It may interest you and perhaps many others, to lear, that Dr. Morrison in his later years retracted all he had said in his book, against Missions and Mission- Wharf.

The defence contends that he was not so justified arguing that the complaia- ant's duties were merels, to keep a louknade in a letter published in the CONSIGNEES per Compan out for persons coming out of the Post Offer and to direct them to the Octroi affire, and that his authority did not ex- tud beyond these functions. The de fence submits accordingly that, defendant having refused or neglected to proceed as directed to the Octroi office for exquin tion of the parcel anal' gasessment of duty, the complainant nuust erpt his refusal and ein only rely for redress on a complaint to the defendant's authors- ties,

I am satisfied that the complainant was entitled to 9p ploy reasonable enerçive measures to frus- trate such a contingency.

Again it must be barne in mind that the defendant admitted receiving in the Post Office a printed native in English calling upon him to take his paren to the Octroi offier for examination and pay- ment of luty, and his statement that ha believed it to be in Chinese and so did not trouble to look at it, can bardly, he accepted as an excuse for disregarding it. In any case the evidence early estab lished that he was in no doubt as the obligation sought to be imposed on him, and it appears to the Court that, if the defendant believed this obligation would not legally be enforced on hing-though nu grounds for säh belief have been put forward-his proper Course as a prisdent man under all the circumstances would have heen to submit- under protest and subsequently to enter a complaint with his national authorities.
