NOTES AND COMMENTS.
De Wet,
According to Reuter, De Wer 'was es pected to have surrendered by the 11th instant, but the telegram which we publish to-day does not give one the impression that that crafty leader is at the present time busily looking for a British force to which he can hand over his sword, or whatever other wes pon he carries,
For our own part we hope that even if DE WET does surrender he will not be let off too lightly. If one half of the reports of atrocities committed by him are true, and we have no reason to.suppose that they are not, then DE WET can only be regarded as a common brigand and murderer who richly deserves hanging. However, affairs in South Africa are now in the. hands. of Lord KITCHNER and he is notons to let DE WET down too lightly. If he were allowed to go scot free it would be placing a premium upon crime.
REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. BRITISH SOUTH AFRICA. DE WET.
LONDON, March 11th, De Wet is believed to be to the West of Kroonstadt and intending to cross the railway castward. The only Boers now in Cape Colony are Kritzingero's and Scheeper's Commandoes, which are pressed between Gorringe's and De Lisle's columns in the Murraysburg district.
NO RESISTANCE TO OPERATE AGAINST.
It is now almost impossible to operate against De Wet in his own country and with his force dissolving into infinitesimal parties when pressed.

ONE of the most charming wedding presents
which the Queen of Holland has received was given by two little children who were admitted to the place at The Hague carrying a basket. When in the presence of Queen Wilhelmina the girls opened the basket, which contained two lovely white doves, with the ubiquitous orange ribbon tied round their necks. The royal bride graciously accepted the gift and gracefully thanked the small donors thereof.
Now that Madame Petit, has been admitted to the French Bar, 1 suppose next we shall sec French lady judges, says the editor of the Lady's Pictorial. England as yet is without its first qualified Lady Lawyer, and we are scarcely likely to copy our neighbour's example at present. But though I never heard yet of a lady lawyer, I remember one recorded instance of a woman acting as judge. As it was under Honry VIII, perhaps there was some excuse for it. Lady Anne Barkely, of Yate, in Gloucestershire, had appealed to the King to punish a party of riotets, who had broken into her park, killed the deer and fired the forage. Henry thereupon granted to her and others a special commission to try the offenders. Lady Anne-armed with this high authority 'opened a court, and empanelled a jury. They could not be so ungallant as to defeat her ladyship, and a verdict of guilty was entered, upon which Portia her ladyship pronounced sentence. pleaded, but she never went so far as to occupy. the judge's bench. ROME has the distinction of possessing the first feminine lawyer of haly, in the person of Signorina Teresa "Labriola, says a Daily Telegraph correspondent. She has just passed her last examination with honours, and is now a full-fledged lawyer, but has not inscribed herself among the advocates, as she does not desire to champion the "new woman," but to devote herself to the philosphy of law. taking her degres she addressed a commission of the University of Rume for three hours, really putting the reverend doctors to the blush by her deep knowledge of her subject and delighting them with her cloquence. She now lectures' at the University altogether with her father and brother: She is the first woman in Italy to take the degree of Doctor-in-Law in modem times, although in the Middle Ages feminine professors of medicine were by no means few. Signorina Labriola is German on her mother's side and Italian on ber father's, so is fully imbued with German science, and is already a well-known writer on scientific subjects.

IT is recorded by historians that a Lord Chancellor of England was decapitated and a Chief Justice of Ireland assassinated. No Law Lord has as yet been consumed by fire. But Lord Davey was within measurable dis- tance of this uncomfortable fate not many days ago. It happened in this wise: There is in the "Prince's Chamber" in the House of Lords a
large fireplace, protected by a tall fender. The latter is topped by a rail, upon which it is the natural instinct of politicians to seat them- selves. Lord Davey, according to the account of eye-witnesses, was poised upon this piece of furniture in apparent security and comfort, when, without cry or word of warning he fell backwards on to the blazing coals. Hap pily help was at once forthcoming. Lord Shand and the Lord Chancellor, whose pre: sence of mind did not forsake them for a moment, rushed to the assistance of their. colleague, and were able to rescue him from MR. R. D. Ormsby, Director of Public Works, his disagreeable position before much harm Messrs: James McKie and J, H. Lewis left for had been done. But Lord Davey's injuries England yesterday by the China..

