E. Clarko of the B.3. fengshan, the late proprietor of the Hotel, for its purchase. The sum of $10,0 0 was tuned as the price at which the owner would part with the property. It should be stated that the law in operation in the Colony relating to leasehold estate specifically provides that no proporty shall be alienatod to the representatives of any foreign Power or to any corporate body without the same tion of the local fovenmaat having heon first obtained.

His Lordship asked if the prisoner had any thing any why sentenso should not be passed upon him. The reply, given with outstretched hands, was that if he were a guilty man, why was not he arrested at the time? All the its for the defence were in favour of Madema de Zarza and ho was at their merer If the jury said he was guilty, what could ho do ?
