Judgmont was given by Mr. Justice Hareland at the Summary Court yester day in the case in which Mrs. Myrtle Nicholas, 4. Pedder's Hill, was sued by Kwan Yip Chi and Teung Che Sun, the alain amounting to 800, being for the rent of 3, Pedder's Hill from June 1st to June 30th.

Mr. J. H. Gardiner was for įslaintiffs and Mr. P. S. Dixon represented, do fendunt.

His lordship said: The "demeanour of all the witnesses called on behalf of the plaintiff was excellent, whereas the de meanour of the defendant wan of the very worst, about as bad as it could possibly be Patting myself in the position of a jury man, I am satisfied that the story put for. ward by the plaintiff is the true one.

I um satisfied that there was an agreement between the landlord and the defendant that she should take the floor ns from the 1st June at 680 a month. Judgment for the plaintiff with costs.

AT THE MAGISTRACY.

CHARGE OF MURDER.

A Chinese was brought before Mr. Wood a charge of murder. The deccused a man named Wong Sai, is said to have been attacked by the defendant, and stabbed in the abdomen. Wong Sai, although bleeding badly, grappled with big assailant, and-the man was arrested. Wong Sai died later in Hospital, his dying depositions being taken by the Magistrate. The case was remanded.

DAMAGE BY THIEVES ON A STEAMER.

Inspector Patrick O'Bullivan charged three men with the larceny of 30 lbs, of lead piping and 4lbs. of copper piping from the Norwegian steamer Ulv. It appears that the men, who were employed temporarily scraping paint on the vessel, cut the lead from the piping of the bilge pump, and rendered the pump anwork able, necessitating expensive repairs. The Magistrate sentenced the men to weeks' imprisonment and four hours stucka.

CANTON'S MARVELLOUS

RECOVERY.

MA A. E. Wood, of the Hongkong Government service-who-has-gone to the regently flooded region in connection with the relief work organised by the Tunz Wah Hospital Committer, has written to the Hon, Mr. S. B. C. Rosa, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, as follows:-

Rice sent to the Tang Wah Hospital representatives here is now stored in a godown at Fong Ts'un. The nine hundred bags which camo yesterday were the first to be so stored. Previously the rico was stored on junks. Delivery from the gotowa (or junk) is taken on production of a signed order from Mr. Li Yau-foun or deputy, and sent out for relief. Cf Tung Wah bags distributed to date, part of the distribution has been done through. tho Canton Relief Society, and part by our own mon personally.

"The first rith is over and things are beginning to work mere smoothly.

THE THREE DISTRIBUTING CENTRES. Canton. I am of opinion that Canton and district will very soon cease to need our help. The city itself has made its usual marvellous recovery; no one passing through the western suburbs won imagine what the sceno must have been like. There is only the high-water mark right feet up the walls, to show; other wise they are carrying on exactly the same as ever. The French vice-consul sells me he has visited the mulberry land between Canton, Tai Leung and Yung Kei and that not even the whole of one crop, out of the annual six or seven, is destroyed. It is clear that the most pressing needles up the North and West Rivera,

Smalt, the centre for the North-and-the Bamboo Rivers.-A. quantity of relief has been sent to Tsing Yun and district. Other places higher up are in a more doubtful Case, being difficult of access. Some atten- tion seems to have been paid to Sz Wal. I shall know better when I get to Ho Hau. As was to be expected, Samashui and neighbourhood have done pretty well for themselves; it is just the sort of place which attracts private relief and where there is, therefore, overlapping

Shiu Hing, the centre for the West. River,Tong Yat-chus and I leave this morning for Shiu Hing. We shall make it our business to see that the "inland and remoter places are attended to.

We had a meeting at the Canon Relief Society headquarters yesterday Mr. Tam Hok-hang dealt with the situation some length.
