She was anchored below the shipping, and the passengers and mails very properly detained until needful steps could be taken and all doubts remored.

GENERAL GRANT'S VISIT. (From a Correspondent.)

until a

dant's shop and the plaintiff now sought to recover the jewels or the value of the same, Mr Johnsen appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Ng Choy for the defendant. The case was heard last Tuesday, when Mr Ng Choy contended that his client was not liable, his business of a pawnbroker being regulated by Ordinance 3 of 1880.

The stone which marks the spot on which the Saint is supposed to have died is in the centre of the Chapel and bears the following Inscription in the Portuguese language:

Life in death.

Here was interred S. Francis Xavier Of the Society of Jesus Apostle of the Orient. This stone was erected in the year 1839 Restored in the year 1869. The following letter was sent to Mr da Conta to-day:

Bis Lordship differed with this view of the case, as the defendant, although a pawnbroker, was still liable at common law. The Ordinance was no doubt more favor- able to the pawnbroker than common law, As under the former the Court had discre tionary power while under the latter it had not. The plaintiff gave an account of the loss of the jewels, and stated their value, and proved their being traced to the pawn- shop. Mr Ng Choy said that some of them were pawned so far back as November last, His Lordship said it did not matter how long ngo nor how often the things had been pawn ed, it would not affect the question at issue, Mr Ng Choy referred to neation of Ord: 14 of 1846, but His Lordship said that was repealed. He could not see that pawn brokers were under such special protection as was attempted to be shown. The toss of the jenols-two rings and a gold watch -having clearly boon proved, Mr Johnson comfort. referred His Lordship to the case of Chesseman. Exall, which showed that property stolen could not be legally held by either the pawnor or pawnes providing the rightful owner proved his claim.
