The owners of the launch Morning Post were also summoned for a similar offence.

THE POINTER'S PENCHANT. '.

One of the witnesses who had given evidence Fernando Musso, of No, 12, Bonham Road, was summoned on tanand at the Police Court at the preliminary trial, Dr. L. W. Cock, medical this morning, before Mr. H. H. J. Compertz, officer of thess, Indrävelli, being now too ill to charged with keeping a ferocious and unmur-attend Court, Dr. Beil, resident surgeon of the zled dog in his premises. The dog, which is a four-months-old printer, it may be stated, first bit a painter on the thigh and that person was compensated for any inconvenience he was put to. Later on in the afternoon, Master Georgie Wing, the son of the next door neighbour, was playing cricket and hit a boundary. He ran inta defendant's garden to reqver bis ball, where it had been singged, and as he was leave ing it defendant's pointer chased the bay. The lad took fright and ran too, and the dog sprang on him and bit him. Georgie had to be taken to the doctor on several siccasions and it was said defendant offered compensation, but it was refused by Mrs. Wing, who wanted the dog destroyed. This Musso would not do and he was 'summoned. The doctor's bill was pro

duced and totalled $74

..

Dr. Lawless, chief medical superintendent. of the as. Indravalli, spoke to viewing the body, and finding two wounds in the thorax, either of which alone would have been suffi. cint to cause death. In his opinion there were present no other conditions from which death would have been likely to occur. Death, in his opinion, was due to the stab wounds alone. There were no other marks of violence on the body, le did ant hold a post mortem examination of the body, as he considered the cause of death sufficiently obvious without that. Mr. Whiting, the superintendent of the returning coolies, spole to finding the body of the deceased lying on deck and prisoner stand- ing by him, and trying to hide the wounds, and keeping everyone from approa. hing, saying that the deceased was drunk. There was blond on the prisoner's hands, jacket and pants. He was then arrest d.

AN UNRULY WOMAN.

REFUSES TO PAY VEHICLE HIRE.

Belare Mr. H. H. 1. Gompertz, at the Ms. gletracy this morning a female passenger who arrived by the... Arendia from the north, was charged with being drank and disorderly, yester. A Euro.

·day, and refusing to pay vehicle hire, poan constable said that while on duty jou Queen's Road Central, yesterday afternoon, he saw de- fendant drunk in a ricksha. He stopped the vehicle and asked defendant where she was bound for. She got very disorderly, using abusive language, and refused to pay her ricksha. She also slapped the officer on the face. She was put in a chair and removed to the lock-up. There it was ascertained that she hadno money.

Ching Ling, a Rand-mine interpreter, and a passenger on the s.s. Indravelli, said he saw the prisoner trying to hide himself and the deceased under a blanket, saying that the deceased was a great friend of his, and was then very drunk. Quite near them was a port, and it was open; it was quite large enough to allow a man to get through.

The evidence for the prosecution having been heard, the Attorney-General closed his case, and said he had nothing to add to what he had already said in his opening address to the jury.

Mr, Culthrop submitted that, on the evidence, there was no case to gn before the jury. The only evidence was that of the man's own ad- mission, but that had to be taken as a whole with the evidence that he was assaulted and that it was on account of the assault that he did what he said he did. There was no case of murder to go to the jury, but he must admit that there might be a case of manslaughter.

His Honour! These was evidence; there was the evidence of the Clinamen who stated that there was no previous quarrel among anyone

|

- Mr. Master said that he was not going to produce any evidence to challenge that of the sergeant's, so it would save time to take all the

cases together. Owing to the work on the new dock there was no place for Messrs. Butler- field and Swire's launches to lie unless they go over to Kowloon, which was very inconvenient.

Continuing, witness said that together with the Morning Post were Messrs, Butterfield and Swire's four launches. They were lying off Murray Pier steps, and crented au obstruction. They obstructed the free access of any boat or vestel atters pting to go to the steps of the wharf. Mr Master-Did you take out this summons on your own initiative ?—No.

Was a complaint made?—Yes. Wham by --The Commodore.

Supposing the janks were not alongside the launches at anchor would there not be reason. ably free access to the steps?—Yes, if the junks. had not been there, then there would be no obstruction.

You have noticed junks frequently lying there, haven't you?—Yes, they are employed by Messrs Panchard, Lowther and Company.

How many have you seen lying there at a time?--Sometimes three abreast, now and again two, and some time ago six.

Have there been any other complaints except from the Commodore?—Not as far as 1 koow. Continuing, witness thought that as Messen, etterfield and Swire's offices have their | frontages on the waterfront it was reasonable should have their faunches within Casy hail,

that they

If there had been no complaint from the Commodore would you have, do your own, summoned them?--I think I would

Mr. Master said that as far as thứ case went his Worship could see that Stessrs. Butterfeld and Swire had no intention of obstructing the wharf, Messrs. Butterfield had a right to lie off their offices and it was the junks doing Admiralty work that caused the obstruction. The Company are going to sink a buoy west of their offices and there will be no obstruction in the future.

In his recent investigations, through the courtesy of Sir Matthew Nathan, Mr. Ed. munds was kindly given the lean by the Hong- kong Observatory officials of all the necessary instruments for correct observation, much material, as must be expected being gathered which furnish valuable data for the construction of Mr. Edmunde's techinical report to the De- partment in Washington.

coast where extensive observations will be carried out. We understand that special faci- lities have been granted for quick travel to Mr. Edmunde, who will under such conditions be able to cover his ground far mare expedi tiously than otherwise.

Mr. Edmunds' present expedition will extend over a period of two and a half months. He will be equipped, with field instruments for magnetic survey generously lent by the Jesuit Fathers of the Zicawei Observatory, Shanghai. Mr. Edmunds contemplates making
