AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL

SHANGHAI, April 30th. The sun shone with a tempered brightness on the funeral of Sir Nicholas John Hannen yesterday, and on the official circumstance that did honour to his memory, And all Shanghai stood quietly in the streets or verandahs, oring one way or the other. That in itself is one of the most valuable gifts that any judge can looked from windows, as all that was mortal of its inte British Chief Justice passed flower have. To some extent it can be improved by training, but I think I may say that a judge, as laden to the last ceremony.

regards his frame of mind, is born not made, and that judical gift of calmness, and patient strength of mind, was one of Sir Nicholas Hadnen's brightest qualities. As a criminal judge we know that any prisoner brought be- fore him had that calin judical hearing, and that the rights of soceity were protected. Bu when Sir Nicholas was certain that the rights of society could be vindicated by a less sen- tence than a more hasty man might have in flicted, than he tempered-not justice, be cause it was justice-but he tempered judg; ment with mercy. His was a great personality and, like all men who are truly great he was capable of sinking himself entirely. We have

Early there were signs that something un usual was happening. The steels were we usually crowded with here and there among the passers the uniformed figure of a volunteer. At nine o'clock these volunteers concentrated

near the Custom Ilouse-Light Horse, Anil lery,A," "B," and German Companies, and also the French Volunteers--and fell in under the command of Lieut, and Adjutant Wedem- eyer. Theirs it was to lead the funeral proces. sion for most of its way, and they stood til the moment arrived. Meanwhile at the Chief Justice's residence the coffin was being placed on a hearse, the beautiful wreaths dis posed of, and the chief mourners and those who attended officially were preparing to move the first stage of the sad journey. Soon the waiting line on the Bund were brought attention, for the procession from the house had reached Kinking Road, and turned there un its way to the Trinity Cathedral. When it had passed out of sight the men were marched to use Rosi, and there, waited until the first part of the seivice should be over.

Inside the Cathedral the strains of Chopin's "Marche. Funébre" ushered in the coffin and its attendants. Lady Hamen and Miss Han- nen were present for a portion of the service, and then left for the Cemetery. The Rev. W. Gilbert Walshe officiated, and there were also present the Rev. C. J. F. Symons, the Rev. F. L. Hawks Polt, and the Rev. Henry Dalzelf, chaplain of H.M. S. Hermione. In the chancel were mourners, while the body of the Cathedral was filled with those attending oficially and the general public. Two psalms were sung by the full choir, a portion of the funeral service was read, the hymn "Nearer my God to thee" was given, after which the Rev. W. Gilbert Walshe delivered a touching address.

After this came the remainder of the funeml service, ami the hymn "Abide with me."

As those within the church re-formed in their appointed order, the Volunteers without, head el by the band, moved off to take the head of the cortège. The wail of the "Dead March" from "Saul" set the time for the slow march at which they turned into the Maloo. It was then, as the long procession passed through crowds of Europeans 60 either side, that disposition could best be seen. Kirst came the Volunteers, English, German and French, and after them the gun carriage, with its sad bur- den, on either side of which walked a party of marines from H.M.S. Hermione. The chief mourners, in carriages, came next, and then a large body of sailors from the Hermione and the warships of the other Powers in port, fol- lowed by naval and military officers; the representatives of the Bar and representatives of the French Municipal Council, the Cosmoplitan Council and the Imperial Maritime Customs, and the Chinese authorities. The various Foreign Consulates united is doing honour to the late Chief Justice and amongst the accu- pants of carriages in the cortege were the representatives of Russi, Portugal, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and all the other nationalities. The Consular officers were in full uniform and many of them personally conveyed handene wreaths. H.S. Fermi one landed 125 bluejackets and 18 marifies, the whole

being under the command of the Ist Lieut. Goodenough. The eight marines who carried the coffin

again. The Volunteers and sailors entered the gate of the cemetery, and lined the path to the chapel door. Through these lines the remainder of the procession passed, and as many of them as could find room-entered the chapel. The service was here concluded, Lady Hannen and Miss Hannen again being present, and finally there came the journey home, on foot for the Volunteers, in vehicles for others. Nothing could have been more impressive that the reading of the service and the delivery of the address by Mr. Walshe....

THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE BAR.

