A typhoon which at one time was 'reported as likely to strike the Colony at any moment happily passed to the South- of Gap Rock, leaving Hong Kong unscathed. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carries a full report. !...

Complicated points of law were raised in a case before the Full Court in which the Shanghai Iquidators of the Russo-Asiatic Bank appealed against a Judgment in the Lower Court as to the distribution of surplus assets of a branch of the Bank in Hong Kong. The case was described by counsel for appellants as "unique" in law annals. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL includes a comprehensive report of the hearing.

"Reds" appear to be rather unusually active in Hong Kong, but their efforts have been confined to minor demonstrations. Reports of several incidents which were quashed by the timely intervention of the Police are included in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Home and local sports are dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL by a special staff, particular attention being paid to lawn bowls and tennis. Complete records of the various Leagues are reproduced.
