MORE GAMBLING.

·Fung Ayan, residing at 97 Queen's Road East, was summoned by Inspector Rivers for keeping a public gambling house.

The Inspector proved visiting the house compapy with a party of Police on the 220d inst, and hearing a great noise inside as of people running sway. He obtained an entrance through a window by means of a ladder, but was unable to effect an arrest as the whole of the inmates had decamped by an opening through the cook-room on to the roof. The house was fitted up as a gambling house and was furnished with the usual implements for carrying on an exten- sive business.

The case was remanded till the 29th toptant.

CRUELTY TO ANIMAIS,

But that "It" is the very word we question, and our endeavour has been to show that foreigners do not enjoy the full privileges of extra-territoriality under any existfug treaty obligations, Our argument is that the treaties only confer a portion of extra-territorial privileges and inmunities open foreigners, and we shall bara to confess to a disappoinment if our purpose has in any way been left obsoure. The enbject is one which could not be undertaken is a cursory manner, and as it necessarily extends over several articles, we trust our critics will have patience to read the whole series before confessing their inability to follow the arguments with any good result." The result we hope to attain and we think it a good one,is to show the difference between extra territorial immunities as popularly under stood, and those actually conferred by a treaty; the difference between privileges conceded in law, and those acted upon in practice,
