carried on under those terms. Before writing the article laskod Mr. de Souza what the cost of printing the paper for July had boon, and it was in con- soquence of his statement that I inserted in the article that it was $184. I have since been furnished with a more detail. ed statement by Mr. Imback, taken from the books, showing the cost was $151. It is a matter of fact that Mr. Wicking was for some years employed as a shopman in a store in Queon's road. I believe he was then and since acting as-bookkeeper and general adviser to the late Mr. Kwok Aaheong. Mr. Wicking himself has frequently told
ine 60.
Mr. Gillies also told me sa. When I published the statement I bon- estly believed it to be true. As adviser to Kwok Acheong Mr. Wicking had a great deal of influence in the Cosmo- politan Dock Company, at least so he stated to ino. Io has frequently spoken to ne on matters con- nocted with the dock of advice he gave to Mr. Vincent Smith and Mr. de Courey Forbes. He was commonly spoken of in the colony as the consult. ing director. In speaking of the Com. pany he always used the pronoun "wo," identifying himself with it in that way. I believe he is in some way connected with the Chinese promotors of the op- position to the Sugar Refinery. Mr. McCallum, of Lane, Crawford & Co., stated to me that Mr. Wicking had been sketching out the plaus, Before the article in question appeared I had written on this as a matter of general interest. My reason for saying he has an animus against Jardino, Matheson and Co. is that he told me so. I had written an article about the tramways, A few days after this I went to the Hongkong Hotel to tifin and Mr. Wicking beckoned me to sit beside him. He said "" I am glad to see you are going for Jardines over their at- teinp to start a tramway." I said "I oppose the tramway, not Jardines; I Mr. oppose measures not men."

Mr. Marr, my re- porter, told me that Mr. Smith had told him that before he answered my letter he intended sleeping over it and then taking the advico of Mr. Bain. matter of fact I got no explanation, as I understood, at the instigation of Mr. Wicking. In the article I refer to a "systomatic opposition." Beyond the instances I have mentioned in the article there was nothing out of the way. When I wrote the article I honestly believed that Mr. Wicking, Mr. Bain, and Mr. Smith were opposing mo and that they were working together. I have no personal dislike to Mr. Wicking. Before the publica- tion of the paper we had been on the most friendly terms for years. The article was published in what I consi- dered necessary self-defence against persons whom I believe I had an interest in opposing the paper,
The defendant was then cross-exa- minel at great length, but there was nothing clicited of any particular in terest ontsile the evidence given and the statement of defendant's counsel.

we had a difference on racing questions which led to my resigning my appoint- ment in the Dock Company. Mr. Wicking said he had always opposed Jardines and always would. It is a matter of fact that through the interference of Mr. Wicking I lost three days in commencing the paper, which was started on the 15th June. Although the publication was not delayed we lost the time in the prepa- rations and had to work night and day afterwards. In July I pub- lished an article in two parts on successive days on the Glamis Castle question. I read the article published on the 25th July in the China Mail. I understood that article to refer to the.
Telegraph, and to imply that the Gov- eruor had by some means or other suborned the columns of the Telegraph
to traduce his subordinates, and that I had been got at by the "Press Com- missioner" as he is called. Opinious were frequently expressed to me the subject, and so far as I know the
on
article was understood to refer to me.
The article in the Telegraph was not

Mr. Honry Craw- ford was the first who told me of it. I also heard it from Mr. David Craw ford, Mr. McCallan, Dr. Marques, and many others. The report is utterly- untrue. I made inquiries as to where
it emanated from and was told it came froin the China Mail. When I wrote the article I honestly believed that to be true Sometime before I wrote. the article I was negotiating with Mr. Boalo with a view to engaging him. I recoived from him this letter. [Tho letter was to the offset that the writer could not outertain the proposal which had been rondo to him unless Mr. Robort Smith's statements Wore dis. provod] I had proviously had a conversation with Mr. Boale in which told me
