Two or three members nf H.E.'s family have died of the disease re cently; his second wife died on Wednesday, and we learn with much regret that I.E. Sheng himself has now been attacked. It is surely time that something was done to isolate the. premises in question, and initigate the danger to foreigners and natives contained in this focus of infection.

The frauds have extended, over a considerable period, and when they were discovered the woman could not be found.. She was ultimately arrested by the the police, who state that the amount of money involved is over $10,000. In addition to this sum It is stated that further possible proceedings may bring the total to a very much greater figure. The charges are being heard separately, and the defendant is represented by Mr. John Hastings Chief Detective Inspector Hanson conducts the prosecution.

Mrs. Mackenzie, 14, Wyndham Street, sum- moned her cook and coolie for neglecting their duties, The defendants, it transpired, wanted to leave and to have the money owing to them as wages paid over at once. The complainant very naturally refused to allow them to go without notice, and advanced no money. The result was that text morning both defendants lay in bed and neglected their work.

Asked if he had anything to say, the coole said he was told by a friend that his (the cook's) son was lying very ill in the country, and, like an affectionate father, he wished to visit the

invalid, "Missy," however, refused him the advance on his wages necessary to take him to the country. The next morning, probably through worrying about his son, he overslept himself..

The coolie said he did not want to stay be cause he did not savey the complainant's language. He, too, overslept himself, and was given in charge.

The cook was fined $3, and the coolie $1.
