THE ACTION FOR ALLEGED WRONGFUL-
MIZU
Kr. Showen--The jury feel it their duty to draw the attention of your Lordship to the very objectionable system pursued by Chinese firms of concealing the identity of their partners in their accounts by the use of fictilious desig nations or "tong" names, and are of option that firms that keep their books in this manner should not be allowed the benefit of the Courts of this Colony.
His Lordship directed the Deputy-Registrar to note the representation, and the Court adjourned.

THE CROWN AGENTS AND COLONIAL CONTRACTORS.
There is no greater anomaly in the Crown Agents system (says Commerci i Intelligence) than that the Colonies, which—unfortunately for them—are compelled to support it, are absolutely tied to it for the purchase of ordinary ateres for Government service, and that the Crown Agents have the power to forbid the Colonial Governments making any local pur- alisses even when it would be to their flasnoisl advantage to do so.
Sacha aystem in obviously unfair to the firms in this country should be dealt with by tonder the Crown Agents on the open system, we recognise that from the point grievance that they are compelled to make all their purohanes through this red-taped and hide-bound office, even when the articles required own be more speedily purchased from agents of British firms on the spot, and some- times more economically,
