Li Achise, a marine hawker, was charged this morning before Captain Thomsett with being in unlawful possession of 76 tins containing tea on the 3rd instant. Inspector Perry said that, while | hibition, as, amongst other feats, the Colonel walking along Queen's-road Central yesterday, a14 p.m., he saw the two baskets in Court standing under a verandah, There were two mat bags in the basket, and in them he found 76 tins con- taining tea. Defendant told him they were his property, that he had bought them from a coolic in the central district. He said, the coolie was a godown-keeper to a European who had gone home. At the station, defendant said he could not recognize the coolle from whom he bought the tea if he saw him. He made a similar state- ment to the Magistrate, who fined him two pounds or 14 days' imprisonment with hard labour.

As an instance of the readiness with which some of the females of the canine species can transfer their affections to the offspring of another race, we may mention a case that occurred in the Colony the other day. A black and tan terrier bitch belonging to a resident, had lately three pups, all of which died. A pair of kittens, about a fortnight old, of English descent, having been presented to the owner of the bitch, as an experi- inent, in order, if possible, to preserve the lives of the kittens, which could not be got to take anything in the shape of nourishment, they were placed with the bitch, which immediately took to the helpless offspring of a rate not usually over be- loved by dogs, and lavished upon the embryo
