the Chinese issuing a mandate which will undoubtedly con- fer mutual benefit, on both their own Govern ment, and unfortunate foreigners, and assist the natives to realize the advantages derivable by leading a more civilised and charitable life.
The cruelty of the Chinese is beyond concep tion, and it is galling to observe almost daily in stances of barbarity in which it is impossibic to interfere. Early on Thursday morning last, we witnessed with sadness and horror an unfortunate native, (who was unable to acquit his paru- niary liabilites) dmgged to the side of a pond in the sequestred spot behind the Canton Club, and brutally kicked to death. Remon strance was useless-appeals of no avail, and our endeavour to rescue the unfortunate victim was met by gestures that a similar fate awaited us if
to interfere. Thus were persisting we, involuntarily, witness to a foul and cold blooded murder, and powerless to rescue a hu. man creature. If cases of this description were isolated, we might almost reconcile ourselves to very occasional cases of this lamentable des cription, but unfortunately they are of frequent occurrence, and no earthly means appear fea- sible for their prevention.

The counsel for the defence mainly tried to im peach the evidence given by an Informer named Duffy. He argued that the crown doubted its own case, because it had failed to secure the indictment of men who, according to evidence offered by the Crown, were strongly impleated in the crimes charged against the prisoner. The counsel for the Crown in reply strongly asserted the complicity of the Land League in the projected murder of Landlord Brooke, through Boyle, who was then Treasurer of the local League.
