Apowan tried to put an end to his life.

Port Arthur is notoriously full of scurry.. dysentery and small-pox, to say nothing of typhold, and the throwing down of a mass of disease of this chameter in the midst of our Settlement, in the present condition of public health, is only inviting disaster.

By the Attorney-General-The prisoner was specially asked by me whether he wished to cross-examine, and ho did not.

Mr. N. Forrors-Were the depositions read; and translated to the prisoner before he made Lis statement?

Mr. N. Ferrers-There is another subsequent case which would lead one to suppose that the man was insane.

The statement was read out; it was as follows:-Apowan went into Dango Sang's bad, and I saw him leave. The day after he said "You will not go back to Sumok (home)." was very much ufraid. I could not sleep Apowan said to me it would be better for me to die first. "If you are not dead you will tell the Amoricane." I did net slurp for five nights, nor did Apowen.

It is rather important for me to tell you where these people were. Here is a rough diagram which was produced atthe Magistracy. This fuan Apowan was in the corner bank on the left-hand side.

The Attorney-Gaueral said that the Crown did not desire to unreasonably press the case against the prisoner, but he submitted that it was not a case of manslaughter. It was as deliberately committed as could be, for reasons of jealousy not an unusual motive, in crimes. The prisoner had been determined to commit the murder for five days. At the expiration of this time Apowan fell asleep, and that was the first opportunity he bad of committing the crime.

PROPOSED NEW SUEZ CANAL.

SIK THEODORE ANGIER'S SUGGESTIONS,

A project is on foot for the cutting of a second caual through the Isthmus of Suez. This is entirely owing to the long-standing dispute as to dues and charges between the Suez Cans Company and the shipowners who use that waterway. The project has been suggested several times before, and now in reiterated, with every appearance of earnestness, by Sir Thee doro V. S. Angier, head of the firm of Angier Brothers, and a prominent member of the Lou- don Chamber of Shipping

Sir Theodore Anier states that, in consequence of the refusal of the Suez Canal authorities to entertain the demands of the shipowners, he and several others bure mastored plans to cut a second canal through the Isthmus of Suez, which have gone so far as to enable him to say that a cor- to finance and carry out the new undertaking. tractor, familiar with work in Egypt, is ready Before going into the details of this some- what striking attempt to compel the Suez Cansi

Sir Theodore added that plans were practi tieally ready, and that the scheme would be amply backed unless the Caual Company were prepared to make concessions.

"At last the British shipowers, to endo certain regulations--for that is a point which is not denied-built the superstructures, at which the Company winked, bat by degrees these increase and increased, until at last we have had to take notice of them and inform the Board of Trade that the old measurements will no longer serve, and that unless they recognise these infringements we cannot accept their certificates. The Board of Trude thought they were more powerful than they were, and it was not till quite lately that they have realised ht we have the power to refuse their certificates. We are simply going to enforce our regula- tions."

Mr. N. Ferrers-All right, my Lord. Mr. N. Ferrers in addressing the Jury said his duty was to defend a man who did not mem to care to take the tremblo to defend himself.

Thompson said. He had him under observation and had conversations with him so as to form an opinion as to whether, at the time he committed the offence, he was in his senses. The Doctor was of opinion that the man was not insane, but madly jealous, and that is not a madness which reduces the crime to one of manslaughter except in the ease of a husband who finds his wife in the act of adultery, and then it wast have been done immediately.

the best authority for saying that any private enterprise of the kind is not likely to secure the support of the Egyptian or the British Govern- ment. In the first place, a concession would to be obtained from the Egyptian authorities, who while they have no immediate hare interest in the profits of the Suez Canal, become in less than seventy years, its proprietor. It is also quite certain that the British Government will not interfera to force an undertaking of such magnitude upon the Government of the Khedive. Hence it will be practically impossible for the dissatisfied shipowners, how- ever great the capital at their disposal, to sounce

depositions made at the Police Court.

Mr. N. Ferrers objected, `

The Attorney-General quoted authority. Mr. N. Ferrors raised an objection on the ground that, according to the depositions, there had been an error in administering the outh. This discrepancy, however, was a mistake in the copy, but did not appear in the original depositions written by Mr. Gompertz.

Mr. N. Ferrers, again referring to the deposi tions--I must object, My Lord, on the ground that though it is stated that there has been cross-examination, this does not appear in the depositious-they are not complete.

His Lordship-The cross-examination is not given; I cannot admit incomplete evidence. If I admit these depositions improperly all this trial will be null and void. Bend for Mr. Gompertz.

The Chinese lighterman roferred to by the Attorney-General gave evidence,

He quoted authority,

His Lordship There is an interpreter and I have no doubt that he is efficient.

Mr. N. Forters-There are two, and I do not think you can be satisfied with the efficiency of both of them together.
