October last, the prisoner was transferred to another part of the department. I found bo was not sufficiently careful in the tally board and in his accounts. I had no sus picion of any irregularity then. I placed him on another work under the superin- tendence of the chief foreman. I put him in the Arsenal under the eyes of the chief foreman. I put. Corporal Bass, R.A., in charge of the magazines. I did not give any orders to Bass, but his duty was to take over the stocks from the prisoner. In taking over charge, Baas' duty was to report whether they were correct or not, He and the prisoner went over the stocks. Bass reported a deficiency of 340 rounds of Martin-Henry ball-cartridges. I directed a close examination to be made by chief foreman Grimble.

Me Sharp replied that the charge of em bezzlement was a graver one and he would proceed with it first, and until he received farther instructious, he would not proceed with the charge of desertion at present.

Mr Wotton asked if Mr Saarp would abandon the charge of desertion.

The Magistrats remarked that the de.. fendant was arrested by a warrant on a specific charge of desertion, and it would be regular to proceed with that first.

Mr Sharp then announced his intention to abandon the charge of desertion, but would proceed with that of embezzlement under Ordinance 6 of 1875.

It was also ascertained that the wounds were inflicted at nine o'clock the same morning, by a man with whom she had refused to associate, with a fan-dagger which was found in the room with the handle broken as though in a struggle, and stained with blood. There were other native women in the house, who, on being asked why they had not called the Police, said they did not know what to do. The wounded woman, who had lost much blood, and had lain in the con- dition described for more than three hours, was conveyed to the Shantung Road Hospital, where she lies in a precarious state.

The Post-office is only a public office, used and paid by the public, and it is as much the duty of the officials to study the interest of their employers (namely, the to consider his private employer. public) as it is that of any private individual This is a matter which affects more par- ticularly the mass, as merchants and monied men have other means of transmitting even small sums. It would be interesting to know how many orders pass between this and Shanghai-bot many, I think; fact, the clerk appeared hardly to know what the charge was until he had held a whispered consultation with one of his colleagues, so that from a speculative point of view it seems unwise to make such a charge. If a Fair and reasonable charge were made I am inclined to believe the Chinese would avail money very largely, but I do not believe that they send much under existing circam- stances; they love the almighty dollar too I know by experience that the Chinese are invented ways and means of squeezing a cent or two out of a dollar undreamt of in other lands, but this should hardly bo adopted by a British Post-office.
