THE POISONING ON BOARD THE`
“AUDAX” With referance la the poisoning of the officers And crew of the American vessel Audaz, the
Shipping and Mireanille Gazette says: We have to desire to magnify the importance of this one, or, of course, in any way to distort the incie as they have reached us. But it comes to this, that in the British Port of Hongkong a coroner's jury have found that a murder by poisoning has been committed on board a mos obante vermel lying there, und, of course, if tho jury are right, there was more than one victim timed at by the assassin. It would seew that what happened on board the Audax might ecour to any vessel against the officers or crews of which a Chinese or Malay milor might have n 1,80%.81 grudge. We are aware of the difficulty of meet. ing attempte at this peenliar species of assassina- tion in the Chinese ports, but at Hongkong there ought to be no aneb dificulty. The part and all ite belongings are subjected to Dritish | control and supervision, and there is, con- sequently, infinitely Jesa opportunity than thero would be bigher up the cast for the perpetra- tion of enek atrocities. The misfortunio iu vle present enne is, that although the coroner's | jury bure found a verdict, of wilful wurder, it is an open verdiet, and fires on ve one. In the East the criminal population are only impress- ed by exemplary punishment. Had the pri soner Alles been given in charge to a jury, and tried by British law, it is quite possible there might have been evidence sufficient to have neured bie conviction. As it is, though the officer of an Amarioms ship in the British part of Hongkong has met his death by foul means, the victim ofan attempt to murder the whole | ship's company, the executive thero cannot teach the nederer who, so far as appearances to the coubrary, is at this moment at large, and ve doubt ouboldened by impunity. This state of things is amoredly not extenlated to ersio confidence in the vigilance or astuteness of the 1,800,000.00 exeuntive of Hongkong.
