Overland China Mail. ́ ́

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

Phenomenal trade losses in the China market, parti- cularly in British piece goods, are indicated in the monthly trade report of the Statistical Branch of the Hong Kong Imports and Exports Department. The losses would appear to be due to competition from Japan, and the figures, which are given in full in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, make illuminating reading.

Dramatic evidence was given in her own defence by Mrs. Jesulna Maria Xavier, charged at the Assizes with wounding Mr. A. J. Manton, with intent to murder, on December 27 last. Mrs. Xuvier's plea that the shooting was accidental, and that she actually intended to take her own life, was accepted by the jury, and she was accordingly discharged. The case is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MÄIL.

Interesting questions relative to the jurisdiction of the Court in connection with piracy charges were raised during the hearing of charges against twelve Chinese, originally arraigned for piracy off Pedro Blanco. The jury found the men guilty on an amended indictment of assault by force of arms on the high seas, but the Chief Justice decided to defer judgment until the sitting of the Full Court. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reports the case in its entirety,

Several more ships were reported aground during the week, but in general they were got off without any serious damage. The cases are dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also features a report of a case in which a Portuguese was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for robbery with violence from a Japanese woman in Kowloon. Defendant's plea of intoxication was held by the Pulsne Judge to be no extenuation of his act.
