The Chief Justice said:-Mr. Attorney Claneral," before proceeding with the business of the Court I desire to refer to the inestimable loss which the Court bae suffered in the death of ita chief interpreter. Mr. Nolah had spent all his official life here. His knowledge of the Chinese language in all its various dialecta was great, and he may be fitly described as an ideal Chinese interpreter, In this Court his assistance in the ad ministration of justice was wast, and it will be no easy matter to Ell his place. I have been in close personal contact with him for some eight years, and much valued his co-operation in the heavy Litigation which has often engaged the attention of the Court. I greatly deplore his premature death. It is fitting that we should express our sincere sympathy with his widow and children in their

The Attorney-General stated that the der was committed opposite No. 42 Des Voux Rond, where a gang robbery had taken place. The scene was close to the Wing Lok Wharf from where the Macao steamers sailed. The deceased was not at the shop, where the robbery was committed, but was standing at a shop on the opposite side of the road. The case for the Crown was that the shot which killed the man was the shot which was bred by the rabbers at an Indian con- stable, in order to enable the robbers to complete their robbery and carry away their booty and to prevent their apprehen sion by the same constable. He was not in a position to prove which of the rob bers ared the shot that killed the man.
