all her armament with the exception of three cannons, was related to the Water Police yesterday, when the junk returned from Chung Hai, in the Tung Kün dia- trict.

The junk, which had a capacity of 2,268 picula left Hongkong on August 9th. There was no cargo on, beard. The crew consisted of eight men and four women. The vessel carried rifles, 130 rounds of ammunition, four muskets, 20 lbs. of bullets, 3 cannous, 80 lbs. of gunpowder and 4 gingals.

CORRESPONDENCE.

A SUGGESTION.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONO DAILY PRESS."}

Sin, The entrance to the steep Stanley Road from Shaukiwan is narrow and at an awkward angle, which could easily be straightened out by cutting a yard or two off some waste ground on the right.

A matshed refreshment stall has, how ever, lately been erected on this waste further back it would not be so bad, but ground close to the road. If it were.

ALLEGED PIRACY:

AGENTS OR PRINCIPALS.

JUDGMENT GIVEN FOR DEFENDANTS.

The question, as to whether the Kwong Hing firm aeted as agents or principals in the shipment of goods to Mul Kong San Wu? (Kwangtung) which did not arrive at their destination owing, it is. alleged, to a piracy, came before Mr. Justice Wood again in the Summary Court yesterday.

the price of goods entrusted to defendant

The Ho Yuen firm claimed 8908.38 as

toms dues and coolie hire in respect of the shipment which the defendants failed to deliver or return to plantiffs.

as it is there is often a small crowd and monies on account of freight, Cas- loitering on the road just at the entrance to the Stanley Road,-which was nearly blocked a few nights ago by a large lorry halted there while the staff indulged in refreshments.

This morning a small girl suddenly dashed across from the refreshment stall, with the sun in her eyes, and was nearly caught by my car emerging from the Stanley Road, only being saved by prompt and heavy application of brakes to the detriment of the tyres.

Whether the matter is the business of the Police or the P.W.D. I do not know, but would suggest that the matshed

be moved further back and the road straightened, which would not be an expensive matter and would avert 'risk of accident.

Incidentally wandering pigs are out of place on the Shaukiwan Road, and might easily cause a nasty smash. Yours

truly.
