Usoop, of Java, seaman, aged thirty-five years, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of one Thyair. It appeared that the prisoner took up the knife, with which he stabbed the deceased in the heat of fight, being previously unarmed. He therefore received the mild sentence of nine calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour.

Lü A-kau, of Shun-tak, seaman, aged thirty- one years, was convicted of having unlawfully enticed away a girl named A-ngan, aged eight years, and of having unlawfully detained the said child. The child was playing outside the door of the house of her guardian, when the prisoner took her by the hand, and on board the Macao steamer, where he was arrested by a Police Constable on duty at the wharf. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, and fo be kept in solitary confine- ment for fourteen days together, in every three months of the said imprisonment.

Tsang Sz-tan, of Pún-ii, farmer, aged fifty-one years, and U A-iu, of San-ning,coolie, aged thirty- nine years, were convicted of unlawfully by force, and by fraudulent means detaining two boys named respectively Ho Pò-shing and Yeung Shing, and aged respectively eleven and five years, with intent to sell them. The children were offered for sale at Shau-ki-wán by the first prisoner, and the Police hearing of it, brought the first prisoner and the children to the Central Station. Here, the second prisoner came up and claimed the children as his nephews, and said he had handed. them over to the first prisoner. The first prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for detaining by force the two boys with intent to sell them, and in addition, to eighteen calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour for de- taining them by fraudulent means with the same

intent. As the guilt of the second prisoner did not appear to be so great as that of the first, he was sentenced to only eighteen calendar months' imprisonment with hard labour.
