Mr. Dennys, in addressing his Worship, ex- pressed surprise that a warrant should have been granted on the information laid by the informer, and called attention to the various sections of the gambling ordinance. He generally reviewed the evidence and put it to his Worship that there was no evidence against the defendants that either of them were engaged in gambling. Mr. Dennys, in speaking of the informers' evi- dence, said the informer was one of the basest scoundrels. in existence and was not entitled to any credence. His story in connection with the chok, Ait Loc, was antites, with the greatest breadth yo mites.

Mr. Shaip replied briefly to the remarks of Mr. Denny and called His War ship's attention to the public gambling ordinances.

His Worship in a few words stated that on the evidence in front of him he was of opinion that the house was a club and was not a public game bling house. He could not put any credence in the informer's story and would therefore discharge the defendants.

There can be very little doubt that the termination of this affair long way from being satisfactory to the

The general opinion here is that the decision of the judge was a most reprehensible one, justifiable on no grounds, ad- duced in the shape of evidence. The members of our local bar laugh at the judgement of the Consul and Assessors. They say that either Mr. Bidwell was fully entitled to the percentage claimed for his services, or he was entitled to nothing at all. So far as the evidence went, these can be very little question that the plaintiff estab lished a good case.
