ECHOES OF 1859
68 Prize Offered For Best
Water Supply Plan.
(OCTOBER 16, 1859)
We hall with delight the not- cation in last Saturday's Gazette offering a prize of one thousand dollars for the most feasible plan of construction works for supplying the city with water. We look upon this as an Ladication of those en- lightened ideas, the possession of which it was understood was the cause of H.E. Sir Hercules Robin son being selected as Governor of this Colony. We have said 40 much. about it, that we feel as it were bound to send in a plan of some kind or other, and compete for the prize.
How we shall find the levels we do not exactly know, nor is it specified at what grade of the town the water. is required to be delivered-bor is the quantity of the water required named. We should suggest that these omis- sions be supplied, and than the Surveyor "General be required to mark the hill here and there, both East and West, indicating the height at which it is required the aqueduct should be placed.
We hope that no more dribbling half measures may be resorted to and that an abundant volume of water m83 be insisted on. We think the grade of the Union Chapel is about the proper level. The higher it is the more expan- sive it will be, and the smaller the supply of water

We are happy to hear of an- ather indication of the Governor's discrimination and enlarged views H.E. pardoned the three men, who through more thoughtlessness, were accessory to the homicide of John Wade. We do not wish to breed strife whilst applauding an act of mercy and humanity, and
therefore all we shall say is that they have already suffered enough and more than, enough.
As for our unfortunate contem porary, we now understand HE motives for refusing the prazer of the petition in the manner he did. We dare say that what we wrote may have done some harm. as no man of spirit likes being builted into a thing, but we be- lieve the real cause was that poor

The Criminal Sessions for De- cember opened at the Supreme Court yesterday when Chu Lam, an alleged accomplice, was charged with the murder of Fung“ Man (65), a boatwoman, at the Yau- mati Typhoon Shelter or the morning of September 11.-.
Mr, Thomas Tam, instructed by. Messrs. Denny's and Co. represent- ed Chu, the case for, the Crown being in the hands of Mr. J. A. Fraser, Assistant Attorney General.

of Messrs. "W. M. Pattendrigh (fore- man), D. C. 8. Alves. J. E. V. Ribeiro, A Samy, E, Cox V. F. D. Azevedo, and M. A. Simoes,"
Outlining the case for the pro- secution, Mr. Fraser said the body of the woman was found floating in her own passenger sampan in the typhoon shelter on the morn- ing of September 11 The woman was dead from the effects of a Ligature fastened tightly round her throat and mouth while the boat had been ransacked. A week later, the police arrested a gang of men, and three of them, includ- ing prisoner, were charged. Sub- sequently the charges against the other two were droppd. The case against prisoner included the evi- dence of an accomplice who would say that prisoner, and others met and planned the robbery and that he, the accomplice, watched from the bank after the others had. engaged the same and pushed off.

Another boatwoman, Ng | Mul said she saw the boat drifting about and after the police had taken the body away she found an ear-ring on the deck, which she later handed over to the inves- tigators..
The afternoon session was taken up by Cheung Shiu Shing who told. the Court that he met the accused. and others in an opium divan and at a meeting held later that night, "they planned to rob deceased. Witness said he did not want to take part in the killing" so he was deputised to keep watch.
Witness then told of how they all met together, before going out on "the job" and after further evidence was taken the case was adjourned until 10 am. to-day.

Mr. Hamilton said the defend- ant actually had to pay-the sum of $1,150, 00 SI1 order dating back from May last with custs. He would, therefore, fx, bail the sum of $1,000, and, adjourn the case until January 2. He sincere. ly hoped the case would then be settled, as he understood there was a strong feeling on the part of the other side that the defend- ant could pay.
