SINGULAR DEATH OF MR.
BROCKBANK..
+-----་
At the Yokohama British Consular Court a coroner's Ingalty' was opened on the goth witime concerning the death of Mr.Herbert William Brockbank, whose sudden death wo have previously briefly reported. Dr. Edwin Wheeler and Dr. N G. Munro in their evidenca depored that the state of decomposition was auch when they made their examination of the exhumed body that it was impossible to form any absolute. opinions to the cause of death.
Dr. Swann, medical officer of, the, steamer- -Hankow, who had attended the deceased a low days heinre his death, was examined at great Teh. Witness was asked to see the patleat by Dr. Mumo. A Mr. Hoshfoo, in whose haute the deceased was lying, Informed him that Mr. Brockbank had been up to Miyano. shits and had gt "on the spree-drinking beavily and that he, Hoshino, bad brought him to his own place at Shojl. Hoshing said that a doctor at Miyanoshita had told him that unless deceased was taken away from Miyan shita he would soon drink himself to death. Hoshina said he had great trouble in bringing the deceased to Stoji, and that he (deceased) had neatly died on the way. Hoshino described to witness the condition in which Brockbank was then lying. When he arrived at the deceased's room he found that the door was locked. Hoshino explained this by saying that he had locked the door so as to prevent the Japanere seeing Brockbank in his present condition. On the door being opened, the stench coming from the room was something awal. The deceased was lylog naked on the bare floor, quite delirious. No covering
of
any sort was near. Witness described his treatment of the case, and added that just before he left Yokobama Hothloe informed him that the deceased was going on all right and that there was no necessity for paying a visit that morning, When be received a letter next morning saying that Mr. Brockbank was dead he certainly thought the death suspicious.
Mr. C. D. Moss, chief clerk of H.B.M. Court, deposed that he knew that the deceased had lent money to Hoshine-as much as Groo ata time. Latterly the deceased and "Hosking frequently gairrelied orar money matters. Witness produced a letter-written by Dr. Basis stating that Hoshino had taken Mr. Brockbank to Shoji in spite of all his warnlugu. A para graph to the letter -
As you know the poor fellow's family, I must say I do not like the way in which M. Hoshino takes charge of all money matters of Mr. Brock biak. The latter has lent Mr. Heshino 4,000 yan, and he may, in bla present helpless and witerly irresponsible state, be induced to give more money for things which he does not in the least understand."
Witness said he had also been informed that whlie he was taking him to Shojl, Hoshino took Away deceased's money and jewellery and left bim to travel alone for nine hours, entirely with out fond or help.
After other evidence of the kind had been taken the Inquest was adjourned for week.-Kobe Chronicla..

COLONEL DINHY'S WITHDRAWAL.

A SQUADEL
Yesterday a squabble took place between some of the sailors belonging to the Japanese man-of-war Chokat and some Chinese. It appears the mafoo employed by the manager of the German bank wanted to throw some cubbish into the river close to the Chokaf, but the sentry belonging to that veraci, stationed on the Bund, would not allow him, and ordered him off. He refused to go when the sentry went to force bim away. The maton picked up a stone and threw it at the sentry. One of the sallors saw him and was about to calch hold of him, when the mafoo snatched away the sailor's cap and ran into the back-yard of the bank with it, The sailor gave chase and caught the mafoo in the yard, where more sailors joined him and dragged bim to the ship. His queue, being the most bandy thing, they used for this purpose. The malso got somewhat injured and lost part He was eventually handed over to bir master a of his tall, which he declared the sailors cut off. marked, but, let me hope, a wisɛe man. Mr. Messing, the manager of the bank, made a com- plaint to the German Cousal. The latter gentle. man called on the Japaness Coneal. These were jolted, by request, by the captain of the Chokal, and they talked the matter over. It was decided that the captain of the Japanese man-of-war should look into the matter. The sailor pleaded he was not aware that the Chinaman was a mafoo belonging to the German bank, and that he simply ran into the yard to get his cap that was snatched from his head. It ended by the captain stating he was sorry for what had occurred, and the malso was given a small sum as a salve for his hurts and broken tail, and so the matter ended. At the time of the squabble our active Inspector of Police and his men were soon gathered near the scene of the trouble, for It looked at one time as though matters were becoming serious, much excitement prevalling amongst the Chinese. All's well that ends well |
11
But at the same time, a close inspection of the actual circufastances relating to the recent increase of banks lends the. Chugal Shogy to make a few observations by way of warning to the public in general and to the parties concerned in particular. Our contemporary perceives that the recent increase of banks has taken place in places which already enjoy sufficient backing cities and not places where they are still wa ting. Thus the result of the rapid increase which is now going on in the number of banks, instead of remedying the present inequality of the rates of interest in different parts of the countryan evil which is much talked of bat which still continues-may, it is feared, result in rainous competition between banking estab- shments. Our contemporary then goes on to explain at length the varfons consequences of such a competiifon, but we do not think it worth while to refer to these polats, Suffice it to say that the warning raised by’If jeems to us to be timely and important.
