The following jury was empanelled:-Messrs. R. Jupes, Calisto da Silva, P. S. Jameson, F. F. Baretto, M. da Silva Guimaraes, P. H. Murray, H. J. N. de Carvalho,

In opening the case, the Acting Attorney General said was it purely a question of indentity, and the story he would endeavour to prove was that the prisoner was banished from the Colony five years as from the th May, 1897. On the 27th March last he was again seen in the Colony. The man did not deny but sim ply stated he was never banished at all. The question for the jury was whether the man was banished or not, and if they had any reasonable doubt about it they would have to find him not guilty.

The population of the Colony at the Census taken in January, 1897, was 248,880, while at the Census taken in January, 1901,, it was (exclusive of the New Territories), 283,975, This represents an increase of 35,095 within a period of four years and afforded a remarkable proof of the rapid progress of the Colony. The increase is, of course, very largely Chinese and is to be found mainly in Kowloon, where the population has risen from 26,442 to 42,976, and in the City of Victoria, where it has risen from 160,273 to 175,056 The increase in the non-prisonment with hard labour. Chinese Civil population during the four years amounts to 957. The following is the estimated population to the middle of 1901- Non-Chinese Civli Population..

The total strength of the British Flect on the China Sintion on June 30th, 1901, was 11,598, as compared with 7.110 in the previous year and 7,738 in 1899.

The proportion of males at the Census taken in 1897 was among the Chinese 709 per cent, and among the non- Chinese 58.6 per cent, and the reduction in the proportion of women both among Chinese and non-Chinese is, consider, the direct result of the greatly enhanced cost of living of late years, and the increasing difficulty in obtaining suitable accommodation for families. The City of Victoria is divided into ten Healdi Districts with an Inspector of Muls. ances in charge of each District; there are also five Senior Inspectors for the City, each of whom has the general supervision, of two Districts while there are also special Inspectors for the work of disinfection, for prosecutions, for the control of the Chinese cemeteries, for drainage work and other matters.
