Chung Yau, a seaman, and a boatman gave similar evidence respecting the agrestant,
Mr. Gedge submitted that the only question anpeared to be that of damages, as the collision was admitted. He thought it very unlikely that | the plaintiff should have agreed to so small an
amount and be submitted the weight of evidence | was on his side that' no such agreement was come fa,
His lordship,in giring judgment, suidthere was no doubt about the negligence of the stearman of the launch, for he had starboarded his helm || and ran into the junk, but he thought the steers. man was extremely in fault for being in such a position. The plaintiff was not to blame as he was going direct to his anchorage. He reviewed the evidence at some length and pointed out the unlikely story told by the plalutly with respect to the cargo damaged bring only that of the Chan We shop. The claim was an exorbi- lant one, and he bought the plaintiff having offered some amall injury took advantage to furtherthought the steersman's idea of the amount of damage done was not far mót. „He did not believe that much damage was done to the Jays or that any of the jars rolled overboard. He did not bellere a jar was eren lest, but he believed a few jars were broken. He was laclined to believe there was an agreement to accept the $10, and although the plaintiff said there was not he had brought forward no witness to corro- borate his evidence. He would give plaintiff judgment for the amount paid fato Court, and so costs would be allowed.

CHIMULPO, Dec. 14th, 1890. This place has gone up wonderfully in the course of the last few years, and the reasons why the Celestials are making spasmodic efforts to stick to the country are as clear as broad day- light. Judge for yourself by the result of a late land sale. Our local auctioneer, Mr. A. Goschalki, sold the other day by pubile auction (according to' our land" regulations) plece of ground measuring 770 square metres for $2,386 ; the same land could have been bought a few years ago for $6 per hundred square metres.

He saw the branch and shouted to the men on board to go autem of his veui. He did not change his helm but went on his course steadily. He did not know what the cargo consisted of until he received an account for It from the Chang Wo shop a few days later. He "squared" the account by writing It off the said firm's indebtedness to hit for freight. He produced a stamped receipt to prove the transaction. It was the fault of hi fok that his junk was towed by the launch to Shaukiwan after the collision, He, personally, did not approve of it.
The steersman was then called and raid he was at the helm at the time ofthe collision, The bow of the funk was nointing towards the west. He was struck by the handle of the runder, which swung round through the force of the collision, and had since been treated at the hospital. The hole made in the junk was five feet in length and one foot in width. Не knew nothing of the cargo, except that it was. darnaged.

The Inanch had anfficient time to have got ent of our way, I think the collision occurred through the -launch trying to cross our bow. It was im passible for us to have avoided the collision, because there was no room for is to alter our course!

It is not often that big game shooting is, so to speak, provided at our doors in Bangkok, yet only a very few days ogo a resident shot two large tiger-cata in his own ernunds, the weapon used being a sixteen bore fowling plece with No, 4 shot. One of the beasts, known to naturallats length, exclusive of tail, which was about ten Felis milis, measured some four feet in inches. The marking of the body more re sembled that of a leopard than a tiger. The other was of the species known to the Malays as Delondung (Prionidon practiti) and had a long pointed nose, dark byena marked skin, and the paws of a dog. Its full length overall was four feet four and half inches.
