THE administration of public justice in Hongkong leaves much to be desired. That fact, patent for many years past, has of late been so prominently brought before the community that it has become During the last twelve months at least a dozen cases of importance have been notorious as gross miscarriages of justice, deliberate perversions of the most rudimen tary principles of the rules of evidence, these cases that wonderful mixture known gross violations of English law.

This colony has long enjoyed an unenviable, notoriety for the number and variety of its "undivalged crimes unwhipped of justice," but we question whether anything more degrading and disgraceful than this latest exhibition of English civilisation has ever been recorded in our criminal annals. A dispassionate review of the whole proceedings inevitably suggests that somebody-we don't know who, and we don't care--had a special interest, out of pure philanthropy no doubt, in burking" this prosecution. And we have no hesitation whatever in demanding that the Government at once make a thorough investigation into the whole of the disgraceful circumstances brought out at the Police Court, not merely for the honour of the colony and the good name of the British community, but to show our Chinese follow citizens

It is pro- bable that the reply from the officers above the rank of constable will be in the affirmative, In that case the increase will be as follows :-- Inspectors, 1st class, from $1,200 to $1,368 ; and class, $950 to $1,002; 3rd class, $840 to $350; sergeants ($540 to $614) $720; acting sergeants, ($500 to $570) $636; and constables ($430 to $540) 3600.
