PILATE AND HEROD RECONCILED.
Mr. Francis begged to apologise most humbly, and withdraw unreservedly some remarks he made yesterday referring to Mr. Leach and the
art of lying. (Allusions of this sort have been so for payment to the headmas, and the rules advantages of life in Siberis. On his back were and supposed to be out of earshot, "I would bear war or much work done, of any kind, would that blle so many have urged the claims of
frequent of late that the reports of them began to crowd out more serious matter, so that at last we had to stop publishing them.) He would do what he had never done before undertake that on no fature occasion'whatever should his anger get the better of him.
Mr. Leach replied to the same effect, making the most ample apologies and withdrawals.
His Lordship gave them an appropriate bless ing on their reconciliation, and the trial then went on smoothly in the same old monotonous style, with the addition of a little sugar.

THE TANG A LOK WILL CASE. arguments turned on the suthenticity of certain On the continuation of this case to-day the Inscriptions on the tombstone of the testator, purporting to show who was next of kin,
Mr. Francis submitted that as the old tomb jone had been removed and a new one put up by Tang Pak Shan, one of the defendant' witnesses, it could not be introduced as evidence for the defendant,
THE CHINESE WILL CAKE The cross-examination of the defendant occupied most of this morning. The next witness, To Sing, said he was cook to Tang Tung Shan, and was sent to take copies of certain inscriptions on the Tang family tombs. Tang Lal Sang had given him a copy, for comparison with the tomb, He noticed three men standing near. One looked like a stone-cutter, one a gentleman, and one a servant. The first was chipping the lowerip-greasing deliberately added to the inscription, thus tion. Witness saw two sentences cut by bim. fraudulently altering what might be material evidence in this case or some other arising out of the will.
Mr. Francis objected to any statement of any sort as to what was inscribed on the tomb. It was a written document, and certiäed copies or
ubbings must be put in.
The witness said that his copy of the mother's epitaph tallied with the carved inscription, but not the father's. One of the men standing there said his name was Tang Siu Seng. Winess saw him again, at the door of this Court, on July 8; identified 'bim now in Court by the back of his neck, not having seen much of his face,
In cross-examining the witness as to the inscriptions on the tombs, Mr. Francis produced , and referred to a black-lead rubbing of Chinese carved characters, which witness said was the same as be had seen, except that there was added on the paper "Kan Chong, worshipping son," after "here lies Tang A Lok" thus making It appear that the next of kin was plaintiffs

The case was adjourned until Tuesday, and it is hoped to finish by Thursday next.

July 17th.
INARTISTIC LYING.
Mr. Morrison, of the water and drainage department, was sued for damages caused to Ng Sile Kiu, a contractor. The same parle appeared in the police court à fow ́ days ago when the defendant was fined fifty cents for
assault.
Plaintiff and
two other Chinaman said
The defendantaed a Sikh watchman said that the "assault" was nothing more than a push with the open hand; plaintiff in stepping back fell over a stone seat, and broke the bangle in bis fall.
This admission would have given the plaintiff a verdict, but in the course of the story about the brick It was so manifest that the plaintiff and his witnesses were lying outrageously that his Lordship said he could not believe a word of their story, and gave judgment for defendant.
IN CRIMINAL JURISDICTION.
July 20th,
Mr Leach replied that as the plaintiff's treatment of exiles at the mines ?
Have you had opportunities of seeing the counsel had charged the defence, with fabricating "I have not yet been to any of them. The evidence he in turn charged one of the plantiff's Russian Government is now sending more and witnesses with having while the case was pro-mora prisoners to the mines at Sagballen instead--to-Paoching.

From there I hope to proceed to Saghallen, and then home via Japan." I presume?"
"You have seen nothing of the great railway,
His Lordship suggested that the matter of the lombstone be left over for further tagalry, and some other evidence be taken in the meantime. Counsel managed to control their tempers adcairably, and after a little discussion the casc was adjourned to Monday next.

SIBERIA AND ITS PEOPLE,
Newspaper readers have no doubt observed during the last four or five months a series of articles and sketches, dealing with Siberian subjects, appearing in the lustrated London News. These are the work of Mr. Julls M. Price, a special artist of that well known paper, and are part of the result of nearly a year's remarkable travelling through almost unknowŁ regions, Mr. Price having lately arrived in Shanghai, a representative of the North-Chins| Daily News called upon him the other day and was enabled to gloan some interesting particolars of the artist's travels. Mr. Price is of middle height, this, bronzed by travel, alert in manner, and with more of the soldier than the artist apparent in his outer man. He talked about Siberia like a man in love with his subject, He has interviewed Boulanger, de Blowits, and seemed to be quite happy in being interviewed other celebrities for the Pall Mall Gazette, and himself, pouring forth his store of information with great fluency.

Its curious, by the bye, how little news about Russia is to be heard in Siberia. The telegraph system of Siberia is splendid; messages cost telegrams posted up, giving the news of the world very little, and at most of the hotels there are leaving out Russia. We had the news of the fast supposed Jack the Ripper atrocity at Irkutik the evening after the murder was committed, As to the railway, I don't think the government ever contemplated its being used by globe trotters; as some people seem to think. It will be a military work, but, its great importance will be in developing the vast mineral resources of Siberia. during the progress of the work will pay the cost I believe the gold, etc., obtained of the line. At present the Siberians only carry on gold mining in a balf-hearted way and with very Inferior implements. An engineer told me that with modern machinery he could extract a left by the Siberians after they had got all the profitable amount of gold out of the refuse ore gold they could out of it."
