The proceedings were under the | Hongkong " A," 136, spect, I nevertheless read with interest the words Chinese Extradition. Ordinance. Mr. Blade waa which Bishop Lauder addressed to the New Year | instructed by Mr. Otto Kong Sing, the Actipg| H.K.C.C., 229. meeting on Sunday night. He said that the Attorney-General (Hon. Mr. F. A. Hazeland), Hongkong climate was blamed for curtain effacts on health which were without doubt attributable to the habits and customs nequired here. These are not his actual words, but I think they convoy his mesning. It is an old, old story, but ever tras. Men are prone to indulgences hers which they would never bave at Home, and so are the ladios, ospasially some of those who are found with the bridge enthusiasts. It dawns on us, expecially at the New Year, that a return to the Simple Life would be advantageous, but I am afraid we are not courageous enough to withstand the remarka of our friends.
In a proceding paragraph I remarked that the Banitary Board had resumed business at the okl address. So it hoe. An innocent looking agenda on Tuesday produced gaitea full dress debats, and columns of oratorý had to be diagnosed over the matutinal hom and eggs. Dead distinctions, cr rather distinctions which are not yet dead, son- verning the dead, provided the topic for dispaa- 'sion, but the subjost, grave ss it was, was not without its humorous répests. There was the Registrar-General advising folks either to dis at son or get cremated, so as to help economise the Colony's burial space. There was the fluent Mr. Hewett stuck for a word-an event which must. give less practised speakers some little feeling of hope. And there was Mr. Hooper spising his remarks with. Latin phrases. It was indeed an inturéating occasion.
In a way one must ayin pathise with the disinclination to have snobbery, which is only too comunion in life, continued after death, All men are supposed to be equal in that state, though some have bigger monuments over them than others, but that more often represents money rattier than worth. At the same time, from what I can gather from the reported discussions, there seems to be in the words of the old Bootch proverb "mackle ery and little oo.":
If there is a mystery to be carefully concealed commend me to the Sanitary Board. They do it so nicely. The Hon. Mr. Hewalt and Mr.
Mr. Slado, continuing to address the Court on behalf of prisoner, said if the Crown had to prove the accusation-as they had-they must prove it by the best aridonca; they could not prove it by what was after all only secondary evidence. The accusation should be proved by a formal document equivalent to a warrant in England.
The Paiste Judge pointed out that the section in the Home Act requiring the production of a warrant was omitted from the local Ordinance.
Mr. Blade mid this was becanas a warrant 'The more was a document unknown in China. fact of omission should not canse the Court to interpret the interpretation section in a different way to that in which the same words were interpreted at Home. Obligation at was imposed by the interpretation
Homo section.
The Attorney-General, dealing with the point raised as to the production of a warrant, contended that the section of the Homs Act requiring this was designedly omitted. If the Legislature were of opinion that proof was required that the fugitive criminal accused in China, they would have inserted words to that effect in the Ordin- ance. It was not, he submitted, a condition

precedent that the fugitive criminal should be accused in any specific place. In fact, though. prisoner in this ease had been accused in China of armed robbery.

From the kick-off the Sappers tried to force ahead, but they were easily repulsed, Barlow sending the sphere out to Aitcheson, who was only beaten by Beardmore when within a few yards of goal. Jackson got the ball from a good save by Barber, and centred to Tayler, but he was no match for Barlow, and the lattar carried the ball into the soldiers' territory and toated Barber, but the shot was easily cleared.

Litigation has been very pronounced since the New Year. All the practising barristers in the Colony, with one exception, are engaged in one caso at present before the Supreme Court, a case which is expected to escapy four or five weeks, or perhaps longer, in hearing, and another array of counsel was found in the extradition one which came before the Fall Court, the Attorney-General and three bar- risters appearing in that.
Such a state of affairs and the fact that there -are enses which are not likely to receive a date forhearing for weeks yet, draws attention to the congestion in the law courts. The two judges are unable to deal with the accumulation of
·work which confronts them, and the necessity for a third judge is more apparent at prosent than it has been for a long time.

In the second half the home defence gave the. opposing forwards few chances, and play was cons sequently confined to the visitors' half of the field. Whitmarsh and Barlow each added a goal for their side, and the Club finished easy winners by four goals to nil. The score would certainly have been much heavier but for the untiring
efforts of the visiting defence, the best of which wore Beardmore, Cally and Smith,

Sir Henry Berkeley contended that the onus of proving himself not to be a Chinese subject within the jeopardy of the local Extradition Ordinance was on prisoner. The defence in this case was an alibi, that prisoner was cooking "chow" at the Hongkong Hotel at the time the crime was committed. It was, admitted that he was a Chinaman, and prisonór did zob come forward to say he was not a Chinarann. H.K.F.C. It never entered their heads to set up at the
