he succeeded two notoriously helpless incompetents, who were mere tools la the hands of the late Surveyor General and his patrons, and consequently had a very difficult task from the beginning. And we are bound to say that, generally speaking, he has under most disadvan- tageous circumstances achieved a very considerable amount of success. That he has made mistakes goes for the saying. but that he has honestly and fairly done his best is also beyond question. Thus favourably disposed towards His Excel- lency's rigime, it adds to our regret to find the representative of Britain's majesty lowering himself to take the leading part in a childish burlesque, to the detriment of his own, dignity and good name.

defendant was liable for the return of the papers. As Acting Coastguard Commissioner the defendant was found to have custody of the mi and if he had not he must suffer for it,
Mr. Justice Wise sald the argument was at the trial that because he received those documents be, must be in custody of them,

Suppose for instance the Acting Registrar was asked to produce à docu- ment which had been placed in the custody of the Registras, and he was unable to do so, and the person go placing the document suffered considerable damage by its not being forthcom- ing, would it be any defence for the Acting Registrar tosay that he was sorry his predecessor had carried away the the document in his port- manteau ?

The Acting Chief Justice thought it would be a very good defence.
Mr. Pollock said that Mr. Morgan was not even able to show that Captain Clayson had carried off these documents.
The Acting Chief Justice said he knew Mr. Pollock was only puiting à hypothetical case, but why should the Acting Registrar be bound to suffer for his predecessor actions.

The Acting Chief-Justice raid this action was with reference to a personal liability, not að official one. If it was a case of official liability then his action should have been brought against the Chinese Government.
Mr. Pollock submitted that that was hardly so, and referred his Lordship to some authority on the point. Mr. Morgan had committed a wrongful act in detaining these papers.
Hi Lordship-He has not detained them. He has not got them. How can he detain what he has not got..
Mr. Pollock said he should have had them.
He was fiable by law to be called upon to produce then, and he should have asked Captain Clayson for them when he took Captain Clayson's post.
The Acting Chief Justice said it had not been shown that Cepin Clayesn was justified in keeping these documents. Why should defend- and ask for de uments which Captain Clayson should never have kept? Why should be suppose that Captain Clayson had them? Hehnd handed them to Captain Mayson, hua ke might naturally have assumed that plaintiff bad asked for them back. He said, there was no rule in the service on the matter.
Mr. Pileck asked who were they entitled to Sue? They must be entitled to sue, Mr Morgan. He was the man who took upon himself to discharge the plaintiff and by an doing made himsell responsible. for these papers. He was not entitled to exercise the powers, of the Coast Guard Commissioner without taking the respon sibilities of the post.
The Acting Chief Justice asked whether Mr Pollock meant to say that because some one
else bad taken away the papers Mr. Morgan should have kept the man on in spite of his

Mr. Pollock submitted that the defendant should have had the papers ready. If Captain Clayson never returned to the Colony, plaintiff might never be able to get any satisfaction for this wrong.
