It is interesting in this connection to quote some remarks made in 1879 by the Chief Justice in giving judgment in a case in the Criminal Sessions relating to charges of kidnapping and selling children. His Lordship, after a very lengthy address, said that what he intended to affirm could be summarised thus:-
-That in England, by the com- mon law, slavery in every form has always been and is prohibited, that no one can nequire any right over the person of another, that no man can sell his own person into slavery, that a parent has no saleable pro-

2-That slavery has never been except by positive law; so said Lord MANSFIELD.
By 1 carious coincidence, public notice of proposed legislation for the better protection of girls under eighteen years of age synchronises with the annual meeting in the Colony of the Auti-Mui-tsai Society, Details of the proposed amendment of the existing law, and of the proceedings at the public meeting, have already appeared in our columns. The Government proposes to give the Secretary for Chinese Affairs authority to assume legal guardianship of any girl under eighteen who has been sold for adoption into another family, or has been properly treated by those in whose custody she is, whether sold or not. Very wide powers are proposed to be given to the author- itics, enabling them to make the most exhaustive search and inquiry in connection with suspected cases of infringement of the law, and beavy punishment in the shape of fine or imprisonment is provided for.