We have received the following letter from the Consulaat Generaal der Nederlanden in Zuid-
China
With reference to my letter dated 21st December, 1900, No. 832, I have the honour to inform you that all ships arriving from Hong- kong in the ports of Netherlands-India are also subject to quamntine regulations on account of small.pox.
MIGHT we venture to suggest to the P.W.1. officials that a few coolies might be set to work at levelling up Chater and Garden Roads, Kow- Toon. At present these throughfares remind one more of a switchback railway track than anything else. The concrete of the roads by the Godowns is also badly cut up in places by the tram lines and should be repaired before some bicycle or ricksha comes to grief.
APPARENTLY the Star Ferry Co. will have to strengthen Fedder's Wharf if they want their boats to get alongside. Yesterday afternoon one of the double-enders, after making a couple of bad shots at the pier, tried to warp in and promptly pulled a bollard out, the heavy bit of timber snapping clogg, to the wharf like a carrot. We fancy if iron screw piles were put in for bellards they would be cheaper in the fong run.
WE were asked the other day why some public companies, etc., publishing the dates of their meetings, say "at 12 o'clock noon," and others simply "at noon." The dictionary says noon menns 12 o'clock mid-day, the time when the sun is in the meridian, from Lat, noma kora, ninth hour.
Therefore 12 o'clock noon"
TRIAL TRIP OF THE “ BAINAM."
The trial trip of this Salam took, placé. yesterday. She is a sister ship to the Nanning whose, trial we reported soms time ago. The two vessels are owned by a syndicate consist ing of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, the Indo-China Navigation Company and the Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company. They are built of steel and spo cially designed for light draft. The depth of immersion on the trial of the Sainam was 3 f and the loaded draft is to be only 4 ft, carrying 150 tons of cargo and several hundred passen- gers.
Messrs, Geo. Fenwick and Company, Ltd, who have built and engined the vessels, have kindly supplied the following particulars.
The length over all is 168 feet, breadth 31 feet, and depth of huki 8 feet. The machinery is compound surface condensing, diameter of cylinders 18 inches and 38 inches, and length of stroke & feel. The boiler is of sicel, to Borid of Trade rules, for a working pressure of 120lbs. All the usual appliances are fittest for a boat of this class; steam windlass, electric lighting throughout, sanitary tanks and pumps, and everything necessary for a first class passenger steamer.
During the trial the engines worked very smoothly, the speed attained being 91, knots with natural, and to knots with forced draft.
There is an extensive promenade deck and well furnished berths for foreign passengers on the saloon deck aft accommodation, for first class Chinese with a separate salcon for woaten. On the main or lower deck, extensiva accommodation is given to third class pas- sengers, who also have the benefit of a rice promenade each side of the vessel Separate cooking houses are fitted, one with rice boilers and a stove for natives and lie other with a European range. The crew is berthed forward. A large number of guests were present at the trial, amongst whom we noticed His Excellency the Governor (Sir Henry Blake, G.c...), Messrs. R. F. Johnston, Cruickshank (Govern ment Surveyor. New South Wales), W. Poate, Sinclair, and W. Ramsay, (all of Messrs. Butter- field and Swire) W. J. Gresson, E. C. Emmett, Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Co.) Anderson, (Capt.) F. G. Goddard, Hewitt, T. Yula, (Hong kong Canton and Alacao Steamboat Co.) A. Rodger (chairman, Messrs. Fenwick and Com- pany), W. Parlane (director, Messrs. Fenwick and Company), W. G. Winterbara (manager, Messrs. Fenwick and Company), D. Harvey and J. J. Andrew of Messrs Fenwick and Com pany) Capt. Branch.
The vessel steamed to Stonecutter's Island and beyond, when the helm was put hard over and a beautiful turn was made. On the journey. a speed of nine and a quarter knots was main tained, which shows very satisfactory working. The builders supplied refreshments in the saloon and the following toasts were proposed. to the Mr. Parlane proposed "Success Sainam." He trusted the boat would be successful and profitable craft to her enter- prising owners, enterprising because as they knew, these two ships ware pioneers of com merce on the inland waterways of the Kwang- tung province. He also hoped that they were merely the first of a Bee which Messrs. Fen- wick and Company might have the honour of They had tried to make a good job of them building for the same owners. (Hear, hear.) and they hoped they would be a success. They would always take a deep interest in their future career. He might say that they are exceedingly pleased to see His Excellency the Governor there that day. (Hear, hear.)

seems superfluous. But any legal business appears to be incomplete without much vain repetition. We can give no other explanation than that it is to make assurance doubly sure. IT is quite a treat to see that one of the "Star" Ferry coxswains is quite ashamed of himself for being incompetant and careless. This man, who usually seems to be in charge (that is to say on board) of one of the ordinary launches, or perhaps we should rather say one of those without an upper deck, is generally talking loudly to his friends or enemies as the case may be, with his back to the bows, and when he makes some extra foolish blunder, such as running very hard into the pier, or overshooting his aim by more than a dozen yards, he turns as ret as a turkey-cock. There is some hope for this man; he evidently knows himself." FROM time to time we are told that the grand jury system is antiquated and out of date, and that it serves no useful purpose, says the City Press. This, however, is in no sense the opinion of judges and of those who are in a position to appreciate the merits of the system Not only do the grand juries save the time of the courts, by disposing of cases on which there is not sufficient evidence to found a conviction, but those who are innocent are saved the
