LONDON, August 17.

In the House of Commons, questions were asked whether in view of the example of France, Japan, and the United States. Britain would divert future Boxer indemnity payments to Chinese education. Mr. Cecil Harmsworth, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, said that the question was being very carefully considered but emphasised that it was difficult in view of the urgency of national economy. It was proposed to appoint a committee to deal with the subject soon.

Now under section 76 of the Magistrate's Ordinance, which must be read with section 10 of the Extradition Ordinance, before committing the Magistrate most satisfy himself either that the evidence as a whole is sufficient to put the accused upon his or her trial, or that it raises a strong or probable presumption of guilt. As to the first of these alternatives,

it was laid down in the finding of the Full Court in the case of Hung Stu. (Hongkong Law Reports, vol X at-page 119) that the Magistrate should commit if he finds that there is evidence on which reasonable men might convict, I do so not so find. As regards the second alternative, the evidence has not, in my opinion, raised any strong pe, probable pre sumption of the fugitive's guill She must therefore be discharged.

A fowl's neck would be cut into its trunk and thrown some distance and the direction in which it pointed was the direction they went for the next dacolty.
