This afternoon at the Police Court, before Mr. Sercombe-Smith, a somewhat important case of trespass was heard, in which a native Police Sergeant named Sheik Hallem, was charged by a Chinese shopkeeper in Jervois Street with entering his premises on the 24th ulto. without reasonable cause, and there assaulting one of his assistants. It appeared the defendant, who has been 16 years in the Police Force and who beats an excellent character, had, pre 'vious to the above date, a Chinese wife, who suddenly disappeared with money, and property belonging to him, valued at $1,500. He had made enquities' as to her whereabouts, and was informed that she was secreted in the complainant's house, and that was the cause of his being there. He asked permission to search the house but had no warrant, and as his conduct was afterwards considered to be outrageous the present charge had been made against him. Mr. Wotton appeared for the defendant. The evidence of Li Fung Chee, the manager of the shop, and also that of his assistant, went to show that defendant did not strike the assistant, although he threatened him with his uplifted hand; that he then went up stairs and searched the premises in company with two Chinese constables; that no woman was found on the premises; that on leaving the top the master ordered complainant to go with defendant to the Police Station and there to give him in charge for trespass; that on getting to the station the Inspector on duty would not take the charge; that they were then ordered to go to the office of the Registrar General, but that the defendant would not allow them to do so, and finally succeeded in chasing them away. Two Chinese constables, who were. with the defendant, in giving their evidence said it was quite untrue that the defen- dant had attempted to strike anybody;

the only impropriety in his conduct was that he talked rather loud, Mr. Wotten, for the defence, said the complainants had entirely failed to prove any misconduct against the defendant except that of trespass, and as they had evidently told lies in giving their evidence, he asked his Worship to discharge the defendant. Defendant was discharged,

Dr. Henderson in opening the proceedings said :—Mr. Wood, in your official capacity as Chairman of the Municipal Council, I have to-day the honour of presenting to you, three Chinese gentlemen, Mr. Chang Ching-kat, Mr. Li Tsun-fan and Mr. Gob Kit-mob, who after a course of study extending over a period of four years desire to receive at your hands, and under ["the seal of the municipality which you represent, those certificates in the various branches of medical study to which as a result of examin- ations conducted here by daly qualified medical men, nad in Hongkong, they are now justly entitled. These young gentlemen were brought to Shanghai some four weeks ago by their able instructor Dr. Wykeham Myers of Formosa, himself a graduate in medicine, to undergo n final examination by a board composed of the foreign medical men retenlly engaged in prac tice in Shanghai, a Board which represents the medical school of America, Great Britain, France and Germany.

Previous to this ap pearance of Dr. Myers' students in Shanghai, the history of one of their number is already known to you; but, I-may be permitted to remind you publicly that Mr. Gob Kit-moh has already been brought before you, and already obtained at your hands, certificates which testify to his- proficiency in those branches of medical educa- tion which, in the great medical schools of Europe and America, are made the subject of what is commonly known as the First Professional, or Primary Scientific, Examination. The other two candidates, Mr.ChangChing-kai and Mr. LITsun- fan, have passed a similar examination before the examining Board in-Hongkong. The docu ments which certify to this are signed by Deputy Surgeon General Hungerford, the then Dean of the Faculty, and have, after due examination by myself and my colleagues, been placed in your handss.
