MRS. ARCHIBALD LITTLE'S NEW BOOK.
Some people dream in millions, just de Cecil Rhodes thought in continents; but Trevor Lawrence is a millionaire who can sponk and act in millions sterling. He is "inordinately rich"--that is the first sentence in Mrs. Archi bald Little's intent creation, "A Millionaire's Courtship. He came into a hundred thousand

CRIMINAL SESSIONS.
'FORCED BANKNOTES,
The May Criminal. Sessions (opened at the❘ Supreme Court this morning, his Honour the Pusina Judga, Mr. A. G. Wise, presiding.
The first case called was No. 3 on the Calendar, that of Ken Iwakura, a Japanese, who had three indictments against him: two for uttering forged banknotes, and one for being in possession of forged banknotes purporting to he banknotes of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.
Evidence was given by eye-witnesses, and Dr. Henley said that he examined the body of the deceased and found bin skull badly fractured. The piece of wood produced would be eminently calculated to fracture a man's skull, if thrown with any force.

The following Jurymen wore impannelled: That concluded the cass for the Crown. Messrs. R. S. Judah, William Taylor, T. C. Defendant said that on the night in question Gray, Will. E. West, Horace C. Ólive, Jobabe went to his usual place in deceased's quanera Mitchell, and Emest Playmay,
to sleep, but deccased refused to let him in. Prisoner said he had been slowed to sleep there for nearly a month and deceased might let him sleep there ono night more. Deceased said he would throw something at him if he did not go away at once. Prisoner again beg. ged to be allowed to sleep there, ono night more, when deceased picked up a piece of wood and threw it at him and hit him on the head, Prisoner picked it up and threw it back and hit deceased on the head, and then ran away; bat as he was not pursued, he only went to the "ground floor and s'ept there Next day Ah Wee went to prisover and told him that Kwong Chuen was very sick and if he, prisoner, did not give him compensation he would be sum. moned. Prisoner said he had no money then, but if they would wait till he had finished the work he was engaged for he would give them His Honour: Ask him if he knew they were money.

The Attorney General, in addressing the jury, explained the counts of the indictments
His Honour, summing up, said that if the jury thought that the prisoner was guilty let them say so,, but if they thought the charge should be reduced to justifiable homicide not amounting to murder, it would be for them to consider whether there was anything in the evidence to show that the prisoner was placed

He got the watch and the change and went away. Five days after he went to the shop of Chin Yik to buy a box. By a strange coincidence the box shop belonged to the man from whom the prisoner had bought the watch, and by a further coincidence, the very man from whom he had bought the watch and to whom he bad given the forged banknote, was also in the box shop, and recognized the prisoner. The fold of the box shop handed down some
The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, against the prisoners by a majority of six to one.
His Honour said he entirely agreed with the verdict of the majority, but in sentencing him he would take into consideration that the pri- saner did not intend to kill the deceased, which would have been murder; but he lost his lem per, and so lost control over himself, and did an act which caused the death of a fellow- creature. He would be sentenced to 12 months' hard labour.

