Ordinance which is now known as the Gambling Act was framed. But at the same time it must be admitted that lame, Ill-drafted, and imperfect specimen of legal workmanship though it is, it has been the means of closing hundreds of the so-called "clubs" which existed, it has also outlawed the Totalisator-the best result of all from a betting-man's point of view-and banned the sale of lottery tickets. No one, we venture to say, will question the necessity for such a measure had it only been framed in a more sensible and workable form. This journal had for months been urging of the speedy repression of gambling clubs which were really responsible for the down- fall of many an honest servant, and the Colony welcomed it even in the Imperfect form of the new Gambling Ordinance.. But already the necessity for its revision Is apparent. At present it is made, illegal for 1. person to sell, possess, от In any way be connected with Manila lottery tickets, That is really no new enactment-it existed in the old Gambling Act, only that was a dead letter. There is no doubt whatever that the possi-IN bility of gaining the first prize fascinated a great many people including not a few Government officials-and in the golden times of 1889 purchases of as many as two hundred tickets in one month, by one man alone, were not unknown. In every hotel, in the streets, even in the Courts of
Justice, one was pestered by pertinacious youths to invest in Manila lottery tickets and the whole business became a regular nulsance. This new Ordinance however, has been the means of stopping all this and the purchase of a ticket to-day requires a talent for intrigue worthy of a diplomat.

THE Straits Times of the 13th inst. says:-We understand that a warrant has been, or is likely to be issued for the arrest of Mr. Edwin Koek, (senior), a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Singapore, who has been absent from Singapore for some time. It appears to be assumed that Mr. Koek is in Dutch territory and, if so, it may be doubted whether the warrant is of mach avail. Mr. Kock is alleged to be a Dutch subject, and although during his residence lo Singapore-it-has-been-assumed-that-he-tad. become an English subject, yet that may not be the case. If he is a Dutch subject he cannot be extradited, nor may it be practicable to attempt to prosecute him before the Dutch courts for the offences which are alleged against him, and which, if committed, were committed in English territory. The matter, in fact may possibly offer some nice points of international law.

A few weeks ago the Grst prosecution took place, when a Chinaman who was retailing tickets on board a steamer was arrested and fined $25, but the tickets had to be returned because upon an appeal being made Mr. Wise very rightly held that "a ship was not a street" within the meaning of the Act.

On the 19th inst, a passenger Junk minning between here and Aberdeen village was stopped by some men belonging to the Chinese Customs, and searched. Those on board protest that she wan in Britlah waters, and considerable friction between the Government and the local Com missioner will probably result. At the same time it is only fair to the Customs people to state that although a considerable amount of amuggl ing is done by Hongkong Junks, stringent instructions have been issued by Sir Robert Hart that the most particular care is to be taken that any spected vessels are in Chinese waters. beyond all doubt, before they are boarded.
