The contents of the whole of the jars as weighed by the Chinese Revenue Officer worked out at 131.6 gallons, on which $102.63 duty would be duc. On the re-weigh the contents approximated 180.5 gallons, on which $114.43 duty would be due,

Yesterday, Mr. Fraser continued "tas evidence and produced a table of figures. taken from the register recording: the weight of the jars referred to. This table showed the difference between the first weighing and the second weighing the latter carried out by European Revenue Officer-and showed that the results obtained by the European Officer tallied the nearest to the correct weight. The figures of the Chinese Revenue Officer and the European Officer showed a con- siderable difference in the weight.
