Provincial Assemblies have come into existence to serve as training schools for the Imperial Chinesa Parliament which is to be establish- ed in 1917. It is no longer possible to argue from the past what the future will be in China. It is manifest to everyone that the next fifty years in China will be a period of great and far-reaching reforms. Tremendous changes must follow in China from the educational refóring which were instituted a few years ago, when Chinese theories of education were discarded in the

Mr. Slade in acting for plaintiffs and Bix Henry Berkeley, K.C., and Mr. Bldon Potter appear for defendants.

His Lordship said he understood that Me. Slade was suffering from a severe cold which prevented him from conducting the case. With the consent of the other side he proposed that the case should staud over until to-morrow (Friday).

Sir. Henry Barkeley consented and suid he regretted his friend'a índiaposition, which made - it impossible for him to go to the jury that day. He would suggest for the convenience of the jury that they be empanelled and the others could go away. It would be a serious inconveni- one if they were to be brought to Court again next day.

His Lordship miil there were reasons which made it better that the jury be called next day.

The Court then adjourned till to-day.
