SUPREME COURT.
IN BANKRUPTCY,
(Before Sir James Russell, Chief Justice.)
:
April o'b.
THAT DISTOKS, DUNGEON AGAIN, U Kwong-nam appeared to show cause why ko should be discharged from the Debtor' Prison and he daly adjudicated a bankrupt. Mr. Gedge (of Messrs. Johnson, Stokes and Master's office), opposed the application,
to
U Kwong-nam, the petitioner, said he filed the petition for adjudication and the accounts produced. His total liabilities amounted to $143-73 and his assels totted wi, with the exception of a few articles of clothing.
Mr. Gedge contended that the applicant was not altogether without means of discharging his liabilities. He had, he said, been instructed by bis client, the chief creditor, that the debtor had made certain overtures in respect to settlement. The man had wealthy relatives, who could easily pay the amount for him.
His lordship Squeese" the relatives, oh ? My Gedge denied that he desired to squeeze "the money out of the petitioner's relatives.
His lordshipJust so. That's the danger with this debtors' prison: it is used as an engine to extort money from relatives. Its proper use is for impounding man who, able to pay, desire to leave the colony and take all their effects with them.
Mr. Gedge-He carried on business as a timber merchant here with others sa partners. His trusten bas left the Colony, as he has sald, with his money. He further stated, in the course of a Summary Court case before Mr. Justice Clarke, that his partner had collected money under a certain deed and appropriated it to his
own usc.
Debtor-I have been in prison for about three months and have never yet been examined before the Court. I don't know where my "security man "ko.
..
Mr. Gedge Wong, his partner, collected $500 before he was imprisoned. If you will grant an adjournment I will get my client here, and he will be able to testify as the petitioner's solvency. His lordship-I don't like to send this man back to gaol. If the Court thinks fit it can give an order for adjudication. There is no use in making such a man a bankrupt. There's nothing to be got out of him. He should be liberated if not guilty of fraud.
His lordship asked the petitioner who drew up and paid for the legal documents and list of creditors. After a good deal of shuffling the man said he wrote to a native friend who put the business through for him.
His lordship, after referring to the Ordinanca, said-As he does not seem to be very truthful and there may be some doubt attached to hla evidence, I will send him back to prison for one week. The case is now adjourned for a week.
The petitioner, a pitiable looking object, was then removed.

vast Improvement made by the Government in this neighbourhood deserves the hearty thanks of the residents. We have now a good supply of filtered water from Pokfolum in addition to our numerous sprlags of pure water. The new system of drainage, both of sewage and of the subsoil, has been completed in the most thorough and scientific manner.
At present we are confining our building operations to the erection of houses to suit tenants, on leases for a fixed term of years.

In the afternoon the party descended to the lower levels, and spent an hour or two in shop- ping. Their principal purchases were made at Kuha & Co.'s establishment, where, in about half-an-hour, the Czarevitch acquired several magnificent gold, ivory, and lacquer cablacts, immense bronze vases, and a few other trifles, to the total value of about $5,000. He would have bought the entire business, probably, if the original and only Kuba badn't been away in Japan.

SIR,-I find very much to my regref that it Is against the custom of the committee in charge of the Theatre Royal to rent that building for use on Sunday. As Sunday evening is the only evening available to me I am reluctantly cons pelled to withdraw my offer of the proposed lecture. 1, alone, am to blame in the matter, a having frequently lectured for charitable purposes on the Sabbath day in other countries I took it for granted that there would be no obstacle in the way here.
Yours sincerely
