THE "Japa" are apparently a reasoning people. In spite of the long-continued drought, the inha bitants of Futamate-cho, in Toyoda-gun, Shi- zuoka-kon, telose to pray for ralo.

The Sessions were then adjourned 'until Monday next.

IN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.

[Before Chief Justice Fielding Clarke.)

THE "TETARTOS" CASE. The hearing of the owners' application for the release of the steamship Tetarios, arrested by order of the Governor under the Chinese Emigration Ordinance of 1889, was continued to-day. As before, the Hos, W. M. Goodman, Attorney-General, fastracted by Mr. G. C. C. Master, Acting Crown Solicitor, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. J. J. Franels, Q.C, instructed by Mr. E. C. Ellis (Mr. V. H. Deacon's office) appeared for the owners.

The special Jory consisted of:-Jacob Silas Moses, Robert Kennaway Leigh, Thomas Isaac Rose, James Billington Coughirie, Masena Solo- moa Silar Sassoon, Nathaniel Joseph Ede, and Edward William Mitchell

Before re-cammencing with the Tafarios came, Mr. Francis asked leave to mention two cases in the Crimtoal Sessions, which he understood the Chief Justice would take. In one of them Mr. Francis was to appear for the prosecution, and in the other for the defence. He would like to ask what arrangement could be made.

His lordship did not know whether be or the Acting Fulene Judge would take them.

Mr. Francis understood it was intended that Mr. Justice Wise would take one of the Sessions crues today, and leave over the rest to some other day, subject to any arrangement which the Chief Janice would make.

His lordship sald be understood from Mr. Justice Wise this morning that only one Sesaloos case was ready for trial; in another, counsel had not yet been instructed, and in the third case the Information had not yet been filed against the prisoner.

Mr. Francis said that was the case in which he was prosecuting, and Mr. Robinson defending. He would like that case to stand over.

The Attorney-General was about to ask number of questions as to the account of the Compania Metropolitans with Shewan & Co,

Mr. Francis submitted that it was not allow. able, under the rules of evidence,

His lordship thought it perfectly admissible; the rules were only for guidance, and not the fudge to allow a question if he thought fit absolute; it was entirely within the discretion of

мете

In this case he understood the Attorney-General was not prepared with this evidence before.

The Attorney-General-I only got it this morning.

Mr. Francis submitted that it was one of those things which were constantly refused by the jadges, to allow material amendments to be made in indictments or to smead a case or make it up as it goes on. Fartles supposed to come into Court fully prepared with a complete case, and not to start on a "fishing commission." New and then new matter might be allowed to be introduced in the Cours of a case, under exceptional circumstances; bat to make a practice of doing so, as the Attorney-General was in the habit of doing with every witness who had been called yet, was quite Irregular and contrary to the whole theory on which the procedure of the Courts was based.

The Attorney-General:-I submit it is open to your lordship to allow

Mr. Francis :—The Attorney-General does not even pay your lordshipthe compliment of asking lordship's decision permission 1 (A pause.) I am waiting for your

Mr. Francia :--I have finished. His lordship-I allow the question. then, and you can ask any question you like on it.

Witness then läratified an order on Shewan & Co., his banking agents, for $8,000 on account of the charter which was afterwards signed lo Macao.

His lordship thought this quite annecessary, as Mr. Hopplùs had already sworn to that states ment. It was a pity to waste viere in 'this way,

Witness also identified an order for $3,500 paid to Mr. Ray for coal on July 24th. Did not know how much ; had not get the invoice; Mr. Ray was la charge of the matter. One of

·Shewan's men anld it was for coal. Witness swore none of the money went for anything else but coal.

"Mr. Francis protested against the Attomey. General cross-examining Crown wines in such a hostile spirit.

By the Court Witness had seen some Chinese on board, but did not know whether they were carpenters; be did not take any notice of them. Ho saw no carpentering work done by them.

'His lordship :—But were there any Chinese whom you believed to ba carpenters ?

Winess, after the question had been six times rep:ated, and evaded every time, finally sald there were some men on board whom he

belleved to be carpenters, but he did not know how many. He did not know whether they were to go with the vessel to Stag- apore. He saw the tw> largest rice-bollers brought on board one day, by whom he did not know. No communication whatever

Was

Witness bad never seen some and frames brought out on deck from below, and fitted together by the police. They might have been intended for use is so fitted, but he did not know. He saw the large ladders brought on board. He did not speak to the captain about the rice-boilers. He did not know whether the ladders were cargo or not.

By Mr. Francis :—As to the Chinese who were "supposed to be carpenters," witness now believed them to be such, and had that idea from the first-before the ship was seized. The timber which the police fired up as "booby-hatches" might equally well have been used for anything clse; there was nothing to show one purpose

more than another.

By the Court -The supposed carpenters leit before the arrest of the ship.

By the Attorney-General-The frames were found to be shorter on the starboard side of the abip, where there was a steam pipe to be allowed toom for; witness thought it clear that they must have been meant for that alone.

By the Court:-Witness had not seen asy- body takig measurements on the Tuartos, about the batches, for instance.

The Attorsty General said the case for the Crown was now complete.

Mr. Francis said the defence would not call evidence.

His lordship asked whether the parties had. agreed as to the need of viewing the ship.

Mr. Francis did not see any use in it. The Attorney-General sald’ke would ask for a view, unless idr. Francis would admit that all the things were put on board, and for the par pose suggested by the police.

Mr. Francis said that if the Attorney-General had not seen dearly that all this was admitted, he could not know much of the case,

Capt. Breitung, recalled by his lordship,

Witness, proceeding, said he drew the $3,500 cheque in Macao. Mr. Tomes told witness, in. | admitted havlug told Capt. Hastings that the Shewan's office in Hongkong, that Mr. Ray had this had clearly been supplied with Gillage for the coal ready on July 2and; and two days emigrants, and that he saw it all when shown, after, at Maczo, witness gave the cheque to Mr. hut had not known it before. The frames cer Ray, to get the coal.

lainly were for "booby-batches,” and were made to give room for the seam pipe of the Telories. Hla lordship decided that it was not necessary for the jury to view the ship. The evidence was enough, and there might be a doubt about every- thing being as when seized.

By Mi. Francia :-Witness bad proposed to Siemsson & Co. before June to charter the Tetartos. Lavandeira acted in that matter, but no result was effected. Witness bad to stop the matter, and said “No, I can't take the vessel," Then when he reopened negotiations, Mr. Hopplus would not listen until witness had deposited $9,000 as caracat-money, to be returned (less expenses) If the charter again fell through.
