DECISION OF THE TULL COURT.
The appeal from the Chief Justice's recent decision on the question of domicile was dis missed with costs to-day. The point to be decided was whether a min, not being a re- sident, nor having a place of business in the Colony, could be adjudged bankruptio Pong kong. In his former judgment the Chief Justice was of opinion that the Court had juris- diction to entertain the petition, and granted petitioner the Receiving Order. The opposi. tion appealed against. the decision, and the Fell Court, comprising the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Gempertz, dismissed the appeal, as already stated above.
G BERIZORIALITY.
In the course of his judgment the Chief Justice said (-1 have given my.best considera-, tion to Sir Henry Berkeley's careful and concise little argument op a point which seems still open to argument on my judgment from which The appealed, but I think the conclusion of fact at which i arrived was warranted, and that having specially in view the aspect of the bank. rupcy. jusiidiction which I endeavoured to elucidate, the conclusion of law bared on the concluribe of fact was sound.

In a lengthy judgment, delivered by both judges this point was upheld, and the prisoners were discharged. Immediately the decision was announced the Attorney-Gennial preferred another indictment against the mon, charging them again with murder,
To this procedure, Counsel for the defence objected. He said he did not understand how they could charge men twice for the same offence.

landed Accordingly the consulting engineers, in collaboration with myself, prepared a plan of a smaller scheme, which we roughly estimated could be carried out for the amount of the estimate. The alteration consists of shifting the southern entrance &o feet northwards, thus shortening the breakwater, which is curved in to sull the new position of that cotrance. Diberwise, the scheme remains as before. The saving resulting from the shortening of the breakwater will be about equal to the cast of the additional works at the chitances, includ lng the reclamation.
All damaged packages must be left in the Godowns, and a certificate of the damage obtained from the Godown Company within ten days after the vessel's arrival here, after which no claims will be recognised.
