I won't answer that.
You have got to answer.
Mr. Webber-It will be answered in the Supreme Court.
His Worship said that that was going into the truth of the libel. Plaintiff had already sworn that it was false.
Defendant-You have wiltten in your leader of the 9th October that I am an infliction on the colony,"

Mr. Webber-What if he did
His Worship--I have read the article.
Mr. Fraser-Smith-If it is a matter, of opinion
I should say you are. What I wrote was "men Buth ns Brandt."
Defendant-That is provocation.' His Worship-I have the whole article before me, and I take it it is a direct attack-that is enough for you.
Difendant-Then I have nothing more to say about that. (To plaintiff) You knew Mr. Grimble very well; what age was he?
I should say about 25, Wasn' be 28?
How should I know?
You know he is married and has a family? His Worship-This is taking up the time of the Court uselessly-there is no bearing on the question.
Defendant-There is this” bearing—that he compares Grimble to an innocent youth-to a lamb sborn by a sharper.
His Worship-That has nothing to do with the case. In its proper place the question,might be right, but not here.
Defendant-Will you swear that you never purchased Punjom shares from Grimble on time?

(Before Mr. F. Fielding Clark, Acting
Chief Justice)
THE SHELLEY STREET MURDER.
The following jury were empanelled in thi case:-Messrs. R. J. Gomes, C. L. Gorham. Chow Fat Fong, E. J. Moses, A. Moir, J. Humphrey, and F. Favares.
Choi Atow, chair-coolie, pleaded not guilty to charge of wilfully murdering Cheung Yency. Foo on the 17th ulto.
The Acting Attorney-General prosecuted, and Mr. Pollock defended 1n op ning the case th former said that on the evening of the 17:6 Sept. some chair-coolics, with their chairs, were clos to the Portugese Club in Shelley-street, amongst them being the deceased and the prisoner. Either. the deceased said you owe me five cents" o
This is the place for my. chair, and anyone touching it will have to pay five cents" What- ever were the words that were used the two quarrelled, though it was doubtful whether they came to blows. Anyhow they exchanged. opprobrious words, and a constable who was in the neighborhood made the prisoner go away. He went away, and shortly afterwards returned. and renewed the quarrel After some words he stabbed the deceased with a knife in the abdo men. Deceared's younger brother was there, and immediately pursued the prisoner, who had ran off. He did not arrest him, because he was afraid, seeing that he had a knife, but a consta ble arrested him and took him to the Station. The knife was found afterwards in the compound of the New Central School, in which direction the prisoner had ron. and there was ample evidence to connect the prisoner with it. In' cases of that kind it might be that there were circumstances of provaration which might reduce the charge to one of maslaughter, "but with" persons of the prisoner's description the jury must consider whether there was provocation,
and whether the mode of resentment was com- mensurate with the provocation received. No.
d words, however; provrking, were sufficient to reduce a charge of murder toone of manslaughter, if the crime was committed with a deadly weapon.
The deceased's brother was then called, and said that the prisoner stabbed deceased without any fight having previously taken place. He followed the prisoner until he was arrested.

I often wish that I could cut the not by denying the genuineness and authenticity of the "Spring and Autumn' as we now have it; but the chain of evidence that binds it to the hand and pencil of Confucius in the close of his life, is very strong. And if a foreign student take so violent a method to enable him to look at the chameter of the philosopher without this nw of historical un cruthfulness, the governors of China, and the majority of its scholars will have no sympathy with him, and no compassion for his mental dis Iress. Truthfulness was one of the subjects that Confucious often insisted on with his disciples; but the Ch'un Chin has led his countrymen to conceal the truth from themselves and others, wherever they think it would injuriously affect the reputation of the empire, or of its sages."
We have repeatedly referred to the Sacred Edies of Kang Hisi. The intimate relations which subsisted between this mountch and the Koman Catholic fathers of his time, is well-known, According to the Catholic historians, there seems every reason to suppose that K'ang Hsi himself was not only most favourably disposed toward their doctring, but was ready enough to admit their truth. The fathers entertained high hopes of his coaversion, and of the Christianisation of the Chinese Empire, through hint, as the Roman Empire was Christianised under Constantine. The Emperor wrote with his own hand the memorials which the fathers were to present to him, to ensure faultlessners of style and literary finish. He composed antithetical couplets for their Christian chapels, in which the fanguage used is of the most elevating and orthodox Christian character. These couplets have been copted All over the empire and their authorship is well known.

