reason more people have not been probrusted is the difficulty of bringing home the guili to the real offenders. Plausible excuses are always forthcoming.. I was told in this case by your counsel that you were absent from your shop and were at Canton when these frauds were perpetrated and you state that what your counsel says is true. Such defence was not put forward or proved at the Police Court and no less than 186 tins of Farm Brand milk, with false Eagle Brand labels or, were found at your establishment at 255 Queens Road, as well as 12 doren more "in a store room at the back.

Your Counsel has elected not to call the accountant to prove it as in doing so he, the accountant would doubtless criminate himself.

THE "MORGAN CITY.”
THE RAISING OF THE VESSEL.
KOBE, September gth. The Mitsu Bishi Co., we hear, have obtained the contract to raise the Morgan City.
Yesterday the Captain of the forgan City, accompanied by a representative of Messrs, Browne & Co. at Nagasaki-arrived in Kobe and had an interview with Mr. Sim, who after wards left for the scene of the wreck in the Glapple. We understand that both the Glengyle and the Snowflake are to proceed to Onomichi.
It appears that it is the Tutegami-maru and not the Tateyama-maru, as previously reported, which was to proceed to the scene of the disaster to remove the troups to Nagasaki.
We learned that the troops left Invoshima at 5 o'clock yesterday morning on the Tategumi- maru for Nagasaki.. The ship's officers and crew, 62 in number, are still encamped on the beach:
The Nagasaki Press says that the U. S. authorities at Manila have decided to send the Ohio to carry the men to Manila, and she may be expected to arrive in a few days. The troops during their stay at Nagasaki will be housed and fed by Messrs. R. H. Fowers & Co.
