Witness was not personally ac quainted with Delegak previously to his arrest. When the, sketch was mentioned in the Defendant's statement Witness, asked for it and Defendant handled it over and it re- mained in Witness pussession until given to the Crown Solicitor. X15 May directed Wit ness to send J'. 'C, 29. The selection was not made by Witness nor did he see Complainant when Mr. May gave the detective his directions. P.C 292, concluded twenty-five years service a short time ago, He gave security on being
Je sworn.
Here Mr. Hanson went to ascertain the names of the series. Capt. Supe May cross-examined by Mr. Francis said-He Eént P. C. 22 because he had confidence in him. So far as he knew the man, had no connection with the case. He was not sent at the Complainant's suggestion and witness was not aware, even now, that he was related in Complainant.
Mr. Hanson having returned, stated that the surety for P.C. 292 was Hang Shu, half owner of a fresh fish shop named the Hop Shing, No. 132 Central Market. The date of the security was 1st February last. Witness gave P.C. 293 his orders to go to Complainant's house on the 23rd April. It was between and noon. The Detective reported on the afternoon of the 23rd that Mr. Crisp had not come to the house. Witness told him the affair concerned a Public Works official. He did not tirink he mentioned Mr. Crisp's name. The detective's orders were repeated on the morning of the 24th April.
P.C. 292, Cross-examined by Mr. Francis, In English, said, He had been 23 years in the force. Asked as to when he was re-sworn he said he did not understand. He lived at 25 Victoria Street, On questions being put as to the number of storeys and what the walls off the house were made of being put, Witness said he did not understand.
How many tie rods are in your house? I don't understand.
I went to Complainant's house at 9 am on 24th April. The Defendant was arrested at 31.50 a.in. I saw the notes. I saw the. Con plainant take them out, count them on the table, and put them on the desk in front of

HONOUR FOR SIR CLAUDE MACDONALD,
The following letter from the Marquess of Lansdowne to Sir C. MacDonnid respecting events at Peking is published :—--
Sir-have received and Jaid before the King, your despatch of the 24th December, inclosing report, in continuation of those already received, with the accompanying maps, on events at Peking from the 20th June to the 14th August regarded from the military aspect. As the present report, completes your ac count of the siege and relief of the Legations, desire to take this opportunity of stating how admirable and exhaustive records of an episode" bighty His Majesty's Government value these of the deepest historic interest.
The gallantry with which the defence was maintained by all the foreign forces engaged, more especially after the failure of the first relief expedition, and the consequent disap- pointment to the besieged, coupled with the energy and courage with which the efforts of the regular forces were seconded by the Leg- ation staffs and other civilians, has commanded the admiration of the whole civilized world..
His Majesty's Government desire also to place on record their appreciation of the im- portant part borne by yourself throughout this Crisis. On the and june, at the request of fence, a position for which, from your military your colleagues, you took charge of the de- training, you possessed exceptional qualifica. tions; and from this date you continued to direct the operations of the garrison until the relief took place on the 14th August.

THE LATE MR, HARRY FAUNCH,
I cannot conclude this despatch without asking you to convey to Lady MacDonald the thanks of His Majesty's Government for her unceasing and devoted attention to the com- fort and welfare of the sick and wounded. Her work, and those of the ladies who "assisted her
have earned the lasting gratitude not only of those who benefited by her ministrations, but also of their relatives in Europe who were kept for so many weeks in a condition of the most painful anxiety and suspense....

REFORM IN JAPANESE HOTELS.
A recent Kokumin Shimdan says — The Jiji Shimpo is strong in favour of hotels. We are entirely in sympathy with our a reform in the management of Japanese contemporary. That strange and yet time. honoured custom of giving tea-tip makes it very awkward for any person unaccustomed to travelling to put up in a Japanese hotel. The
sum of the money paid as for tea is absurdly are. It is most usually larger than die amount of hotel fare itself. Foreigners travelling in Japan naturally do not know anything about this strange custom of ours and do not pay thé tea-money according thereto and consequently it becomes necessary for a hotel keeper to regular fare. This gives foreigners the bad charge these strangers more than double of the pression that they are over-charged just because they are strangers. At any rate we think it with our contemporary to be of urgent should be introduced in the management of our necessity that a thorough and radical reform

On that day I waited at Complainanis house from 10.45 aun, to 6 pm. At six o'clock Complainant said it was no use stopping longer as the European was not coming. Complainant said Defendant had asked him for money two or three times. The Chinese accountant was there all day on the 23rd. When Defendant came on the 24th I was sit. ting in a chair near the window and the accountant was sitting at a desk in the middle of the room. The accountant was in the room all the time. There fas not much furniture in the room, not any furniture. There were two cubicles and a sitting room on the same floor, The sitting room had an English desk and a Chinese table in it. The doors of the cubicles were open and the Defendant went into them. Complainant went with him. Complainant and Defendant spoke English the whole time. The Defendant did not go on to the upper floor. The accountant is the servant of Complainant. I had never seen or beard of Complainant before. I was sent to 362 Queen's Road by Mr. Baddeley after the Defendant was arrested. The first person I heard speak about money at 9 Old Bailey was the Defendant, who said, "You must give me fifty dollars" I did not ⚫ understand what was said before. I did not understand their talk about the roof and wall I heard roof and wall mentioned but did not understand. I saw Complainant take out the notes, count them and put them in front of the Defendant. He didn't hide them at all. De fendent looked them, folded them up and put them into his pocket. I did not see him fake out a pocket hook. I was so close that missions. I could see one of the notes was a 525 one
