Mi. Kanwles submitted that, while the court had jurisdiction to try the accused, it had no power to i et sentence of death, but could only pase such sentence, short of death, as it might think was sufficient punishment,
A PREVIOUS C Sk. Mr. Rhodes referred to a decision of the local court, of appeal, in 1816, at Penang, in i that only capital punishment could be infl.cted for the crime of piracy. After considerable dis: Custion, his Lordship painted out that, he had nd power to adjourn the case and reserve it for consideration by a full court of judges,

said Lord Chatham, "is va, plant, of slow growth." People believe in things that they THE H. A. L. Steamship see, and in a broad sense they are right. What is sometimes called blind faith "is not faith at all. "There must be reason and fact to form a foundation for trust. 'In regard to a medicine or remedy, for example, people ask "Has it cured others? Have cases like mine been relieved by it? is it in harmony' with the truths of modem science, and has it a record above suspicion ? If so, it is worthy of confidence; and if I am ever attacked by any of the maladies for which, it is commended' I shall resort to it in full belief in its power to help me." On these lines
"DORTMUND," Captain Malchow, having arrived, Con- signces of Cargo are, hereby informed - that their goods are being landed and placed at their risk into the hazardous and/or extra- hazardous Godowns of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co.

WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION has won its high reputation among medical men, and the people of all civilized countries. They trust it for the same reason that they trust in the familiar laws of nature or in the action of common things. This effective remedy is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative' properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. It quickly eradicates the poisonous; disease-breeding acids and other toxic matters from the system; regulates and. promotes the normal action of the organs, infallible in Prostration-following Fevers Anemia, Scrofula, Influenza, Wasting Diseases, Throat and Lung Troubles, etc. Dr. WZA: Young, of Canada, says: "Your tasteless pre- paration of cod liver oil has given ine uniformly satisfactory results, my patients having been of all ages." It is a product of the skill and science of to-day and is successful after the old style modes of treatment have been appealed to in vain. To try it is to trust to it forever after. It cannot disappoint you and is effective from the first dose Sold by chemists everywhere.
