Who provided Mr. HASTINGS with those facts? This latter question ought to have been asked in cross-examination, but Mr. EwINI would appear to have overlooked It's Importance.
Was it the Registrar-General, and if so, why? What business was it of his? The Registrar-General was present at the Interview In the Attorney-General's office on April 23rd, and interpreted the state- ment made by Mr. Chan U Fà▲t. Why should the Registrar-General, have been present on such an occasion? "He is not the Attorney-General's interpreter, and as a matter of fact Mr. CHAN U Fai speaks English almost as fluently as Mr. STEWART- LOCKHART. The Registrar-General's appearance in a little comedy that was evidently, meant to end tragically for the managing owner of the steamship Taron, appears inexplicable from an ordinary point of view, and is certainly bighly suggestive of what a dangerous element exists in this colony in the autocratic department presided over by an apparently thoroughly irresponsible officer.

What grounds had the Attorney-General for advising the arraignment at the Police Court on a criminal charge of Mr. CHAN U FAI? We must assume that Mr. W. M.

And who will defray the costs of this iniquitous prosecution?
