URIMINAL ESSIONE:

OPENEW THIS MORNING.:

The Jime Criminal Sessions opened at the Supreme Court this morning, before the Chief Justice, His Lordship W. M. Goodman, K.C. The names of four prisoners were on the calendar, two being indicted for unlawful: pos session of forged bank notes, one for man slaughter, and the other for robbery with

violence.

The Acting Attorney General remarked that they were another brand. The prisoner's defence was that a friend in Singapore sent them to him, but he had not passed any as he found they were false. On his Lordship asking. him if he cared to tell the name and address of his friend in order that the police authorities might be telegraphed to, he answered that his friends name was Leung Liu Chun, but he did not know his address. He asked his Lordship not to send him to gaol, and he was welcome to the bad notes His Lordship said there was very little difference between that case and the last. The one brought bad notes into the colony, and the other received bad notes. A verdict of guilty was returned, and before

THE NEW GRAVING DOCK":

AT KOBE.

REMARKABLE ENGINEERING FEAT.

The new graving dock af Kobt, belonging to the Kawasaki Dockyard Company, Limited, which has been formally opened, is claimed to be the "only one of its kind in the East," a description probably intended to convey the fact that its appointments are far superior to those of other dry docks in the Far East. The dock has taken about six years in its construc- tion, and this length of time, says the Kobe

Chronicle, is mainly due to the difficultios en- countered in laying the foundations, owing to the sandy nature of the soil. Through such a bed water percolates freely, and unless the

The Chief Justice said he understood that the person, whose death the prisoner had caused, was older and stronger than the boy in the dock, who he had provoked and challenged to fight. It appeared that prisoner had feat the deceased len cents, and with it he gambled and won twenty cents. Then he paid the prisoner the money utorrowed, and offered to fight. at the same time poking him in the stomach. This prisoner resented and, drawing a knife from his pocket, intended striking deceased on the shoulder. Unfortunately for him the bladd penetrated his aeck, and severed the jugular vein with the result that deads ensued shortly afterwards. Prisoner was then arrested. Concluding, his fordship observed that though prisoner bad no intention of killing the mito the use of the koise must be put down, and he would have to go to penal servitude for five years.

Su Ng, Pun Wa, and Tsang Tak had the above charge brought against them, and pleaded guilty. It appears that the 23rd May the three robbers knock at the door, of 39, Irving Street, and upon Kam. Sick opening it they entered and asked for a smoke and support. Two of them caught hold of Kam Sick, rubbed pepper in his eyes, gagged him, stole 54 worth of clothes, and decamped. The first prisoner was caught red handed in the street, and as the others pleaded guilty was unnecessary to go into the evidence. His Lordship said it was quite clear the men were guilty. Putting pepper in the eyes of Kalim Sick, and violently gagging him causing his month and nose to bleed, was a cowardly attack for $4 worth of property, Possibly they thought there was more. He sentenced them to five years hard labour, and Chan Fuk was charged with being unlawfully ordered them to have so strokes with the birch possessed of 27 forged Hongkong and Shang-within the first 6 months. He advised the hai bank notes for Sto and 55. The prisoner latter to be given as soon as convenient pleaded not guilty, and the following jury was called upon, viz, —Messrs, John Gregory, Jociu Maria de Graca, Jono Mario de Rocha, Carl Emil Peter Herbst, Albert Gascoigne, Henry William Fortesquien, and George William Gegg

The Acting Attorney-General (the Hon. A. G. Wise) prosecuted on behalf of the Crown.

The first witness called upon was P. 5. 21 who had arrested the prisoner and found the bundles of forged, noles in his right sleeve. They were producedzin Court, and the Hon. A G. Wise, on looking at them, remarks "Fame "old stuff??

Robert C. E. Edwards of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, was the next witness, and he deposed that the notes were clear forgeries made on too thick a paper

The Acting Attomey General caused a smile when addressing the jury, who were inspecting the notes with the remark you have had $5 notes before, gentlemen." Before Mr. Edwards left the witness box he requested that, the notes should be sent to the bank to be stamped 'false. His request was granted and the third witness was called.

letter was addressed, and observed that he did

not know the bank notes are bad, or he would not have carried them. The story he gave to the Court was that he lent a certain, man $4 and on asking him for payment he was introduced to Chun, and he believed it was a conspiracy to against him.

The Chief Justice, in summing up, said that as the prisoner did not give the name of the consignee, it was to be assumed that he brought the notes for himself. It would be dangerous to manufacture these notes in the Colony so they were made outside, in China. Some one had to bring them into the Colony and the prisoner posed as an innocent letter carrier just infringing" the laws of the post office. monopoly

VICEROY YUAN AND THOSE. IN POWER,

Peking correspondent sends the following to the North China Daily News The “Man of the sklour, just now, is Yuan Shih kai, Viceroy of Chihff and Imperial High Commis sioner of the Peiyang Administration-in other words, the successor of the honours of the late Li Hung-chang. Furthermore his recent successes-may they not turn out to be merely transient ones against the rebels of south. western Chikki have greatly strengthened his already strong position in the estimation of the Empress Dowager and her powerful nephew, the Gmnd Secretary and Cosuciller, Yung Lu, so that outside Peking Yuan Shih-k'ai may be said to have even more actual power than even the two great satraps of the riverine provinces As an instance of how the Empress Dowager and Grand Secretary Yung Lu seek to please Viceroy Yuan the following may be of interest. Upon the outbreak of the hot weather the other day in the Capital the Empress Dowager remarked to those around her that as Paoting was south of Peking it was probably much better there than in the Palace, and then she turned to one of the head eunuchs in attendance and commanded him to go to the Comptroller-General of the Imperial Douse hold Department, on duty for that day, and order that official to select from the silk goods,
