Charge Against Chinese Pressman --

At the Criminal Sessions this morning bodery Sir. William Rees Davies, E.C.,. Chief Justice, Chan Chang Shan, a mem bor of thy staff of the Chinese newspaper "Shat Fo," published in the city, was Indicted for publishing on August 14.Inat in his newspaper matter likely to incite people to disorder in China.

The Attorney-General, Hon. Mr. J. A. S. Bucksill, K.C., prosecuted for the Crown upon the instruction of the Crowa Solicitor, Mr. P. M. Hodgson; and Mr. P. C. Joskin, instructed by Mr. F. I. D'Almada e Castro, dafended. The fol lowing jury ** sworn: fears.. F.: Tester (foriran). A. W. Smith, J. Niel- aon. F. J. Steinhoff, A. O. Baradas, J. B. Gutierrez, and E. E. Gutierrez. Mr. J. Slephart was called, but wa axcused from attendance till Wednesday on the ground that being employed in shipping office his services were argently reqüined to get of a ship which is sailing to.merror.

▾

Addressing the jury on behalf of the Crown, the Attorney-General expressed his belief in the liberty of the Press, but said there were limits beyond which it should not go, especially in a colony like this, closely situated as it was to a country which had passed through many vicissitudes With the view to sacerais. ing control over newspapers and other publications a law, which was not, fami liar to persons not engaged in pos paper work in Hongkong. The Attorney. General read to the jury the Ordinance referred to. No. 15 of 1907, the object d which was "To prevent the publication in the Colony of matter ealculated to disturb the peace in China," by prohibit ing the publication of such matter cal. culated to encite dissension,

The accused mau, the Attorney-General Dontinued, at the time the article com plained of appeared in the

Shab Po,"

on August 14, was in charge of that paper; that would be conclusively proved by the evidence. A translation of the article, which we directed against Yuan- Shih Kai (whom the writer called s brigand) and against all his followers, was rand to the jury, who were also sup plied with copies of it. In praise of the Press, the Attorney-Gonored asid he would state that this was the first time it had been found necessary to put this somewhat unusual law lato forte. Ho pointed out that the article not only mado a personal attack upon the Pro sident, but also attempted to enlich sup.- port for the second Bevolution, which had just been subdued, and written at

a very critical time, was likely to Incits tumult. I was wrong that a person in this Colony of State" whose relations to China were so friendly should, print such scurrilous stuff, which was likely to be read by hundreds of ignorat Chi nema, in the Colday and neighbouring Chinese territory, raising false hopes, and idose of revolution.

Mr. Jenkin raised objection to the. procedure of the prosecution under the form of indictment. Ha contended that it was really a prosecution for seditious libel, and that being so the Attorney. General should have first obtained his Lordship's leave in Chambers to proceed. His Lordship pointed out that the pro- sendings were taken under specs: Ordinance. No. 15 of 1907. I the indict meat bad been laid under the law of 1997 the objection would have held good." After some further argament his Lord." ship, over-ruled Mr. Jenkins' objection, adding that he was not prepared to ssy that the article forming the basis of the charge was not libellous all the same.

The evidenco gives at the Magistracy - was then called.

Mr. Jenkin, opening the cass for the de- fance, submitted that the publication of the article was no offence: that it was not. calculated to incite tamult; and that it. did not constitutes libel. He would prove that the accused was a reporter, and rus editor or publi ber of the Shat, Po.. With regard to the other pain, he's asked

the jury's opinion as to what damage could have been done by an article of; this sort having regard to the fact that certain the Southern provinces of China wers in a stateafreit-revelfingagainst the Central Government. It did not follow in s nasty like China that any person revolting, was to the wrong. He thought that if the, jury road the article fairly, hearing. In mind that certain of the penelases did not like the existing order of this wand had decided to stack the ovari iment-ja military form, they whu'd now that there was no megation of a plot in it, The article suppted the revolt; it did not bring it about. At the time it was written there was already altand der and therefore the writer of an article of this sort in the cicost me not at- tempting to bring about disorder; it simply said that this military disorder was going to succeed, and gave the reasons for this opinion. In an aron which was flcted by: selt it was, inevitable that one section of the 1'e should write in the term of this article. One answer to this was that Hook- kong was not in the disturbed res. That ∙was an answer of a kind, bat he had⋅ no doubt that, at had heen said, the paper circalated in thing but he aid not a porothers, was snything" roady know or that any of them would in this paper which its readers did not be affected at al" by reading it, became they were already in the state which the Attorney General har impresed upon the Spefuls
