It has been asserted that the men had to registration tickets, and that it was solely on that account that they were delivered to the Cowlood Magistrates; but this carries absurdity so the face of it. In the first place, they were not taken up so Hongkong, but captured in an open Bey, where it is not criminal to be without a ticket. In the second place, the registration act is Hongkong Jay and the Cowloon Magistrates care as little for those who sofringe it, as they do for the articles of the Church of England.

The Duke of Richmond felt it an honour to bear testimony to the conduct of the noble Marquis, who, casting aside modesty, had behaved like a true Englishman.

We are happy to learn that His Honor the Chief Justice has received Mr Compton's appeal, and thus the case will have a fair hearing, and a decision upon the principles of English law impartially ad- ministered.
