They were separated. The prisoner contended that if he had intended murder he would have used the sword which was in his possession. This statement put the case in very different terms and if this version was correct that there was a quarrel and they were fighting on level terms, then it would be a case of ordinary manslaughter not murder while if prisoner was only defend ing himself without using any undue vi- olence it would be a case of, justifiable homicide. But doubtless his Lordship would inform them of the law on murder. He could not tell whether the defense would call any witnesses, but one point was certain, that the prisoner did not deny that it was his hand that inflicted the blow. Aftah Dita would tell them that four men were sitting around the fireplace talking at the time of the murder and that their talk was inciting the prisoner to strike the deceased, as he was then without the support of his friends. The prosecution could not call those men as witnesses and would not shut their mouths by placing them in the dock along with prisoner.

PHYSICAL DRILL
His Excellency the General had offered a shield to be competed for in this contest and so naturally great interest was shown, this was fully maintained on Saturday as it was not generally known that the winners had already been decided upon last Thursday, when Capts. Berger and The Hon. Trefitis, A.D.C. to the General, had acted as judges. On Saturday, a display was given by both C. Co. under Colour Sergt. Kelly, and "H" Co. under Colour-Sergi Murphy, the former being the winners of the shield and $50 and the latter the second prize of $25. These exercises are done with the rifle and demand great staying powers in all muscles. The two teams were so remark, ably well matched and did the exercises so splendidly that even old non-coms were quite unable to say which was really the better. "C" Co., having perhaps the greater number of | advocates,

ALLEGED MURDER.
This morning at the Supreme Court Clicba Khan was armignert on a charge of the wilful murder of one Gulam Hassan on March 8th in Kowloon. The flon, Attorney General pro- secuted and Mr. Slade (instructed by Messrs Wilkinson and Grist) conducted the defence.
The billowing gentleman composed the special jury-Messrs G. L. Tomlin, G. W. Playfair, B. Layton, E. Osborné, W. H. Gaskell. W. Danby, and R. M. Gray,
The Hon. Attomey Genéral, în opening case for the prosecution, said that both prisoner and deccasal Gulans Hassan were soldiers in the Hongkong Regiment. The latterbeing a Lance" Corporal or Naik and the prisoner a private: Each company in the Regiment is divided into four sections and occupies a block of buiklings. in which each section has a separate room. The room occupied by No. 4 section of "D" Co., to, which the parties belonged, and of which be had a plán seemed to be 9 feet Jong and zo fect broad, in the form of a long parallelogram, with its two long sides incing respectively north and south, therefore, the

There is a space between the two rows of beds to allow of passage from one end of the room' to, the other. There are windows in the walls so there is plenty of light in the room.

There were two other men in the room; they were asleep at the time but one, Allah Din, woke immediately afterwards and saw decensed lying on the bed and being a non-commissioned officer went out to report to an officer.
MA-PYTHON LOOSE ON A
*GUNBOAT.
*
An exciting and amusing affair occurred on board H.M.S. Antiler a few days ago, which, while it lasted, gave the ship's company a lively quarter of an hour. There are two pets on board, a big Borneo orang ulan, and the other a fine sample of a python about nineteen or twenty feet in length. This creature, which had dined heartily on a deer about three weeks before, had begun to feel its appetite come back again, and in searching about its box for an exit found a place in the side in bad repair.
iri His snakeship was through that twinkling unobserved, and seeing the orang tan, who was chained up a few yards off, invited himself on the spur of the moment to potluck upon that unfortunate quadruman. The python at once coiled for his spring, his mode of saying grace before meat, when aud- denly the quarter master; Dickson, taking all this in a glance, promptly cut poor excited Jack loose, who was up at the mast-head' in a brace of shakes. Lieut. Larking, the proprie: tor of the orang udan, the quarter-master, and another of the crew, who were all on the scene, flung themselves instantly on the hungry python, one at the head, another at the tail, and one in the middle, Then the band began to play, for the python wanted to get one of the aggressors in his coils, ciddled up against something hard, and the others meant to keep him straight, and free from such uncomfortable kinks. For a moment it was the Laocoon group over again, only in this case three men and one sunke, and sprawling all over the deck instead of standing upright in classic marble attiturles. But reinforcements arrived in hot haste, and about twenty sturdy bluejackets, each embracing a font of python,
reduced the reptile to comparativa quiescence. The procession marched back to the python's box, coiled him down inside, and shut him up. But Jack sat like a cherub aloft at the mast. head for a long time before he came to the con clusion that he was "off" the ment of the day. -S. F. Press.

One more point he had to deal with and that was the motive of the crime, it was, very difficult to arrive at the genuing motive but doubtless There was some good reason. It might have been the reason ascribed in the statement of it may have been money matters. After again explaining his position as regards the four men before inentioned the Attorney General called his first witness.
Arthur Hazeland employed in the Public Works Department, who had made the plan of the room, gave evidence of its correctness and said it was possible to see the bed on which deceased was lying through a window from the verandah, as alleged by Juan Khan.
Mr. Slade cross-examined as regards the actual positions of the beds and windows.
Robert McDonald, a constable, gave evidence of arrest. Allah Ditta was then called and gave the same evidence as reported at the Magistracy. In cross-examination Mr. Slade elicited the fact that witness-understood at the time that the four men mentioned above incited the deceased, and saw him walk down the whole length of the room with the heavy broom in his hand, but did not think he was going to murder the man but only had the broom to clean the floor under his bed. He saw prisoner walk up to deceased's bed with no other weapon except the broom in his hand and look to see if he was asleep. He had had no orders to interfere and so did not even call out for assistance to save life, but sat quietly on his bed smoking while he saw the burder committed, simply because he had no orders and there was a hovildar present.
Case adjourned for tiffin.
Aftertifin the cross-exammation of Allah Ditta was resumed. He said that he was on duty up till p.m. on the date of the murder, he was patrolling around the lines. Two men went and laid themselves on their beds and covered their faces. He did not see any thing about the prisoner; he was cleaning his master's sword on his bed and did not see deceased pick up a bmom and assault the prisoner. When the order to remove the prisoner and deceased was given by the subadar the pri oner was in the barrack room; he had been brought back, Witness when asked by the subadar if he knew anything about the wounding of deceased would not give information as he considered the subadar favoured the prisoner. The four men who, witness said, had incited prisoner to murder were brought into Court and identi, fied, witness maintaining that all four had acted conjointly.

On the above date in that room between 1.30 ahd 2 pm deceased seems to have received some heavy.violent blows on his head. These blows were caused by some heavy blunt instrument. He died at 3.30 p.m. on the same day in hospital and a postunarten examination was held. Between the time when the blow was struck and de ceased died he was unconscious.

He strongly appealed for an Imperial grant, as an acknowledgement of the generous response of India for the war. Lord George Hamilton said the magnitude of the faming was undoubted, but the mortality was much less than in previous famines; food was cheaper and the people were fighting the difficulties with courage never shown before.
Lord George Hamilton referred to the probable surplus notwithstanding the fatnine, and thought it was impossible for the Treasury › advance a large sum for charit- able purposes. The Government was consider ing whether advances might not be made to small farmers after the drought was over, and he was communicating with the Viceroy in regard to same. The Government, he said, would continue to develop railways, and push ba irrigation and do everything possible to diversify the occupations of the people and promote technical and industrial education, India had put her distress aside and shown her sympathies with the Empire, and we are bound to promote as rapidly as possible the restoration of prosperity and plenty.

Although outclassed, the Oxonians struggled pluckily throughout, but were exhausted, while the winners apparently scarcely turned a hair.
