It has been pointed out that Juok Hay has been used for a great number of years as a safe anchorage for vessels making the part of Hongkong and arriving after dark. If vessels have to remain at sea all night, standing off and on rather than accept the hazard attendant upon entering the port after dark, or during bad weather the risk incurred is increased very considerably, as the dangers of a voyage are generally greatest when a vessel is in the vicinity of land. The extra consumption of coal would be considerabia whilst a steamer was cruising about outside and most of it would be saved if the steamer were lying at anchor with banked fires. In foggy and bad weather it would be a great hardship if vessels were compelled to remain

THE OSAKA STABBING CASE.
L
REASONS OF THE COURT.
Considerable' attention was aroused some weeks, ago, says at the fupan Chronicle, by the sentence passed upon a coolie nimed Kato
Chojiro, who stabbed Mr. Ruegenberg, the assistant engineer of the Osaka Gas Company, the knife narrowly escaping a vital part. For this crinte the coulie was sentenced to m» prisonment for a term of fifteen days with labour. The sentence appeared lepient when contrasted with the offence, and seems to have encouraged the coolies to continue their menaces against Mr. Ruegenberg, who, after receiving many threats, was compelled to leave the country, and has now returned to America. In view of this latter circumstance we have applied for and obtained a copy of the judicial decision given, with a view of learning the reasons advanced for the leniency shown | towards Mr. Reegenberg's assailant.

In a few months' time the Misu Bishi will bave in full working order at Wada Point, Kobe, a new dockyard, equipped for dealing with all branches of sling repairing work.

FEROCIOUS DOGS.
A PUBLIC MENACE,
•ORDENED TO BE DESTROYED,
This morning before Mr. F. A. Hazeland, a resident of Kowloon was summoned for allowing vicious and ferac ous dogs to be at large, to the public danger. Li Yeng, a painter, said that on the 24th inst., at Iour o'clock in the evening, he was carry ing some things along Robinson Road. As he passed defendant's door,the dog rushed out barking, and then ran at complainant and bit bin in the thigh. Complainant did not touch the dog or do anything to it. He went to hospital, and was de ained ont day for treat ment. The wound was painful till yesterday, but betterto-day. Kwong Nan, another painter, corroborated last witness, and added that the dog came out of No. 33 Mosque Junction and bit the complainant. That was the residence of the defendant, and he knew that the dog belonged to defendant. He went with the constable and pointed out the dog at the de-
fendant's house.
which was seized.
In considering the law, the Court finds that the action of the prisoner comes under Clause 2 of Article 301 of the Criminal Code, but as extenuating circumstances exist in the the case
We may add that Article 301 provides that a person who shall have assaulted and injured another, causing him to be sick or incapacitated for work for over zo days, is liable to imprison ment from une to three years. In case the duration of sickness or incapacity for work is less than 20 days, imprisonment ranges from one month to one year.
