EXCESSIVE THRASHING.

MUI TSAI ILL-TREATED BY MISTRESS,

The mistress of a mui taj, aged 9, who was charged before Mr. T." S. Whyte-Smith as Kowloon Magis- tracy yesterday with ill-treating her mui tai," pleaded guilty and admitted that she enned the child. because she stole some food during her absence.

Mr. R. H. Butters, of the Secre tariat for Chinese Affairs, who pro-

duced a doctor's certificate describi secuted, said that the child had heen excessively thrashed and pro- ing the wounds on the child's body. Sergeant Fitches, who saw the girl after she had been thrashed, said

master that his vessel was over. loaded, was he surprised?

-Witness: Yes.

# Very surprised?-Well, as far as I remember, his actual words when I saw him were these: "If this draught given me is correct, she cannot be over-loaded."

Further questioned by Mr. Mar- ton, witness said that according to hi menaurements, the vessel had a draught 10 feet 3 inches for- word and 11 feet 2 inches aft.

Mr. Marton: When you went into the Master's cabin, did he show you

the draught marks 7-He had a chit

Did he tell you what the marks were 1-Yes.

What did he tell you 7-10 feet inches forward and 11 fect aft..

That would make a meau draught of 10 feet 7 inches 1-Yes.

Are you certain that your.rend- ings of 11 feet 2 inches were car. rect? Yes, as far as I can ascer tain. The figures I gave cannot be more than two inches out at the most. It might have been 11 feet one, two, or three.

Witness then went on to explain how he took his readings that night. He said that when he examined the port side, he had a foot on the wharf and the other on the feuder of the vessel. He could see very well, as he had a powerful torch with him then. Further discussion followed as regards witness's ex- amination of the marks, during the course of which Mr. Lowe negatived Mr. Marton's suggestion that he could not see very well.

TEARER to you than any other majör highly-developed seaport on the Can- adian or American Pacific Coast, the Port of Vancouver offers you a shipping route of unsurpassed advantages. Twenty-seven square miles of land-jacked harbour, 13 miles of developed waterfrontage, unequalled terminal facilities and the friendly ca operation of port authorities. Two great transcontinental railways carry your mer. chandise quickly and efficiently to markets. The Via Vancouver roule is ncqrer, quicker, more efficient and more economical. Every lay you save in transit menna less interest, less insurance ebarges. Proof of this lies in the steady increase in tonnage from Oriental ports through the Port of Vancouver.
