This incident, in causing which the magle trate was doubtless acting under orders from his superiors, is part of the endeavour being made by the higher authorities, to assert that the Mixed Court is a Chinese Court, which it is not, and to abolish the protection which the municipality is bound to give and does give to Chinese in the Settlement. This at- titude of the higher authorities, is part of the general obstructiveness and anti-foreign policy of which there have been so many indicationa

Court cells under the care of Chinese warders, protection, whether they are sent to the Mixed

or to the gentle ministrations of the Door of Hope.

The question is now assuming a wider phase; it practically amounts to the question whether the Settlement shall be administered as a Chinese centre under Chinese authority,' or whether it shall continua to be a Settlement for the Foreign Community of Shanghai. No one benefits, more by the maintenance of the latter condition than do the law-abiding Chi- nese in the Settlement, as the enormous num- ber of those now living under our protection shows; and alt intelligent and progressive Chinese must feel that the action taken by the Consular Body and the Municipal Council for the better protection of life and property, and the better treatment of native

· prisoners, is fully deserving of their sympathy and support. So fully do they recognise the fairness and thoroughness of the protection ex- tended to them by the Municipal Council, that they have never moved to have such a change in the Land Regulations made as would admit of one or more Chinese being admitted to the Council as members, though more than puce. some self-constituted champion has done it for them, but, of course, in vain.
