THE CHINA MAL.

HONGKONG, THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 1868.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at Singapore lately pronounced judgment in a case which attracted a good deal of attention there. It is not destitute of interest for Hongkong in view of the administration of justice, for it waS A CASE of contempt of court," and its result supports Sain Waller's observation, that there are "Magistrates who commit themselves twice as often as they commit other people." Mr Davidson, a legal patitioner in the Supreme Court, ceme into verbal collision with Captain Ord one of the commissions for the recovery of small debts. The legal man was not engaged in any caso at the time, but had waited on the commissioner at the latter's request in reference to a certain notice of appeal. Both allega perfect innocence of provocation, but Captain Ord admits that he told Davidson his "tone was con temptuous. Davidson thereupon let and was walking away when he said the court. I turned round (says hel

That the coni--- missioner was not in joke was made plain next day, when the Court bailiff' received A warrant to arrest the practitioner if he refused to pay the fine. He did refuse, and was accordingly taken to jail for seven days, in the torms of the warrant, but was released on the fourth day by order of the Governor, who dirvoted also that the fiue should be remitted.
