Apparently the the case is now being busily dis cussed in the Far East, and a personal nots has been partly in troduced which, our German contemporary thinks, is not cal. culated to encourage Chinese trust in German legal judg menta.
An open letter, which is signed by respected German merchants, and amonget them also by employes of the bank, sad of which numerous. copies have been sent to Germany, refers to both the German judg- ments in form and tone which are, the writer considers, certainly not fitling.
On the other hand, the letter sats forth facta which are worthy: of notice. Thus it is stated that a Tsingtan Judge, who was Judge. in a ponding ease connected with that at Trinanfu, published an article on the compradore question in two numbers of the Gormin paper at Tsingtan, in which by legal quotations” he re- presented the bank as in the wrong, and in a manner depicted An interesting article appears to the plaintiff the grounds of his in the Frankfurter Zeitung in case, and which the plaintiff which it is pointed out that Ger- counsel referred to in his plosd- man merebants in East Asin are inge.
