HONGKONG JOTTINGS. Considerable progress has been made with the building of the now Law Courts, which are certainly much needed, but new Courts for the magistrutes I consider to be a question of orsi greater urgency, though I am not aware that the Government has even considerail the need up to the present. Anyone who is acquainted with these Courts will readily understand how it is that one sees Bot infrequently in the new papers the paragraph that one or other of the

pugistrates has been indisposed and unable to attend the Coust. I venture to say that in no office in the Colony de Europeans work under conditions se detrimental to their health as do the magistrates in their Courts. Still I think the magistrates arṛ themselves to blame to some extent. In the larger of the two Courts for instance I have counted as many as thirty-fire prisoners squatting in the dock, wedged as Fightly as sardines in a box, the filthy prisoner | cheek by jowl with the clean.
