BRITISH SUBJECTS.

Some three months ago we referred to a grievance which Chinese merchants in Bangkok had against the British Consul at Swatow, and which they proposed to bring to the notice of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. They complained of the want of recognition with which they were A. S. WATSON & CO., treated by the Consular authorities at the northern port, and argued that, although Asiatics were not registered in Bangkok as British subjects without first having their title to the nationality strictly investigated, they were refused recognition as such in Swatow, despite the production of passports and registration certificates signed by British ollicials in Bangkok.

The novel sight presented itself to many visitors when the river gunboat of the British Navy, the Robin, was observed in

the Government camber. The diminutive wet dock in Macao is used for small repairs and the cleaning up of the Government and harbour police launches on the river. Curiosity led to inquiry as to the cause which took the Robin out of her anchorage, and it has been learnt that she went into the camber for cleaning up and painting." This is the second time that she has been into the little dock here, for the use of which nothing is charged to the British Admiralty by the local Government, As evidence of the hospitality of the Portuguese WE are requested to announce that Commodore authorities may be mentioned the free use and Mrs. Dicken have removed from the Cam-given to the U.S.S.

This was the sub- stance of the reply as communicated to the petitioners a few days since, and is, in itself, not only of the greatest importance to the bankers and merchants of Bangkok, but also to those in practically every port of the Far Bast. Their status has doubtless been brought to the notice of the authorities at home; for it is announced that the Foreign Office has been engaged in drawing up a new set of rules on the whole subject. Lord Lansdowne has, probably, studied the question of Consular reform and in the near future we may expect to hear further of a matter which is of so great moment to those having business dealings in and with China,

THE S.S. Inkula and the Katherine Park have been chartered by Messrs.

A curious case, involving the oft-debated question of Chinese oaths in judicial cases,

investigations in an action brought by one of numerous shareholders against the sub-lesseb and manager of a fantan-gambling-house were heard. The case for the plaintiff is one of misappropriation of funds and will, in due course, be brought for trial before the Court. During the inquiry it appeared that the question was put whether the plaintiff could swear to the truth of his allegations in baths, that is, by chopping off the head of the usual form that the Chinese take their cock. This the prosecuting witness promptly undertook to do. While the Court officials were sent to procure a bird and the yellow paper was requisitioned, it accurred to the astute Counsel for the defence (Dr. Luiz Nolasco da Silva) to ascertain the plaintiff's religious persuasion. In answer to an interrogatory he declared that he was a Christian, whereupon defendant's Counsel objected to the man being sworn in accordance with Buddhistic rites. The lawyer's objection was upheld.
