I was away when the crocodile was brought in, but I arrived at night to wit- nose a scene worth sketching. Thero lay the prostrate bruto, with heaving flank, and now and then a sycop of the tail that in- dicated with what force it could be used.

One of the officers stopped forward and gave the beast a kick in the side, which ha resented with a stroke of his tail, that would have cartainly put a stop to my friend's kicking for some time to come had it taken effect.

The fort garden was crowded by the men, and the glare of torches, the gleaming of weapons, and the angry glances from the poor Hadjie's friends at the victim before thom, formed a scene not easily to be described nor readily forgotten. Spoon inlion was rife as to whether the right crocodile had been caught, but all agreed he looked fat enough to contain a Hadjie during Balan Puasa. This was soon' eat at rost, aud i had the satisfaction of putting three rifle bullets in the neck of the brute, which settled him.

They began their operations by distribut- ing to every house in the town printed circulars, setting forth their business, ad naming a ridionlously low price for their services. In this circular it was promised that the longest switches should be re- novated for 10 cents oach, while the charge for renovating curls and "fronts" was even lower.

His own diet cost him from 6d. to Sd. per day, and upon this he asserted he did not live sparingly, but obtained plenty of nourishment.

As far as our experience goes, no Ma- darin likes to give foreigners special pleasure by ordering the immediate execution of the punishment. In this case the judge, was, perhaps, induced by the foreign Assesser, who complied with a request made by the travellers to see a Chinese punishment. There is no bench in the Mixed Court prepared for this purpose; defendunt is stretched on the stone floor. This mode is also more convenient than a bench.
