While the clerk of Court was reading the indictum for conspiracy murder Mr. Francis, Q.C, asked permission that the charge of murder should be proceeded with first, as there was no precedent that a misdemeanour which was merged into felony should be tried first. He contended that when the evidence of the conspiracy was based an the same facts and had regard to the same person as that on the charge of murder, the graver charge shoull be disposed of first. In support of this he quoted Lord Russell' on Urine, 1st Volume Chap. IX on "Conspiracy to Murder," citing a case in which some robbers and wilfully obtained a conviction against an innocent man, but were afterwards discovered and executed Their Lordships had always objected to hearing evidence on a minor charge when it actually embodied proof of a graver crime. There were strong objections to any other charges being associated with the charge

of murder.

His Lordship asked whether he under stool the learned Counsel to incan that the greater crime should be disposed of before the lesser is proceeded with.

OUR BOOK CASE.

"The Chinese Draina"--by William Stanton (Messrs. Kelly and Walsh, Ltd., Hongkong, Shanghai, Yokohama and Singapore).

Many must have felt regret when visiting the Chinese theatres, either at Hongkong, or else. where, that they were unable to follow what the players were trying to depict, and what with the terrible noise made by the band and the rot tuo salubrious surroundings few have decided to make the attempt by repeated visits, Mr. Stanton has stepped into the breah and has not only translated but has Anglicized a few of the

any power to decide.

Mr. Pollock said that considering the strong intimation that His Lordship had given of his opinion, he would proceed with the murder first.

The indictment for murder was then read out to the prisoners who pleaded "Not guilty."

The following gentlemen were sworn in as a special fury-Augusto J. Rozario, F. Carl, Paul Sachse, Geo. Th. Veith, Arthur H. Botten. heim, John Fr. Ch. Jebsen, Gershom Stewart, and Albert Denison. Mr. Francis Q.C. in- farmed His Lordship that he was appearing for the first and second pri- soners, and his friend Mr. Melbourne for the third.

not all, have in getting the slightest idea from. what we do see performed. It is not sufficient to have a good knowledge of the language, as the Chinese mode of thought and expression are so diametrically opposed to ours, and the absence of all scenery makes the task doubly hard. The author has grasped these difficulties and has tackled them with remarkable success. The book, which is advertised at a popular price, contains three plays, depicting the social historical, and religious life of the Chinese, and two poems, preceded by a short but full account of the history of the Chinese drama characters and charactistics of actors and many other things that the general public are unacquainted with. This is written in a nice, humorous style and use a vast amount of information compressed into a very small space. One passage as an example of the humour, we will quote. Speaking about the musicians, who have to spend seven years apprenticeship, the author says "reta foreigner listening to the orchestra night consider the time tasted."
