From the following letter he will see that he is impugned in his Latin rudiments-Our object for inserting this is to put him right in his overland issue:-
"My Dear Sir-When was learning the Latin Grammar I was impressed with the rule that the preposition "per" governs the ablative and the accusative cases. it is such a long time since, that I am at a loss to know why your contemporary makes it governs the nominative case when he says in his last remarks upon the Coolie Trafic that "premiums of $20 or 830 "per caput" were offered to Chinese brokers.

In the next place he says that Art. V. of the United States Treaty with China "shows how exceeding ly well the American Embassy was treated at Pekin." Now consider ing that Article V. and all the other articles of that treaty were made more than "one year before the U.8.

MARINE COURT CASE.
Leaving Port Without Clearance.
A Chinese boatinan named Leung Chui, aged 48 years of Junk "No." T5093H, appeared before Comman- der Hole at the Marine "Court yesterday, charged with leaving
port without a clearance from the Harbour, Master last Monday.
Water Police Sergeant May who prosecuted, told Els Worship that while he was on duty in the Water Police Launch last Monday night, he met with the defendant's boat, which at that time was leaving the port. He stopped the defen- dant and asked if he had got a clearance from the Harbour Master before he was leaving. but the defendant failed to produce it.
The defendant in pleading guilty, sald that he forgot to go to the Harbour Office to get a clearance, as he thought his cousin, had already done so.
The Magistrate, however, impos- ed a fine of $10 on the defendant or one week hard labour in de- fault.
INDIAN FINED $50.

Sub-Inspector Fender said the first defendant was a friend of the complainant, and on the after noon of January 13 visited him at May Hall, and, while complainant was away, went off with the articles. He was arrested on Man- day afternoon in Queen's Street. Both defendants were going back to Swatow on the ss. Hydrangea.
Li Chung Lin admitted the theft of the trousers and one fountain pen and pencil.
Mr. Hamilton remarked that he would bind him over in $60 to keep the peace for six months, as he was a young man and had not been in trouble before.
As defendant desired-to be sent) back to Swatow, Mr. Hamilton re manded him in police custody until
the boat leaves.
The second defendant also ex- pressed a wish to be sent to Swa- tow, and as he was willing to re- main in police custody, Mr. Hamil- ton agreed, saying the Poor Box would pay ang money necessary for their fare.

His Worship remarked that he would not grant the remand had the case not been of such a serious nature. The defendant had ample time to arrange his defence but na Mr. Cole had only been in- structed, within such a short time he would remand, the case will next Monday after.
He warried Mr. Cole that he would be severe in dealing with the defendant unless, of course the defence had proved its cake,