to his fellow-creatures. To begin, then, you must know I had long been more or less subject to attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain, seasons of the year. Some months ago I had a very severe turn of it, worse, think, than I ever had before. It was probably brought on by my catching cold, as we are all apt to do when we least expect it. Weeks passed by, and my trouble proved to be very obstinate. It would not yield to medicine, and as 1 also` began to have violent racking pains in my limbs and back, I became greatly alarmed. 1 could neither eat nor sleep. If I had been a leeble, sickly man, I should have thought less strangely of it; but as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robust, I feared some new and terrible thing had got hold of me, which might make my strength of no avail against it. I say, that was the way I thought,
Presently I could not even lie down for the pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what be thought of my condition, and he frankly said, "I am sorry to have to tell you that you are getting worse 1 This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said " Thomas, you must go to the Hospital; it may be your only chance for life 1
**
But I didn't want to go to the hospital. Who does, when he thinks he can possibly get along without doing it; I am a labouring man, with a large family depending on me for support, and I might almost as well be in my grave ns be laid on my back in a hospital, unable to lift a hand for months, or God only knows how long, Right at this point I had a thought flash across my mind like a streak of sunshine in a cloudy day. I had heard and read a good deal about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I resolved before consenting to be taken to the hospital, I would try that well-known remedy. On this I gave up the doctor's medicine and began taking the Syrup. Mark the wonderful result 1. I had taken but three doses, within twenty, four hours, when I was seized with a fit of coughing, and threw up the phlegm and mucus off my chest by the mouthful. The Syrup had loosened and broken it up. Continuing with the Syrup, the racking pain, which I believe came from the bitter and poison humours in my blood and joints, soon left me entirely, and I felt like going to sleep, and I did sleep sound and quiet. Then I felt hungry, with a natural appetite, and as I ate I soon got strong and well. I felt I could leap through the air with delight
In a week I was able to go to my work again. It doesn't seem possible, yet it is true,, and the neighbours know it. There are plenty of witnesses to prove it. And, therefore, when I say I preach the good news of the great power of Seigel's Syrup to cure puin and disease far

The question was disallowed. Defendant put in a paper dated 30th December last, as containing a nice little thing."

His Worship admitted the paper, and publica. tion was proved,
Defendant-I should like to know who wrote the paragraph marked.
Mr. Webber objected, and his objection was *noted.
Defendant-You recollect, perhaps, that in February, 1886, you published a paragraph in your paper stating that the Crows Prosecutor had been instructed to proceed against me?
I do not remember, but if it is in the paper I am certainly responsible for its being there. It
was no doubt true.
That concluded the cross-examination. Mr. Webber did not re-examine. His Worship, in giving his decision, raid that he had no jurisdiction to go into the truth or falsity of the statements in the letter complained of, the only print he had to consider was if there was publication. The authorship was not denied. He took it from the evidence that the letter was part read to Mr. Lang and shown to Mr. Rodyk. He passed over the question of whether there had been any publication to the plaintiff's wife-it had not been pressed, The cases quoted by the complainant he did not think were analagous. The only question wAS whether or not that was a libel prima facis. It was urged that li was written in self-defence. The defendant might have defended himself against the attacks, but he must not attack in return, or he committed a libel the publication of which was not justified. Prima facis he thought that the passage saying that the complainant was a wholesale reviler was a libel on Mr. Fraser. Smith's character as a journalist, and on that ground, without going into any other, it was his duty to commit the case for trial
Mr. Webber asked that the defendant should be bound over in beavy securities to appear. The object of the law of criminal bel was to prevent a breach of the peace, and the strained relations between the parties, as exhibited that day and at the previous hearing, justified him in Asking for securities which would make it certain that the defendant would attend. He had not, so far as Mr. Webber was aware, any tangible property here-
Mr. Brandt:-That is false.
His Worship-Please keep quiet. Mr. Webber continued that he was very often in Canton and Shanghai, and was simply the Agent for a German firm in Shanghai,
His Worship thought that was good reason why he should stay in the Colony,
Mr. Webber suggested that he might be recalled to Shanghal.

are the water; that when the cup is round the water will be round, and when the dish is flat the water will be flat, it seems hard to explain how the great men of China have not exerted a stronger influence in the way of modifying the characters of those who study their lives. If example is really so powerful as Confucianists represent, how does it happen that as seen in its effects, it is so comparatively, inert? The virtual deificatlon of the superior man " mentioned below under No. 20, is matched by the entire absence of any mediator, as already pointed out under No. 8. No matter how superior the Sage may be, he is obliged to confine, bimself to giving good advice. If the advice is not taken, he not only cannot help it, but, there is no further advice given.
