HONGKONG, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1890.
A WILL known resident of the colony has sent us some pungent criticisms on Sir JAMES RUSSELL'S sentence in the recent conspiracy case. These are assuredly well intended, and we are bound to admit that there is a good deal of truth in our correspondent's arguments and deductions; but we are forced to consider under all circumstances, and especially in view of
verdicts contrary to a Judge's direction and against the weight of evidence. Toalways err on the side of leniency is recognised as one of the first and grandest principles of English justice; to where there is the slightest doubt of a man's gult he invariably obtains the benefit of that doubt, and that is as it should be. Before now men have been hung for alleged crimes and their innocence only discovered after it was too late, and in like manner there are plenty of cases on record at home of the conviction and punishment of innocent people for alleged offences of various kinds; but
recent years these miscarriages of justice have, in England at least, almost totally disappeared. Juries without absolutely clear and convincing

A STEAMER Cailed the San Pedro is now on her way to Manila from England for fishing purposes, under the control of a number of capitalists at that port, who intend to embark in that line of business. Fish abound in the sea there, bu consumers get little and pay dear for it, and that being so, the speculators may count upon public support. The San Pedro is fitted with every requisite to carry on fishing operations including a large lank to keep fish "all alive." DURING the past few days one of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao S. B.

So far as I baye been able to arcertain this is never done, and in some cases recent graves I have good reasons for believing that less than 3 feet of earth, in depth, was all the covering the coffer had. There is no system of arranging the grants in regular rows or even of having two graves running parallel with each other. Many of the graves have small head-stones, but I very much doubt if after 3 years it will be possible for any one to Bay with accuracy the grave in which any parti- cular body is buried. +

The new Chinese Labour Bill Our space and prominence to the reply as to the Singapore friends may have a grievance touching "misrepresentations," but from our alender knowledge of the modus operandi of public journals we judge that the "House" has simply wasted its time in discussing the advisability of compelling the Editors of newspapers to do that which is systematically practised by those who conduct respectable journals in all parts of the world. However, we shall doubtless receive full reports of the debate in due course, and can then fairly determine the degree of justification which our neighbours had in adopting such a subject for the earnest consideration of the "House" when in solemn conclave assembled.

An old Shanghai resident tells the following yarn:-I came to Shanghal in 1861 in a sailing ship, and had a hard time of it coming out. The captain wanted to discharge us, and as we had been so badly treated, most of the crew ware only too glad to get away. "But," said the captain, shan't give you any wagen." That altered the question somewhat, and a gentleman, who had overheard the captain's remark, said wo were fools if we allowed ourselves to be cheated

He promised to be at the Consulate when we were to be discharged, and told us that and he wouldste that we got our rights, However, If the captafa would not pay us, to go to him the captain bald us, but a young sailor called Charlie and myself stayed in the ship, and we made a voyage to Nagasaki in her, coming back with a cargo of tea box planks.
