ECHOES OF 1860

11.-Mr. Tarrant Released From Jail

Mr. Tarrant was released from Gaol on Saturday evening. Pre- vious to his release he handed us the enclosed for publication, which requires no comment. The interest on the bill of cost was 8225! Thus the Arst act is perpetrated in this❘ a of spoliation, which has done more to damage the Government than any device that could have been possibly invented.

To the Editor of the "Dally Press." Debtor's Ozol, Hongkong. 4th August, 1860.·

Mr. Editor. Having received the sum of two thousand dollars raised by public subscription to be pre sented to me for the purpose of alding in satisfying the writ under which I am held in this prison for the cost of the prosecution in my ibel on the Acting Governor, Co- lonel Caine, in September last; have to avail myself of your columns to acknowledge the hand some, testimonial, which is most gratifying-and I have to beg that the donors will receive my warm thanks for their great kindness,

he circumstances of my im prisonment from first to last, have been remarkable, and I am not surprised at the matter having created public sympathy.

But for this public demonstration, however, I should have remained

here until I receive an answer to my petition to the Queen for leave to appeal against the excessive de- mand for which I am imprisoned: and should it be that I succeed in obtaining a reduction of the" bill of costs, I shall look on the money which has been subscribed-and which will be paid to the Master of the Crown Office under formal protest as a fund to be disposed of for some public good,

In all the annals of English Jurisprudence I do not think, there is, the parallel of such a case of hardship and oppression, and re- peating to subscribers my thanks for coming to my ald.. I subscribe myself. Very faithfully your's,

-William Tarrant,

Later, she asked him to marry her and though he had first refused, she said that she would die if he did not marry her. He accordingly went to the Re- gistrar and gave notice of the mar- rlage.

Towards the end of last year, at woman named Wong Wai Ying sent her chlid to the Government Civil Hospital for treatment. The child was suffering from an infec- tious disease in the eyes. On January 22 this year, the woman went with her mother-in-law, Lau Szer to take the child out.

The boy then took them to the general office where he as- certained from a clerk that the fee was $6.50. The younger woman then went out of the hospital to borrow the money. Later she rè- turned and handed the money to her mother-in-law who then went to the office and gave the money to soma person whom she could not recognise. However, Mr. J. F.

Dr. J. E. Dovey, medical officer in charge of the Hospital, told the Court that he marked the dis- charge form free elther on: Janu- ary 22, 23 or 24.
