We are not going to enter on the question ne to the advisability or the contrary of permitting any feeling of race to Enter into the discussion, but are merely concerned in the point of international law. There is we believe absolutely no precedent CO, for the claim that the subjects of one state, however friendly may be the relations between them, are entitled by the rules or practices of international law to settle down without special permission asked and obtained, in the territories of another even if unoccupied, much less to claim to supersede its settled inhabitants.

present stage of culture, when nations had their best interests in opening wide

their doors to the alien, old prejudices have been much relaxed, and alian residents are in the majority of cases even permitted to become owners of real- satate, without the necessity of becoming naturalised. The actuating motive is not bowever, any desire to raise a privilege into an international right, which no one nation bas as yet gone so far as to acknowledge, but one simply and entirely of the private advantage that may accrue to the nation granting the privilege. English and American residents in France and other continental states by the amount of money

they circulate add very considerably to the financial prosperity of the countries they select as their place of residence, and wa aro safe in believing that were the circumstances to alter, their residence' would not be looked

upon in the same favourable light, and many of these privileges would be cut off. In a caso of the sort neither England nor America would have any ground of con plaint. Now it seems that the same rule must prevail with regard to the United States and Canada vis-à-vis with Japan and China. It is for these countries themselves to decide on what terms they are prepared to receive alien residents, unless by treaty they have agreed otherwise. If Canada or the States are convinced that the admission of Chinese or Japnoe residents will be to their advantage restrictions will be in cked A. S.

A COMPLICATED CALL. Chan Tung Youk sued Li Pak, alias Lí Ki Tong and the Yik Lang Bank for $1,000 being money deposited with the defendants by the plaintif. Mr. E. J. Grist appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. G. E. Hall Brutton for Li Pak. There was a second motion by Laa Chu Pin against the same defendants for 3271.21 in which Mr. R. F. C. Master acted for the plaintiff.

His Honour remarked that he had refused an order to inue writ against Li Pak as

partner because he had already decided about a dozen actions in which he had held that he was a partner and Li Pak had not appealed sithongh he had had plenty of time in which to do so. Therefore he was not

Mr. Bratton explained that was because the plaintiffs had wrongfully obtained judgment and they wished to right matters.
