They are not abso- lutely necessary in the present motion as Mr Ng Choy is well-known here, and in so notorious-I mean the word in its good Nonse and I have therefore much plea sure la admitting him on this motion. I am glad to see a Chinaman soaking to run in a race the most highly intellectual in
who has been educated at St. Paul's College, the world. I am glad to see that a Chfriaman and who for years acted as interpreter in the Polios Court, has become a member of the English Bar. In England every office becomes open to talent without favour or affection. A distinguished American states- man has become and now is an ornament to the English Bar. All the Bar would gladly ball the time when a Chinaman shall distinguish himself as much so the eminent Counsel to whom I have referred. I have seen stranger things happen.
