As it was finished, Mr. Francis arrived and explained he had been en- gaged in a big transaction at the Supreme Court and could not come sooner.

THE ALLEGED CASE OF KIDNAPPING:
On the 23rdult, a letter appeared in our mom- ing contemporary giving particulars of an alleged case of kidnapping said to have taken place in the streets of the Settlement in broad daylight; that account has been incorporated in a leading article in the Hongkong Daily Press; and last nigs Courier gives another account translated from?he Shen-par. Seeing that so much interest has been manifested in this case, our renders will
be interested in the following true and correct account of the paniculars of this case, which after all was not a case of kidnapping but only a well- played comedy in real life. We received the in- formation yesterday from Inspector Wilson, of Louza Police Station, who investigated the case immediately after its occurrence, and took the pains of having all the parties concerned brought before him; the result of his enquiries gives a very different rolor to the story than the inac. curate reports which represented it as a case of cruel oppression and slavery, as the girl was said to have been carried off against her will. It seems that the heroine is about sixteen years of age; five years ago, when she was only cleven she was bought by an old woman, and at the present time this woman keeps a native brothel, the heroine heing the only girl in what the Chinese law recognises as her rightful pos session, acquired by purchase; but there are four or five other girls in the same house, who pay for their board, and allow the mustress so much per cent, of their income, that they are not in any way bound to her. In the same house there are five servants, four coolles and one girl, and each of these had to depus money before they could be engaged. One of the men deposited ng much us $259, and the others various sum between that and Stoo. The mistress of the Вике
pays interest on that money at the rate of a per cent. per month; and the servants, who of course borrowed their deposit money,!
have to pay interest to their creditors. The servants are not paid wages; they simply get their board, and take their chance of cumshows from visitors to the house. The hense did not pay well, or rather the Chinese patrons of the house did not pay well; and the inistress had to draw on the depo site of her servants to keep the put boiling; a goot deal of the money was also spent in providing
and jewellery for ile heroine.

und her girl took counsel as to how they could extricate themselves from the difficulty. The girl first proposed that they should hoth depart for some other place, but the mistress did not see a clear road for escape by doing so, A plot then concocted in which the girl was the leading spirit, and carried out by her in
manner which was considered, by her mistress and herself at any rate, most suc- cessful. The girl proposed to clape with a gay young man, and leave her mistress all forlorn, and the mistress undertook to do her level best in acting the part of the broken hearted and bereaved They reckoned that the servants would then have compassion, and agree to a compromise in the Settlement of their claim- write off half of it, say. month, the heroine carried out the plat sut-on the 7th, cessfully.
