were three of my four, children on the samanvember I brought them to the Water Polico that night,
By the Hon. Dr. Io Kai-I had left my boat a little over an hour when I first saw the prisoners. I was standing about three or four choung from my boat. I did not meet any of my friends daring that hour. Forst of all I bought some fruit, and then was tacking for business. I did not notice any Europeans passing by during that hour, though I was looking for them; and I saw no constables I first saw the first prisoner coming from the direction of the German Theatre. It was very dark. I looked into the sumpan and saw these exhibits before the prisoners left.
Kwok Sn. son of the first witness, in his evidence suid-We went out rowing, but the foreigners put up the sail. I was in the bow rowing my mother was steering in the store, also my two sisters; y nine-year-old brother was asleep in the main hold. I eatinted rowing after the sail was put up. First of all I saw one of the prisoners pressing my mother down. Next, another of the prisonors pressed my sister down: I was pressed down too, by that prisoner (William Nason). First of all Nason was sitting down in the well, and then he came forward. He put his two bands around my neek. He bit me on the hand just above the sar. He cut my leg with a small knife. He had not the knife in his hand when be first attacked me; he got it during the struggle. The straggle lasted some time; about half an hour. He was trying to tie my feet with a cord. Finally, he threw me overboard. I swam towards the American steamer, and a boat came to where I was and picked me up. I shouted out "Save life." I clung on to the rudder of the American steamer (one funnel and three inuts). I was about half an hour in the water. I told the samjan people what had. happened. They were on their way to Yaama. ti, but turned around and camo to Hongkong. I got dry clothes on the sampan, and was brought to where my father was. My mother and Kwok Pit were still on board when I was thrown overboard.
I have mover seen my mother alire since. I was taken to the gaol to identify the prisonors. There were numerous foreigners put in a row; I identified the third prisoner (William Nason). When I was thrown overboard I was near the Austrian Lloyd steamer.

By Mr. Ferros-The boy complained that ho had been bitten on the head and otherwise sulted. At that time he said nothing about injury to his ankle, or about the knife.
Re-examined-Ho complained of having been thrown overboard.

Dr. William Hunter, M.O. in charge of post-mortem examinations, said:-On the 3rd December I made an exauduation of the body of Chan Yee. From the examination I should say she had been dead about a week, and canso of death, drowning. I also examined the body of a child. i should say the cause of death and longth of time in this case was the same as in the former. Wounds immediately before death would not have been visible.
By Mr. Ferrers-I could not see any marks of violence on the body of the woman.

Kerr said:-On the irrning of the gol December I was on the shore ut Sha Kong in Deep Bay, and mas the three prisoners going along the shore towards With several Indian police Mong Ching. constables I arrosted the prisoners. They turned back, hat could not get away. On one of them (Hognau) was found a looking-glass and a small sum of money, something less than two dollars.

THE MAILS.
The following letters appeared in the minutes of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce
Shanghai, 21st October. 1904. The Chairman,
The London Chamber if Commerce,
Oxford Court, London, E.C SIR, The irregularity and uncertainty of the arrival of letters from Europo forwarded by this Messageries Maritimes has for some long time caused great, ingonvenience and dissatisfaction among merchants and others here.
During the surront your the mails by English Packet have been delivered on an average in 32.1 days, by German Pucket in 33.6 days, and by Frew Pocket in 23.1 days.
The chief onuse of complaint. however, is not in respect of the difference in the average Lino. but, as above stated, in the irregularity and uncertain y altuched to the arrival of the French Mail,
The uccosupanying table [omitted] showing dates of departure and arrival, mumber of days ccupied in transit, and the interval between arrivals of French and English Mails, demon. strates, I think very clearly, that the iden of a weekly sorrice is very far from realisation.
Eurojan cerospondoats are apt to imagine that in posting duplicates of English Mail ansuring the arrival of letters and documents in adriens by the following Fronch Mail, they are advance of cargo. This, however, is by no ioans the case, and serious inconvenience and delay are caused by the reverse of this being s common experience,
It is possible that this state of affairs is not so fully appreciated at Home as it is on this By Mr. Ferrom-The arrest was inade three sile, and as this haber feels that the matter is or four miles from Chinese territory.
The one of very considerable importance I venture to ask the good oflees of your Chambor in prisoners did not try to get away. They were bringing it to the notice of the Postal Authori following a line that would have brought them ties, in the hope that a solution of the difficulty into Chinese territory.
may be found, either in the improvement of the present service or in its substitution by another
Ro-examined-They could not have got away us I had Indian constables both before nud behind them.
The Chief Detective Inspector, Mr. Hanson, asid-At about 9 am. on the 28th November, I first saw the boy. He had a fresh mark on the right side of the head, and a long incised wound on the right leg above the aukle. I took it to have been inflicted by a knife. The boat- mau who identifled the first prisoner did not make any false identifications. The man who identified the other prisoners picked out ono wrong one. Some days later I went with the little girl to Lantas Island and found this exhibit (the piece of the tea stand).
Mr. Hanson here read the statements made by the prisoners when charged at the police
and more officent medium.
I may add that it has happened more than once that an overdue French Mail has been laught from Singapore or Hongkong by an English Mail steamer, thus bringing within the range of possibility the loss of both original and duplicate ndricos, contingency which might involve very serious consequence.
I am also addressing the Manchester Chamber of Commerce on this subject.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant. (Signed) WILLIAM D. LITTLE,

Ho did not wish to say more on that point, but the men belonged to a class which was becoming a eurse to the community. Acting for the Crown, he did not desire to unduly press the charge against the unhappy man, but he thought that when the jury had heard the evidence they would not be able to entertain doubt that they were guilty of the charge..
