THERE"is a saying in Califomia that if a man buys water he can get his land thrown in. The literal fact is that the value of much of the land dépends solely upon the water which it holds or controls. Four systems of irrigation are practised First, flooding the land. This is possible only in flat districts, where there are large heads of water. The second is by furrows, by which a large head of water is brought upon the land and distributed in streams as small as will run across the ground. The third is by basins dug around tres rects, to which water is brought by pipes or dliches. The fourth is by sub-irrigation; the wateris Carried in pipes laid from two to three feet below the surface, and let out to permeate

LAWYERS AND LAYMEN.

·The following observations on the above sub- ject are condensed from a Melbourne publica tion, The Imperial Review “Why do we worship this horrid Juggernaut ? It is folly to look for reform from the lawyers.

WE beg to draw the attention of our readers to *the performance of “Fritz,” to be given at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, this evening, by the Loffius troupe. The cast is a powerful one, and we shall be much astonished if that clever actor, Mr. Jell. D'Angelis, does not score another great success as the German enlgradt. Fritz, The play, to be presented for the first time to night before a Hongkong audience was not first produced at the Adelphi Theatre, Strand, Lon- don, as ented by our muddling moming con- temporary, having been played in the States for several years, by Mr. J. K. Emmet, before it saw the "Lights of London.". The plot is of a rather -hackneyal description, ending, with the usual triumph of virtue over vice. Fritz" is essentially a one-horse play, and was written for the express purpose of showing off the versatility: of`Mr.. Emmet, and, was simply formed into a sort of drama to allow of the introduction of attractive quipe, quirks and antics of that artists who is said to have made over one million dollars

"Law insists on a cruel symmetry, like the out of "Fritz" alone. -- Mr. H. J. Byron, at the Procrastcan bed on which the tyrant of old conclusion of the successful run of "Fritz," at places his victims, backing them to fit the Adelphi, specially wrote a piece for Mr, Emin Justice cannot be dealt out after this fashion.

wist, how would barristers make money? Only a rich man can enjoy the luxury of an ultimate appeal to the Privy Council, because a deposit of £500 is required: We remember a case where a poor man, in Melbeume, obtained a verdict against a rich man, who appealed to the Privy Council, and had it capsized. If the rich man had been successful, in the first instance, the poor man could not have afforded to appeal to the Privy Council. Therefore justice is bought by the longest purse.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT,】

December 8th, 1883. In regard to the Secret Decree, it was issued in September last, and no doubt a copy was in M. Tricou's possession when he was in Peking, d it had very likely been received in Europe Tag before it was published in the Shanghal apers.

If Bacninh is taken the Chinese will then withdraw from the field, but so long as they delay, the Chinese, have hopes that they and the Black Flags united can beat the French troops in Tongkinge

Sir Harry Parkes, as advised in my last, ar- rived and had an Interview with Li Hung-chang, and Li expressed a hope that Sir Harry and his Government would be good enough to use their best endeavours to assist Marquess Tseng in his negotiations with France, so that a peaceable result would be obtained in the French, Chinese and Annamese affairs. To this Sir Harry is said to have consented, and promised to acquaint his Government of wishes. During theic last

While the Rothschilds fester in wealth, there is stated to be only one Jew in the whole British Army. We may be sure he is the big- gest fool in all Israel.

"The Parliament of Victoria appended an indelible stigma to the Law by declaring that the operation of the Land Act of 1869 should be entirely outalde the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. If the Lay be the fountain of Justice, why should there be any necessity for such a pro vision as that? Of course, Parliament thereby determined that the operation of the Law was unjust, iniquitous, and opposed to the fanda- mental instincts of right and wrong.

LIBEL.

Several of the leading American newspapers appear to have a fively time of it in the law courts, libel actions and prosecutions following cach other in rapid succession! Amongst many others the Philadelphia Times has occupied a prominent position as a fearless, 'ifidependent: and outspoken journal, with the result that it: has had to defend in court its public utterances times out of number. The United States law of bibel would seem to be a much more intelligent enactment than the very unsatisfactory and, generally incomprehensible ordinance which governs such cases in England and her de- pendencies, or perhaps it may be that Ameri can judges are not so rigidly fenced in with the legal prejudices which warp the common sense and better judgment of so many oc cupants of the English Beach. However, after a spell of quiet of a few months duration the Philadelphia Timeris again in for a libel action, and this is the free and easy manner in which our contemporary, whilst the case is still suð

The swindling lottery system has now come to the front, as The Times has been officially. notified by a writ, No. 2o, issued from the United States Circuit Court, October session, 1883, in which it is set forth that The Times publishing Company must appear on the first Monday of November next, to answer to Maximilian A. Dauphin, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing in New Orleans, State of Louisiana, on a plea of trespass on the case." Maximillan is the General Agent or active officer of the Loui siana Lottery Company, and The Times has trespassed upon that corporation by exposing its lawless operations in Fennsylvania and protect- ing the people from the swinding lottery system." "That Maximilian, the distinguished French citizen who proposes to make The Times re- plenish his finances by a libel suit, bas much reason to be dissatisfied with this journal, we are free to admit. It has greatly interfered with: the lottery robbery in this and other States, and it has saved the poorer classes ofour citizens, who have been most easily tempted into the folly, dollars by its refusal of Maximilian's liberally Proffered advertisements andits ceaseless protests against the fraud.
