We were rather surprised to ses that no onc appeared in the Court to watch the case un behalf of the Crown Authorities her, and the solicitor who appeared on a previous occasion for the defence was also nonspicuous by his absence.

A FOMEWHAT Original spoculation was start- ed this morning at No. 104, Queen's Road Central, the originators of the venture being, we believe, strangers in the Colony. Application was made to the Captain Supe rintendent of Police for permission to open a gallery for the display of photographic pictures, and this being granted, the 'show' was opened this morning and has since then been crowded with Chinese and other visi tors. The display of pictures turns out to be a clever scheme for the ripid sale of a largestock of cheap fancy artioloi, partaking to's great extent, of the nature of lottery. The shop is arranged with a long countor running down the centre. Behind the connter, on a red cloth covering the wall, Brenttached several rows of photographs
