The case made some stir in the province, and to allay the popular excitement a rhyming proclamation against sedition was issued, of which the following version was published in a recent number of the Shang- hai Celestial Empire. It forms a fitting finale to the not unromantic episode of "Perkin Warbeck in China." Listen, ye people, and hear, and guide ye your

steps in the right way! Right lies apart from Wrong: this is a maxim

to heed. Wrong cannot overcome Right, Right hondure

Mr May cautioned the Inspector: the witness did not see Robertson exbibit the Warrant; he ought to give evidence only of what he saw, or knew of his own personal

In reply to Me Sharp, witness said that the six bottles sent to Mr Niedhardt were taken from a case which was broken open in his presence: there were no other cases

in the Police Store when these cases were put in. He identified the six empty bottles which he had taken to Mr Niedhardt.

P. O. Robertson was next called; he is

Mr Sharp asked for the highest penalty (a laugh),

Mr Wotton said that he submitted, on the ruling of the Magistrate, that the fine would be the same so that just imposed on the Chinaman.

His Worship concurred with Mr Wotton. Mr Sharp observed that it was neverthe-

in a respectable position to sell such liquor to that of a Chlaaman doing so the mer- chant ought to asalat the Government in auch a matter.

Mr Wotton remarked that Mr Heyer had no knowledge of the quality of the liquor.

The Crown Solicitor said he would with draw all the prosecutions against the other publicans, as an act of m roy: he hoped they had been taught a lesson which would induce them to take greater care in the future.

The Court then rose.

A YOUNG THIEF.

Im Atin, a conk, aged 18. is employed to cook the victuals of a fortune-teller named Leung Tai Wan, and had been so for four days. Leung had tried to buy a silk jacket worth $6, but found that it was beyond his moans, so he deposited $1.80 ou sonunt. On second thoughts, however, he determined. to economize, and sent Atin, with the jacket, to fetch back the $4.80 deposited. But poor Leung's economical purpose was well nigh being rudely upset. The chance was too much for the cook-boy; he appropriated the money, and went off to have a good time.". He was found this morning on board the Canton steamer, and brought back. $4 of the spoil, with some dash, were found on his person, and he was run in." The young Book who was thus led away with the notion that it was a good thing to trade on borrowed debt with his master's money, and was afraid to go back; so he thought of going to Canton instead. His Worship, who seemed to enter fully into the nature of this boyish freak, sent the youthful Atin to solitary confinement for ten days on rice and water, and ordered that his locus operandi" (which is now the popular name for it) should be warmed by ten strokes.

There is no other organic compound that has the same smell sa fuel oil though there are sovorel compounds containing the game siements varying in their proportions, which paan readily from one into the other in skilful hands. An ounce of pure cognac might give a headache, and a larger goan- tity might be injurious to health; it would defend on the man. But the same quantity of the liquor-produced would do more barm than pare brandy or cognap. I did not try the "Vieux Brandy," but some friends to whom I gave it tried it. It was in too small desce to do injury. The small phial produced contains a drop of the fusel oil, from which the smell peculiar to fusel oil cau be discerned.
