DISOBETING LAWFUL ORDERS. Caplan Cusson, of the British ship Simtu, charged three of his crow with disobeying
lawful orders.
The Captain stated that on Thursday the defondants went ashore to see the Harbour Master without his leave, and did not return; the Harbour Master had previously informed witness that the crew would not be required that day.
As the defendants informed his Warship that they were willing to return to their ship, he discharged then with a cantion.
GRIEVOUS BODILY HARD,
A natire cook, employed by a shopkeeper at Shamenipe, was charged with causing his master grievous bodily harm by inflicting serious' wounds on the said master's person with a obopper.
T'ho defendant admitted the obargo, and waS sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

festivals. One day it is the grandfather, another the grandmother, father, mother, uncles. aunts, brothers, sisters, all pass in turn, and of course the bays are required to enhance the solemnity. I think that parents who under stand the importance that men of business and education attach to purotaality should insiab on the children's adherence to the requirements of the school or college in which they place them. Permission of ab-ence when asked for sball .pover be refused if sufioiont reason is given for much an absence. It is very unplea. Bant whot parents efter keeping their children at home for a day or more, will simply give a acribble to the effect that the boys were absent with their consent, thus leading them on tos spirit of independents and insubordination which will inevitably charactorize them in after years.
The Report of the Inspector of Schools was as follows:-
Disc pline and Organization ---Good. Stan- dard I. has been divided into two divisions in deference to H.E. the Governor's advice giron at the last prize-giring, that particular atten- tion should be paid to the beginners. I regret to say that nothing has been deue to teach the Chinese their own language. Attention was drawn to this point in last year'a report, Ons boy I questioned, a boy of about fiftora, did not cannot read the simplest letter, notice or un know a single character. When a Chineas eror a shop, he cannot be called properly educated. For this reason I am unable to report that the organisation is thoroughly efficient."
His Excellency ben- presented the prizes and it can safely be said that there was never a more expeditions presentation at any school in Hongkong, the arrangement made by the masters saving a great deal of time.
The Governor then said:-Rev. Father: The report of the Inspector of Schools in⠀ not entirely satisfactory and I trast his obtaining an improvement in the coming year. remarks will be considered with a view to

I am not sure that you are entirely well advind to wid the new subjects of shorthand, typewriting, and book-keeping to the curricnlum of the College. Unless boys remain under instruction for longer than they do now the addition of new subjects will tend to lower the standard attained
In examinations time is wasted by copying out the questions and ruling unnecessary lines. The boys frequently forget to put their names and the school at the top of their papers.

this company has done for the individual sbareholder anfl for the directors. I have beau a shareholder in this Company from its installa- tion. I baliera, if my memory serves me correctly, that for the first year or half year, I don't remember which, a dividend was paid, but since then we shareholders have looked in valu for a return on our money. On the contrary we have seen our capital written down 50
by par crot. That is one side of the question. Let as see what it has done for the directors. Dur ing the same period they have each taken, not out of the profits but ont of the capital of the Company, Tls. 16,0 0, and I say this is men strous. The consciences of the directors muxt be as elastic as their pockets to enable them to do so. But that is not all. I find the istne directors appearing in nearly ovory other com pay in Shanghai.

I think I had botier net wait and hear any discussion on my suggestion,
Mr. BUTLER then took up his hat and cont. The CHAIRMAN: I don't quite know. Mr. Butler, why you have taken upon yourself to make those remarks. There is eno point on which I should like to correct you with out referring at all to the attacks you ba made upon the directors of the various Shanghai companies. You may the directors of "this company receive Tha 1,000 per annum, That is not a correct statement. The remuneration
is Tla. 750.
Mr. BUTLER-I apologise for that. The CHAIRMAN-I think you will admit that any man that works los to be paid.
Mr. BUTLER Fully.
The CHAIRMAN—And so far as the Ewo Col- tou Epinning and Weaving Co. is concerned. it has received from the members of the onsulting Committee good work, and I do not think that the public of Shanghai will consider the re- muneration of Ts. 750 in any way Dresssive. As far as your attacks on the other directors of the various other Shanghai companies are con- cerned it doesn't devolve on me to defend them. I think that is all I have to say.
Mr.BUTLER Im sorry to say I cannot gres with you. The directors of this Company have neither the tencbnical or practical Enowledge! necessary to run a cotton mill and therefore there only remains the supervision of cocounts and I cannot see that that is worth Tls. 250 a year.
Mr. MOLEOD-There is a slight other mistake alae in your remarks, Mr. Butler; you certainly made an inference which is not borne out. You referred to me as being a director of a great many companies; I admit it. There are a good meny directorships which I would willingly give up, but I am elected by the shareholders and I um bound to serve. Then you say I do nothing on the Municipal Council; well I have served for many years
