THE WANCHAI MURDER.
A woman naned Wong Po stood on an indictment charging her with the murder of Kwong Cheung at 143 Queen's Road East on the 5th of February last.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
The Chairman thought they must all be deeply indebted to the Hon. Mr. Whitehead for coming to give an address upon a subject in which, Englishmen were greatly interested. At the present time the Government had their hands occupied with the Transvaal question, but that very shortly would, they hoped, be, stiled, and there was no doubt that unless they paid more attention to that great Far LEast, China, they would have very great cause for regret. (Hear, hear) He was, therefore, tell them or advise them as to what possible extremely obliged to Mr. Whitehead for coming chance there might be for what he called the ansion of trade in China, but he (Mr. Jones) would rather put it, the expansion of English trade in China.
