SIR HENRY BLAKE,
The cold reception accorded Sir Henry and Lady Blake upon their arrival at Penang en route to Colombo has been commented upon by the Straits Echo, which says, "one would naturally have supposed that a Colonial Governor would have been met by some official, and had a carriage placed at his disposal during his short stay in port. Such, however, was not the case. Only Capt. MacIntyre, the Harbour Master, of all our numerous officials, was there to receive the distinguished passenger, and Sir Henry and Lady Blake saw what they wished to of Penang from a humble public ricksha.. It
may not have been the particular duty of any official to have received them, but how- ever, that way be we think the 'chilly very superior vintage. All are guaranteed reception does Penang little credit." As pure Xeres Wines.
Samples bottles and smaller quantities will be supplied at proportionate wholesale
rates.
We only guarantee our Wines and Spirits to be genuine when bought direct from us in the Colony or from, our authorised Agents at the Coast l'orts.
we recently pointed out in our columns when Sir Henry, and Lady Blake arrived at Singapore, number of Cey lonese residents were at the wharf to greet the new Governor of the Colony. Furthermore, when the dialle sailed there was a similar gathering of Ceylonese to wish
the distinguished passengers farewell, and before the ship left Miss Sibyl Gunatilaka, daughter of the P. &.. Company's wharf manager, who belongs to Ceylon, presented a handsome bouquet to Lady Blake, who expressed much pleasure at receiving the gift. It seems curious that no such welcome was accorded our late Governor by the

siding at 162 Queen's Road West, suing as The case of Tso Cheung Shi, a widow, re- executrix of Tsoi Beung Po, deceased, against To Shing, a trader, of 22 Feel Street, to recover the sum of $28,000 money received, and $12,000 damages, came on for hearing before the Chief Justice (Sir W. M. Goodman) at the Supreme Court this morning.
The Hon. H. E. Pollock, K.C., instructed by Mr F. B. L. Bowley, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. W. Slade, instructed by Mr. C. E., represented the defendant. H. Beavis, of Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist

The parties, not by themselves, but the place in consequence as the Russians en- by going to a solicitor, had the contract reducdeavour to bring pressure on them through the ed to a formal legal document, and they must land or fall by what was in the document. The plaintiff was before his Lordship to ask for damages because the agreement had not been carried out, and contended that the document could have only one meaning, viz, that Taoi Heug Po was entitled, on the proper payments being mude, to the delivery of the steam launches. That is to say, Tsai Heung Po, and he alone, was the person entitled to go to the defendant and say, "Everything has been accomplished as regards payment; hand over the launches." the first launch was not handed over directly regarding the second there was a difficulty and to Tsoi Heung Po, but to his no ninee, while

Some of the yamens have been changed almost out of recognition as Chinese offices, and big guns are mounted on the walls, while sinult Pussian flags are flown over most of the doors, but these, and the yamen flags are not visible from the rail which is three miles off, hence the report that no Russian flags ale flying over Moukden brought by some foreign ravellers through.

Hon. Pollack, continuing, said it was about as clear an agreement as could be. At the end, the contract showed, in addition to the $49 coo, which defendant received in various sums on account, there was also paid over $15,000 on account of the balance, and there only re- mained $14,000 outstanding. Therefore, the position was that the defendant was bound to deliver the launches to Tsoi Heung Po upon
