Chief Inspector Vaughan said he was in charge of the registration of German and Austro-Hungarian subjects resident in the Settlement at the Town Hall from September 21st to October 7th. The de- fendant, he believed, was a German and his name did not appear in the register..

The register was handed in to the Court.

That concluded the case for the prosces

tion.

The Assessor-Now, Sennecker, what have you to say

Senecker Not guilty. I have com- plied with the rules and regulations issued and promulgated by the Chinese Government.

To make his case a little more clear to the Court and counsel for the prosention, he said he would read an extract from the "Encyclopaedia Britannica." With this the defendant read a lengthy extract from that work and went on to say that China declared war on August 7th and whi becane, according to the usages and convictions, the representative of Ger. mans and Austro-ungarians. The local Chinese authority, he asserted, was His Excellency the Envoy for Foreign Affairs, He came the representative of both nationalities in the International Settle- ment of Shanghai. He alone had the power to issue notifications of this sort because they were in China and not in British territory. The Municipal Council was nothing but an administrative body, administering the funds they got from the taxpayers in a proper manner.

On September 21st, he wrote to the Council asking if registration with the Municipal Council would exempt him from registering with the Chinese autor. rities He received a reply from the Secretary to the Municipal Council to the effect that so far as residence in the Internationalement and entry into the Foreign Bettlement and passage upon any municipal road was concerned, the only form of registration to secure the neces sary permit was with the municipal authorities. The letter went on to state that registration with the Chinese autho

novertheless, there was no mistaking that something special was afoot. The Colony had the appearance of being on holiday, and, although the banks and comercial. houses were not closed until midday, it is probable that little business was done in the morning. With the distraction of a constent stream of gaily-clad ladies, making irresistible appeals to give in the sweet cause of charity, men in the offices could scarcely be expected to attend to the ordinary routine work of commerce, and very few of them made the attempt. The whole city was thoroughly canvassed. Of that there can be no possible doubt. No fewer than

With this the defendant asked the HeCourt to grant a remand for a fortnight in order that he could get counsel, This was a test case not concerning only the Germans and Austrians, but all nationalities, Chinese included, except the British. It was a matter that was going to have serious consequences in the future, are you must have it
