Depot, apposzed to answer a charge "preferred by sricsbs coolin of recklessly driving s motor car la Wong Net Cheong Road on the 18th inst, and another put forward by

Mr. Swart, of Mesars Bohuldt and Co, for driving in a farlone manner to the danger of the public. Mr. E.J. Grist appeared for defendant, who preferred counter charges against Mr. Swart for sisult and using threatening language.

The case was part beard before and the eridence taken on that occasion was read. Mr. Grist crore examined the riosha epolis whene vehicle was struck by the motor car: He said

that he did not notice the ear before it was on bim. ffa heard the horn sonnded. His rioshe

was stationary at the side of the road sad lo was in the shafts. The people were learing the cemetery,

And you were in the act of taking your riosha to your fare P-No. I did not see my fare,

By Mr. Swart He was not charged with similar offence before. Last year he accidentally

killed a man.

Mir, Swart-Why didn't he pull up before he was among the crowd?

Mr. Grist-Ha has a right to the road. Mr. Swart-So has the richs coolie. His Worship-Just 80.

Mr. Swart-I am no lawyer. Pardon me if

I go too far.

י

Mr. Grist-He has a right to expect that the rowd will get out of his way.

Mr, Swart--Damn it! He has no right. I beg pardon.

Defendant, ju daswer to questions put by his Worship, said he promised to give the coolie compensation.

His Worship-I think you ought to pay him. Has he refused compensation, from you?

Defendant-No.

His Worship dismissed, the summons for furious driving, but found the charge of driving Mr. Swartintervened-Let the witnes speak in a negligoat maaner-prosed

His Worship-All right, Mr. Swart Witness added that he wanted compensatio n. Mr. Swart then gave evidence. His state- monte at the last bearing having been read,

Mr. Grist proceeded to cross-examine him. You had only just come out of the commetery?

What then I heard an awful crseb.

Mr Grist—I skall ask your Worship to state

His Worship-State a case here and now! Mr Grist-No,

His Worship-You will have to go through the usual preliminaries.

Mr. Grist-Yen.

His Worship-I shall have to impose a fine of $5 or 14 days. Defendant will also have to

When the motor was stopped it was facing the course?—Yes.

Right across the road-Sho nearly turned turtle amongst the rioshas,

That was in her endeavour to pull up ?-Holy Moses! Why didn't abe turn up before?

His Worship-Don't argue.

The evidenos of Mr. O. Wagner taken at the bat hearing was read. He said he was jammed between the riosha, the wall and the motor The driver did not apologize.

Mr. Swart did not call farther evidence, bis Worship having remarked that he had a case if the ovidence held:

Mr. Griat submitted that there was no casp. The law was that if the driver took all reasonable precautions to avoid a collision po blame could attach to the driver. If the driver gawa man in the road and he sounded his horn sad the man refused to get out of the way he would be responsible for any accident that happened to him as the driver had taken oll reasonable precautious.

His Worship' disagreed with this wondering of the law. ¿

Mr. Grist coatonded that the driver had the right to go on. It was the duty of the man to get out of the way. If his Worship wis not in accord with that view be would ask him to state a case. It was admitted that this man. had done everything to aroid a collision-

The counter obarges against Mr. Ewart ware heard,

Mr. Swart-Perhaps I did so after he put his dirty hands on my white alothes. I told him I would make him pay for it.

Mr. C. P. Waite, mechanical engineer, who was riding in the car, at the time of the ooour rence, averred that defendant need very bad language to Mr. Marleen and himself.

Mr. Grist-And in ning threatening language. He is not charged with assault and battery.

The SUCENTARY having read the notice calling the meeting,

The CHAIRMAN asid Gentlemen: The raport and tocounts having been in your hands

been carried on most secretly by the diferent classes of merchants here. It appeare to be well organised and the measures adopted are far more stringent than those taken against the Americans as very revere fines are known to have besu im posed on those who have broken the regulatione of the Boycott Union. Meetings are held with great privacy. Reports of meetings have been sessionally, published" but they appear In the foria of ancouraging the protection of native commerce and industry and nothing is mentioned in the direst sense of boycott

On the 20th instant the members of the Canton Bas Delionoies Guild called a genersi meeting for the purposs of passing a resolution to urge the other guilds to be more vigilant, and sincere in enforcing the boycott regulations as it has been brought to the notice of the guild that some merchants of the other guilds have been dealing openly in foreign goods (Japanese). The resolution was put by the Chairman and passed. Notice to the above efect was on the some day sent round to all the other guilds.

