On the way, however, a Man choo woman aged about 30, stopped the progress of the vice-regal procession, and persistently refused to move out of the way, as she was also going to the Temple and was kowtowing as she went.

A CASE of some interest came before Mr Justice Snowden to-day at the Supreme Court, a Chinese woman suing for fees as a medical practitioner. She claimed to have been in practice in the Colony for sight years and that during that period ale

Of this, 600 Teels have been for warded to Me Richard, who has so nobly thrown himself into the midst of the dis treas, and the rest has been sent to Tientsin for distribution by the missions there. The famine committee consists of a represents tive of each mission in Peking with the ad dition of Mr Eesdon and Dr. Bushell who have consented to join in the work. The Governor of Shan-hai in a private letter speaks warmly of the efforts made by Mr Richard for the relief of auffering, and saya that the death rate is not so large in general as during the first outset of cold weather when so many suosumbed, but the distreza generally is not better.
