THE THEORY OF IDENTIFICATION
AN ETTEADITION CASE.
Befors Mr. J. R. Wood, at the Magistracy, yesterday, the ease was called on in which the Chineso Government sought the extradition of
Chan Yok on a charge of robbery in the Ban In
District, Ching.
Mr. Denny, of the Crown Solicitor's offior, appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government and Mr. Crowlker Smith (of Messrs, Almada and Smitb) appeared for the defondant.
His Worship stated that he intended to adjourn the case,
Mr. Smith objected to a remand for further
evidence.
His Worship stated that if the witnessen for
the Crown came before him and could not. identify the prisoner, the eats was flaisted,
Mri Deanga-I submit it is not. Supposing the two witnesses I have cannot identify the msn, I am entitled to call other evidence to prove that be semmitted robbery,
His Worship-Have you more than the two
witnesses or not?
Mr. Denny Yes.
His Worship-You have them in the Colony

Mr. Donnys-No. But it is not necessary for ms to rely on identification.
His Worship-What I want is for you to have your two witnesses ready to identify the prisoner,
Mr. Dennys-They cannot identify the defondant before they have soon him.
His Worship-Toey are presumed to have seen him in China.
Mr. Dennys-You cannot say the whols osse resta on identification,"
His Worship-It thog do not identify him your oase will break down. Evidense of iden tification is part of the case.
Mr. Denny--I submit the identification ought to be held as soon as possible.
His Worship-I will take the case ES GO0Z as possible. (His Worship bere explained the methods adopted for the identification of a prisoner in jail-
Mr. Smith-I understood the man was to be identified in Court when he was placed in the dock.
His Worship-No, he will be placed in a row of twelve men in the jail. If I have any suspicion as to the identibustion I shall throw
the case out.
Mr. Dennys-How can a man promiss to identify another before he sees him?
His Worship-It he knows him, that is what he ought to be able to do.
Mr. Dennys-He is going absolutely blind -to the case.

Bribery, pesulation and such offenious appear to be negomary to the conduct of business, if the business is to pay. In this stmosphere the new party is to work. It is to be hoped we will have a favourable report at the end of the sassion. Unless no new foreign queation of importance to Japan errps ar, foremost among foreign affairs to be discussed by the coming Dist will be Japan's relations with China. The people are impatient for some sign of progress in the three principal matters in the Chien too disputer. They are matters which abeyance, including the Fakumen railway and will tax Count Komurs's ability, and to settle these disputes to the mutual satisfaction of both countries will be a task worthy of the Foreign Minister.

DISABILITIES.
Mr. Taka-si Kato, ex Foreign Minister, the newly-appointed Ambassador to London, severs his connection with the Tokyo Ji in taking up the duties of the new appointment. It is a purious fact that despite the low average level of Japanese journalism, ministries and the ranks of officialdom are not seldom recruited from this scurte. Journalism in this country

The Tokyo-Kobe expresses, which day and night rash through Okitsu etation snorting with scorn, deigned to pull up at the village, and many mas, lords and commoners, alighted, to the intense gratification of the rikishamen and innkeepers of the village. Day after day this went on, hundreds gaming and going. History repeats itself. Okitax was in the old days an important post-town on the Tokaido, but with the coming of the railway it sank fato decay, for the main highway from Tokyo to Kyoto then lost its importance. But in the fow wosks daring which the Elder Stateeman, Marquis Inouye, was ill there has been a temporary return of the old prospority and activity with which many of the people were familiar forty years ago.