One of the merchants of the Sea Delicacion Guild for dealing in foreign merchandise Guild who was recently heavily fined by the

immediately stood up and, in reply to the Chairman's remarks said, "I do not see why merchants of other guilds who deel in foreign goods are permitted to break the roles and are not punished, while my humble shop which happened to sell only a small quantity of foreign goods was fined several hundreds of dollars. I demand that the fine you imposed on me be immediately returned to me.

The Chairman replied-You know that we have taken theas measures of retaliation ou behelf of the whole country of Chins, and if we do not punish those who break the rules in our own guild bow can you expect us to pat pressare on the other guilds? If you could prove to us that any merchant is dealing clan destinely in foreign merchandise, no matter what guild that merchant may belong to, wa will see that he is punished according to the regulations. As regards the return of your fine. we will do nothing of the sort.

for some time, I will, with your permission, take them as read. As a result of the working for the half year ending on 30th June last we have available for appropriation a suns of $705,270.19 out of which your Directors recom. mend that a dividend of 9 per maat.--- por share be paid, absorbing $200,000; ant further sum of $50,000 be placed to the ordit of No. 1 Dock Extension account, that $65,820 be written off the value of Kowicon Dock; $4,602,95 off the value of Cosmopolitan Dock; and that the balance of $334,817,24 be carried forward to a new account. It is hoped that this proposed distribation of profia will meet with-your- approval. The past half year's work showing a net profit of $274,577.69 will not, I venture posatisfactory to think, be regarded as in face of the extraordinary depression that existed, and I regret to say still exists in ship ping the world over. This depresion is brought forcibly to our notice by the number of reseals that have been laid up in this harbour during the past year for want of lucrative em- ployment, and you will readily understand, re-acte seriously on the business, of a company such as ours. Further, in view of the fact that a certain proportion of the work executed during the period has been "Now Work," the profits on which, as pointed out on a previous occasion, are necessarily small orlag to keep competition, we may perhaps congratulate ourselves on the reault now shown. The aggregate tonnage of vessels docked during the period under review is less than for some years past, there being a falling off under the heading of Merobeat Shipping, and un incresse under that of British and Foreign mon-of-war, Turning to the accounts, you will notice that the amount under the bending of sundry only deserved monetary punishment bat even oreditors above a decrease of about $247,999 the parishment of death was inadequate to the and the item sundry debtors is lower byerime $214,000, while the value of material on hand shows a reduction of $227,000. This is partly due to a revision in the system of ordering material, showing the different establishments to drag on one nasther more freely and using up old stook. The Sub-Committee of Directors have concluded their investigations and have submitted their roport to the full Board and it is reasonable to hope that beneficial resuits will acorns from their recommendations. You tre doubtless aware that the recent distraus typhoon has put a considerable amount of Work into our hands-30 very extensive repairs--but qeming as it has done all st

On the following day the Piece Goods Guild one time, the resources of our establishments immediately took steps to make stringent and services of the staff are taxed to the inquiries as to whether any of the merchants of utmost, particularly as a scarcity of labour is their guild were dealing in foreign goods.

Gentlemen: I do not know that I can add anything to what I have said, except to say that the prospects for the current half year, with the work we have already in hand, are favourable, and before moving the adoption of the report and accounts I shall be pleased to answer any questions that abareholders may wish to ask.

ACTION AGAINST A CANTON FIRM

Mr. Kapteyn, of the Holland China Trading Company, declared that Mr. Swart said if no-gratulated in the acquisition of what will I the delinquents very heavily body was going to take the matter in hand he would. Marican wanted to go away bat Mr. Swart would not let him. Witness did not hear defendant call Marionn a blackguard, he wight have called him a žicol,

His Worship said the circumstances justided a reasonable amount of indiguation. He would not impose any penalty but he would record a conviction against Mr. Swart for bad language.

The parties then left the court.

A. TYPHOON NEAR SHANGHAI.

The good fortune that frequently favours Shangbai in regard to typhoons did not altogether desert us yesterday, says the N.-C. Daily News of the 19th inst. for although the wind blow at gale force for the greater part of the day, the typhoon centre had sgain been deflected and passed well to the westward of the Settlement. Early in the afternoon the Sion voi Observatory announced that the typhoon which has been anxiously followed, for some days in its course in a northwesterly direction across the Pacille had reached the coast to the South of Ningpo and would strike the Yangtza Tallay between Chinking and Wahu. Its worst effects were folt at Shanghai about 5 pm. when the gale seemed at its fierbest and a sharp downpour occurred. Throughout the evening a strong wind continued to blow, but there is every indication that the typhoon hag now passed Shangbai,
