The next witness was Chak Kwok Sua, who stated that in 1809 he was Vien President of the Eo Ying District Muni vipal Council. The tribunal dealt with family differences with regard to the law of inheritance. In 1918 he was appoint. ed Deputy to the Civil Governor of Canton, and subsequently became private secretary to the Civil Governor Kwangtung. "That gentleman had "retir ed and he was now his secretary in Hong- kong.

He said that, in cases like this "the was never given power ander widow Chinese law, the estate always going to the head of the family. On the death of the husband the woman loss her indo pendence, and if she re-married, her

children were taken from her and weat While into their grandfather's home. the woman had the right to re-marry it was considered a disgraceful thing to do. Filial duty was the basis of Chinese family lite

Mr. Jenkin said that defendant was not claiming a grant for himself, but was contesting the right of the plaintiff, be cause the law of China dissentitled her to do what she claimed. It was alleged that the plaintiff according to Chinese law and custom, was not the proper person to which the grant ought to be made. They knew on the evidence that her status under the law and custom of China was entirely dif ferent to that of a woman under English law.

When the case was continued in the afternoon Mr. Jenkin pointed out that administration was necessary. When it was taken into consideration that, the assets had to be collected and payment of debts made, it was clear that there mast be administration. It had to be borne in mind that the applicant was Hong- kong boru, and therefore was a British- born Chinese, and that the deceased was not only a British-born, but was the son of a British-born father, and that four generations of the family had been buried in the British soil. The whole of the property of the deceased was British in the sense that they were British assets. The widow's son was a British-born sub- ject. Without doubt it was the intention of the deceased to remain in Hongkong as long as he lived, and therefore there was no cogent reason why there should be any reference to the law of domicile.

His Lordship naked whether there was any registration of Chinese marriages under the laws of the Colony, and Mr. Jenkin replied in the negative.

His Lordship adjourned the case until Tuesday, November 25th.

KOWLOON HOSPITAL.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONG DAILY PRE36."

Br. It ia pointed out in one of the papera that the staffing of the Kowloon Hospital is a matter which concerns the whole Colony as a question of public policy and precedent.

There can be no doubt that the purpose of the Roman Catholic sisterhood is to exorcise its religious influence. Anyone who knows the religion knows that its object is to discipline wherever and whenever pos sible, and these Sisters who have given up home and other things one holds dear in obedience to a religious calling will pot exclude what they have given up those things for.
