He pleaded not guilty, and was defended by Mr. Beavis of Mosers, Wilkinson & Grist, solisitors; the defendant was represented by Mr. F. B. Donen, of Messrs. Descon - Hastings, solicitors.

Evidence was led to the effect that two excies of cars saw the boxes of upium being conveyed along the street and asked the coolio in charge of the conveyance for bis pormit for removal. The coolie had no parmit, so the goods were arrested and taken to the Police Station.

It should be noticed that the municipality has no oiker powers beyond that of fraiming byo-laws and keeping order, The territory which has been set aside for the use of foreigners has not bean ceded to the foreign Powers; far less has it bean coded to the municipality. Legally the manicipality is no more a sovereign body in Shanghai as against the Chinese Government than is the lowp council of an English town us against the British Crown; and there is no agreement by whith the Chinese Government has given the municipality the right to protect its Chinese residents from the control and jaris- diction of the ordinary Chinese courts. The laud that was not spart for the foreignere at Bhanghai was intended to be set apart for their age ouly; and this rule was at first vigorously enforced. Had it been maintained the question" new at issue would never have arisen, and many of the very real present diflenities on the residence of foreigners in China would have been avoided. But in 1854 hosts of Chinese fled into the foreigų settlement for safety during the Taiping rebellion, the foreigners soon found that thoir prośouco added to the value of their land by increasing the demand, and the rule was tacitly allowed to drop, with the result that there are now considerably over one bandred