On Saturday morning a brief, but none the less impressive, ceremony took place in H.B.M.'s Supreme Court when the members of the Shanghai Bar, through the Crown Ad- vocate, placed on record their sense of the loss sustained through the death of Sir Nicholass Hannen.

Shortly after half-past "ten Mr.

felt that in Court, we have felt that is all auf S.

our dealings with him as friends-that justice and right were what he desired to do, and that he never thought how it might strike the out side public, what he did. He did what he thought was just and right, and never thought of himself in the matter at all. There is a part of his work where we, the members of the Bar, came into closer connection with him, a work which the public perlups hear of occa sionally but know Bule of that, is, his work in chambers. There we all well remember his nimble wit, that ready reference to a report, that quick seizure of suggestion, and above all those few quiet words with which he used when he thought it necessary, to allay a discussion which might because we are all human--be- come heated, but which was not leading to any issue in the case. Sir Nicholas Hannen's work in chambers was of more value, to the public than they might be aware of A just judge and a righteous Court are useful not only in deciding on the cases which come before them, but are perhaps more useful as an. institution which, by its presence, often renders useless litigation unnecessary. Many a man who | might have taken advantage of his neighbour, I have no doubt knew that if he came before Sir Nicholas Hannen' the case would be decided so impersonally, so impartially, and so fairly, that he thought again before taking action. That benefit to the community of a strong judge is one on which the greatest weight should always be placed. There is a further part of

which I think it is his work which I know,

my duty to refer because we all of us who practise here have experienced his kindness in that direction, muinely, while he was Consul General as well as Chief Justice. It is not the place for me to refer to political matters, present or past, but I thinle the members of the Bar will agree with me in recognising the courteous but firm altitude which Sir Nicholas Hannen adopted on many important questions. The courtesy and firmness which, he used I know the native authorities will appreciate and remember, for they were of the greatest service to them: Sir Nicholas Hannen as Chief Justice of this Court had a task more difficult, even than the task of many a judge in Courts at home, where there has been a longer list of precedents, and where discussion was not so much needed. By the Orders in Council many things are left to the discretion of the judge in this Court which at home would be practically passed down by precedent. I think I am right, and I think 1 ain voicing the feeling of the Bar when I say that we cannot point to any case where that large discretion has not been carefully and wisely used. There is one part of the busy life which Sir Nicholas led which-1-think we should refer to-for he was a busy man, one of those busy men who by quiet application and ability do their work without much outside show. That part of his work are his dispatches and letters to legations and various provincial Courts. Maay a Consul and many a vice-Consul, when heard of Sir Nichola's death doubtless thought at once, of those kind, strong letters which have perhaps saved them from trouble with their equals or superiors-though I hope Jose letters are few-letters which enabled the man to deal with a difficulty as regards his fellow subjects or other nations. These he has sent, and they have been acted upon more, perhaps, than anyone has any idea of Sir Nicholas for the last year-soine of us have noticed-has been suffering at times, and through it all he insisted on carrying on his work in this Court. We know that it was his wish to leave this Court with no arrears and with many till then disputed points of practice settled. We know that he has done it. He has died with no arrears. I think that his family would not mind my mentioning that one of his last acts was to try to rise to come to his work in this Court. He has been called from this Court to a higher one, from which there is no appeal. He has indeed gons home,

Mr. If, P. Wilkinson (Crown Advocate) said -Your Lordship, on behalf of the members of the Bar of this Court, present and absent, 1 pray that heartfelt-sympathy be conveyed to Lady Hannen, her son and daughters, in their bereavement and soirow. We have lost a chief, we have lost a friend; and this Court, and all Her Britannic Majesty's subjects and indeed all those who have business with Her Majesty's subjects--have lost a wise, good, and just judge, a lawyer of sound learning, a man with a legal mind, one with a gift which amounted to intuition as to what were the rights and wrongs of case when it was, laid before him, and one whose special gif was his knowledge of the law of evidence. What must have struck your Lord ship, what has, I know, struck any of us who have practised in this Court, and who are yet here, or who have gone elsewhere, was his wonderful knowledge of business. The late Chief Justice was a man whom nothing escaped, who took a note of everything and it was especially remarkable in commercial cases, how the counsel on either side in their openinge and deamination of witnesses were, to the outsider, explaining commercial usages, but they were only really informing the judge of what he himself knew from his long residence in the East, and from his keen interest in all that took place around him.
