A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE,

After a three-day trial, a houseboy, native of Shanghai, was acquitted on a charge of the murder of another "boy" at No. 9, Felix Villas, in the early hours of December 13. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains a comprehensive account of the trial, together with the text of a forceful plea by counsel for the defence.

Interesting details of the forthcoming Census of the Colony, to be taken on March 7 next, are contained in the Census Bill, the gist of which is reproduced in the

··OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

A sensational seizure of opium by Revenue Officers was made aboard a launch proceeding from Macao to Hong Kong, The contraband amounted to 1,200 taels, and was concealed in the engine room. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives complete details.

At the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Hong Kong an interesting talk on the scope of anatomy, with particular reference to evolution, was given by Professor Shellshear of the Hong Kong University. A full report appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

A case with unusual features was heard at the Assizes, when a man was charged with participation in a robbery from a sampan woman two years ago. It was stated that the Chinese detective who effected the arrest had since been murdered. The case, and the man's eventual acquittal, is fully chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

An outstanding event of the social season was the visit to the Colony of Dame Clara Butt and Mr. Kennerly Rumford. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reproduces expert critiques of their song recitals.

Local sport is fully dealt with by the OVERLAND. CHINA MAIL staff of experts, special accounts being given of the Interport Rugby and Soccer trial matches.
