After a few further questions by the Court, the case for the plaintiff was concluded.

Mr. Robincan, In opening the case for the Company, cubnitted that the appropriation for fees of the $180'that the directors gave to Mr. Hancock: to get certain things from England could not be upheld. It was a simple matter of account, the question being whether or not Mr. Hancock had been Indemnified for the work he did; but he had stuck to $380, which was obviously more than he was entitled to. He claimed $11go in respect to a contract the practical part of which was only some $3,000-40 per cent, of the contract. He had got 27 per cent, without the directors' consent, and it was for his fordship to say whether or not that was excessive. Expert evidence would be given, shewing that his charges were exorbitant, and Mr. Francz-Smith would detail the dream- alances under which charges for rent were made.

PRESENTATION TO CHIEF

INSPECTOR CRADOCK.

Chief Inspector Cradock, who is leaving the At the Central Police Station this morning Hongkong Police Force through falling health, after nearly a quarter of a century's service, was presented with a valuable gold watch and chain by the members of the Force.

Mr. Fraser-Smith was then called, and said :-- I am chairman of the board of directors of tha Shameen Hotel Company, Mr. Hancock went to Canton in July 1889, with myself and Mr. Pitman, to make an inspection of the site which the Company had purchased to build a hotel au. Mr. Denison had previously prepared, a plan, bat Mr. Hancock was engaged because the The Acting Captain Superintendent of Police board doubted the suitability of the place for the (Mr. G.

Mr. Pitman' suggested that we should visit the Con-preside at this official "Good bye" to you to-day.

quences to rest in the proper quarter. The Governor replied that order would be maintained and that was no need of alarm. He ordered the Taolai to go the next day and carry from him this assurance to the captain of the Inconstant. On the 5th perfect quiet seemed to prevail in the town. On the 19th the litis anchored also below the walls of Nanking. In the faremoan the two captains, accompanied by some officers went together to the house of the missionaries. They informed the Thotai that he could pay his visit there. He came there with his suite and. the interview was a most amicable one. At the same time the Superior-General of the Mission, who had arrived the same morning, thought that he ought to make known very forcibly the incidents of which he was a witness at Wahu, at he house which he had left only when it was set on fire. From this simple statement was clearly shown the share of each oac's responsi bility in this lamentable event,

Alter having visited the mission and its build- ings the European officers returned on board, escorted by the guard of the Chinese maandarto. The following night Captain Archer received leave at once for Klukiang, rom the German Minister at Peking orders to

and it is towards them more especially the hatred of the Chinese is directed. Instances of this bitter feeling against the French have already heen given in Wehu and the other River ports, and the placards warn the French in Shanghai that, their turn will soon come, as the patience of the Chinese bere, who have always hitherto exhibited genemsite and long-suffering nearly exhausted. The placards "revile the French Mixed Court Magistrate, whom, the writer says. was once a house boy to a foreigner, and is not capable of looking after Chinese interests, In the recent inquest he rat like a block, incapable of uttering a word, and left all the work to the Shanghai Che-hsien.

Chater and Medy, the owners, and eventually we purchased the place for $20,000, Mr. Hancock was retained as architect, to supervise the alteration of the building, and supplied plans. He had given us none in connection with the Ice-house lot. The board refused to pay the charge for such plans, and Mr. Hancock said he was entitled to make the charge for advice. I offered to recommend the board to pay him $150 for what he did if he would give us a quittance for all we owed him. He agreed to that. And in November 1889 sent in an account for $490 in pursuance of our arrangement. Ne plans for the annexe were supplied, and none were included in the bill. It was not understood that Mr. Hancock should charge for his visits to Canton .whilst retained as architect to the Company His visits on other occasions were principally made in connection with a scheme for a Bund," then being promoted by the Viceroy. With reference to a charge of $160 for rent, Mr. Hancock suggested that the clerical work of the Company should be done in his office, for his own convenience. It had previously been done In my premises, without any charge!

Cross-examined-The plans produced were never made for the Company, but must have heen for the purposes of this sult. Witness had not consented to the whole of the charges, but to one charge of $50 for a special visit As to one of the plans alleged to have been suppiled to the Company, witness was quite celain there was so such plan among the records of the Company although there was no reply in his letter saying be enclosed such a plan, Plaintiff was not entitled to charge for that. As to the "rent of offices" charge, the only office was Mr. Hancock's drawing office, where one desk was used for the Marins and the Hotel Co: 27 a month was an excessive charge for a desk. If Mr. Barretto had said it was a fair charge winces would have opposed it, as the office was taken there at Hancock's request on the understanding there was to be no rent. Mr. Hancock owed $380 to the Com pany and $:10 in chits, and in March 1891 when the Company intended to sue him, they asked what he claimed--not because they did Dot consider the accounts settled between them, Previous payments had quite met all claims, and were not simply made on account. Until this time Hancock had sent in no'account. Witness considered the accounts settled when E suggested the reduction of the first item to $150. Re-examined:-Had never seen any plan er specification for the annext, and there was no mention of it in the Company's minute book.

By the Court -All the plans stated to have been supplied were no doubt in accordance with the Company's intentions, but certainly they were not all cupplied. Witness knew nothing of the $:00 which plaintiff said he had lent to the Company. Witness had been until quite recently under the impression that Hancock had used the $180 for fittings as directed.

Mr. Willlam Danby, architect, was called to give technical evidence. Was well acquainted with architects' work in Hongkong and Canton. Some of the charges made by plaintiff were entirely contrary to witness's experience. As to the plans which could not be found, but which plaintiff asserted he had made, it was usual to keep a copy In the architect's office. It was Impossible to say what would be a fair charge for plans with out seeing them. It was not usual to charge for going to clients for a consulation. The com- mission en total cost was usually made to cover all necessary attendances. Usually it was 5 of on new buildings and yo/o, not 7 of, on old ones. For visits to Canton witness had only bare expenses, but no special fee.

Mr. Robinson explained that he wished to show that as an architect he was not entitled to charge for every visit, whereas if he were a selicitor he might,"

They bivouacked around the Customs premises the whole time, marching, counter-marching, and charging from time to time as occasion required. About fourteen Foreign houses in all have been looted, seven of which were completely destroyed, including the Sanntoilum, Mission Schools, and the partially erected Catholic Cathedral.
