The Peace Conference.
LONDON, 28th August.
The Conference has been again postponed until Tuesday at the request of M. Takahira, who explained that he had received nothing from Tokio.
ENGLAND WORKING FOR PEACE.
Laler..
The Times Portsmouth correspondent quotes a high, Russian authority for saying, that a far stronger influence than that of President Roosevelt, namely, that of Eng land, is working for peace.
A new treaty of alliance between Great Britain and Japan was signed not many days ago, and this is one reason why new pro- posals will possibly be forthcoming at the Conference.
M. Takahira, being asked at an interview at Portsmouth if the situation was hopeless, replied, "not hopeless, but almost so."

LAW OF REGISTRATION.
ABERIOUR OMISSION-
MAKES CLUMBY FRAUD POSSIBLE.
I propose to draw the attention of the Go. vernment to what ‘seems to be a very serious omission in the law of registration, which does not make dite provision for a proper investiga tion by the Land Officer of the identity of the parties by comparison of their Chinese signa-
tures
This omission it was which made what is really a clumsy fraud, possible." So said Sir Francis T. Piggott, the Chief Justice, in concluding his judgment this morning in the important impersonation case from Macao. I will be remembered that Lo Kwong Chiu, a student, residing at Macao through his next friend Lo Foon Hing, of 23 Bonham Strand East, sued Vincenzo Pietro Masso di Peralta, merchant, 4 Queen's Road Central, claiming (1) That a document bearing date the 28th of March, 1995, and purporting to he a deed of mortgage of the plaintiff, Lo Kwong Chiu, to the defendant of the plaintiff's share and interest in infand Lot No. 7 be set aside, and that the registration thereof in the Land Office by Memorial No. 37,541 be can- celled; (2) That a declaration be made by this honourable Court that the said docu- ment is a forgery and void, and that no charge upon the piece of ground registered in the Land Office as Inland Lot No. 7, or the plain- tiff's share and interest therein was affected thereby,

dant.
His Lordship, in giving judgment, said: The mortgage on which the defendant relies in this case is a palpable fraud. It is quite possible that owing to the use of a maine which was not the name of the true owner of the pro- perty mortgaged the case might not fall strictly within any of the definitions of forgery given by Stephens in his Digest of the Criminal Laws though I have little doubt that such a case as the present, if it had occurred in England, would have been added to the list of cases given in Article 356, illustrative of what is meant by making a false document. Hut even if this were not so, the offence of obtaining money by false pretences was committed. The argument of the defendant's counsel pressed In its logical conclusion comes to this: that although the maker of the deed had been found guilty of one or other of these offences, yet the true owner is not entitled to have it cancelled In connection with the Hongkong Branch of or set aside-if he comes to the Court under this Institute, a course of eight lectures has circumstances which raise suspicion as to his documents of title; in other words, that the been arranged as follows:-Wednesday, Sept. deed found to be a fraudulent deed is to remain 6th,-Practical Building Construction, Mr. T. of full effect in favour of the non-fraudulent L.

The case in which Wong Hok's extradition to Shanghai was sought, on a charge of embezz. ling jewelry and money of the total value-of $2053.40, the property of Wung Wan Tic, was called on before Mr. F.

his sons, the consideration being natural love and affection, Bat for the purpose of the argu.
ment I assume that the other assumption is the correct one. Now the maxim is illustrated in the text books by the following case. If a per son seeks to cancel an instrument on the ground of fraud, equny will not interpose un his behalf if he has been guilty of wilful parti- cipation in the fraud. Hut, the books continue, the maxim must be understood to refer to mis-
very serious omission in the law of re gistration, which does not make due provision for a proper investigation by the Land Officer of the identity of the parties by comparison of their Chinese signature. This omission it was which made what is really a clumsy (raud possible.
ISSUE OF NEW CAPITAL.
As there is urgent need of additional funds to repay the overdraft dus to the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and to complete the payments for the new building on the reclamation, known as "Hotel Man-. sions," the directors desire, at an early date, to obtain the sanction of the shareholders to the issue of additional new capital which they hope can be floated at a high premium.
