KING'S MESSAGE TO COLONIES
AND TO INDIA.
LONDON, September 9tdı.
4.30 p.m. The Official Press Bureau has given out for publication the following Message sent by His Majesty the King to the self-governing Dominions:-
"During the past few weeks the peoples of my whole Empire have moved with one find and purpose to confront and overthrow an unparalleled assault upon the continuity of Civilisation and the Feroe of mankind. The calamitous conflict is not of my seeking. My voice bas throughout been cast on the side of peace. My Ministors,earnestly strove to allay the causes of strife and to appease difference wherewith my Empire was not concerned. Had I stood aside when, in defiance of pledges whereto my kingdom was a party, the soil of Belgium was violated, her cities laid desolate, when the very life of the French nation was threatened with extinction, I should have sacrificed my honour and given over to destruction the liberties of my Empire and of mankind.
"I rejoice that every part of my Empire is with me in this decision. Paramount regard for treaty faith and the pledged word of ruler and peoples is the common heritage of Great Britain and the Empire. My peoples in the self-governing Dominions have shown beyond all doubt that they whole-heartedly endorse the grave decision which it was necessary to take. My personal knowledge of the loyalty and devotion of my Overseas Dominions had led me to expect that they would cheerfully make the grant efforts and bear the great sacrifices which the present conflict entails
"The full measure in which they have placed their services and resources at my disposal fills me with gratitude, and I am proud to be able to show to the world that my people overseas are as determined as the people of the United Kingdom to prosecute a just cause to a successful end.
"The Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia and Dominion of New Zealand have placed at my disposal their naval forces. which have already rendered good service for the Empire. Strong Expeditionary Forces are being prepared in Canada, Australia and New Zenland for service at the front, and the Union of South Africa has released all the British troops and undertaken important military responsibilities, the discharge of which will be of the utmost value to the Empire.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH, 1914.
Newfoundland has doubled the nurabers of its branch of the Royal Naval Reserve, and is sending a body of men to take part in the operations at the front. From the Dominion and Provincial Governments of Canada large and welcome gifts of supplies are on the way for the use of both my Naval and Military Forces, and for the relief of distress in the United Kingdom which must inevitably follow in the wake of the war. All parts. of my Overseas Dominions have thus demonstrated in the must:-. mistakable manner the fundamental unity of the Empire amidst all its diversity of situation and circumstance.
KING'S MESSAGE TO INDIA.
In his Address to the people of India the King says:--
Paramount regard for treaty faith and the pledged word of rulers and peoples is the common heritage of England and my peoples. Among the many incidents that have marked the unanimous uprising of the populations of my Empire in defence of its unity and integrity, nothing. has moved me more than the passionate devotion to my Throne expressed both by my Indian subjects and the Feudatory Princes and Ruling Chiefs of India, and their prodigal offers of their lives and their resources in the cause of the Realm. Their one voiced demand to be foremost in the con.. fliet bas touched my heart and inspired to the highest issues the love and devotion which, as I well know, have ever linked my Indian subjects and myself. I recall to mind India's gracious message to the British nation of goodwill and fellowship which greeted my return in February, 1912, after the solemn ceremony of my Coronation Durbar at Delhi, and I find in this hour of trial the full harvest and noble fulâlment of assurances given by you that the destinies of Great Britain and India are indissolubly linked."

The Crown Solicitor (Mr. P. M Hodgson) prosecuted, and Mr. Eldon Potter (instructed by Mr. W. E. L Shenton) defended.
There are two defondants to the present summons--Mr. F. P. Talati, resident in Bombay, and Mr. N. T. Vassung, his local manager in Hongkong. The facts are simple. The defendants occupy two goduwis in the Colony: (a) No. 0, Duddell Street and (E) Nos. 2 and 4 Matheson Street. In the second godown on the 20th August, there was discovered a quantity of loose Persian opium weighing 393 lbs. It appears that the defendants on the 22nd April received into their godown, No. 9, Duddell Street, 36 chests of Persian opium, which remained stored there under an official permit.
No other Fersian opium has been in their custody since that date These 38 cheats were inspected by Bevens Officer Wilden on the 6th June, Wid satisfied himself that they were then intact. Revenuto Officer Wilden next inspected these chests un the 21st August; the day following the discovery of loose opium in the Mathieson Street godown Two chests out of the thirty-eight found on this further inspection in Duddeli Street proved to contain “duinmy opium. On the 20th August, when the loose. Persian opium was seized, the Revenue Officer at the same time seized. two empty cases identical in marks and size with the two chests of "dummy opium found the following day at No. 9, Duddell Street,

His Worship then asked Mr. Hodgson if he desired to make any application. difficulty he was in at the moment, was in regard to the returning of the opium. Of course it was all loose, and defendants would be in possession of loose opium aguin (Laughter.)
The Crown Solicitor said the only
Mr. Potter-Wo will allow Inspector Wilden to store it in boxes for us before returning it. We have implicit trust in Inspector Wilden. We are sure he will put it all back again. (Laughter.)
The Crown Solicitor agreed to this course, but queried whether the defendant would not have to make application to the Superintendent of Imports and Exports for the return of the opium. He was not certain as to the power of the Court in this direction.
His Worship said the opium was in the care of the Court, and he had to make some order about it. I was for the Superintendent of Imports and Exports to take action on the order.

A telegram was received by the can Consulate General, Hongkong, from the Manila Olservatory at 12.55 p.m. yesterday reading:
In most cases under the Your Whole Mouth Opium Ordinance this question is not acutely in isstic. Where the accused in obviously ignorant that the illicit opium is in his possession, it is usual for the charge to be withdrawn. Evidence of
guilty knowledge is generally forth coming. But in the present summons, the question has to be faced. There is some thing to be said for the view contrary to the one here accepted, but the conclusion here adopted is that guilty knowledge is necessary, in order to constitute the offence alleged. I hope that if aggrieved by this decision the Crown will test the matter further on appeal or will move the legislature to set doubts at rest by amending the Ordinance: The learned counsel for the defendants has throughout adopted the view that "guilty
