There are, however, great difficulties in the of introducing the foreign system of taking way evidence in China. The country is so vast, that accused and witnesses have sometimes to be brought to our tribunals from scores of miles away; and if allowed to return' to their homes for an adjournment, it would be, many days before they could all be collected again. In foreign countries, with their smaller population, and careful registration, it is comparatively casy to find a witness when he is wanted. | Our pao klak system, good as it is in in
tention, has become cffcle and almost useles 73,250.00 for all practical purposes. The ti pao is the 8,737.00 person on whom the authorities now really rely 2444.00 to produce a witness; and there is so much danger his of taking bribes to allow a witness to abscond, that the officials prefer to keep witnesses safely locked up in the yik fang and lung fang and to continue right on with each case day after day with no adjournments or remands. Thi witnesses, who cannot but detest this durance, although it is uphemistically cal'ed fan-sit (food-and-res), are glad, as a general rule, to see the case concluded as soon as possible; and the judge, who has perhaps many other cases awaiting his attention, is glad to ac quire a reputation with his superiors for promptitude in judgment, by a resort to the swift stern mode of the question forte et dure with criminal of whose guilt he is morally convinc d.

E. H. GORE-BOOTH, Esq, Clerk of the Course,
Hongkong Jockey Club, DEAR SIRA a number of inquiries from persona interested in the subject have been made to me, I shall be glad if you will favor me with the official placing of the first three ponies in the Taco for the Compradores' Cup at the recent Jockey Club meeting. You will doubtless ramem. ber that this race was run in the dusk, and in consequence there was some confusion at the finish and some doubt as to the actual winner and "placed" ponies. So far as I know, 'no special announcement was made by the Stewards and as considerable interests are involved in the matter, you will oblige me greatly by sending me the Judge's final decision, as set forth in the official record.
Your's faithfully,
R. FRASER-SMITH. 3rd April, 1890.
R. FRASER-SMITH, Esq.
DEAR SIR-In reply to your letter of the 28th March, asking for the official placing of the poniesinthe Compradores' Cup at last meeting
I am instructed to inform you that the Judge's
decision was--
Market (first), Total Loss (second), Valentine (third); but that Valentine, having failed to weigh in after the race and as Claudio did so, be became the third, as no other pony complied with Rule 35, II section of the Laws of Racing, which lays down that-
"If any Jockey do not weigh in or be short weight, &c., his horse is disqualified." I am, Sir, :.
Yours obediently,
E. H. GORE-BOOTH,
Clerk of the Course. This decision, which never was in doubt, finally settles all questions as to bets and lotteries. Valentine is disqualified, and Claudio, who, actually did finish third and duly weighed in, is placed third, and is entitled to all the rights appertaining to that place.

But Pu, the recently appointed Governor of the province, is a man of a progressive and energetic tum of mind, and recognising the incapability of the natives to get any adequate return for their labour with the rude machinery at hand, and the necessity of having a competent foreign superintendent at the works, he petitioned the Emperor for permission to do what was necessary to improve the state of the mines His petition was granted, and he accordingly instructed his brother, the, Director of the Kiangnan Arsenal in Shanghai to purchase the machinery from abroad. The Director of the Arsenal did so, and the machinery was sent out to Shanghai from England, and forwarded after a great deal of trouble to Kweichow, where it was erected under the superintendence of a foreigner. It is now in full working order, and although the Directors have only seen fit to run a part of the machinery, the result has far surpassed their most sanguine 'expectations.

man named Nuk, who, teceived the acknowledged their guilt, and stated that they proceeds of their thefts, and made his house their rendezvous. So a warrant was issued for the aftest of Nuk, and he was brought before the Board. When interrogated he said that he was a relation of the Emperor's and be denied the allegation of the rabbers. The Board sent Nuk
Ching-shun-fu (the mandarin who tries the
Emperor's relatives and clansmen) for trial, be- fore whom he still maintained the truth of bls as sertion though allmanner oftortures were applied. He was sent back unconvicted to the Board of Punishments, and there he said that the robbers who accused him did so though an old grudge, that he might suffer death with themselves. The Board consulted with the Court of Censors on
the subject, and came to the conclusion that Nuk was guilty of harbouring the robbers and receiving stolen property. They sentenced him and the robbers to be decapitated, and ordered the robbers to be executed on a certain date, The t'me for carrying out the sentence had nearly arrived, when a high mandetin, raised the oljection that the robbers could not be executed before Nok; for they being out of the way he could still plead innocence and as there would be nobody left to give evidence against him, he would have to be liberated. The Emperor on further searching being referted to, ordered erquiry, directing that all parties be locked up

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
"HE objects of the Company are to acquire the property and take over the business of the East Borneo Planting Company, Limited, as a going concern, and to plant and grow tobacco, pepper, &c., on their Estate (called the Melapi Estate) consisting of 10,0-0 selected acres of land on the now well known Kinabataugan River, British North Borneo,
The East Borned Planting Company, Limited commenced clearing in the Autumn of 1888, and have been working their Estate to the present time. The result of the working for the year 1889 has been a crop of tobacco of the required quality as regards both size and texture of leaf. and samples have been valued by experts in London at 2/6 to 3/- per D, and reported on in Amsterdam as of excellent quality, but the Capital of the Company has been found insufficient for the requirements of the enterprise. It has therefore been determined that the East Borneo Planting Company, Limited, shall be reconstituted, and the present Company has been formed for the purpose.
The Capital of the East Borneo Planting Com. pany, Limited, is $200,000, divided into 4000 shares of $50 each fully paid up, and the con- aideration to be paid to the Shareholders in that Company is the same amount in 10,000 fuily paid up shares in the present Company, The remaining 20,000 shares to be offered for sub- scripties in terms of this prospectus and to be available for the further devolopment of the
Estate.
The work which has been done on the Estate Is as follows: A Manager's house and Assistants house have been built, also coolie sheds and and drying and fermenting sheds. Roads have been cut, drains made and jungle cleared for planting $50 fields for 1890. There is also a Pepper Plantation on which between $4,000 to $5,000 has been expended and the prospects of which are good. The whole is in full working order, there is an ample supply of Chinese labour,
