DELAYED DILAVERNS BY POST OFFICE. Hongkong Geness! Chamber of Commerce.

Hongkong, 28 January, 1898. Sir, I am directed by my Committee to call the attention of the Government to the unsails factory working of the Past Office Department, Complafata have reached this Chamber of great and apparently canselers delay in the deffrery of some at the malls and of the closing of others earlier than asual or than would appear to be necessary, to the serious faconvenience and lass of time to these engaged in business, Com plaints have also lately been made in the Press to the same effect, and my Comtaltize therefore beg leave to call the attention of the Goverd ment to this matter,

To give some cases in point. On the 4th inst, the M M. steamer Yarra, with the French mail from Europe, resched her buoy at 7 a.m. The delivery was announced to be begun at Boon, but the letters were not delivered until between I p.m. On the same day the M. M. steamer Salart, from Shanghai, anired and anchored at 2 pm. Her malls, however, werS not delivered until 7 p.m., and social hangs did not receive thele baga until after that hour.

It is particularly inconvo: lent for free clasing their mal's to Europe or America to be kept waiting for advices from the Narth, in some cases until a late hour, and even too late for the ou going mail, although it may be of great Ind- portance to them to save ft.

If the staff of the Post Office is inadequate for the work, and these late delays are the result of pressure, mp Committee beg respecially to suggest that it should be strengthened by the addition of extra sosters to provide for the con- Ingency of the arrival and departure of two mails on the same morning as is not infrequent- ly the case.

I am sivo instructed to bring to your notice the occitala character of the deliveries of local correspondenca. Letters posted for local de livery are often delayed an undue length of time and are frequently delivered at bosiders pre- mlser Instead of at the private houses to which they are actually addressed.

Trusing that this matter well receive the carly sttention of the Government,I have the 'honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, R. CHATTERTON WILCOX,

Secretary, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lecickart, Colonial Secretary.

DELIVERY OF JUDGMENT,

His Lordsbin the Chief Jasiler St J, W. Car- tington, Kt., C.M.Gt-day delivered jadgatent In the actos brought hy Mestre, D. Gubbär, A. J Raymond and Ä. J. David, on behalf of the Jewish community, against the Hop. E. R. Bell. lios, in regard to land alleged to have been pur- chased by defendant for alle for's Synagogue. The object of the soft was to hire fi declared | that "defendant purchased Inland Lot 1381 as trustee for and on behalf of plaintiffs and the other members of the Jewish Community of Hongkong and that ba now holds the same in trust for the plalallifind the Jewish community subject to the payment by them to him of the amount paid for the purchase thereof and the Interest thereon." There was a very large at-

tendance at the court during the delivery of the judgment, which occupied from to s.m. till a few minutes after noon. The judgment, with the cor respondencs, filled 74 closely written sheets of foolscap.

His Lordship Erst of all dealt with the objec tion ratred by Me. Pollock that the plaintifs bad no authority to sue on behalf of the Jewish community, and alter commenting on the circumstances he said he held that the objection could not prevail. Referring to the evidence, His Lordship sold that it was, both orally and ́documentary, volamicous, and in a considerable camber of Instance there was a conflict of statement between witnesses on either side. although as a whole such conflict was confined to matters of minor importance. He would nat analyse the evidence but merely state facts a1 be found them alter carefully considering the statements of both sides. He did not belleve that any witness on eliter atde and wifully endeavoured to mislead the Court, although, no doubt, some of them had made mistakes of fict. As a general observation he thought the ovidence of the witnesses for the defence waY

trust was

more confident and precise than that of the 'wildesses for the plaințiffs, the memory of rome of the latter being, often admittedly defectiva. It was alleged that defendant on the fall of❘ the hammer acquired the lot as a trustee for the Jewish community and it was con tended, not by specific lastrement but by im- plication from facix and declaimtors, that the constituted His Lordship then went into the history of the mavement to obixin a Synagogue and the reports of Messrs. Danby, Leigh, and Orange and Lemm as to the site and proposed building. The evidence regardleg the land was touched upon and also the application for it. In his letter to Mr. Cooper on October 3rd, 1893, asklag film to pat op certain lots for the use of the Hebrew com manity, His Lordship sid Mr. Bellos was acting as the avowed agent of the Jewish community and it was perfecily clear that the land was to be and for the erection of a Synagogue therein. It was then per-

THE "ALGERINE" ACCIDENT. In reference to the special telegram which reached us on Tburaday night and was published on Filday, we now have the following paragraph from the Shanghat Mercury of the 718 Inst., which explains the accident; "H.M.S. Algerins, when coming down river a few days grounded on mudbank, getting off shortly afterwards, however. On Baturday fast while toring round at Ningpo she came in contact with a junk, smashing one of her boats and landing her dinghy on the bows of the native craft. This morning she went loto dock at Tangkadoo for an overhaul." This would make - it appear somewhat telesal; but as our corres- pondent telegraphy that the false keel and tarboard bilge keel are gone, and the port bilge heel damaged, and the repairs will cost 3000, It is to be concluded that the stranding was wetre than it seemed. A court marital was held and Captain Domville and the navigating Heutenant were reprimanded,
