AN action at law forms the latest phase of trouble to labour employers, in succession to the strikes armongst the labouring population of Great Britain. A large ship-owning firm in Cardiff has commenced legal proceedings against the London Docks Company for damages on account of the detention of four of their large steamers, consequent on the recent dock labrurers' strike, and its prolongation by the course pursued by the Directors of the Company. The question is a critical one, and if decided in favour of the Cardiff firm opens up a splendid harvest for the lawyers, and a rather warm time for Dock Companies and others, where the law may similarly be applicable.

When the Austrians entered France during the wars of the First Republic, two sisters, named Felicie and Theéphile Fernig, aged respectively sixteen and eighteen years, put on old uniforms which they found in a cupboard, sad arming themselves with fowling-pieces, encouraged by their example the Civic Guards of Valenciennes, who were retreating in disorder, to rally. Thus the town of Valenciennes was recaptured, and the Austrians were driven across the frontier. The sisters were then added to Dumouriez's staff and again distinguished them- selves by their bravery at Valmy and Jemappes. Their brilliant services were recognised by the Convention.

"No," said the railroad official, “you wouldn't' and nobody wouldn't, and there ain't, neither. There's a hand-car on the wrong track up at Shahola, and the whole line is bailed up.

NOT "QUITE SUFFICIENT,"
certain conclusions which it is necessary to arrive at are somewhat delayed when he bas to give his time up to private practice. These points have been carefully considered by the Government before deciding as they did, The Secretary of State was of opinion that he could not get a really efficient officer unless he paid at least as much as is paid in the Straite Settlements. Perhaps it is a pity that the Council has not been asked to vote this before, as the Attorney-General is about to arrive in a few days-possibly the end of this week, but as soon as it was brought to my knowledge that the Council had not voted the increased salory I thought it should be at once considered, more particularly as the new Attorney-General has been given to understand that he will receive the higher salary. The matter was then referred to the Finance Committee,

THE INCREASED NILITARY CONTRIBUTION. His Excellency laid on the table a despatch (which will be published to-morrow) from the Secretary of State, with reference to the proposed increase of the military contribution of the Colony. He said—I may say at once that it will be incumbent on me, without any unnecessary delay, to propose a voto by which the military contribution of this Colony will be increased from £20,000 to £40,000 a year. But it is only fair to the members of this Council, and, indeed, towards the commu- nity generally, that time should, be given to examine the arguments contained in the des patch, and I shall therefore refrain from proposing the vote until a reasonable opportunity has been afforded to every member of considering—as I' am sure they will consider with every care and impartiality, the reasons which have induced Her Majesty's Government to propose the increase, I may state that several copies of the | despatch have been sent by the Secretary, of State, so that every member will have an oppor- tunity of obtaining one.

The bill for the naturalisation of a Bonham Strand merchant named Lam Leing Sing passed its readings after dumerous amendments of

THE NEW MEMBER INQUIRES, The Acting Allorney-General moved the second reading of a bill to amend section 28 of the Public Health Ordinance. Its effect was to make burial in any of the cemeteries legal, it being apparently an offence previously punishable with a fine of $100. When the Bill was pissing its third reading
Dr. Ho Kai inquired if the amendment would remove the cemeteries from the jurisdiction of the Sanitary Board? It would be a great pity if it did,
The Acting Colonial Secretary isured him that it would not, owing to the fact that at pre- sent the Sanitary Board had no jurisdiction over cemeteries.
Mr. MacEwen bad his doubts, and at his suggestion the third reading was deferred.
The Council then adjourned until Wednesday next.
FINANCE COMMITTER. A meeting of the Finance Committee was then held, the Acting Colonial Secretary presiding.
The Chairman stated that the vote to Coll Beaumont was still unsettled, his report not having yet been circulated.
The vote increasing the salary of the Attorney, General was passed without comment.
The $735 for a nuisance insector at Kowloon, and of $90 for a Chinese teacher for the bead. mistress of the Girls' School, were also passed.
