is well known, was that Sheik Alim wes acquitted by the Magistrate. It appears from what we bear that Als Excellency was displeased with the course affairs had takon. In the frat place he thought the case ought to have been dealt with departmentally by Capt. Dennas and not brought before the Police Court. Captain Posne, we believe, pointed out that he based his action upon in- structions received some years ago. His

Excellency, however, did not put the saten construction on the order; and further expressed his dissatisfaction at the charge having been brought against only one man, leaving the sharers in the indiscretion to appear as witacases for the defence. Menn. time the Chinese were not a little incensed at the result of the trial. They began to talk of there being one law for foreigners and another for Chinese, and it is even said

As we anticipated, the very strong foel- ing of indignation that has been evoked by the action of the Executive in ro- gard to the Verandah Tax is likely to make a practical form. The best form of publio protest against the arbitrary proceeding of the Governor in this cat- ter is perhaps a public meeting of all classes of the community. It may be contended that the Governor of the The Colony has a right to do whatever his Executive Council agrees, by a majority, that he may do; and this contention may be correct in the strict legul senso. As this Colony unfortunately possesses only a vague reflection of a something which is understood to stand for con- stitutional rights, and the Governor trepresenting the Crown) appears to have an aptitude for exercising the fallest privileges of the Crown, it would be well take steps to discover where the line in these days is to be drawn.
