UR NEW FACTORY has been recently refitted with Futomatic Steam Machinery of the latest and most approved kind, and we are well able to compete in quality with the best English makers:

A NATIVE paper states that Chow Lao-wu, the Kolac Hut member captured on the steamship Poyang, has been defying the Weht authorities to extort evidence from him with reference to his connection with the secret society. He is, how ever, known to have been in intimate connection with the executed member Kul Lao-wa who was also caught by the Waha police officers.

THE Foochow fea'market up country' was ex- pected to open on or about April 29th. Prices are expected to sale slightly higher than last season, and the quality of the teas is said to be much better that for years past. The fact that 17 lakhs of dollars have been sent up to the tea- growing districts, an increase of four lakhs com- pared with the amount forwarded in 1892, is re- garded as a healthy sign.

There are some polots which toned is the zoth and art rules. If the 1890, at the Supreme Court on a charge expulsion under the rules were those men conviction did not itself affect his position as a member it, must therefore be admitted that the conduct upon which, his expulsion was bared was no ground for expulsion at the time when it was committed. It may be said that the plaintiff's conduct was not the ground of is expulsion at all-that the effect of his con- duct upon the interests of the club was the reason of expulsion, and that as the lejury to the club con faued after the passing of the rule, the rule (applied as it was to a subsequent injury) had a prospective and not a retrospective operation. It not, however, a question of terms. The real question is whether according to legal principle the rule can be constroed so as to have the effect of destroyinga vested proprietary interest. Anumber of cases have been cited to show that courts of... law will not readily give a atafute the effect of destroying a vested right. Of these, Moon against Dundee, a Ex. 22, is I think the most sinking, besides being what is called a "leading case" on the subject. It was there held that an action on a wager, commenced before the passing of the 8th and 9th of Victoria C. 109, was not defeated by the 18th section of that Act, which enacted that "all contracts and agree. ments by way of gaming or wagering shall be null and vold and no suit shall be brought or maintained.

Another in the 29th rule, and can therefore only be made contention was that a mule providing for the expulsion of a member in consequence of con duct not in any way connected with sport was subversive of the constitution of the Club by giving it a social character which was not originally intended; and that therefore rule 4 was ultra wires.
