The plaintiffs were engaged on a letter sigued by the Captain of the ss. Sequoy TJITAROEM but they "afterwards' sigued the ship's FJIBODAS articles, and the case turned largely on the question which ⋅ document governed the relations between the employers and the employed.
The Acting Chief Justice, after dum- marising the facts of the case," said that! in his opinion the letter of agreement and the articles must clearly bo' read together. He did not agree that the words in the letter, to and fro,!" meant from New-York to the Orient and back; a more natural construction was to take them as equivalent to the words: from port to port! ΟΥ between ports.' It would have beely easy to make an

York and thence again to the Orient if } this was what the parties intended. The natural and "ordinary meaning of the words is not that which Mr. Alabaster puts upon them. Nor is the contention that plaintiffs were entitled to discharge in New York in any way tenablo, either on the letter, or the letter and the Articles read together.
Coming to the claim that the plaintiffs" had an engagement for a minimum period of 18 months-this is equally hopeless on any construction of the letter--whether read in conjunction with or without the articles. I am not surprised that Coun

When however the plaintiffs go into the box it is quite clear that this is not only their main point, but their only one They did not care whether they returned to Now York or not, or, at what port they were discharged, provided they got as they say a minimum agreement of 18 months.
I have considered very carefully the evidence on commission and the oral ovi. dence given here and 1 ain satisfied that the typed words of the upper left hand corner of the first page of the Artioles were adequately explained to the plain- tiffs, with no doubt the necessary modi fications." A misunderstanding there un doubtedly was, and it was due, I think, to the fact that the plaintiffs, from what ever cause had come to believe before they went to the shipping office that 19 months was the minimum period' and therefore paid no attention to the other heads of the agement, excepting of course the rate of salary.
But the vessel cannot be held respon- Bible for this, which was in no way the fault of the Master of the Agents.

A STABBING AFFRAY.
CHINESE CHARGED WITH MURDER,
At the Magistracy, before Mr. G. N. Orme, yesterday, the first hearing took place of a case in which Chan Cheung Shing was charged with the murder of a man named Fan Hin
The Assistant Crown Solicitor (Mr. Hazlerigg) prosecuted, and Mr. M. K. Lo defended. The case was a sordid one; the deceased was killed in a brothel. It was alleged that he had ill-treatel one of the women in the house, and one of her friends organised a party to rovengo her. The affair developed into a stabbing affray, in which several men took part on either side, and the prose cution alleged that the prisoner was one of the men concerned and that he had Therefore, though he might a dagger. not have actually struck the fatal blow (said Mr. Hazlerigg) he was a murderer in the eyes of the law, if it were proved that he took part in the attack.
H.B. WARING CO.
It has been definitely decided that the H. B. Waring Company, who have been so long anounced, will open their season in Hongkong on Saturday, April 18th. On all sides come reports of the very great pleasure gived this Company in all the centres so far visited. One of the most notable features of their ger formance is the wonderful clearness of their enunciation. This is accounted for by the fact that they are practically all Bensonians, and, as everyone knows, dic- tion is the great Benson's strongest point. Headed by such artists as Chias Quartermaine and Miss Jeannette Sbor win, both vory well-known in the Old Country, we can confidently look forward to a genuine treat
