It appeared that about thras month ago a certain Peichou man of means and passed off ial renk was arrested on a ciril suit by the nccused magistrats, who daring the trial lost his tempur and, contrary to the fass which prohibits a man having ary kind of civil | official rank from being beaten, dealt out a
