The North China Daily News comments strongly on the evils exposed in Mr. Justice Clarke's judgment in the Tarrington case, which was published in full, and should be classed as a masterpiece. Our contemporary goes on to speak of the Assistant Harbour Master, Commander Hastings, RN, who, like nestly every official in Hongkong, held an acting appointment, that of Marine Magistrate, but who seems to be as devoid of any ordinary idea of justice, as he is ignorant of a magls trate's powers, This seems strong language, hut It is the simple effect of Mr. Clarke's judgment. The men were all put in the dock together, with no one to speak for them, and they received sentences of 10 and 14 days' imprisonment, though no act of disobedience was proved; and it was left to the captain to pay them what he Hked, with what dedactions be close to make, And
to discharge them, although by their articles they were called to a passage back to England. A most
