*SPECIAL "sends the following to the Shanghai Mercury:-Though somewhat early for a sport ing article on racing, a few remarks one prospects not only here but through China and it Hongkong may prove acceptable. In Tientsin the outlook is exceedingly gloomy for a fall meeting, though it is possible the water may take off sufficiently, but in any case the course will be dangerously trappy. There's some talk of many of the Tientsin cracks competing with the Shanghai and Hongkong ones. I should be glad to see this, as the class of ponies that raced there last Spring were undoubtedly superior to any that ever ran there before, not even excepting Orlande. Such ponies as Burik, Day Dream, Burggraf and Nophite are all eligible for the St. Leger bere, The latter pony I might mea- tion is already here and in the Leviathan stable (purchased for Tis, 500). Ratiboistur and some others are also not to be despised, and in view of the almost certainty that there will be no racing in Tientsin, It's highly probable we shall be able to judge their respective merits for our selves. Racing in Chefoo is a thing of the past, Now and then a few scratch races are got up amongst the visitors. We must not forget, bon- ever, that Cheloo gave us the phenomenal pony Black Satin (which won 34 races and ran one dead hea), and it only wants another Cornabé to resuscitate racing there. As for Shanghai, our prospects at the first glance are not as encouraging as one would wish. Mr. Buxey's stable will not be raced here, and I doubt if many from the Ewe lot will either. The great strength of Mr. Sassoon's stable deters many from enter ng | on an almost hopeless task. Then, again, what. are we to do for griffing ? `The miserable lot we must pick and choose from out of overland ponies can hardly compete with any chance of success with the highly tried kept-over ones now under Mr. Careceme's charge, so we must look for Sassoon 7. The Field, and it remains to be seen uport more to the old ponies. It's practically what the field will consist of Buzey out of it. Ewa is strong in numbers but weak in other respects. Humphreys has a few good poules (only two of which would rank in the ist class); Home Guardis good, so are the Tientsin ponies (but they are not bere). Mr., Sid bas a lot of ponies that are nearly sat class, and·! understand proposes racing them here as well as in Hongkong. (It's to be hoped he does; we want something to give it a filip.). I doubt if I have overlooked anything of much importance. Training and riding go a very long way toward success and it's quito on the cards that the big stable makes as much of a mull of it as on other occasions; ut present it looks 3 to x on Sassoon The Field. I shall take in Foochow, Amoy and Hongkong in my next.

SUPREME COURT.

IN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION,

(Before Mr. Fielding Clarke, Acting Chief Fustics).

AN INSURANCE CLAIM.

J. S. Lucas sued the Transatlantic Fire Insurance Company of Hamburg for $1500, ob a fire insurance policy. Mr. Francis, Q5, (instructed by Mr. Wilkinson) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. A. J. Leach (instructed by Mr. Hastings) defended.

Mr. Francis read the pleadings, which set out that the plaintiff, who was described as a trader, insured is property and personal effects at 35 Ewo St.eet for $1500. In March last a fire occurred, and a claim made, but repudiated, the. agents of the defendant Company-Messrs. Slemisen and Co-denying that goods to the valued of $1434 had been destroyed as alleged, and offering $500. The only question to be decided, Mr. Francis added, was as to the value of the goods destroyed.

The plaintiff said that he was a dealer to all sorts of things, which he bought at auctions. On the 1st March his house was burnt out, and the salvage sold by the defendants, who kept the proceeds. An inventory was made by the Police and plaintiff's solicitor's clerk, and he only claimed on what was shown therein, at the auction prices.

Cross-examined →→ He had no rouchers to show what he paid, but knew where he bought most of the things. He had nothing in his store that had been there more than two years.

Several tradesmen were called to prove the purchase of the goods by the plaintiff,

For the defence, Mr. Rapp, auctioneer, said that he had valued the debris left after the fire, and found the goods and furniture a. mere lot of rubblah, very old, and in a dirty state. The witness then went through the inventory made up after the fire by the plaintiff and gave his opinion as to the value of the different articles, which was very much below the plaintiff's prices, He finally totaled the whole amount up to $7221. He further stated that he afterwards sold the

Henry Seultau Bishop, chief steward of the steamship Taiyuan, said the vessel sailed for Sydney on the th of June last. I know the second defendant Betts; ge was second steward. Before we sailed I heard

for the order given the ship to be searched. Betts had to search the after part of the ship. When we came Moreton Bay Belts was "told off" to search the after part of the ship again, and the same duty fell to his lot at Sydney. In the after part of the ship the "boys" room and rice room are situated one in the to Sydney, eight Chinese were found in refrigerator. The second steward has to serve out stores. Both the refrigerator and the rice-room are always locked and the keys were entrusted to the defendant, Hetts. In the course of his duty Betts would have to go to the rice room four. times a week, and to the refrigerator every morning. Unless the keys were stolen it would be impossible, I should say, for stowaways to be concealed in either the rice room or refrigerator without the connivance of Belts. The receipt now shown me was handed to me in Sydney by the No. r "boy" Belts was present when the "boy" told me that he got the receipt frem Betts. Upon arrival in Hongkong the eight stowaways

were arrested and taken ashore. Betts made a

statement here, in presence of Mr. Beart and myself, whereby I understood he was implicated, That admission was made on board the ship.

