(From Shanghai Papers.)

SHANGHAI SUPREME COURT.

An Illegal Bill of Sale.

JUDGMENT.

SHANGHAI, 2nd October,' 1899. His Lordship said:' In this suh I have to decide as to the validity of Bill of Sale dated 4th July 1899, granted by H. D. Patch, since deceased, in favour of A M, A. Evans. This bill of sale purports to be an absolute convey. ance of personal chattels in consideration of a past debt. It assigns "all and singular the stock in-trade, furniture and household effects in or about the Shanghai Brewery aforesaid and which are in the possession of the said H. D. Patch"There is no schedule or inventory attached. This Bill not being given as security for money is governed by the Bills, of Sale Act 1878 which does not requére an inventory, and in England it might in regard to this point of an inventory be a good, bill. Bac in China the Order in Council of 1881 lays 'down in an im- pemtive manner (see sec. 28(3) that every Bill of Sale must have annexed thereto or written there under an inventory of the chattels intended to be comprised therein, otherwise the bill is void in China as far as regards chattels omitted from the inventory. It was argued for the defendant that the statule must override the Order in Council "and that wo"inventory being requirett—lEng- land there need be none here. With this I can- not agree. The Legislature makes known its commands to British subjects in China by viders Imbrunch teened by Her Majesty en- der the authority of the Foreign Jurisdiction Acts. The order of '1865 lays down that the Court is to administer as far as circumstances admit, the law for the time being in force in and for England, that is for my present purpose the Biff of Sale Act 1578 by which there need be no inventory; but the Onler of 1881, enacts specifically that a bill of sale without an in- ventory is void. I think we must look first to the more particular and then in the more general command, that is to say that the law in China in regard to bdis of sale is to be gathered first from the terms of the order of 1891 which deals specifically with that subject and then in addition thereto and in so far as may not be inconsistent therewith, from the statutes. This is therefore a bad bill. But Mr. Platt argued that even if the bill were void as against third parties it was not void as against the grantor ar the administrator of the estate. Void means destitute of legal effect; if the Legislature bad intended to except the grantor this would have been done explicitly as afterwards in the Bills of Sale Act of 1882 where in secs. 4 and 5.4 bill is made void "except as against the grantor." The administrator has the same property in the personal effects as the deceased and the same power to bring actions to recover them. "This bill of sale is therefore void as against the administrator. The effect of this judgement will be that the assets of the estate, which the defendant believed to be protected by this document, fell under the injunction of 28th September 1899 The plantiff is to have his taxed costs. I have tried this case as Assistant Judge and a acting Chief Justice in order to give the defendant the right of appeal to the Chief Justice on his return from vacation..

A Just Sentence.

At the Mixed Court on Oct 2nd, before Mr. S. F. Mayers (British Assessor) and Mr. Weng (Magistrate), the man charged on Friday with attempting to drown a little girl by holding her head downwards in a pool of water near.

h the Mixed Conrt was again brought up. Mr. George of the Waterworks Company who was the means of obtaining the scoundrel's arrest said that the unfortunate child must have been held under at least three minutes before he was able to rescue her. Inspector Bourke informed the Court that in this particular pool there was at least ten feet of water. Prisoner, a callous looking wretched, was sentenced to receive joo blows, a month's cangue and be deported.

The Opening of Tallenwan. The official announcement of the opening of Talienwan: as a free port, under the new name of Dalny, has not attracted much at- tention in the Russian capital, and of the principal journals the Viedourosti alone has hitherto devoted an article to the subject. Prince Ouchtomsky's rorgan expresses the opinion that the step now taken will lend important aid to the accomplishment of the various objects with which the Great Siberian Railway and its associated enterprises have been initiated. The management of the Men- churian railways and of the new port being in the same hands those of Chinese Eastern Railway Company-will make both for efficiency and for economy, while the opening of the port to the commerce of all nations alike should attract merchants and their capital from all parts of the world. Care must taken to give an exclusively Russian character to the management, and the establishment of the Easter Institute at Vladivostock, which is to be opened this autumn, and which will provide, instruction in the languages and customs of the Eastern peoples, and in the principles of commercial and political science, will help towards the attainment of this end.

The anaunt cricket match between Teams selected from England and Scotland which took place on the ground of the S.O.C. on Saturday afternoon resulted in a victory for England a result mainly due to the excellent batting of Tyack whese 93 not out was a most capable exhibition of all round hitting. The Scotchmen fell to pieces before the bowling of Jackson and Mann and but for the valuable assistance of Mr. "Extras" their total would have been sadly whittled.

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious dis

cases.

In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.

THERAPION No. z, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the sufferer's teeth and ruin of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.

THERAPION No. 3, for nervous exhaustion, waste of vitality, and all the distressing con. sequences arising from early error, excess, residence in hot, unhealthy climates, &c. It posseses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.

THERAPION may be procured at 2/9 and 4/0 per T

package, of the principal Chemists and Merchants throughout the world. In ordering, the purchaser should state which of the three numbers he requires, and observe that the Word THERAPION" appears on the Govern ment, Stamp (in white letters on a red ground)" affixed to every genuine package by order of Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and with- out which it is a forgery.
