HARBOURING BEACHCOMBERS.
Dotective Sergeant Sullivan, P.S. 27, charged Choung Man Ban, befors Mr. G. N. Orme at
the Police Court on Saturday, with keeping an eating house without a licence at No. 62, Quoon's Road Central, first floor. Dofendant was also obarged with keeping no nolicensed boarding bouse for Europeans of the beachcombing class.
Some months ago the defendant applied to the Court for the necessary lioneus, but owing to his alleged previous had record, these were refused. Notwithstanding the refusals, defen- dant has since carried on hia business without licences. It will be remembered that on the ouension of the holding up of the Chinese Club in Jerrois Street, the defendant allowed two of the robbers to enter his house at 2an., nad they were found thers the police at 6 am.
His Worship inflicted a the of $100 on the first count, $25 on the secònd, and ordered him to discontinue the business, at the same time hinting that it might be as well for him to clear out of the colony.
THE "NIGBETIA" CASE. The Japan Chronicle comments: The decision in the case of the Nigretia serves to show the distinction between Japanese and English law, a point which is of importance when it is borne in mind that, according to Professor Holland, the Japanese Prize Law is borrowed, for the most part, from the British Admiralty Manual of Prize Law. It will have been seen that in the decision in the case of the
Nigreti, confirming the ventiscation of the steamer and her cargo, the whole question turns upon the responsibility of the vessel for the shipment of two Russian offcars on tas steamer who were placed in charge of the cargo of kerosene by the chartorer, a Russian roxident at Shanghai. The master of the vesse pleaded that he had no knowledge of the nationality or profession of the two super- cargoes, that they represented themselves as Germans, spoke German between themasivos, and that he had every reason to bellayo they ware what they represented themselves to be. "The petitioner," says the Court, "maiatsiz od that in shipping two Russian nayal officers he had no idea that they were naval officers, and he ploided that he was not guilty of any delinquancy in not knowing them to be novel officers.

The inference is that France, for her own sake, wishes Russia to overcome her enemy and, therefore, there was reason to suppose that French officials would be only too glad to lend all assistance in Indo-China to Russia's forlorn hope.
