THE NLMORE MURDER-ABREST OF CRIPPEN,

Some time ago I reported that acting on orders received from Peking steps were to be taken to. improve the penal system of China. Under the present system the prisoners are entirely at the mercy of the prison officials; there is no system of inspection and there are wholesale abuses of justice. It is hard indeed for a man whose family cannot by bribing the gaolers mitigato his lot. As showing the torrible state of affairs existing in Chinese gaols-to-day-the-following from Ka Ying, Chow may prove interesting. A 'man being imprisoned, his sister every day used

and in a frenzy of rage he assaulted one of the warders. This was at once reported to the magistrate, who without making bay onquícies into the case ordered the unfortunate man to receive 200 strokes with the bamboo. This was done in such a severe manner that when it was over the poor fellow was nearly doud and his body lacerated in a fearful manner. It is more than a pity that the Government, now that China desires to pose as a civilised nation, dose not take strong measures to put an end to this terrible state of affairs. It is such incidents us there that show how far from true civilisation and enlightenment these people are, and however wach Chins may desire to come to the front and take an important place among the nations it is to be feared that until her internal affairs are in a better state little progress will be made.
