Then it was said that by the operation of section 18 of the Probates Ordinance, 1897, by which it is enacted that" From and after the decease of any person dying intestate and until administration is granted in respect of his estate, the estate of such deceased person shall be vested in the Official Administrator," there was in existence a person, namely, the Official Administrator, who could, immediately on the death of the deceased, have sued for an account of his partnership dealings with the appellants,

Agency Co, Ltd. Administrator but in the Registrar of the Supreme Court No right to apply for and obtain letters of administration was conferred upon the Registrae, and it was clearly con- templated by the Ordinance that such right should devolve either upon the Official Admini strator or upon a private person. On inquiry I learn that the practice under section 39 of the Ordinance of 1860 was for the Registrar 10 take possession of the deceased, intestate's property, and to hold it until the Official Administrator or some privaté person had taken out letters of administration. I am therefore Sir John Carrington, C.M.G. of opinion that, upon the death of the deceased
J. Orange.... taking place, there was no person in existence Dr. W. Hartigan in which the right to institute a suit for a part-E. S. Whealler nership account on behalf of his estates was vested and consequently that the statute did not begain to run on his death.
In the last place it was said that the case of Monckion v. Payne [1800] 29 B 603, was a clear authority in favour of the appellants; that it was not consistent with Murry v. The East India Company; and that the Court.must chonse between the two cases. Monckton v. Payne was tried by Lord Justice Smith, shing
of Queen's Bench Division withi as a judge he can in it were as follows out a jury The lord of a manor was entitled to an arbit rary fine on the admittance of a tenant to copy. hold. The fine was to be fixed, by the lord himself, but was not to exceed two years' annual value of the copyhold. On the 5th April, 1892, the defendant was admitted a copy hold tenant of the manor. In February, 1898, the lord assessed the-fine at the sum of £24, which was admitted to be a reasonable amount and on the 2nd September, 1898, à deruand for this amount was made on the defendant. The fine not having been paid, an action was brought to recover it, the writ being issued on the 13th April, 1899. The Statale of Limitations-3 and 4 Will 4, 43, s. 3 (1)--was relied on ns a désence. On these facts the learned Judge said that the plaintiff's contention amounted to this," that the plaintiff bad power to postpone the operation of the statue as long as he chose, and that the period of limitation was not to begin to run in the tenant's favour until the lord had thought fit to make the assessment and demand, which he might postpone at his will for any length of time", Bul Lord Justice Smith refused to adopt this view, and held that in such a case Raghat the cause of action was the admittance, and the statue at once began to operate. Accordingly be gäve judgment for the de: fe dant,

It merely affirmed that, in the particular circumstances of the case, the lord of the manor, a person in existence and capable of asserting that right, could not by his own act be allowed to defeat the operation of the statutes on that right,
Two other observations to the same effect on this point may be made. One is that in Monckton v. Payne the case of Murray v.

THE " TAMBA MARU” CASE, In the Yokohama Chiha Saibansho bnth instant before Judge Sato and Assistant Judges Odamura and Shinagawa, the appeal of Ume seko Toyomatst, quarterinster of the Tamba Maru, against his conviction on a charge of biting Mr. Kent, late fourth officers of the sume steamer, was beant. The Procurator asked for confirmation of the sentence of five days' detention. Judgment was reserved until the 9th instant;
-THE "PANDORA."
At a time when all the Powers are designing cruisers of 23-knot speed the floating of the Pandara, after being two years-under cons- truction at Portemoth, does not, says the: Naval and Military Review.inspire much enthusiasm, for at the best she can only be a 20-knot vessel. She draws six inches, more than the Japanese Takasage, though the respective displacements are 2,200 and 4,160 tons. Thus, if the Pandora cannot enter shoal water, if they are wet boats in a heavy seaway, and have a 20 knat speed against the Japanese ships' 23, it is difficult to discover what special advantages they offer. In point of armament the disparity telfs, even more seriously against us, for while the Paudorn carries ginch and eight 3-pounder quick-firing guns, the Takasago mounts two 8 inch, ten 47-inch, twelve 12 pounder, and six 23 pounder quick firing guns. And whereas the English ship has bunker capacity for 350 tuns, the Japanses vessel.can stow Soo tous. Theoretically the Pandora ought to be an immeasurably superior sea boat to the Takasago, but experience with the Pelorus class has not done much to support the theory,

LAND OWNERSHIP IN FORMOSA.
A notification has been issued to the effect that | and in the possession of Formosan aborigines may not be acquired by any outsider, Japanese subject or other, without the special permission of the Governor-Genemigunder pain of fine and imprisonment. This veto is necessitated by the habits of the aborigines. They have no idea of settling on a farm, their custom being to cultivate a plot of land so long as it suits their convenience or their fancy, and then to transfer their labour to some other district. The consequence is that tracts of land change hands for some paltry consideration, and it appears that designing persons have been tak ing advantage of this peculiarity to get pas session of large areas,
EIN AND GREAT BRITAIN.
A Tokyo newspaper publishes a statement that at the New Year's Audience in Peking on the 2nd of February not a single member of the British Legation put in an appearance. This very conspicuous abstention was attributed. to the action of the Chinese Government in giving to a Belgian syndicate a railway con: cession previously promised to a combined Anglo-Italian syndicate. It is suggested that the reverses experienced by the British arms in South Africa have inspired a feeling of contempt for England among the Chinese, and that they are disposed now to flout her, not being with out incitement from other quaiters to de-s0. That is not unlikely. It is much easier to lose prestige than to gain it, but China is scarcely in a position to presume upon England's tem porary difficulties.

RIOT IN KOREA.”
Two thousand Korean rioters are said to have attacked a party of Japanese at Chuk-san in Kying-kwido, Korea. Two of the Japanese were wounded and two are missing. The de- tails are not yet reported.
THE JAPANESE NAVAL MANŒUVRES.
The naval manceuvres, which commence at the close of this month, are evidently to be on an unprecedented scale. Every available ship is to take part in them, and we read that all operations connected with mobilization will be carefully performed, even the dockyards being required to muster af hands and engage in re- pairwork day and night. It is expected that the whole affair will last about a month, but the Authorities have decided that newspaper correspondents and the public in general shall be excluded-Japan Mall,

A GURIOUS CHARITY AT WOTTON.
One of the most curious cliarities in Surrey has just been distributed in the village of Wotton. In 1718 a resident named William Glanville died, leaving a will which directed that he should be buried in the churchyard "six yards underground;" and that 40r, apiece Thould be paid annually to five poor boys, of the parish, who, on the anniversary of his death, with their hands laid on his gravestone, should repeat by heart the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and the Commandments, read i Cor. XV., and write two verses of the chapter. Lately the number of boys participating in the charity has been increased from five to seven. This year sixteen boys offered to compete, but only eleven attended,,. The first seven were successful, and the unsuccessful boys were each presented with half a crown, while the five non-competitors received two shillings each.
