Judge Chao of a Hankow Court created history in China in his just and praiseworthy judgment which he rendered in the case of the chauffeur who on Tuesday last ran over and seriously injured a sixty-three year old Chinese on tho Bund. The car he was driving was an official machine in which Dr. C. C. Chang, Acting Minister of Finance, was riding at the time. In his judgment Judge Chao fearlessly accres these officials who have felt that breaking the laws, was an official prerogative and points out that offelals are not the masters, but the servants of the people.
A notable feature of this case is that instead of the official "giv- ing a few dollars to quash the case," for the first time in the entire history of this district an official has actually been ordered flatly by the Court to pay 1 stated amount and sufficient com- pensation to the injured party, and that without.official permission an com- official chauffeur has been mitted to jail for a period of six teen months.

WIDER SCOPE OF MEMORANDUM.,
An extraordinary general meet- ing of the company was held yes- terday in London for the purpose of making certain alterations in the memorandum and articles of association.
In the absence of Sir Hugo the chair- Cunliffe-Owen, Bart, man, Mr. Samuel Jordan Gillchrest (one of the deputy-chairmen of the company) presided,
The chairman stated that the reason for calling the meeting was that the directors had been advised by counsel that it was åd- visable to enlarge the scope of the memorandum.
in
Amongst the reasons that he gave was that, at the time that the company was incorporated, its activities were practically confined to manufacturing and exporting tobacco goods, whereas now, in all the important countries which the company traded, the business was carried on by a com- pany incorporated in the country the result that concerned, with the bulk of the company's profits to-day arose from the receipt of dividends and not from direct trading.
Counter Revolutionary.
The chairman went on to say In imposing the sentence, Judge that in 1902 all suppiles were purchased from outside manufac- Chao said.
"Driving a car with great speedturers, whereas to-day the com- is violating traffic regulations and pany itself was interested in many when somebody is killed, it is an companies which were.. manufac offence against the law. At pre-turing supplies, such as wrapping sent the chauffeurs in Hankow material, foil, paper, etc. speed their cars in order to make a show and relying on the power of their official masters, they see fit to oppress the people.
Hence it is often seen now that cars run on the streets' without light and without sounding horns. This not only violation of the regulation but shows no regard for lives and is indeed against the Three People Principles, and is same as counter revolutionary.
The Safety of the People. It is a great mistake to think for a moment that they should permit their chauffeurs to endan-

Recently, out of 16 working directors, 13 were abroad on the company's business, and only three at home. He added that it was not the intention of the board, if the resolution were passed, imme- diately to appoint six additional directors, and the board should be in the position to appoint further directors ន and when they thought it would be in the in terests of the company to do so.
Both resolutions were passed unanimously.
The company would petition the Court as soon as may be for permissior, to alter the memoran- dum.
