The. offence charged was for unlawfully furnish: ing a quantity of morphine to a person not a duly qualified practitioner, chemist, or druggist, etc. As the case Is to be re-heard we are, of course, precluded from dealing with it on its merits, but what we wish to bring out is why and on what reasonable grounds Mr. JOHN D. HUMPHREYS, the General Manager of the world-renowned Hongkong Dispensary, was not permitted to advocate the cause of his employé ? No doubl the presiding magistrate (Commander HASTINGS) was courtesy itself no doubt he had, if he cared to exercise it, being heard at all, and it speaks highly the right to prevent Mr. HuuPHREYS from for his discretion and manly ides of fairplay that he permitted so much of what the legal fraternity will regard as an infringement on their assumed prerogatives, and an unwarranted license.
