The "Lock Handle" Attache Case.
TH
HE “LOCK HANDLE,” as illustrated above, T fills a long-felt want. The ordinary Sliding Nozzle Lock, unless locked with a key, is always liable to fly open.
The "LOCK HANDLE" is absolutely secure, one half being attached to the body of the case and the other to the lid; when the two parts are engaged and snapped together the case is doubly fastened and on the key being turned in the lock, the case is trebly fastened.
The closed HANDLE (see top case in illustration) is the essence of neatness and security and very comfortable to carry; the second case shows pouition of the two parts of handle for opening, the bottom case shows the handle opened.
The bottom part of handle must lie on front of case for opening and closing.
A Case fitted with this HANDLE can be carried without fear, the user knowing the impossibility of the case flying open
A glance at the pivots and slots near handle plates will at once show the reason for this,
We stock this case and shall be pleased to show it to anyone interested,

In a regulation by Capt. Elliot,dated Macao, 16th May, 1841, It was stated that the leaving of seamen and other persons on shore at Hongkong without the written permission of the Government being at- tended with expense and danger to the public peace, it was do- clared that masters of ships convicted of such irregularity- before the Chief Magistrate would be liable to a penalty not exceeding £100.
Seamen belonging to mer chant ships found on shore after sunset, without a ticket of leave, were to be arrested and sent away at the charge of the ship.
