This is indeed a great mischief in Hongkong, and if it can be stopped it will confer a great blessing on the Chinese community ofthis colony. ¦ The reasons why thess gamblers do not care for the laws of Hongkong are these:~~~

at any rate the case was pressed on the supposition that the article was the pro- duct of malice, as well as gross negligence. In the circumstances the defendants found it necessary to call the writer of the article, who stated that he knew nothing about the plaintiffs, and had made the comments complained of for the purpose of illustrating an article he was writing on the law of libel. He wrote from recollection, and discovered afterwards that he was altogether wrong in his statements. The suggestion of malice had, therefore, no foundation, and the question remaining for the consideration of the jury was whether there had been gross
