A NEW LOTTERY.
In place of the Wai Sing lottery, we are going to hare another called the San-piu. It is reported that a sum of more than $150,000 per ausum was offered to the Government for
the monopoly of this new lottery. Undoubtedly this offer must have come from the persnuß interested in the old Waż Sing lottery,
THE LATE PANCY FAIR.
Mr. A. Pacheca, the vice-president of the Fancy Fair held here last month for the benefit of the school for Chiness hoge, requested this Rev. Adriano Gomes, the promotor of the fair, to pablish the accounts. A committee meeting was held last-Thursday, and decided to do

Thanks to the good idea of Mr. Pacheco, the public will soon know the result of this fair. Apropos this, what is done with the money for the reconstraction of S. Poulo? Was it all frittered away ou coromony? Is there any left to enery on the actual work? If there is, why is not a start mndy?
A BAD ACCIDENT.
Berros was picked up unconscions, and was found by his friends to have fractured his ankle. He was taken to a house near by. and examined by a doctor, who raid that he entertained no hope for the limb which has to by ampritated. Mr. Barres was conveyed to Hongkong yesterday.
A WARNING TO SPORTAMEN.
Mr. Dixon related the circumstances under which the claim arose. He said the plaintiff was approached by a man named Mik Sing Tong, who told him he was the agent for the defendant, and had instructions to endeavour to obtain a loan of $21,000 on proparty at No. 142 Queen's Road Central. He asked the plaintif if he would obtain this monoy, and sail that in the event of his finding it his brokerage would be at the rate of one per cont. In pursuance of this order the plaintiff at once approached a man named Chuk Yuk Tim, who agreed to advance the money provided the title of the property was in order. Plaintiff then went and saw the defendant, and told him that he had obtained the money. The deads of the property were eventually taken to Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist, and when the title was examined the mortgageswanadriend not to lend the money on the security, and the arrangements foll through.
His Lordship-Where is the commissier? Me, Dixon-It was not in consequence of any fault of the plaintiff that the title was wrong, and I submit that he is entitled to his commission.
Continuing, Mr. Titzen said that the plaintiff saw the defendant's agent, and asked about his commission. The agent told the plaintiff that defendant wont not pay it, but said that he (the agent) would try to bring pressurs to bear in the matter. Nothing had been done, however, consequently this action was brought.
man
Mr. Thomson--I submit there is no case. His Lordship-Well, I can't see it at present. What are your arguments?
Mr. Thomson-The mortgago was not oblain- comes along and says he wil ed. If a Jend $20.000 and does not do it, he cannot claim brokerage. The defendant was willing to accept the amount, but it was not paid over, consequently he did not have the advantage of it.
His Lordship-But the title was not alright. Mr. Thomson-It was not to Mr. Beavis satisfaction, as he was the solicitor acting for the mortgagee, Mr. Thomson then proceeded to quote cases showing that no claim could be upheld where the money had not been paúl over unless there was an allegation of fraudulent delay or wilful nøglect.

His Lordship-It is an understood condition in those brokers' transactions that the title must
be good. In this case the title was bad, and that is the point I want to hear you on.
Mr. Thomson-But the $90,000 was not obtained unless it was actually banded over to the mortgages.
His Lordship-The wonry was ready. Mr. Thomson-But not handed over. His Lordship-That is not the point though. Mr. Thorasou--There has been no wilful neglect on the part of the defendant, and he has derived, no honefit from the plaintiff's service

The proprietor parted with the money and shortly after the Chiuaman loft the shop, not long afterwards the Indian returned and said he had lost $33 in the premises.

His Lordship said the case revealed a big swindle, and if Mr. Thomson wished it be would allow him to amend the writ, and give judgment against Lo Chau and immediate exocation. He would also write to the Captain Superintendent of Police about this shop, and point out that they were deing a thriving trade in the shipping of stowaways,
Mr. Thomson-I submit that I ought to get judgment against the boarding house as well.
His Lordship--No, no. Your client is as bad as they are.
Mr. Thomson-If the firm aro negligent enough to allow their chop to bo used for the chopping of a receipt, surely they are responsible for their negligence!
His Lordship What I am incline to do is to tell the police about these people and give immediato execution against Lo Chau.

Then it is clear that the outbreak was siso sudden.

Butterfield und Swire was killed by some drunken American bluejackets at Canton, in a freak; without any premeditation, they took him bodily and
