The present monopoly brings in a revenue to the Colony of $750,000 an- nually, and if the price to be paid for the new privilege will bear anything like the ratio derived by the Straits monopoly we should have an increase in the new Budget by approximately three-quarter million dollars per annum for the next three years at least. There is no reason why a much larger amount should not be paid for the exclusive privilege of dealing in opium in retail in the Colony and the New Territories. The increased and annually increasing Chinese -population-creates a larger demand for the A. S. WATSON & Co, drug, and the supply should increase in a like proportion.

Whereas it is expedient that a junk which does not comply with the International Collision Regulations concerning fights, and thereby occasions a collision outside the waters of this Colony with a vessel board to comply with such regulations, should not in the event of litigation in the Courts of this Colony in resp ct of such collision, be an a more advantageous pusition than such vessel." that even if the Ordinance had not been passed it is clear that a junk must carry such a light a reasonable distance,
as, to be visible at otherwise on a dark night a collision with a steamer might occur without any negligence on the part of those navigating such steam vessel. In the present case the plaintiffs say they had such a light and that the negligence consists in these on board the steamer not observing it till it was close by and collision inevitable.
You saw this on your own acuori ?—Yes. Did you say anything to him?—Not a word. After hearing further evidence, Mr. Sercombe Smith sentenced defendant to one month's hard labour.
PURSE SNATCHER SENTENCED.
Ia view of the many cases of serious offences which have come to the notice of the public during the past few months it is extremely satisfactory to note that Mr. Sercombe Smith is meting out such punishment as should surely put an effective, brake on the downhill career- of some of our audacions criminals. This morning the scoundrel who snatched a parse from Miss Alice Berkeley stood in the dock to answer for his cowardly act, and when six months later he leaves the prison after being given 20 strokes with the birch and enduring two hours in the stucks in view of passers-by, he may hold different views of purse grabbing.

After carefully considering the evidence given on both sides I am quite clear that both the Captain and second officer were carefully took ing out. They had already seen other craft and passed them safely, and not long before they had slightly, lemporarily, altered the ship's course to avoid a junk. They were, therefore, specially on the look-out forjaks, the lights of some of which they could see a mile or two off. It appears to me, therefore, incredible that he look-out man, the Captain, and the second officer should have, none of them, seen the ligh! of the junk until it was only a ship's length off and then all have seen it practically together, if it had been plainly visible all the time as a bright white light ought to have been. The decision I have already given as to the locality of the collision disposes of the contention of the plaintiff's Counsel that the Captain and second office had their attention diverted at the time by the unexpectedly close proximity of Putoi stand, hold therefore that the junk had not a light of such a character as to be visible at a reasonable distance. Judgment must, therefore, be for the defendants with costs.
