ALON what it has been before, Judy MAN'S character should be judged that means elegance or worthlessness can bs discerned. A story should be judged by its true or false bearings, so that right and wrong may be distinguished. There remarks apply to the case in which Messrs Mei-Tsang shun Yee and Woo Lin Tak were, on the 27th day of the 10th moon last year (34th November 1875), slandered by Lai Ming Chun,

blesers Tsang Shun Yee and Woo Lin Tak have been residing for more than ten years in Hongkong and have always been employed in representing Nam Pak Hongs in their transactions with foreigners, While their character stands high, their con- duct is excellent, and they have for a long time back been respected by both Chinese and foreigners. They have not only not borne & asme that is approaching to any thing improper, but they have not in the course of all their actions done anything slander came upon them unawares, but of objectionable. Unexpectedly, however, conme, when virtue stands high, reproach will come. They were therefore falsely ebarged by Lai Diing Chun's letter, which' was void of all truth, with selling people for emigration abroad. They are indeed la- bouring under a false imputation from which

It is now difficult for them to clear them- selves. Our office, therefore, in punkhing Lai Ming Chun for having done what he ought not to have done, orders him-and he consento-to pay the sum of $600; the amount of legal expenses; he has also by way of punishment to pay $26 into the Foor Box for the benefit of the Hongkong Poor. He is further punished by having to pay the expenses of advertising in the Chinese and foreign newspapers in the Colony, three of eacb, for the period of one month, a notice which will bring before the publio his sin in this defamation, Reparations ko these will, perhaps, allay in a rou sure the indignation which Messrs Toang

This is suffi cient to shew that Mobart Thang and Shun are peaceful and quiet men, and that they: have done a very good act. But Lai Ming Chen is a man who is very much conceited it. the night pedestrian who thinks a great deal of himself), and one who falsely dilates in satire and raillory.

Therefore it would not be arbitrary were he to be banished beyond the frontiers, nor would it be too much were he to be put to the word (lit. under the axe). Now that he is only fined in au small a sam, it is indeed his good fortune that he has oscaped greater consequences,
