circumstances attending the death of J. McBean, who was accidentally shot yesterday morning.
Dr. Marques was called and and the body was taken to the mortuary shout 9 a.m. yesterday. and he made a post mortem examination in the afternoon. He found blood oozing from the nose and a small bullet wound on the upper portion of the right chest. The bullet had gons i through and lodged in the lung. Death resulted from hemorrhage caused by the wound. The deceased died about ten minutes after the wound
wai ir licted. The saloon rifle produced would fire a ballet such as the wound made.
John Orluk, "nine years of age, said he was a scholar at St. Joseph's College. He knew the deceased, who was in the same Yesterday morning about half-pa¶t class. eight be and the deceased with other hays were playing near the school. He saw the boy Lebury holding the rifle, painting it at McBean, who stand about twelve vari nway. Lebury did not speak and nulled the trigger, but he did not know it was loaded. McBean fell down and groaned. Lebuy and bis brother carried Mclean outside the grounds, to take diới towards the doctor's house. There had been no quarrel between the deceased and Lebury, They were playing,
It was not to be expected the Hongkong Sunday labour question would be allowed a settlement without a struggle from those chiefly benefitted in enforcing their claim to a full pound of flesh in the shape of a tull seven days of toil and labour without rost from their Christian employés from year's end to year's end. In a previons article on this subject we incidentally .mentioned the fact that an old law of this colony provided for the cessation of labour on Sunday. We have not had the opportunity yet of examining the why and wherefore this law has been abrogated and set aside, and no doubt our further investigations in this line will prove interesting.

Excellency, which, in this sale instance, throughout his able administration, has apparently warped his usual singularly calm and dispassionate judgment, is some excuse for what we think is a simple error in judgment on the part of his Excellency, but there is no such excuse for our energetic and capable legislative repre. sentative, except that even with so strong representative It could hardly be expected that Mr. WHITEHEAD would retire without a bout in favour of his influential and inferested backers in the Chamber. A perusal however of the Honourable member's letter in our issue of yesterday must convince anyone that it is not written in the concise and trenchant 1.10 style which is so characteristic of Mr, WHITEHEAD'S Compositions; it is feeble and half-hearted throughout. Having fearlessfy led the van in support of this question from the outset, without entering Into a 'repetition of our arguments we 0.60 content ourselves with simply reviewing: so far as we can comprehend them, the 0.75 somewhat laboured and not well defined 1.00 objections of the Honorable member. In the first place the exponent of the Hong- 1.00 kong Chamber of Commerce holding their brief for Chinese interests is really too deliciously thin, it is something entirely new to find the Chamber of Commerce of this colony posing as the protector of nativa interests. A short time only has elapsed since the sapient wire pullers of this same Association took up a particularly strong attitude in endeavouring, to crush the Observatory and all belonging to it $4.50

These warnings these autocrats considered ware FiBot unnecessarlly frequent and besides Inter- fered with their shipping profits, Itmattered $r.ro not an iota to them whether or not the ghastly spectacle of the 1874 typhoon was reproduced on the shores of this harbour. 1.50 They, safely ensconced ashore, were only too ready to view with complacency the risks and perlla of the boating population of this essentially seafaring colony, and resented Buch timely warnings of 0.75, approaching danger. So it ever has been and will be while such an association in its 0.75 present constitution is suffers to exist.

ANOTHER ear-ring snatching case was heard at the Police Court this morning by Mr. Wise, The case was as per usual: A widow in Queen's Road; the ear-rings snatched, and the offender caught. It was similarly disposed of by the magistrate: Evidence given charge denfed; proved guilty, and sent to gaol for six months, with two whippings of twelve strokes each.
From the E. and C. Express, April 3rd :--
The Satellite, third-class cruiser, was taken into the steam basin at Sheerness Dockyard on the 30th ult, to be completed for service on the

The feeling of resentment that has arisen in the Straits Settlements, Hongkong and Ceylon with reference to the increased demands made upon them in the matter of the military contri- butions paid by them-though it is considered somewhat exaggerated-meets (says the United Services Magasins) with a certain amount of sympathy.

Ord, III of 1844 in the preamble had the words "to prevent secret and fraudulent conveyances" etc. After going fully into the Ordinance, bis Lordship found that plaintiff was entitled to possession of the premises in May, 1890.

PRESENTATION TO CAPTAIN
DARKE.
The following address was presented to Capt. "Darke by the Cetterthion's passengers, on the Voyage from Sydney hither:-
Steamship Catterthun, Port Darwin, April 23rd 1891.
Dear Captain Darke,
the undersigned passengers between Sydney, Before leaving the final port of Australia we,' Port Darwin and Hongkong, after two weeks pleasant experience feel desirous of recording our entire satisfaction with the arrangement of your ship, which are contrary to what was expected by us, inasmuch as that we were at times led to believe the Exstern and Australian Company did not make the very best provision
for passengers.
We are now, however, fully convinced that fresh supplies were secured by you at every port of call, together with abundance, of lee, which *- must be far more inviting than any provision that can be made by the mach vaunted refrigerating process.
Be assured that we are all very sensible of Your Constant courtesy and attention. which served to make our voyage far more enjoyable than any ever before undertaken by us.
The care and thoughtfulness of your officers is also very noticable. For such care and though fulness you will please convey our heartfelt thanks, and permit us to subscribe ourselves your sincere friends.
