SANDICO AND OTHERS. #4 WIĻUMAN,
This case came on for heating at the Supreme Court. Mr. J. J. Fraquis, QC, (instructed by Messrs Wilkinson und Grist) appeared for the Plaintiffs. Mc. Slade for the Defendant.
Mr. Slade before proceeding with the case, informed the Court hat, Mr. Wildman had been prevented from attending the Court yes, terday owing to indisposition. He had come down stairs but had caught a fresh chill.
Mr. Slade then applied for a dismissal of the case on account of the Plaintiff's not answering certain interrogatives as ordered by the Court, The Plaintifik had had nine months in which to comply with the order of the Court but only one Plaintiff, Apatibile, had complied. The Plaintiffs had not appealed against compliance but had only asked for extension of time, This time had now-expired and Mr. Slade asked that the case might be dismissed. It was no argument that one of the plaintiffs bad answered, the order of the Court was that ali four should answer, The learned. Counsel then quoted cases in Chancery in which the Court had power to dismiss a case when its orders had not been complied with.

A privale letter from Weihai-wei, says amon the 7th Marines were landed on the mainland at “Flagstaff point on account of the threatening aspect ofthe natives, who were swarming through the native city in turbulent and excited croyds, the city being full of bad charactors collected from all quarters, thus showing that the whole altair had been premeditated!

The Chinese Regiment is behaving splendidly, four have been wounded and many of their. opponents killed.
Tho natives are said to be incensed against their own Tantai, while unfavourable remarks are made by the Wel-hai-wei Europeans on the fact that the British official interpreter is a 'German and said to be an exofficer of the Prussian army.
The Army Commissioner here seeins to be making as great a mess of things as did the Civil Officials over the Kowloon Hinterland affair.
