Witness was requested to stand back. Later on, he produced a small memo randam book, and said he should like to refer to it if the Court would allow him. The entries were made at the time. (They much resembled the entries in the log book:)

THE FAMINE DISTRICTS. Letters have been received from Ping- yang-foo in Shansi, ander date 20th May, to the effoof that the relief distributors there were in their last week of distribution, and they were heartily glad it was drawing to an end at last.

FINDING.

1-We find that Charles Sauter kept the ship's log book in an irregular and negligent

manner.

3-We find that Charles Bauter is guilty of insolent and insubordinate language to the master.

3.-We find that the master, Gamaliel Thomas, was aggravating in his manner towards Charles Sauter, tending to create a breach of the peace.

Further news is also to hand from Tien- tein, where the heat was felt to be excessive, and where the drought was parohing the country far and near.

There was every apprehension of a famine again, and en appeal was made for all the relief money to be sent on to Tientsin for use in that neighbourhood, where it was most urgently needed.
