A TIENTSIN LIBEL SUIT-Preliminary proceedings were to take place a few days ago at the British Consulate-General, Tientsin, in the claim of Piper v. the "Peking and Tientsin Times" for damages for alleged libel. The case is put down as that of Harold Francis.

Piper v. R. A. Cousers, and proceedings were caused by an application on the part of the defendant, Mr. Cousens, through his solicitors, Mess, Mounsay and Brution, that the plaintiff be ordered to give security for the defendant's costs. The plaintiff was to be represented by Mr. Kent, barrister-at-law, on behalf of Messrs. Eames and Kent.
