They accepted large risks and by false representations, made it appear that the Company had a guaranteo fund of £70,000.

Ar the end of last year a fire occurred in the promises at Port Arthur and the insurance company or companies paid over $115,000. The plaintiffs were naturally interested in that Bum, and as they knew nothing about the working of the Port Arthur business they made inquiries from defendant as to what had become of the money. Well, they got no satisfactory answer and they could put Bort of get any accounts and so some friction arose. Finally it was arranged that the partnership should be dissolved on the promise that plaintiffs should carry on the Hongkong business and that do- fendant should take the Port Arthur branch. Then the question arose as to how-much defendant should pay for the Port Arthur business. They could not come to terms and a telegram was sont to the agent at Port Arthur asking him to state the full value of the business there,

thought he might as well dispose of the point at once, and say that it was a most dangerous thing to import a verbal agree- ment into documentary matters upon the unsupported evidence of one party. It was distinctly agreed that the term should be one month in which repayment should be The defondant denied that it was on the document that he signed, and stated that it was put in afterwards. It was rather an invidious thing for a Eur- opean to offer an opinion upon Chinese After handwriting, but he had to do it. examining the characters he was strongly of opinion that the alleged additions were in the same handwriting as the other por tion. The only way that he could explain the lightness of the ink in places was that the pen got empty at that particular mo- ment He would also like to remark that in the early part of the case the documents wore described by the defendant in his affidavit as promissory notes, and it was only later on that he found out that they were acknowledgments of indebtedness. There were two reasons why he could not conceive that these should be forgories. If the same man was going to make additions it seemed to him that he would have been a fool if he did not try to keep the writing closer, and if the time had been altered why was it not made payment on demand instead of a month bence? With regard to the telegram his opinion was that it was sent with the intention of stating that the assets were worth $37,300, and he had a strong suspicion that the letter was invented for the purpose of the Under the circumstances it present esse. seemed to him that he was bound to bo- lieve plaintiffs and not defendant, and he would therefore give judgment for plain-

HONGKONG, September 19.

SIR, The man in the street has much to

say about the present discontent, and especially in regard to the daily robberi a, with and without violence, which have be. come the most striking feature of life in Hongkong. He talks a great deal of non- sense, but underlying his irresponsible frivolity is a substratum of commonsenso criticism that may fairly be regarded as re- presentative of public opinion. Holding this view. I feel just fied in submitting a compilation of his utterances overheard during the last few days. He says-

That the prevalence of burlary and highway robbery in Hongkong is a disgrace to the Police Force.

That the inefficiency of the Police Force is a disgrace to the Government.

That methods appropriate to a civilised community are out of place when dealing

with the lower orders of the Chinese.

That H.E. the Governor is much to blame because of his attitude towards the Chinese.

That he pets thom.
