-miless he has been proved to be guilty- of the offence charged against him by Li Loi.

We think it hardly necessary to ask his brutney to pay. Such thing has been done what the Magistrate before when the prisoners were brought has done is this: he has made an enquiry.

ON 11 Liceu, the Magistrate has made an investigation into the case of Leory, a turbut he has expressed in terms capable of mistake and of an interpretation that he considers the charge brought forward by Li Loi to be fake from beginning to end and he has simply committed the prisoner to gaol because, reading his instructions from the Government, he has no right to enquire into the guilt of the accused; all he can do is to register the statements made declaration before him.

We do not intend to point out all the contradictions and falsehoods contained in the depositions taken before the Magistrate, as we should be repeating what Dermy has already pointed out to the Magistrate, but with reference to the statement of Li Sui, the cook, we would call attention to the fact that he did not in any way implicate the 1st or 3rd prisoners, who at the time of his examination were the only two represented by Solicitors - Woo and Chuk.
