Notwithstanding the serious questions able amusement the published official correspondence relating to these Treasury Frauds. That the members of the Commission performed their duties care- fully and impartially is beyond doubt; that their finding was more than justified must be palpable to any Intelligent person who has gone through the evidence. If they erred at all, it was on the side of leniency. No patching up of the truth can do away with the only too evident fact that it was Governor ROBINSON's bounden duty, apart altogether from personal feelings, on receipt of the Commission's report, to at once suspend Messrs. WaDzHOUSE, MAY, and MITCHELL-INNES from further duty in this colony pending instructions from Downing Street. His Excellency's excuses for not adopting this course with any one of these erring or incompetent servants of the Hongkong ratepayers, as set out in his despatch to the Marquess of RIPON, dater 26th April, 1893, are too childishly serious consideration. This historical despatch, which from beginning to end bears the unmistakeable trademark of Mr. Secretary O'BRIEN, is only a late edition of that old-fashioned PUNCH and JUDY show in which the puppets are roughly knocked down and then carefully set up again. Either Messrs. WODEHOUSE, MAY, and MITCHELL-INNES were severally and jointly responsible for these frauds, or they were not! If they were, they ought to have been equitably dealt with; if they were not, they had All a right to honorable acquittal. we wish to say regarding the statements these officials thought fit to make in extenuation and defence of their alleged Incompetency or neglect is that, to our way of thinking. It would have been much better if they had suffered in silence; their letters to the Government, especially that of MircHEEL-INNEs, only aggravated the offence and placed their inexcusable neglect in a worse light.

Mr. Robinson raised a preliminary objection to the first three counts of the indictment on the ground of insufficient description of the goods as to which the offence was alleged As to the foorth count he objected to the form on the ground of ambiguity.
Mr. Francis explained that the offence alleged was that the defendant made his tea appear to have been of Yuen Sun make, and all the items complained of were parts of the one offence.
After a long discussion, the first three charges being set aside, and the others selled, the following special jury was swom

Mr. Francis stated that Chu Ya Tin, of the Kwong Man Tai hong, had worked up & verr valuable trade in tea for Central and South Americe. The marks and make-up were well known is those countries. The defendant had claimed was intended to resemble plaintiff's tea, made up tes with an appearance which it was and would deceive customers. It was for the jury to say whether it was an attempt to imitate or not. He then detailed at very great length the points of resemblance and of difference.
