Tus approval given by the Legislative Council of the Straits Settlements with only
"a fixed dollar rate equal to that of the "Straits." We notothat the Straits Colonial Secretary has recently been on a visit to Batavia and is stated to have consulted the Netherlands Indies officials on currency
and other maiters, and we may take it that the Straits Legislative Council, which, in- cluding H.E. the GOVERNOR, consists of sixteen members, would not have adopted with only one dissentient the scheme for a gold standard unless they felt amply as- sured that no serious harm to the trade of the Colony would follow, but rather that the change would be highly beneficial, Many of the arguments which have in- fluenced the Currency Committes and Straits Legislature in favour of a gold standard apply with equal force to Hongkong, and we doahs whether the same Committee of En-
quiry would see in the geographical situation of Hongkong an argument of sufficient weight to vary the terins of the verdict they have given in the case of the Straits Settle
incute, Of course, it would be more satis factory if the Government of Chiut could be influenced to put the currency of the whole Empire ou a gold basis, but China is never in a hurry and Hongkong can hardly afford to wait until the Chinese Govorn- ent finds itself prepared for the inevitable change.

correct that on May 7, 1902, Mr Cameron was convinced that the whole of the 26 cases belonged to Hindmarsh, then it seems to me imp sible that he could have contemplated any third party coming in to set up a totally dif ferent claim. What be meant, as it seems to me, and what appears to be in consonance with the rest of the undertaking, is: “Give mo docu. meats that will protect me in my holding on the other side agalost Hindmarsh, the shipper and owner, or possibly against some indorse of his in the ordinary course of business,” and those, he got. Therefore on the docu- ment itself I am of opinion that the defence fails. Counsel for the defense also contended that no staninga had been proved, but I stated at the hearing that I should allow such a technical error to be rectified. There were two other defences, one with reference to execution not boring boon taken out, and the other with reference to the defendants being in the position of guarantors.

As to the American doc tiou, in the view I take of the case, I do not think that I need take it into consideration. The words in the undertaking follow the words in the writ of foreign attachment and correctly describe the 16 cases. Hindmarsh was the shipper and the only man who could ens on the bill of lading, and in law at that time he was the only owuer, and the only man who could be so described. So that instead of, de counsel for the defendants contended, the wordsimposing a condition that Mr. Cameron is only liable for goeds that may possibly hereafter he proved to belong to Hind marsh, I think that they are an additional earmark to the 20 cases as being inonded in the One seldom or never hears of the Chinese undertaking.
