There were five coolies sitting down and they were not struck with any particular strength and when the fifth coolic attempted to ward off the blow he was struck hard. The fifth one said something but I could not catch what "It was...... I am certain I saw woman hand pri- soner a fire amm.. ¡I am shortsighted and cannot tell for certain.

I cannot say that I told H.M.'s Consul at the preliminary trial that the firearm was two feet long. I do not know what the foreigner did with the stick after he got across the threshold of his door. The other foreigners were standing quietly by while the prisoner went in for the firearm. I saw four foreigners. There were everal foreigners there, one passing, and I was confused and ran away.

Andrew K. Duncan deposed-I am constable to the British Consulate at Canton. I had to arrest the prisoner on the tath of August last. I subsequently arrested a man by the name of Johnsen in the same locality. He gave him self up to the British Consulate for protection. I went this morning with Mr. Denison, now in court, and abowed him Logan's house, Johnson's house, and Neilson's house, The two revolvers now in court were received from Mr. Ewer of the Imperial Maritime Customs and have been in my custody ever since. They were both fully loaded in every chamber when handed to me, and they remained loaded until to-day when I unloaded there under fastructions from the court. The cartridges are those on the table, which fit the revolvers. Mr. Cunningham. of Messen. Russell & Co. examined the revolver to my presence at the preliminary examination, and wiped it with his white silk handkerchief and there was a dirty or black mark left.

I have never heard anything against him.

The tumult which arose resulted in three other being seriously injured,

Weddings in such a small community as ours are not an every day occurrence, and, when one takes place in "higher circles," the effect produced by such on the few residents, of our port is similar to that of yeast mixed up with our Sunday-pudding's dough.
