His Worship-She admits the charge Defendant-The revolver is dot mine; it be longs to my husband.
In the time of feudalism, 770–221 B.C, the feudal lords and princes kept their own re tainers, and were frequently fighting amongst themselves: Philosophy, literature, and the aris flourished, but every man had, during some parts of the year, to practise the art of fighting Even Confucius ever wore his sword on his and a long sword was the mark of a gentleman.

Mr. Thomson: No, my Lord, but an impres sion has got abroad in the Colony that the de fendant was given to-well, to exceeding him sell, and I want to kill that impression.
Mr. Sutherland was called and stated that damages had been sustained by reason of the defendant's breach of the agreement as in consequence of the defendant's refusing to go on the Hop Sang to Saigon and Singapore they lost a large number of passengers, as they were bound to have a doctor on board if they carried Chinese passengers and they could not get a doctor, and thus the difference he tween the two voyages was $3,030 odd.
They had been compelled to get out another doctor and he was expected on Sunday next. They usually paid them first class passages, which come.to about £ba.
Cross-examined by Mr. Thomson: No report was ever made against the sobriety of the defendant.
Mr. Thomson then submitted that the defendant was perfectly justified, in terminst ing the agreement, The Terms of that agreement were that the doctor should serye two years, but it also contained the proviso that should the doctor at any time, by insobriety, health, wilful disobedience, elc be incapacitated from carrying out his dut es the agreement should terminate. Now that agreement was terminated by the doctor doing certain things as he was entitled to do
His Honour: Yes, get drunk and disobey the orders of his employers.
Mr. Thomson: There has never been any suggestion of drunkenness against him, my Lord.
His Honour Oh, quite so; but now, tell me; what good was the taking of his de bene. evidence ?'
Mr. Thomson: It showed that the defend. act was morally justified ——
Hit Honour: Morally immorally I should call it.
Mr. Thomson: They held out inducements to the defendant to come out they promised in put him on the Calcutta run, but had not done so, and they told him there were always extra fees for eniblaming Chinese corpses.
His Honour: Quite so, that's extra and special work, but do you suppose that the company is going to kill the Chinese passent gers for the doctor to embalm?
Mr Thomson Then again, nothing was said about his living un shore while the ship was- laid up, and living on shore is more expensive than living on board where all is found. the Company disputed his account,
But
His Honour: He cannot claim for drinkes: Mr. Thomson, No, my Lord, but he was put to a lot of extra expenses for carting his baggage about, and one box went astray, and though he wrote to Mr. Giessen about it he never received any reply.
His Honour: Well, That's as may be, but I don't see what the missing trunk has to do with his plea of justification. He could not ex- pect to make a profit out of his own misdeeds.

Mr. Halmes: Oh, no; I am not going to ask for casis in that action. I would ask for the return of the two memoranda of mortgage returned by La Fuk, as there were no title deeds to the property which was en small that no Crown lease was issued, and these memo. randa form the only existing title deeds.
His Honpur: Oh, yes; they can be returned to Ip Fuk. There will be judgment for the defendant in the first suit with, costs, and for the plaintiff in the, second suit with out-of- pocket costs only.
