gested. If the amendment was not made at the present time there would be nothing to prevent the Crown subsequently charging the defen dant with having received four boxes of cigars, and whatever the issue in the present case. might be it would have to be gone over again. It was in order to prevent such repetitions that the Legislature in England, and subsequently out here, had given power to the Court to make the necessary amendment if it was of opinion the accused would not be mysted or pre judiced in his delence by adopting such a course.

His Lordship quite agree with you,

The Attorney Generd:--As our Lord.hip pleases.
His Lordship pointed out that he could not help thinking that as the prosecution knew of the facts the could, if they wished, have in- cluded the receipt of the cigars in the indict- ment. He thought that probably they did not, because it would be conting it rather fine.
The Attorney General:-This is alone transaction.
His Lordship...... think I would not press ibat, Mr. Attorney.
The Attorney General inhaated that he
proposed to call a person from the cigar shop, to support the st.tement of a witness who bought the cigars,
Mr. Slide observed that he did not care whether the man loght ten cigars, ten boxes or the whole shop full.
The man was not called.
Chief Detective Inspector J. W. Hanson gave evidence regarding the construction of defendant's house and the approaches to the various rooms. fle also mentioned that defend- ant, when he left the police force, had his discharge marked "Very good."
Re-examined by the Attorney General:- Defendant was given notice to leave the Naval Yard Police.
The Attorney General then put in the depe sitions referred to carlier in the day, and announced that that closed the case for the prosi culion.
Lam King Shan was re-called, and admitted that on the 3rd June he was fined $3 for not having a signboard erected above his premises,
DEFENDANT'S STATEMENT.
The defendant then read the following state
ment:-
I came to this Colony in December 1892, and joined the police on Szo a month. Now, after various changes in my service under Government I am drawing over $239 a month. I was appointed on the permanent staff on the 1st November, 1901, and 1 took up the duties of Inspector of Markets on May 1st, 1932 I im- mediately made myself thoroughly acquainted with the various bye-laws relating to markets and have since my appointment rigorously enforced them whenever I found a breach of those bye-laws
invariably cautioned the offending parties at least twice, and in the event of that having no effect I took out summonses which were approved and signed by the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon prior to issue. Th's does not apply to such sections of the bye-laws as those relating to hawking without licences, cruelty to animals, etc., where the
offenders were arrested in the spot. The fines
inflicted for breaches of the market bye-laws during my period of office have been very heavy; much more so than in any preceding similar period. With regard to accepting br bes I can truthfullytestify that I have never done so in my life. The case brought against the master of the Hop Wo Chan shop, but not proceeded with by the Government, shows that I do not accept bribes. This man was arrested the same night as I was and charged with offering me $:07 ɑn behalf of the Poultry Guild of the Centml Market about twelve months ago. He admitted having offered me this money, but said that I refused to take it, and said he had it still. He told the police where to find the money and they sent to his shop and found it. I have been offered presents on other neca inns and have always refused them, and have so reported to the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon. Especially on Monday June 1, 1993, during my absence, a
defendant disproved some of the cases, nther- rested entirely upon his words and good character for refutation. He nituded to the omission on the part of the Crown in not call- ing any of the Europeans who were alleged to have been in defendant's house on Christmas Day, and asked the jury to accept the straight- forward statement of McEwen that he was out bicycling that afternoon He dwelt at great length upon the fact adduced, and concluded was a real and solid by submiuing there danger of their conviding an innocent man if they listened to the evidence of the witnesses. Should defendant he convicted be was very much afraid there would not be an Inspector of Markets to dare to fairly enforce the laws and regulations of the markets,
The Attorney General replied in a speech lasting over an hour, and a few minutes after five o'clock,
Tis Lordship proceeded to sum up, pointing out that the jury were not dealing with a man of a suspicious character, but with one who had hit eito had a good character and had worked himself up to a responsible position which would enable him, if he chose, to put pressure | on people. They were not there to discuss the question of the inorality or immorality of ac I have been on duty in the slaughter house 1cepting bribes: because there was a special have never left until everything was secured, Ordinance enforced in the Calany to avoid any all the butchers cleared out and the work discussion of that point.. He called their atten finished for the day. With regard to the fourth tion to seveni general aspects of the case al and fifth charges alleging bribes given on luded to and said it was a thousand pities, in the Christmas afternoon, I can say positively that interests of the, defendant himself, that when was not at home that afternoon. I went out he was offered $203 he did not seize hold of early after tiffin, but where I went I cannot the man and give him in custody. Before now remember. I never stay at home on holi proceeding to review the evidence his Lord days, but go out bicycling, shooting or taking-ship said the case had been exceptionally ably exercise in some form. On Christmas afternoon conducted both on the side of the prosecution I am almost certain I went out on my bicycle, and the defence. and 1 certainly visited the Central Market on my way home at 6.30 pm. as my occurence book shows. I know I got home la'e for dinner that night, but more I cannot remember. My wife who was at home all da, Christmas day tells me that she remembers several Chinese called on
Common sense would tell them that if an In- spector of Markets received $150 on the 24th December and $100 the next day from poultry dealers, it was clear he would know it was offered to him with a view to influence his con-
duct. He urged them to give their utmost attention in considering whether or no de fendant did receive that money.
If it was false then there came the question of the wit nesses-whether they had committed perjury or not. The whole question was whether they believed the evidence or not.
The jury tired to consider their verdict at $ 53 par, and returned inte Court at 6.23 p.m. with a verdict of not guilty on all counts.
The accused was discharged amid applause, which his Lordship characterized as disgrace ful. The Allomey General asked if some one could not be named who committed that gross contempt, but the usher was unable to do so and the crowd that bad assembled in Court throughout the day then dispersed.
Christal is Day, and asked for the Inspector, and that she sent them away telfing them that I was not at home. I have dealt with the witness, Ip Chung, for several years past huy ing poultry from him. He has frequently been to my house to collect bills or bring me things I have bought. He knows the arrangements of the house well and that I keep poultry and pigeons on the roof, for he has been up there himself. On Christmas Day last I am sure I had no guests to timin. I would certainly remember it if I had. I tiffined quietly at home and went out shortly afterwards and did not return until dinner time. My character ever since I came to the Colmy, and before, has always been good as may be seen from the letters and certificates have received from the heads of departments and others, which I produce. I am a married man with a wife and children to look after and a good pension to look forward to, and I would hardly be such a fool as to risk my whole career by taking bribes, as these wit- resses against me allege. My wife is a good inanager, and with the help of what I received

LONDON, 20th July. The report of the Australian Federated Capital Site Commission, places the town of Tumut in New South Wales, first.
Great Britain, Russia and Corea, Reuter's agency at Yokohama wires that the British representative has requested that Wiju be opened to foreign trade. M. Pavloff at an audience with the Emperor of Korea opposed the opening of the port.

British Consols.
Mr. Ritchie speaking at the Mansion House repudiated the charge that he had insufficiently safeguarded the Sinking Fund, and declared that in four years the Fund would reach the sum of £9,000,000 which would be unprecedented; he declared that British Consols were still the best and greatest security in the world.

Immediately upon the passing of the Pontiff the Camerlengo, or Chamberlain, of the Church, which in this instan e is H.E.
