I would seem too, that bigh wages are not confined to dock work. Trade generally is affected, and the common coolie, who was willing not long ngo to carry building materials for two or three annas a day, is now hardly satisfied with ten or twelve annas. Carpenters and other artisans are also demanding a higher scale of pay, and there is for the moment at least quite a labour famine in the city. The same trouble is ex- perienced in Calcutta now. It is chronic in Kangoon, but then Rangoon has to import all its labour from India.
A SENSATIONAL action for libet has just come off at Saigon, says the Straits Times. It was brought against the Opinion, a, newspaper which had attacked ceruin officers in Laos,
an
up-country province in Cochin-China for putting a rising among the natives down with a severity which bordered upon cruelty. The evidence led brought out these circum- stances as well as the fact that the officers, in
doing so, had merely carried out the instruc tions of their superior officer, now dead. For the defence it was urged that the Opinion did not defame the two officers but merely showed up a system of the government which allowed such atrocities. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal.

Hon. Shewao will also. Will the Government instruct the Govern ment printers to print a larger number of copies of Ordinances, as it appears that the Passenger Act, (No.'t of 1829), Chinese Con- solidation Ordinance is now out of print and cannot be supplied?
NEW TERRITORIES RÊNY RECOVERY
ORDINANCE.
The Aitney-General moved the first reading of a Bill entitled An Ordinance to repeal The New Territories Rent Recovery Ordinance. The objects and reasons sale :- "The o ject of this Ordinance is to provide for the hearing, and determining of claims to sent in the New Territories. By Ordinance 14 of 1902, it was provided that such claims should be heard and determined by the Land Court established under Ordinance 15 of 1920. That Court, however, was intended when it was con- stitated to be a Count for sealing claims to land in New Territories and for establishing titles to land therein and for no other purpose.
It was not intended, and it is not desired, that the Land Court shall continue to exist after it has done its work of settling titles to land. The Land Court, in short,' is a Lands Titles Court and that alome ; and will be dis solved as soon as its work of souling titles is done.
This Ordinance therefore repeals Ordinance 14 of 1902, which declares that all claims to rent in respect of land in the New Territories shall be heard and determined by the Land Court, and provides in lieu thereof that rent in the New Terr tories is to be recovered before the Supreme Court when the rent claimed exceeds $200 and before a Magistrate when the
um claimed does not exceed that amount.
Alter consideration and from the experience of the past the Government have come to the conclus on that in the case claims over $:co he parties should be admitted to the privilege of a hearing in the Supreme Court in its Original or Summary Jurdisdiction according to the amount involved, where the advantage of legal assistançe can readily be ubinined.
In proceedings before a Magistrate in the New Territories the parties will also be at liberty if they please to retain legal assistance, but as the amount involved in any such case will be necessarily small there will not be the same need for legal assistance."
The Colonial Secretary seconded. Bill read a first time.

and it was believed that the dread of imprison
, which could be enforced under the Ordinance, would deter those al present engaged in running Chinese into those Islands, contrary to law of the Philippines and Hongkong in respect of carrying more passengers than they are permited to do
The Colonial Secretary seconded and, after the Bill had been read, the Council went into committee and it was afterwards read a third time and passed.
The Council adjourned sine die.
