Mr. Treadlock said when he was called to the house his wife spoke in a most unintelligible

Mr. G. A. Hereford. D.P.P., opened the caso for the prostaation and stated that the charge was at present one of murder of Mr. Steward. The Facts; so far as the palios had been able to ascertain, were as follows. Ou Sunday night Inst Mr. Stoward was dining with some friends when suddenly he got up and said he had an
B appointment at nine o'clock. He rushed out of the hotel, apparently in a hurry, as he insisted on employing a private rigsha not ordinarily available for hira. He appears to Lave gone direct from the hotel to the aconsel's house. It further appears that on the night in question the accused, who is a married woman, her has band being a master of the Victoria Institution, was dining by herself, ber Tosbazil with M
The ricsha coolie, having taken Stoward the house, was told to wait a little way off,
off, which he apparently did, with his bank to the house in a position which did not enable him to see what was going on in the house. The coolie states that after about ten minutes he heard two or three reports of Broarias being dischar ed, Ilo then got out of the ricsha and woat up to the house." He noticed no light on the verandah, but apparently saw the man who kod employed him rushing ont towards him. The goolie baing frightened ran away and took bis riosba with bi As he ran be heard three more distinct reports. The next evidence wouli be the cook, who was the only other inmate in the bouse, the arah and the boy haring des parted for the night. The cook states that he was smoking at the back of the house when he heard gun reports. He took no notice until he heard tho voice of the accused, which appeared to come from the side of the house. She told him to call her husband, which he lid at ones. "He went apparently to Mr. Ambler's house in Brickfields Road, whore ko culiet Mr. Proud- look, who on arrival at the school premises with Mr. Ambler mot the accused.

The reason she gave was that ha melosted her and made improper proposals to her, and so, being frightened of what he was going to de, picked up the revolver which happened to be on the bookcase and shot him. That was on the veraudaḥ,
Mr. Hereford said he did not rely on the accused's statement that sho killed the deceased, There was also the fact that when she was found afterwards it was seen that her dress was cover ed with blood and there was also the mark of powder on one finger of the right hand. He did not think the question, which was whether the accused was the person who shot the deceas ed, really presented any difficulties. All the evidence, he thought, pointed unmistakably in that direction.

Continuing. Mr. Herofoni said that firstly there Wax the evidence that deceased had stated ho bad an appointment. That, he thought, showed that the dootused wast have been aware of the fact that he would find the aconsed in the house by herself that night. It was diffault to see how he could baro know unless the consed told him. This pointed to there having been some communication between Mr. Hereford said he would not ask his Wor- ship to place too great a reliance on the scolio's evidance as to the time of the occurrence, as that would be borne ant by other ovilence, which showed that the docensed left the Empire Hotel socording to the coolie about 8.45 p.m. (Mr. Gilmour put it a little later). Deceased would get to the Institution about 9.10 p.m certainly not before nine o'clock. According to the evidence of the people in Mr. Ambler's housa tha cook sericed there shortly after-9.25

Mr. Heroford did unt think that que could suppose that deceased would go straight into the house and proceed at once to violate Mrs. Proudlook. That seemed impossible to imagine, and the fast that he was thore a very short time made her story not very easy to believo. perhaps Then there was the fact that when the deceased was discovered by Wyatt the clothing was examined and found to be entirely intact and not dis arranged. The medical evidence also did not ebow any accomplishment of violation If it were a fact that the revolver had only been fired on the verandah the case would wear a different esport, but the evidence would clearly prove that not to be the case Mr. Hereford commented on the nature of the wounds and dealt with the appearance of the verandah. He said the rug on the floor was not disturbed or crumpled and the only thing that was upset was a very fiassy Japanese table with books upon it. A wicker eland near by was appar ently not upset. It was suggested that although dining alone the accused was dressed in evening dress, and bor husband says that that is quile asual for her even when alone. That was not incredible, but the question had to be corridored whether it does not point to the expectation of e visit from the deceased.

Japan's chief orparts to Germany are cam. pher, fish-oil and whale oil, silk tissues, copper ingots and slabs, straw plaits, and wood-chip braids.
In the tariff schedule the duties on the chief German exports to Japan were not increased by a long way to the samas extent as the duties on British goods, so that Gormany, in her negotiations, enters a battle less severo, and is at the same time batter armed, than was the case with Great Britain.
