· JAPAN'S FIRST MOVE. Notwithstanding the optimistic, rumours which reach us from Russian sources, it is evident from the extensive preparations going on and japan's last move in placing a press-censorship on telegrams, that war may break out at any moment. Though specula- tions are often of little value as it is always the unforseen that happens, it is of interest to consider in what manner

As is usual with all new enter we have encountered many obstacles that were unexpected; yet most of the difficulties have been overcome, and uot- withstanding the depression in financial circles, and the scarcity of money in South China, the majority of our shares have already been sub- scribed Payments, while slow, have come in as required, aut no subscriber has failed to respond when called upon...

BANKRUPİCr,

AN UNSATISFACTORY FORM.

Sitting in Honkruptcy Jurladiction at the Supreme Court this morning, the Chief Justice, Sir W. M. Goodman, beard an application by -- Mr. E. J. Grist, on behalf of Ma Chuk Ting. for a receiving order in the estate of Ma Ying Wa, deceased. The assets, he said, were in- sufficient to pay the debts of the deceased, and/ there were severn! actions commencing against the executor, as executor of the estato. "It' seemed to him that the only way of dealing with the case was to administer it in Hank-*** ruptcy. The assets were $21,000, of which $12,000 was actual cash.

The Chief Justice.-How am I to know the estate la bankrupt? The application is wrongly draws out. I seldom get them in proper farm... There must be proper proof.

Mr. Grist. The form is strictly in accord. ance with Section 4 ofthe Ordinance. It is the

A receiving order was made, and Mr. Bruce Shepherd, Official Receiver, was appointed

The defence was that the chest was never put on board, and that the Bill of Lading was given in full by a mistake. There were 380 Chests of opium shipped, a part of which belonged to Messrs. D., Sassoon and Co. Two sepurate Billstory form. of Lading were given. By y me mistake, it"| was alleged, one of D. Sassoon's cases got mixed up with X. D.

The Chief Justice said that on December 22

the day for the public examination was fixed

It was contempt of Court, and he would order warrants to be issued for their arrest. for Jan. 7, and the debtors should have attended.

In the book of the Chinese tailyman, who the land purchased in Hongkong took tally of the opium cases, chest No. 1714 (Quarry Bay) $40,000 was paid, and

was entered last, and the maik "E. D: S." was deeds are before you.. I might add in connection with this property, that the Com-altered to "D. S." by the first letter being pany haven offer of $45.000 for the land, struck out with a pen. The tallyman stated

Some other Chinese tatlymen, a number of Preventive Officers, and the Pursers of the vessel were examined and cross-examined at some length in regard to the mode of tallying, the position of the hatches, and some other

matters.

Mr. Maflin, the Senior Inspector of the Cus toms Preventive service, said that one of the Preventive Officers informed him that chest No. 5187 of E. D. Sassoon was short, and he at once reported this to the shippers, 10 Apcar and Co., the Police, and the Excise Depart ment: In answer to a question he said that it

was not possible to remove a chest from the

vessel surreptitiously. He also stated that the Excise Department had found five balls of opium similar to what was shipped three days alter the shipment. There were no chests lying in the Excise godown.

Mr. Hastings said that the debtors were in China, and were willing to come down for examination, but the Chinese officials, owing ??? to some proceedings in Canton, would not

allow them to leave.

The Chief Justice. I have no affidavits to that effect.

Mr. Hastings.It would be to the interests of all to have the debtors present, and they are willing to attend if Your Lordship will give them time.

The Chief Justice.-The interest of the Court is that its orders are implicitly obeyed.

Mr. Bruce Shepherd. I am informed that the debtors escaped the runners at Canton, and suggested that they should be communicated with and told to come direct to Hongkong.

Plaintiff's had not done so, and were, therefore, guilty of contributory negligence.

His Honour expressed no opinion as to whether the missing chest was or was not put on board; but defend anis, having failed to prove that they had not received the chest, plaintiffs would have a decree for the amount claimed, with costs, and pleader's certificate.
