing that brought them up to Arden. The latter ran out during a tussle at goal, leaving his post entirely unprotected- an opportunity the V.R.C. made such good use that the interval found the Fusiliers with a mi- nority of one against them.
