FORMOSAN AFFAIRS,
"There be land rate and water ræls; waler thieves and land thlover," wrote Shakespeare some three centuries ago, and his words apply with marked appropriateness to Hongkong to-day, where pillering from ships would appear to be a very lxvrurile and lacralive operation with a portion of the Roating Chinese popula. tion.

surely this is a most goreasonable view. The law to which out contemporaries refer was, we belleve, passed in the early years of Melji and forbade Japanese to sell or mortgage their land to foreigners, but, if any foreigner had at that' time been in the possession of landed property to Japan, the law could hardly hava been of retrospective effect.

THE OPIUM REGULATIONS.
The Formora Oplum Regulations, says the Japan Mall, were to be enforced from the 1st Apill in districts where the police authority is thoroughly organized. The population of the locallites where the Regulations were put in operation, being only 150,000, does not excred one-seventeenth of the whole populate of the island, which may be supposed to aggregate 2,5000. Oplum smakern ate 15,123 in sam ber, while the amount of oplum transported from the manufactorles is as follows:-

It is an interesting feature in the history of courts-martial that the King, whose disregard of ali covenantı between kirveli and his subjects cost him his throne and eventually his life, should have been the first to codify rules for the better government of his army. The modern form of court-martial was adopted by an ordi- nance under the hand and seal of Charles the First, and received statatory recognition in the Mary. Since this Act many ordinances have been passed relating to the powers andeansthatlon ol courts-muridel, culminating in the Army Act of 1881. The trial of the Militia, Yeomanry, and Volunteers, in those cases where they fall ander the jurisdiction of military law, is provided for by "The Regulation of the Forces Act, 1871," and "The Volunteers Act, 1861," Though the jurisdiction of courts martial is not confiied to purely military offences, yet in all offences other than these s jurisdic- tlon over soldiers is subordinate to that of the civil courts. The Mutiny Act provides that soldiers charged with the commision of crimes against the peace shall be de livered up to the magistrate for trial, accord- lag to the ordinary civil law of the land. If the nature of their offence does not demand expulsion from the service, at the fermication of their punishment they are reinstated in the regi ment, though soffertog the loss of such promotion as their former good conduct may bave procured them. In mary parlance, they are reduced to the ranks. Officers tried lo the ordinary civil courts of Justice may thereafter bottled by court- maridal, and, if found guilty, cashiered.
