Beroas Mr., HAZELAND,
as follows:--
THE LI-U-KUN CASE.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH, 1900
In all these cases the selection depended in a great measure on the exorales, of naill, Inow fadge, and judgement.
I find as a fact that Terfa is a lottery depend- ing entirely upon chance, and therefore it momos within the definition of the word lottery in the Gambling Ordinance, 1891.
I therefore convict the defendants of the
first charge, and order oach of them to pay a Mr. Hazeland delivered judgment in this case fine of $250, in default of which two months' imprisonment with hard labour. I further order that the money found in exhibit Caud the imple ments of gambling be forfeited to the Crown.
The charge of assault is not made out to my satisfaction. I therefore flad the first, second, and third defendants not guilty on the second and third charges.
The four defendants were charged before me, under the Gambling Ordinance, 1891, for uniew. fully being the keepers of a common gaming house at the "Channg Man" shop lu the vill age of Li-u-man in this Colony on the 24th October, 1900.

The following facts were proved to my satis faction:
(1) That at the village of Li-ü-mun in this Colony, at the time of the arrest of the defen- dants, the lottery commonly called by the Chinese Tez fu was being carried on at the said village.
(2) That the headquarters of the said lottery ware at the "Cheung Man shop situate in the said village of Li-ü-mun.

Canton, 22nd November. EEVENGE AND INDEMNITY FOR NATIVE CHRISTIANS,
On the morning of the 17th inat, the French gunboat Argus left Canton with the delegato of the French Consul on board and arrived at Kamchak in the afternoon. On Monday morning by arrangement the two principal eulprits concerned in the late anti-Christian riots were brought to the spot where the riot took place and beheaded before the French delegats, the Commander of the gunboat. the refeet of the Shan Tak district, several mandarins and a number of soldiers, the elders and gentry of the village being also present to witness the execution. After this the elders and gentry word particularly told that should any more anti-Christian riots or other troubles occur in any of their districts they would be held personally responsible. They bowed no quiescanco und went home with a salutary lossen for them. The native Christians were led back to their homes under guard of 100 soldiers, Their honsus-are being rebuilt, and everything The indemnity provided for their comfort. has been arranged between the Acting Viceroy Tak Sow and the French Consal, M. Hardonin in a manner most satisfactory to all parties
(4) That there was found in the mid "Cheung Man" shop, at the time of arrest of the said defendants, aum-rons documents and chops in connection with the Tezfa lottery
The Taz fa lottery consista in the selection of a pair of charactors from certain 36 pairs. The winning pair is chosen at the headquar. ters of the lattery and is disclosed at

Some little time before the dis- closure of the winning characters, the head qusrters of the lottery issue, a document called the Tea fa tai, which is supposed to be s biut as to what the winning characters might be. Sometimes there is a connection between the Tas futai and the characters chosen, but it is clear from the evidence produced at the trial that the element of chance is never excluded from the competition. The most it does is to reduce the range of selection. No skill or judg ment is requiral, and the lottery is entirely one of chance. It was contended by Mr. Reese, the elicitor for the defendants, that the warrant under which the defondants were arrested was illegal and void for generality. The warrant reads as follows:--
This proud distinotion belonged to Ng Hei, engineer, who was charged, first, with entering a house at 36, First Street, and stealing therefrom a box containing a silk waistcoat and other property belonging to one Qam Yang, value $21.80; second, with unlawfully breaking open a box and stealing a cotton jacket, value 60 cents, the property of one Ng Sam; third, with

On the first charge he was sentenced to four months hard labour; the remaining two were found sot proven.
