ALLEGED BANKRUPTCY OFFENCES. Ngo Tez Sau wus placed in the dock charged
with certain offences under the Bankruptcy Ordinazoo. The Hon Mr. C. G. Alainsfor instructed by Mr. W. E. L. Shonisu, conducted the case for the proscention, and the Hon. Mr.
E. Pollock, R.C., instructed by Mr. Leo
d'Almada, appeared for the defores.
Mr. Pollock applied that conats 2,3, and 4 he quashed as being bad for duplicity, To call these county lad for duplicity was to me is very mild expression. Counts 2 and 3 contained no laser than eleven distinot chargos with referencn to no less than pleven distinct matters, As hig Lordships was aware, the jury if asked to find the prisoner guilty an count 2 could not return a propar verdict, Count 4 was a count which cuntained four charges of forgery and four churgos of attering and knowing them to be forged. They wore serious charpes.
Fia Lordship-If the prisoner plonds und guilty there must be a jury.

The Bishop, we notice, has been lecturing lately on the subject of gambling in China. Though his Lordship confessed that he had such a horror of gambling that he would not even visit a gambling house as a tourist, yet, he said, it was impossible to pass over interest in the fact that so capable and intellectual a race as the Chinese should have been content with one gambling game, fan-tan, for thousands of years."
