relied upon by the learned counsel for the ap pellants, is in our opinion no authority against this view, The two points decided in that case were: (1) that a clause in a charter party, worded as the ope now under consideration is, gives the cargo-owner the right to retain out of the balance of unpaid freight the cost of cargo short-delivered, even though the los has arisen from perils excepted in the charter- party; and (2) that when the loss has happened from an excepted peril, the cargo-owner, cannot recover on a claim for damages. In dealing with the latter point and after the first point had been decided in favour of the cargo-owners, all the learned Judges agreed that the main and most important question that they had to decide in regard to this point, was whether the case came within the excepted pe-ils. Now how could that question be important unless, but for the case falling within the excepted perils, a counter-claim for damages would lie? We think we need say no more on this paint, and will only add that we concur entirely in the view of the case taken by the learned Judge of the Court below. The appeal must be dismissed with

AN extensive disturbance” occurred last night at a Chinese house on the Praya, close to the Victoria Hotel. How it originated is not certain, but there is no doubt that about half-past nine some men on the roof started throwing things down a skylight at the occupants of a top-floor, and that the friends of both parties rallied round in hundreds and kept the ball rolling. They dismantled several chimneys to pro cure bricks, and "laid out" several of the defending party, whose injuries were so severe that they had to be taken to the Hospital, and two were detained, having sustained severe scalp wounds. Inspector Perry, with a detach ment of Europeans, Sikhs, and Chinese; hurried down, and, found the surrounding streets thronged with spectators. With much difficulty they arrested sixteen men, and found a variety of articles around, including over forty fighting irons. The men were before Mr. Pollock to-day, Mr. Wilkinson prosecuting and Mr. Dennyi defending. The case was remanded.
