PERAK MURDER CASE.
WHAT IS LEGAL INSANITY?..
On the sard February, at Taiping, before Mr. Jackson, the Judicial Commissioner, Ngah Gafur, a Malay, was charged with the murder of seven persons on 14th December last at Bhot. The Legal Adviser, Mr. Kershaw, ap- peared for the Government of Perak, and Mr. Rogers was assigned as counsel for the defence. The prisoner pleaded not guilty." The evid ence showed that, on the date and at the place above-mentioned, the prisoner who had long been living separated from his wife and wo sons aged four and seven years respectively, came to the house where she stayed with the children. There he cut down and killed his wife and children. Then be slow-two, wo- men and a little girl. The next morning he killed an old man. The prisoner es-
out from time to time to burn houses. On the 2nd December, the police arrested the prisoner at a house belonging to his father, the prisoner being found concealed on a shelf in the house with a spear by his side, Counsel for the de- fence did not deny the facts, but pleaded that the prisoner was stricken with hereditary insani ty and could not be held responsible for his actions. The prisoner said that he went to the house to take away his wife and childen after killing the man at whose house they had put up. He did not meet the man, so then he killed his wife and the children. He was very fond of them, but he did not feel sorry for having killed them.ounsel denied that the prisoner, at the time of the crime, knew that he was breaking the laws of God and the principles of humanity, and denied also that he was offending against the laws of his country, The Legal Adviser urged that the prisoner did know that he was breaking the laws of the land, and maintained that he could distinguish between right and wrong in the ordinary acceptation of the ter defence had urged that it was necessary to prove that the prisoner could sell right from wrong in the moral sense.. The Legal Adviser pointed out that this moral right and wrong, rests upon no judicial authority and is not even mentioned in the laws of the State. The Judicial Commissioner left the insanity ques tion to the jury. The jury unanimously found the prisoner quilly, Sentence of death was passed.--Straits Times.
It appears that on the 9th January last, the compradore of the German firm previously mentioned ordered a quantity of kerosene al from the Vau Chili hong, and paid bank orders for it in advance in Chou, the owner of the hong, to the extent of Tls, 16,400.- Chau gót from the Standard Old Co. godown warrantscaped and took to the jungle. He sallied for oil to the value of Tis. 7,000, to, hand to the compradore, but as to bank orders to the extent of Tis. 7,200, instead of buying oil with diem as he was bound to do, he handled them to one Chan Lau-sui, an employe of the Hung Yu Bank, to satisfy a debt to that bank, and then absconded with what was left. Chao Lan sui had the bank orders Chou had given him. certified the same evening by the issuing banks. Later on in the evening the compradore, be ginning to fear that he had been defrauded, sent round to the issuing banks to stop the payment of the orders which Chou had receiv ed from him, and asked his unployers to re quest the German Consul-General to move the Mixed Court magistrate to instruct the issuing hanks to stop payment. He also made an attempt to And Chinu at his, the Yah Chib, hong, but only succeeded in finding two of the employes who were taken before the Chinese Bund magistrate, and testified that on the after noon in question the before-mentioned Chao Lan-sui had come to them and told them that their master had absconded, and they had better take whatever they could find in the hong and make themselves scarce. It appears that Chao, the Hung Yu. Bank employe, was interested with Chou in the Yah Chih hong, and it was through him that the bank lent money to the hong; and it was to repay this money that Choy and Chan concerted the scheme for planining bank orders from the compradore, and then getting them certified before it was known that Chou hád absconded. The scheme was thwarted in time, and there is no reason to supposed that it will produce any deadlock or trouble among the native banks generally.-V. C.-D. News,

The Singapore Free Press, of 701) instant in discussing the present situation in the Philig pines says
What must impress all who have any sense. of right feeling is the utterly artificial basis of the ruptire which is now afflicting the Philip pines with bloodshed. If we credit the United States Government with the degree of intelli- gence that the average person would claim for himself, they must admit that it was with them that lay the making of the situation for them to make it intelligible or unintelligible, tajet: able or intolerable. If it had been designed before hand to create hostilities; no better nor more certain way could have boon chosen than that which professes not for a moment: to have contemplated any provocation, whatever It is open of course to any man to go behindễ a mulo and stick pins into his hind quarters, But if anything unforeseen liappens it is of little: good to say that there was no intention to annoy the mule into retaliation." Anybody, nor an American President would say that there was fair ground for assuming that the mule would kick. But the milk has been spilt, and there's an end of it. What is it to be now? A war of slow extermination, or of exhaustion? That would bring peace to the Philippines, but what a pence? And what would be the standing their flag, rag as it may be, was contemned by traditions amongst those who only knew that men professing Republican principles and the upholding of Republican fraternity all over the world!

We have been furnished says the Juftu Gacelle of 6th inst, with the following parti- culars by Mr. 1. C. Menzies, purser of the

On the morning of the 16th uit. in 49.41 N. 129.17 W., about 200 miles from Cape Flattery, the Glenngle sighted a vessel flying signals of distress. Bearing down upon her she was found to be the American buque Coloma, of San Francisco, Callfomia, The Coloma was londed with milroad timbers from Chemainus, British Columbia, for Tientsin (Taka) China, whither she was bound, and was one week out from Cape Flattery. The vessel was waterlogged and very deep. The captain of the barque at first signalled to the captain of the Glenogle his desire to abandon bis ship and have himself, wife and crew taken on board the Glenogler There being a very high sea running at the time at was necessary for the two vessels to keep well apart, in order to avoid colliding. Captain. McGillivray thereupon or- dered one of his ship's lifeboats (No. 1) to be lowered, a task which, owing to the very dis turbed condition of the sea, was accomplished with much danger and difficulty. This boat, with chief officer Hutcheon in command put out for the disabled hargue. In the meanwhile, the crew of the Colonia bad managed to lower wife (Mrs. Jensen) was placed, and subse one of lier boats also, into which the captain's quently transferred to the Glenngle's life boat. Both boats then pulled for the Glenogle, and upon arriving alongside Mrs. Jensen was taken on board that ship. The second route of the Calpige, who was in command of that ship's boat, informed Capt. McGillivray that Capt. Jensen and his crew (consisting of cleven Zuropeans and two Japanese), were now disposed to stand by their ship and endeavour to take her back into port The Coloma had during the preceding six days experienced exceptionally benvy south-easterly gales, accoin. panied by tremendous seas, during which time no observations had been obtained, and slic had drifted for out of her course. On the 16th the Colonia's figurehead had been carried away, and she had sprang a leak forward, which was admitting water into her hold much faster than the pumps could carry it off. A considerable quantity of her deck cargo had been jettisoned. When hits Tensen left the ship there was about a foot of water in the cabinį it was rapidly rising, and the crew were shqut to take to the roof of the house. Upon receiving a positive refusal to abandon their ship, Captain McGillivray fum
