But then arson is, at all times and under the most favourable circumstances, one of the most difficult crimes to prove, and that coupled with local circumstances bas given the Chi- nese incendiary almost absolute im- munity from detection and punishment. It was thought the Fire Enquiry Or- dizance would be a deterrent, bai, uo- SUNDAY, June 7

The
case just tried by Chief Justice Carrington and an intelligent Special Jury revealed one of the most barefaced astempts to da- fraud the Insurance Companies concern- ed that has yet come under our ob servation, and the conviction of the two partners and their condigo punishment will, we hope, bare a good effect on those Chinese who have a predisposition to incendiarism. The arrangements for setting fire to the house bad evidently beeu deliberately planned, and ouly a slight miscalculation on the part of the guilty persons prevented what might have been a disastrous conflagration.