To his Worship--The chief officer gave me the order-respecting the search for stowaways prior to our departure from Hongkong. The first defendant was pointed out as the "boy" who fed the stowaways. We had on board two Chinese passengers, with papers, for Queensland. I don't know if that is the full complement allowed for Queensland.

Betts-Was I not present at the official interview in Sydney?

Witness:-I don't know-I can't remember. I asked Mr Kwong Tart where the stowaways were puf, as an imputation was cast on me. He said at first, when asked if no European was in the swim" but that there was not, but qualified it afterwards.

Beits-Was there any statement made about the ill-treatment of the stowaways ?

Witness-Yes, it was said the second cook kicked them down the refrigerator' with his

boots.

Betts-There was nothing raid about me putting them in the refrigerator ?

Witness-No, you were brought in it after- wards.

Bests-Will you swear you didn't tell me the No. 1 "boy" bad admitted speaking to you about the stowaways before. leaving Hongkong?

Witness-I think I will swear it. Beits-Did not you say that the third class passengers and "boys" were putting away more

chow "than usual ?

Witacss-I may have done so, casually, Betts-Did you hear what sum of money 1 was to receive in this connection?

Witness-I heard afterwards, while these proceedings were going on, that you were to get | £360 în instalments.

To his Worship-The Mr. Kwong Tart referred to is the Chinese Consul at Sydney, who acted as our attorney the matter of the stowaways. I never saw the third defendant, the master of the Kung-wo shop before I came heie to-day.

Mr. Hastings-That is all the evidence, your Worship. I would suggest that the prisoners

make. be asked if they have any statement

Mr. Mossop-I want to know if Lo, Akit is here, ready for cross-examination? It was only upon the understanding that I should be afforded an opportunity of cross-examining him that I consented to an adjournment.

Mr. Hastings As far as we know he is not in Hongkong,

Mr. Mossop--I wrote to your Worship's chief clerk about it, Has Lo Akit been made to sign bis depositions ?

His Worship-No, he has not.

Mr. Mossop-I have only appeared in this case once before, when it was formally adjourned by Mr. Wodehouse. I then agreed to it upon the understanding that Lo Akit would be pro- duced. This is my second appearance only.

His Worship-I think Lo Akit should have signed his depositions. It was I who adjourned

it.

Mr. Beart was then recalled and said-The Taiyuan had her full legal complement of passen. gers, two to each son tons,

Mr. Mossop 1 submit there is no evidence against my client in the absence of Lo Akit, and he should be at once discharged.

His Worship-I have had Akit's evidence before me, and the charges are not quite correct in the summons,

To his Worship-In going up with Belts to the office I did not say to him that he had better make a "clean breast of the affair" and thus get it over, As far

be would be dismissed if he did, not come in and

make a statement-

To Betts-You were asked to come back to the office again on the Monday, following the Saturday on which you signed the statement.

Mr. Hastings-I would ask that the statement be read.

His Worship-I fancy that Mr. Beart, being close to the head of the house, to a certain extent inadvertently intimidated Betts. I think Betts should have been specially cantioned before he made the statement. There may have been an Imaginary inducement.

launch leaving the steamer, that Betts wanted Mr. Beart, recalled-1 beard while in the to make a confession. I went back to the ship and Betts then offered to write a letter to explain the affair fully. I said it would be more satis- factory if he would confess at the office.

To Betts-The reason you gave me for offer ing to make a statement was, because you did not want the chief steward to suffer owing to any fault on your part.

His Worship-The motive seems clearly to have emanated from Betts' own mind, and the statement is therefore admissable in evidence

The statement, which contained a full admit- sion of his guilt as referred to, was then read by the Clerk of the Court, subsequent to which the defendant verbally corrected it by saying, that it was falsely entered therein that he was acquainted with the terms ofthe Australian Restriction Act 1881. He was not aware of it.

At this juncture his Worship adjourned the case until Thursday morning.

BERLIN, July 17th.

Great anxiety exists in court circles regarding sister of Emperor William and granddaughter of the condition of the Crown Princess of Greece, Queen Victoria. On the 19th inst. she was prematurely confined. She improved for a few days and then dangerous symptoms developed, and the result was an internal rupture. The King and Queen of Greece were away and Dr. Hadilskos, the royal physician, was absent in Vienna.

Empress Frederick, mother to the Princess, was on her way from England when the event occurred, and only a nurse was in attendince. Dr. Mangloa of Athens was called, but arrived three hours after the birth. The Princess is now very weak and in a critical condition. Professor Obshausen, chief of the Berlin Hospital, left yesterday for Athens by the Emperor's orders. Queen Victoria is evidently alarmed, as she is constantly making Inquiries by telegraph about

A remarkable and pathetic scene occurred, The girl refused to go with her mother and tumed a deaf ear to her touching appeals.
