REMINISCENCES OF A NOTED. JUDGE.
Honry Hawkins, Baron Brampton --a dis tinguished English Judge now retired ("Angiy Orkius" !), and as an advocate the
"most famous cross-examiner of bis gene- ration-publishes the Reminiscences of his long life (Lond., Arnold; two vols., 30s, net). The book takes instant rank as one of the best collections of legal gossip and suecdote extant. Hawking had wit and humour and an open mind; he mated with some of the best intellects of his time; and the culling of his momory could not fail to be choice. Three-fourths of the work scarcely to be bettered the remainder of personalia about the Judge and his dog may be forgiven to an old man failing in hi vision of the past:
Bro
Hankins resents the imputation of un-- due severity that formerly attached to his judicial sentences, and is at pains to prove -and in this book does prove--the validity of his attitude. Society, in my opinion,' he says, should be protected from mur- derers, But in order to be compassionate to criminals by misfortune he strained the law that he might do justice with mercy. The work is made more valuable by inclu sion of opinions that represent an expe- rience scarcely equalled. Hawkins would 1376 retain the death sentence for wilful mor- der, but he would abolish flogging and In my opinion they do not

A story of Mr Justice Maule. A man was charged with murdering his wife. The defence pled insanity, and called a village clergyman, who said that accused had regularly attended church for thitry-four years. Suddenly, without any apparent cause, the man became a Sabbath breaker, and absented himself from church. Maule unde a calculation. Then you have de- livered to this unhappy man a grand total of five thousand three hundred and four ser mons, discourses or homilies! Maulo's eyes were now riveted on the clergyman as though he were an accessory to the murder. "Did the ides ever strike you when you talked of this unhappy being suddenly leaving you ministration and turning Sab- hath breaker, that after thirty-four years he might want a little change? Would it not be reasonable to suppose that the mau might think he had enough of it!?"

Hawkins worked Maule's quary, and took the other view of the man's religious sufferings, so that he persuaded the jury. that no man's mind could stand the ordeal, Ho clinched his case by having prisoner's two little children in court," "drossed in

At dinner that evening Hawkins met an old inhabitant of the village where the murder had been committed. You made a touching speech, Mr Hawkins,' said the old inhabitant; but I don't think you would have painted the distressed home in such glowing colours if you had seen what I saw last week whon driving past. The little children who sobbed so violently in court this morning, and to whom you made such pathetic référence, were playing on an ash-heap near their cottage; and they had a poor cat with a string round its neck, swinging backwards and forwards, and as they did so they sang:
This is the way poor daddy will go This is the way poor daddy will go !' Such, Mr Hawkins, was their excessive
griof!!
"Yes,' comments Hawking,” “but it got the verdict.'
Hawkins says of Mr Justice Graham that he was so very polite that when he sentenced a batch of prisoners to death he did it in a manner that might make any. one suppose, if ha did not know the facts. that they had been awarded prizes for good conduct. At the Old Bailoy he was passing sentence of death on sixteen persons and omitted one name. The prisoners left the dock. The gaoler drew attention to the omission,
What is the prisoner's name?" asked Graham.

"Oh, bring John Robins back--by all means let John Robins step forward.. I am obliged to you.".

The culprit was once more placed at the Bar, and Graham, addressing him in his sin- galarly courteous manner, said apologeti- cally

This singular Judge, adds Hawkins, was- ever complaining and fretting over the dis- appointments of life. He was dissatisfied with his position and worried about trifles. The weather was a source of great anno- yance to him. He said, if he had been Game of those ephemered insects who live only a day, he would have been brought into the world on a rect one.'
Of another judge. Baron Martin, who was not poetical and fond of the turf, Haw kins says that when a beautiful landscape was pointed out to him by some proprietor of a lordly estate, he would say, 'You, a verra fine place indeed; and I would have the winning-post there!'

One of my patients, when I was asking him about his relations, told me he had married the devil's daughter. She was a nice girl enough,' he said, and although my people thought I had married beneath me, I was satisfied with her rank, seeing she was a Prince's daughter. We went of on our honeymoon in a chariot of tire which her father lent us for the occasion, and had a comfortable time of it at Monte Carlo, where all the hotels are under her father's special patronage.'

CAPTURED.
THE ISLAND INVADED.
Incidents of the Night.
(BY OUR SPECIAL WAR CORRESPONDENTS.") If over any of Great Britain's possible enemies take it into their heads to invade Hongkong-which, in such a contingency, is sure to be dubbed another Gibraltar of the East- they should select a night such as that which has just passed. I give this Ilttle bit of information on the offchance that it will not be regarded as a military Becret--for anything in that direction I am unable to give.
First of all the night was too rainy, and foggy, and cold to discover any, and second of all military secrets are generally so olecure that it is impossible for the moro layman to make head or tail out of them even if he has all the facts at his command.
A heavy pall hung over the island from the early evening, and, as the night wore on, the darkness became so donse that it could have been felt by anyone whose fingers were not too numbed by the cold to respond to the will of the spirit. Muis- ture dripped from the clothing of those who were on the alert for invaders, and the chill of the wind was so intenso that it was almost impossible to slip a CAT- tridge into the rifle when such action was
necessary.
However, the defenders on the heights stared out into the fog gutaely. They did not lose their heads over what they saw. Their range of vision was limited to a few fest-and it was utterly impossible for them to see anything. Consequently they cannot be blamed for fot seeing the invaders when they landed.
Most people are aware that this attempt upon the island was made so that General Slade could have an opportunity of judg« ing of our efficiency, and a maticeuvre was arranged in which a naval force consisting of the "Hogue," "Astrava." "Iphigenia," and “Andromeda," four torpedo brat do... stroyers and two torpedo-boats should at tempt to land troops and capture the island. On board the cruisers were a thousand Indian troops, and the naval force was commanded by Vice Admiral Sir Gerard H. Noel, who had the ** Alacrity" as flag ship. All the vessels left the harbour early in the day for what any Japanese Admiral would call a certain place, and after night fall they bore down upon the island with all lights out to commence the
invasion..
i
In fact the ruse by which the invaders secured admittance to the fort was a clover one. The picket was surrounded and captured, and they were forced to give the countersign to their conquerors, The commandent then boldly advanced on the fort, and, when challenged, gave the countersign and was admitted. He prom ptly switched off the electric lights, and his mon attacked the fort.

the Indian troops were marched to the ferries to be conveyed to Kowloon. The other troops proceeded back to barracks during the morning.
It was a cold experience, even for the war correspondents, and it is not surprising that the men who wore supposed to be on tho alert all night were glad to be homeward bound. Many of them were wet through,
And all were chilled to the bone. The
Indian troops, with their head covering on, did not seem to be any the worse for their outing, and appeared to stand the cold re- markably well.
The forts about Lycemun ind very little work to do. They were in rather a pickle owing to the mist that hung over the water, but they successfully detected a torpedo-boat destroyer attempting to rush. the harbour entrance, and sank her. After that I believe there was little for them to do. The invaders knew too much to waste many ships in an endeavour to glide There was no bombardment from the through the narrow entrance.

to leave well alone and tackle the more in- vulnerable western entrance.
The batteries on Stonecutter'e had some fighting to do, and the Volunteer Engineers who were manning the search lights discovered a torpedo boat destroyer endeavouring to force a passage into the harbour. She first of all carried her mast head lights but when fired upon retired. She later put her headlight out, and made an- other attempt to enter but was again dis- covered and subjected to heavy fire Subsequently she was seen to the rear of Stonecutter's, wheresa was quickly placed out of action. Other tarpeloers were also discovered flitting about and it is reckoned that two or three were ŝunk.
