manager of the Docks. Hon. H. E. Pollock, K.C., harrister-at-law (instructed, by Mr. E. J Grist of Mesars. Wilkinson & Grist, solicitors), appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. M, W. Slade, barrister-at-law (instrasted by Mr. P. W. Goldring of Mr J. Hastings, solicitor), for the

A Peris correspondent writes to ng — this Company for the defendants to make complaint to and request investigation by Mr. W. Wilson of the matters set out in the latter. They also pleaded privilege.
Hon. Mr. Pollock said it was for the defend. ants to begin as it lay upon the party making defamatory statements regarding another in sach cases to prove the truth of these statement, if he could, or if he tried to justify them by saying he believed them to be true it was not, for the plaintiff to prove negatively that he had not committed certain
corrupt or fraudulent acts.
Mr. Slade said that when a ples of privilege was made the onus fell upon the plaintiff to prove express malice on the part of the defen- ants. They said they were privileged because of the relation between the three parties-the defendants, the plaintiff and the man to whom this communication was mado.
His Lordship stated that would require proof of the alleged privilege.
Mr. Blade said he would call evidence to prove that ever

The French Nationalists who bud already reason enough to complain of the unfavourable events of the year 1903, falt it na u specially sovers blow to their cause, when at the end of the year the Committee of Rovision un- animously declared in favour of bringing the Dreyfus can again to the Bar. That they All outstanding credit and debit laccounts of the Photographic Businese will be collected and would take revenge for this defeat was clear Atti from the outset; and to those acquainted with political methods their plan of attack could not be doubtful The Nationalistin Press at once stigmatised the Minister of War, General Andre, who was principaily responsibia for the proposed Revision, as a secret ally of the German Empire. in its characteristic stylo the paper of M. Rochefort gave expression to its patriotio anger. "The German agent who is at present our Minister of War will do every thing possible to get the banoh of the new Martial Court packed with officers of his own retinue; in fact he ought to seek bis judges in Berlin"-alluding to the well-known French saying: Il y a des juges à Berlin."
This tit-for-tat of the Nationalist paper will be taken seriously only by renders of su extremely short memory. For ever since he brenme Minister of War, General Audré bas seized evorg opportunity for delivering apeashes flavoured with acrimonious biota at Germany. personal Nobody doubts that, despite his animosity against the Nationalists, General André is quite at one with them as soon as the ory of vengeance for 1870 is heard. Whether this implacability is inspired by the ambition, natural At four o'clock the hearing was adjourned for an offer of the Army, to get even with the viator in the Inst combat, or whether the wish of gaining popularity induces him to keep the wound upou makes no difference. At any rate he is credited with irreconcilable enmity against the Gerinan name, and it svends quite r.diculcox to bear General André called the agent of Germany." In this instance, the menu in- sinuation that our political adversary sets in the interest of a foreign country fails to have the slightest effect.

DEATH OF BISHOP FEE.
Bishop Fée, of Malacea, died in Paria ou the 22nd December, at the early age of 48 years. The late Bishop was born at Ambrière in the Diocese of Laval, France, in 1856. He left France in 1879 and, had spent nearly 5 years of his missionary life in British Malays, mostly in connection with the Tamil mission in Posang and Perak. OB the death of Bishop Gasnier on April 8, 1896, he was elected by votes to succeed him as the THE FAVOURITE ĮBRANDY OF THE

It may be readily admitted that the home. geneous character of the corpe of officers in the Army will have its great advantages for the country. But, on the other hand, there are streng objections to the course of procedure chosen by General André. that the repetition of the Affaire will again cause as much perturbation as in 1898 and 1899. Sure it is, nevertheless, thattheembittered hatred of the parties will find new fuel and that, by the exposure of falsifications and irregulari ties in the central office of state, the reputation of the French Republic will vot appear in a flattering light before foreign observera.