TRADEMARK PROSECUTION.
A QUESTION OF CHINESE MEDICINES.
At the Police Court this afternoon, before Mr. F. A. Hazeland, Wong Kaung Tse, of 147, Hollywood Rand, summoned Yik King Hoi, of 193, Hollywood kesd, for having falsely ap plied to certain Chinese medicines, a mark, so nearly resembling the complainan's registered trade-mark, as to be calculated to deceive purs chasers. It was also alleged that defendant had in his possession certain dies, blocks, ma chines, other instruments with the same intent.
Mr. G. K. Hall Brutton, of Messrs. Bratton and Hett, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. E. J. Grist, of Messra, Wilkinson and Grist, defended,
Mr. Brutton said that the complainant was a herb dealer, of allywood Road. It ap- pears that he had been doing business for the last. SIX or seven years. . For the last forty years complainant's family bad used a trade-mark, which was registered in 1817.
The defendant was formerly in the employ of complainant. At the beginning of this year he left the shop and opened an establishment of his own, as the same street, and care ed on a similar tradò.
Mr. Grist said that, in order to facilitate the business of the Cuuri, he would say that his client did not carry on business in the Colony. In fact, the prosecution had summoned the wrong man,
His Worship asked whether the summons could not have been altered.
Mr. Grist said that could not be done, now. The licence was issued in the name of another man, and that man was willing to come forth and say sh..
Mr. Brutton remarked that according to his information defendant was the man carrying on the herb business referred to.
Mr. Grist said that it was his intention of calling the other man as his witness, and the lalter would be able to say that he carried on the business. The defendant was only an employee in the firm.
Mr. Brutton observed that it was a very peculiar point. He wrote to the defendant, and since that date the mark used by him had been somewhat changed.
Mr. Grist said that it was for his learned friend to prove that the trade-mark had been infringed. There were only three words in complainant's trade-mark which appeared in defendant's mark. Those three words had been in use among tee dealers for about to years. The words were given by a mook, for that was his name.
His Worship-I had better remand the case sing die.
Mr. Grist-Yes, your Worship, and allow
the proper people to be called.
The case was accordingly adjourned until Tuesday, 29th lontant.
The General's wife, on learning that Law rence is a multi-m llionaire, determines that, if possible, he may be induced to take one of her daughters off her hands, and a picnic is arranged to Aberdeen, but from the match making mamma's point of view the excursion is a fasco. Lawrence is nut to be inveigled inte an engagement, and the General's daughter has, in the end, to be content with the AD.C. There is a trip to Macan, where the millionaire spends long hours in the romantic melancholy of Camoens' grove" and incidentally meets "the long-legged child," in other words, Belly, a most prec cious being, why sug gests that Trevor Lawrence should do some good with his munty. "Why not run,a line of steamers on the upper Yangise and build this railway through from Dormah?" she says and that is the idea which engrusses the mind of the Englishman until he determines to carry the idea into effect. It will be recognised that this is a militoare in very truth. He will have no companies to ruterfere with his pro- ject; he must be supreme head and himself furnish the capital.
The scene shifts to Shanght where Lawrence
and Lady Morten are involved in a round of frivolity, and incidentally become mixed up in some love affairs, including, an elopement. he long-larged child with her father the Consul-ficheal, appears on the scene again, the British official being on his way to resume his duties at Hankow. At Shanghai, Betty discards short frocks and becomes a young woman the dresses being supplied by Law- rence, who assumes the role of protector and
uadian, is rather an unusual idea, but it
may pass.
From Shanghai the travellers proceed up the Yangtse to the province of Szechuan, where they have various adventures. They have a chef, valet, masi, and all the appurtenances of civilised life, for Trevor Lawrence is what may be described as a managing man. They encoun- ter with a party of English lady missionaries, which gives Mrs. tle an opportunity of dilat ing on the self-sacrificing labours of mission- aries in China. At last they meet the officials whose assistance has to be obtained if the rail- way is to be built. The millionaire's dream is to have a railway from Rangoon in Hankow, with branch lines to Saifu and Chento along which to bring the material for the great Yon nan Railway, the Great South Asian, ultimate- ly to run direct from Calcutta to Shanghai
A new tugis being broughtout to work an the upper reaches of the Vangise. The sons of Lady Morten disappear and eventually turn up as cabin boy and seaman respectively ou the new vessel.
The watchmaker was called and corroborated the statement of the Attorney General, and was followed by the foki of the box-shop, who spoke to selling the box and being lendered the $to note produced.
Police Sergeant Lee staled that he searched prisoner at the police station and found one of the banknotes produced inside his guernsey, and one inside his under pants, and as the man was shaking his body about another one fell out of his clothes. Prisoner was charged and said he bought a watch and tendered a $ro note in payment, and as it was accepted and the change given him he did not know it was a forgery. He did not know until he was arrest ed that the notes were lorgeries,
Mr. M. A. Murray, a clerk in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, proved that the notes were all forgeries.
Asked what he had to say, prisoner said that on the 1st April one Matsukima Tandia went to his (prisoner's', bo irding-house and gave him the first note, and two days later came back and gave him the rest and advised him to go tu Singapore. He did not think the were forged.

The Attorney-General: That is the case for the Crown, my Lord.
.
His Honour, briefly addressing the jury, said they had heard the evidence and if they thought from at the prisoner was guilty they must say so, or if not guilty return a verdict accordingly on all three cousis, and asked them to consider their verdier. The jury after two minutes' consultation returned a unanimous verdict of guilty on all counts against the prisoner.
The Attorney-General: Before you pass sentence, my Lord, I would point out that this uttering of forged notes is becoming very com-
топ.
His Honour: It is a serious offence, and a man guilty might be sentenced to life im prisonment. Ask the prisoner what he has to say before 1 pass sentence.
The prisoner said he had nothing to say, and his Honour sentencedhimtoimprisonment with hard labour on each of the first two counts for five years, and to 18 months on the third count, the sentences to run concurrently,--five years in all.

The above jurymen were re-sword.
The facts briefly were that on the 4th May deceased was adjusting a plank as a gangway to the shore from the junk when he noticed some baskets of coal secreted and was inquiring about it when the two prisoners came up to him and struck him all over the body until he fell duwa exhausted, and in half an hour he expired.
Dr. Macfarlane deposed that he examined the body of Mak Kwai on the 5th of May, and found that death, was due to intereal humor. thage, due to the rupture of an enlarged spleen, the body was also much bruised. Evidence was taken in corroboration of the facts set forth, in
the address to the jury.
The Attorney-General stated that the com- mitment of these men was for murder, but on consideration of the facts he did not con. sider he could indict them under that charge, so he reduced it to manslaughter, First prisoner said he was struck and his basket thrown overboard, and then there was a fight. Second prisoner said he heard a fight, and saw some coolies fighting in the bows, he went to separate them, and then he was accused.
His Honour suid the evidence was a bit con fused, but the jury had it in evidence that deceased died from a ruptured spleen and it was for them to consider whether the prisoners' acts had caused that rupture, if so they must find the men guilty of manslaughter,
The jury, after five minutes' consultation, re- turned a verdict, unanimously, of guilty against both prisoners,
His Honour, in sentencing the men, said there was a difference between manslaughter caused by rupturing an enlarged spleen, and manslaughter caused by a blow over the head, and he sestenced the men, to six months' hard labour, each.
ALLEGED ARSON.
The Attorney-General said in the first case on the list in which Li Nang, Fong Chun, and Chan Chok were charged with aison, he had, after further consideration of the evidence, decided not to proceert with the indictment, and would accordingly ask his Lordship to discharge the prisoners, which was accordingly done, and the Sessions were adjourned until
