calling on them to show cause why amandamus provisions of Ordinance às of 1886 to hear and determine according to law the application of the said Alexander Oldfield for a licence to be granted to him for the building at the Feak Tramway Station, known as "The Buffet."
Mr. J. I. Francis, QC, instructed by Mr. V. H. Deacon, appeared for the ex paris applicant, nobody else being represented.
After quoilog extensively from the Ordinance, Mr. Francis detailed the proceedings which led up to the present application. He read a very long affidavit from Mr. V. H, Deacon, embody ing the substance of the newspaper reports of the proceedings at the meeting of licensing justices on the 4th August. He then proceeded to argue that the hearing of Mr. Oldäeld's application at that A DEPATCH from Victoria B.C. dated the 8th meeting was not in accordance with law, for two August, says: The British steel screw steam-reasons-first, that the Justices discussed the ship Croum of England is loading in Japan by locality, whereas their powers were limited to the Great Northern Railway to sall early in consideration of the character and conduct September for Puget Sound as the pioneer of of the applicant; and the second point was the trans-Pacific Acct.

differed from the Imperial Act, so that rullugs and precedents based on the latter did not necessarily apply equally to the former. In the case of Sharp agalust Wakefield, and in fact in all the leading home cases, the right of the Justices to refuse an application for a licence on the ground of uninitable locality was founded on sec. g of the Licensing Act of George IV. which had absolutely no counterpart in the Hongkong Ordinance. Whether by design or otherwise, all mention of locality had here been omlited; the justices were simply empowered to certify as to the applicant's character and conduct, and nothing more. The forms of certificate provided in the Ordinance, to be sent by the justices to the Colonial Treasurer as his authority to receive the licence fee. mentioned nothing else. The magistrates In England, on the contrary, were expressly empowered to enquire into the suitability of the site chosen; but Ord. 21 of 1886 contained no such proviso.
FTIZOERALDS' gigantic circus at present on show in Sydney has lately had an additional attraction added to its long list, in the person of a lady cannon ball, who li shot out of a place of ordnance and is caught by a gentleman suspended from a trapeze. Generally, observes racy Sydney contemporary, this performance goes it right, but some nights since the lady hung fire and then went off sileways, and butted the trapeze gentleman into an insensible state with her bead.
WITH regard to Siam an fateresting circumstance has been recalled. In 1866 M, de Lanessan, then a French deputy, wrote a work which annexation and he practically advocated suggested various measures towards that end, He has afterwards appointed to a position to the Far East and stil is in power. In these days of rapid action the connection between the book and what is now occurring is not particularly Immediate, but colonization projects are not as faċile us map-making.
By way of response to the protests of the public at the lotolerable obstruction of the Praya Central, the authorities have allowed a full-blown Chinese theatre to be set up in a big matshed opposite the premises of Sheels & Co. and Carmichael & Ca, who apparently have bit on this highly objectionable method of attract ing customers.
