THR Japan Mall states that the hearing of the case in which the liquidator of the bankrupt firm of Messrs. Maurilys, Heimann and Co. claims Y226,250 from Messrs. Samuel Samuel and Co. will take place on 'ct. 22nd in the Court of Cassation. It may be remembered that on May 29th, 1904, judgment was given in the Yokohama District Court in favour of the liquidator of the bankrupt firm. Messrs. Samuel Samuel and Co. having appealed to the Tokio Appeal Court against the decision given in the lower Court, judgment was this time given in favour of Messrs. Samuel Samuel and Co, which was rendered on June 9th this year. Mr. Hioki, the liquidator, then appealed to the Court of Cassation Ex.

For some reason or other, however, reporters are rigorously debarred from dilending_the deliberations of this body. We cannot refrain from commenting upon this Star Chamber line of action, for it is obvious that the pro ceedings would be of great public interest in such a community as Hongkong, where the Scotch element is so preponderating. It means ⚫ that probably nine-tenths of the members of the Society who, for various reasons were un- able to attend, are left utterly in the dark as to the business transacted. In other Eastern centres the meetings of the Society are gladly opened to the Press.

ACCORDING the Birmingham Daily Mail, a remarkable incident occurred at a recent execution at Birmingham, the condemned man appearing on the scaffold smoking a cigar. The report in question states: "Holden, how- ever, quietly submitted to his arms and hands being poinioned. This work was carried out with great despatch, and hardly a minute or two had elapsed ere the procession to the scene of the execution was formed, and had started upon its journey. The Roman Catholic chap- lain led the way, and Holden, smoking a cigar, walked with firm step, with a warder on either side. The medical officer of the prison Dr. Murray), the deputy medical officer (Dr. Wakefield), the governor of the gaol (Captain Percy tireen), and the chief warder

walked behind, and the executioners brought up the rear. On arrival at the scaffold, which was but fifty yards or so from the condemned cell, the final proparations only occupied a few seconds. The cigar had to be taken from Holden's mouth in order to put on the white cap. As he took his stand, Holden, who main. tained a wonderfully callous demeanour said, 'Farewell; I will see some of you again. A drop of G ft. 7 in. was allowed, and death was instantaneous. Only 65 seconds transpired between the leaving of the condemned cell and the execution."

AMONG the passengers travelling on the N. D. L. muil steamer Bayern, are Masters V, Atienza and Candide Ontanon, five years students at St. Joseph's College. They have passed all of the Government examinations, in addition to the Oxford Junior, and the authorities are now waiting to learn whether the boys have also succeeded in the Oxford Senior. The scholars are now bound for London, win Southampton, where they are taking up medicine and law, respectively. Shortly before the Bayern was timed to start Br. Sylvester, the director of the College, and a good number of the boys, ac companied by several friends, including Father Nava, Vice-Procurator, Dr. J. Lukban, Messrs. Vicente Alienza and E. F. Agoncillo, weat over to Kowloon in launches chartered for the occasion and gave the young travellers a hearty send off on the start of their five years' absence from Hongkong. It is interesting to know that Master Vazquez, a former pupil of the College, is now completing his studies in medicine at London. Such facts as these, while showing that parents are ready and willing to go to considerable expense in educating their sons, are surely suggestive of the importance of steps being taken by the government to provide facilities for advanced studies in the Colany. Let us have a scholarship or two, and stimulie healthy competition among the younger genera- tion.

When it came to paying the pur chaser had not sufficient modey and wanted credit for the balance. The shopkeeper re- fused credit, and then the trouble began. The purchaser wanted his goods, but the owner wanted their monetary value, and finding he could not get them, the man drew a jack-knife and made a lunge at the silk-dealer, pinning his hand to the counter of the shop. His cries brought his neighbours to the scene, when each thought the other was the assailant, and a free fight commenced, while the wound- ed man was carried to the upper storey of the shop, being so sick and faint as to be able to give no explanation of the affair.

knocks were given and received by the excited crowd before the disturbance was quelled by the intervention of a German gentleman who had witnessed the occurrence.

AT the Magistracy on Tuesday, Mr. A. O. Brawn, master at the Diocesan Boys' School, appeared to answer a summons, taken out against him by Mr. E.

the launch, complainant got up on the bui warks and stood on them. This made the ladies on board nervous, and they asked him to request complainant to come down." This cant- plainant refused to do, and so défendant found himself, confronted by two alteratives-either to remain passive, while complainant defied his authority before his boys, and outraged the feelings of a number of ladies who were pre- seat, or to remove complainant. He decided ob the latter alternative and, using a little necessary force put him on deck, when com plainant stumbled over one of the boys' fest and fell, but he was in no way damaged or application to even hurt. There was no assault, and no force used more that required to remove complain- apt. Mr.:Kemp --The summons is dismissed.
