My present mission is not con. sected with this, beyond the fact that, on our return journey we expect to inspect the system thoroughly. He is very anxious to encourage American capitalists to invest in sad run rall- roads over there. At present there are only about eighty miles of ralliand in the entire country, although it is now propored to con- struct a road from Shanghai to Gensan, a distance of twelve miles, with local capital. The report that concessions had been granted for a road from Peking to Hankow is absolutely without foundation, and I know that the permit which was granted to Mr. R. Jefterds was absequently quished. Neither is there any huth in the tumented concession to French and German cspitallats.

Before Mr. Justice Hawkins on Friday an action was tried, ""Nall v. Davies," in which

the plaintiff, an East India and China merchant, sought damages for libel in a letter written by the defendant commenting on the conduct of the plaintiff in taking proceedings to recover his fees as a director of the Atlante Gold and Silver Consolidated Mining Company. The jury stopped the case and gave a verdict for the defendant. His Lordship said he was surprised that a man should have the impudence and audacity to bring such an action.

Of forward settlements, the La Schepp, zaled 20th March from New York for Yokokama, lu reported to load at Kabe and/or this port for New York, terms private.

Sir Francis Jeane, in giving judgment, said it was quite clear that the damage to the boilers and furnaces was not due to the collision.

Therefore, as that damage was not due to the collision, demurrage could not be claimed for the time the repairs were being effected.

Hoa. H. E. Pollock said the petition was presented to the Court on the 25th April and he appiled for it to be granted and that the form of minute proposed to be registered be approved by the Court, and for directions under Rale 91 of Ordinance 30 of 1886. The application was made under Section 11 of Ordinance of 1887, which was as follows:-"& Company which has passed a special resolution for reducing its capital may apply to the Court by petition for an order confirming the reduction, and on the hearing of the petition the Court, it satisfied that with respect to every creditor of the Company who, ander the provisions of this Ordinance, is entitled to object to the reduction, elther his consent to the reduction has been claim has been obtained, or bir dabt or received us hereinafter provided, may make an order confirming the reduction on such terms and subject to such conditions as it deems fit The petition in the case was dated in Japan, 16th March, 1896, and signed by Mr. Lowder and Mr. Johnson, two of the directors of the Company. The petitios set forth that the Com- pany was incorporated in 1888 and the band offices were at go, Queen's Road Central, Heng Long. The capital of the Company was $130,000, divided into 1,300 shares of $100 each. Thiu year certain resolutions were paid ad chat firmed empowering the reduction of the capital of the Company from $130,000, divided into 1,300 of $100 each, to $65,000, divided into 1,300 by naturing to the holders of 1,300 fully shares of $50 each, such reduction to be effected paid up shares the

sum of $30 per share and by reducing the nominal amount of the shares from $100 to $50 each. Counsel then put in affidarlie showing that the Company had no debis, with the exception of employés3 current wages, and there was sufficient money in the bank to cover these liabilities.

This, then, being the state of the English law on the object, let us inquire whether a different rule of practice prevails in this Court. Mr. Francia, who conducted the case on beball of the Crown, stated, on the argament of the motion, that the practice of the Court had been to allow a joinder of counts in cases of this kind. I have caused the records of the Court to be searched as far back as the year 1869, and it appears that during that period there have been only two cases in which two or more, persons have been charged in the information for perjury.
