Hongkong has reason to remember the lahours of Sir Thomas Sutherland, for it was he who was in no small degree respon sible for the building of the dicks at Hong- kong, and to his energy has, also to be attri buted much that brought about the forma- tion of the Hongkong and Shanghai Dank- ing Corporations-institutions which have each in its own way contributed to the greatness of the part.

FORT FURTHER MAGISTERIAL PROCEEDINGS,

This afternoon the case in which the Igor

It will be remo bered by our readers that this prisoner is the man who was committed for trial for the murder of another Igorroie on board the 2.5.

Tremont in this harbour.

Prisoner pleaded "Not guilty," to the second charge,

Dr. E. A. R. Laing stated that on the 7th inst, he examined the body of Cheng Tung. a Chinaman, aged between 40 and 50 years. The deceased bad a stab-wound in the chest, about three inches long, four stab-wounds, an inch and a half long, on the arm, and two stab-wounds in the front of the chest. He died on the 8th inst. Witness made a post- mortem examination the same day and found that death was due to internal hemorrhage, brought" about by the wounds which might have been caused by the knife produced. Deceased was identified to witness by a.con. stable, and three Chinese had also identified him to Constable, T. Sutherland,

Chang Tang, a ricksha coolie in charge of ricksha 324, living at 31 Third Street said that Chang Tung was a ricksa coolie living in the same house. On the 7th inst, he. was 'with his ricksha near the Wing Chai

wharf, and Cheng Tung was next to him. A foreigner went up to deceased and stabbed him on the chest, Witness called for police, and ran away. After he returned a crowd had collected, and he then saw that the prisoner had been arrested by the Chinese constable. The prisoner is the man who stubbed deceased. The man and deceased said nothing. There was no reason why prisoner stabbed deceased. The Intter was sitting on the footboard of his ricksha, and did not do anything to prisoner. Witness went to the hospital on the 8th inst., and there saw the body of deceased.

His Worship: You are sure the deceased did nothing to the prisoner?

Witness: No, he did nothing at all His Worship: He was sitting next to you? Witness: No; I was sitting next to him!

This witness then corroborated the last witness in detail. Witness did not see what the pri soner had in his hand, but he saw him make a stab at deceased who then fell down.

The defendant firm was unrepresented. Mr. Calihrop said there were a large number of contracts entered into between the parties from the 6th March, 1992, down to June 1904. There had been previous dealings with them, and the method was that the broker of the plaintiffs used to go round for orders. The defendants used to give an order, with their chop on it, and then they used to put in the price which they were willing to pay. It was then brought back to the plaintiffs who put

STOWAWAYS.

Inspector Langley placed thirteen Japanese, nine women and four men, before Mr. Gom periz at the Magistracy, charged with stowing away on the ss. Macquarie, and obtaining passage to this port. They said they obtained the consent of the chief officer and the steward to come here from Moji.-C. W. Elliot, chief officer of the 8.5. Macquarie, testified to finding the stowaways in various parts of the steamer, the day after they left Moji. One of the men offered to give witness $50 to let them all go. St. John George, master of the steamer, stated that the accused had not his sanction to come on board, nor the sanction of anyone on board with his authority. His worship said he un- derstood from the police that the accused were if they would guarantee to pay he would not press the charge.-The case was then renand. ed, to obtain the evidence of the chief steward,

Another coolie living at No. 31 Third Street gave similar testimony, and said that deceased was his bacle. On the roth inst. P. C. 380 took him to the mortuary to see the dead body of Cheng Tung, and he there identified it to the constable as that of his uncle. He did not witness the stabbing.
