All this is, of course, very funny, but it is hardly creditable to the Government that itshould be so indifferently represented on any public board as certainly appears to be the case here. What was the insult, the reflection on the honour of the official members, of which Mr. FRANCIS was, so promptly convicted without trial by the Acting Registrar General, the Colonial Surgeon, and the Surveyor General ?

The China Mail, which for years was the thick-and- thin admirer of and general toady to that magni- ficent genius, M, John Macneile Price, now says that it is the firm conviction of nearly every resident that the abnormal pollution of carelessness and mismanagement on the part of the Pok-fu-lam reservoir was the result of grass, the late Surveyor General By the way, did address to Mr. Price—as a return for past favors?
The Judge Advocate read the circumstantial letter sent in by Captain Henderson, which set forth that the defendant arrived here on the 28th April, and joined his ship the same day. Next day a second class petty officer named William Piddler was reported sick. The defendant was then in
ordered to leave by the mail next day, to join the Linnef, at Singapore, During the week he reported Piddler as doing well, and said that no particular attention was required. At the week end Captain Henderson visited Piddler and was Lo certain that the case was serious that he again asked the defendant, who assured him that the man was in no danger. On the morning of the roth the prisoner recommended that Piddler, be sent to Hospital. The ship was going into the dock, and no boats could be got just then, but later on a cutter was obtained, and Captain Henderson gave orders that all necessary arrangements should be made for sending the man ashore in it. He afterwards found that Fiddler had been sent ashore in Dr. Patterson's to walk down the side. He was then taken to skiff, and that although he was dying he was told
