The sentence is quite correct, inasmuch as the meaning implied appears to be that of "one point of YIEW." As applied above it is read to mean the "party," or "national," point of view. "Collectively has the meaning of "taken together" or "unitedly", and would be oviously wrong in its application as sug. gested above.-Ed., A.K, T.]
Previous to that date the licence-fee which was Sz oo was paid quarterly. The fee has now been raised to $4.0 and is paid half-yearly, The number of licences issued during the last quarter of the year was 5.997 compared with 7,773 in the last quart-r of 1902,

The expenditure during the year was $26,755.64 compared with $24,230.33 in 1992. The increase is due to various increases of salary to some of the members of the staff and to regular increments of salary to others. PO LEUNG KUK INCORPORATION ORDINANCE. RICKSHAS AND THEIR PULLERS.

It is difficult for residents to make a ricksha puller (unless the races or any special sports are on) understand the destina tion required, even when they both resort to pidgin English, and, I am sure-unless, officials, who are required to have a knowledge of the dialect-the Hakka dialect speaking Foreigners are in the minority.

The "chop," although a colourable representation, was but a coarse piece of work, and that, and the dark colour of the ink used, immediately, caught the excise officer's attention. This morning the case against them was called on before Mr. Kemp, at the Police Court, and after evidence, of Arrest had. been taken, they were seminded for a week to enable the Farmer to secure evidence of the $2,500 each. forgery, the men being released on bail of
