The persistent rumours current to the effect that the French squadron may shortly be expected here to blockade the port of Bangkok, give rise to anxious speculations to the fate of European commercial interests. A French blockade of Bangkok can have no terrors for the Siamese. On the first appearance of French war-vessel the export of fice might be stopped, And the Siamese could it down and laugh at French cruisers and their blockading endeavours, The blockade of Bangkok would prove a farce for all but the Europeans, and would result in delaying the solution of the present difficulty,

Some discussion ensued, Mr. Dranys quoting subsed. 5. sec. 17, Ord, 20 of 1891 to show that files in bankruptcy were only evidence in bank ruptcy proceedings, sa for instance if the present. trial had been at the instance of the judge who heard the bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Ellis in reply quoted R. v. Scott, 15 L.), M. C., p. 128, dated 1856, to show that all the enactments were intended to leave the evidence open for use in criminal as well as civil purposes. Subsec. 1, sec. 84, Ord. 20 of 189x was aise quoted in anp- port of this point.

Mr. Denzy pointed out that a case dating from 1856 in England was no authority what ever now in Hongkong, since the Bankruptcy the laws of bankruptcy in England. Under Ordinance of 18gt was entirely different from subiec: 5, sec. 17, a bankrupt was prevented. from having a lawyer to assist hims in his public examination, or explain his meaning, or protect him in any way from the results of his ignorance of the law.

Mr. Ella maintained that all evidence was admissible except where expressly prohibited by law.

His Worship noted the objection and allowed the evidence in the meantime.

Parts of the notes were then read, where Hahn said that some of the 33 pianos Included in the bill of sale had been sold and the proceeds invested in new planos; that Capt. Wright agreed to this course. The debtor's statement of account of planos bought and sold was then
