'COLLISION CASE,

Tur collision that took place at the Bangkok bar recently between the Norwegian steamer Shuld and a fighter is likely to result in an action in Court. A sum of 50,000 ticals, is being claimed.

To show how very necessary it is that some. means should be found for putting a stop to this habit, we may mention that on enquiry at the offices of the Sanitary Board we were informed that it is no uncommon occurrence for over fifty per cent. of the plague cases reported in one day to be dumped bodies. This, we contend, tells its own story, and shows how general is the desire amongst the Gainese to escape the inconvenience of having premises fumigated-and cleaned.

Iris really remarkable how easily criminals can clude justice. Nearly, if not quite a week ago a warrant was taken out against a certain European of the beacticomber persuasion, and although the man is still in the Colony he lias managed to elude the police up to date. A record of how he has managed to accomplish this feat in a place the size of Hongkong would be interesting.
What we want here is a Government which would have the courage of it own opinions as opposed to the Chinese. Of course we shall be told that such an institution would drive away our Chinese population, but that, as we said before, is so much twaddle.

We are glad to note that parts of that very bad road between Kowloon and Hunghom, and the latter place and Kowloon City, are being put in a better state of repair. By the way, where the coolles are making such a mess of the road alongside the Green Island Co.'s premises, there is a broad footpath. Why could not this be kept for ricksha's only, until the excavation work there is finished, instead of letting the coolies with their wheelbarrows cut up the whole road-way ?
