At page 1362 of the papers is the verdict of the special jury in the case of Chit Runeen Parbohut. In the opening of the Case, the Counsel for Bee Grown said that J. Bowring and Dr Bridges were on their trial. The verdict of the jury found them, in effect, guilty of a corrupt and damnable trick to defeat the ends of justice. This too without hearing a word of the defence, a perusal of the evidence shows that no other verdict was possible.
These three remarkable and signal triumphs of justice, were owing to the extraordinary ability, undaunted courage, unswerving perseverance, and conspicuous honour and integrity of Eure Custey. He is dismissed, and the criminals favourit!!!

I have the honour to bring to Your Lordship's notice, the enclosed letters from Mr W. Tarrant, who has been transferred to the Debtors' Jail at Hongkong, for non-payment of the costs of the late action for libel against Colonel Caine, for which he has suffered six months imprisonment, in the common Jail.
I believe Your Lordship will hold with me that it is hardly fair that the offender not only undergoes incarceration for his offence but also has to pay the costs to the Crown.
