The case, he said, was of a very trivial nature in itself, but through the close investigation made by counsel for the defence some curious facts were revealed.

I did not, therefore, write in the port that I had witnessed the inci'ent in person.

In consequ -ence I laid a charge aqui, at the accused us

I witness him take hold of the lady's arm and stop her when she was leaving his shop. I set down the particulars which seemed true after investiga 'tion. It is a fact, I believe, that a child about
four years of age who accompanied the lady broke the lid of a jar and that the accused de- manded compensation for the dainage.
The 'urge-It ppears that the child who accompanied the lady broke h⋅ lid of a jar and the accused demanded compensation for the damage, which the lady relu ed to pay. It further appears that she repentedly struck the aroused with her hand and a stick. Did not the lady thus insult Hamada? How is it. therefore, that you prosecuted the accused?
Wiiness:-- When the lady was about to leave the shop of the accused he took hold of her arm and stopped her. In Western countries ladies are very much respecte and such an action is evidently regarded as an insult to a lady. It is considered extremely arrogant för a man to touch a lady with his hand. In view of this, I prosecuted the man as having insulted the lady.
The Judge-However much ladies are respected in the West, they cannot be allowed to kick or strike a man who, as in this case, was compelled to take hold of the lady's ärm when she ignored a demand for compensation for an article broken by her child. When she acted in this manger, was she not slighting the rights of a Japanese? Some of the foreigners resident in Japan may belong to a very low class. In such case the act committed by the accused against a foreigner cannot be regarded as, arrogant. Is it not so?
Witness-Civilised Furopeans may not C- sort to such barbarous actions; but in this case the accused acted arrogantly against the foreign lady, and I believe she may bave taken these measures she did in self-defence.
In reply to father questions by the Judge, the witness deposed that the foreign lady had a bamboo stick with her, which she was brand. ishing. He believed the stick may have touch- ed the head of the accused and injured the , man. According to Western customs, it was regarded as insulting a lady @hen a strange man took hold of her hand. In view of this custom, he accordingly prosecuted the man.
The Judge Do you think the lady was much freightened when the man took hold of her hands, and that she struck the man in self. defence ?
Witness:-The occurrence gathered a crowd of spectators, and I believe`sha must have been frightened and acted as she did in self-defence, The trouble originated in the arrogant conduct of the accused.
In reply to the questions ; f Mr. Yoshizumi, countel for the accused, the witness stated that the accused did not come to the police-box at Kitano. The bamboo stick was kept in the

and that the accused demanded compensation the child of the foreign lady broke the lid of a jar
for the broken lid. In the West, where women were very highly respected, the action of the such an occasion was regarded as an insult, accused in seizing hold of the arm of a lady on and the lady must-have struck the accused in self-defence. He regarded the action of the police in punishing the accused for an infraction of the Pal.ce Regulations as justifiable.
Mr. Yoshizumi, counsel for the defence, said that he was greatly surprised at the ad dress of the Procurator. He was astonished that the Japanese authorities should show such extreme bias in favour of a foreigner. In this case there was no reason to conclude that the accused had insulted the lady.

The action of the accused was provoked by the lady, and he had no intention to commit any crime. He had merely demanded-com- pensation for damage and in return was struck and kicked. In this case it was clear that if any one was to be punished, it should be the

lady. Yet when the account of the occurrence appeared in the Chronicle, the accused was unjustifiably ordered to be punished as having demanded compensation for his loss. the one who suffered pecuniary loss and had been injured was ordered to be punished, while the lady who deserved punishment escaped with impunity. He regarded the action of the police as extremely unjust. Counsel concluded by warmly orging that the accused should be acquitted:
The Court immediately announced its decision that the accused should be acquitted on the ground of insufficiency of evidence.- Kobe Chronicle.
