Complicated points of law were raised in a case before the Full Court in which the Shanghat liquidators 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,
