Mr. E. J. Grist, of Mesars, Wilkinson and Grist, appeared for the plaintiff, while Mr. P. M. Hodgsou, of Messrs. Ewens and Barston, represented the defendsöl firm.

The pliiotill, Mr. Grist stated, had taken from the defendant firm a flid - or slilia one of their buildings at Rowise. Only the fat in which plaintiff lived was let to him, but not the rool. The robf, Mr. Girist observed, was the property of the landlord, whose day it was to keep it in proper end..iun or the use of the tenants. On the 28th July last, there was a typhoon in Hongkong. Eight pr teb days after the blow there was a heavy downpour, which couted water to accumulate

on that portion of the roof above plajotiff's door, which was flat. The water came through, and: damaged a considerable portion of plaintiffs

property.

Here Mr. Grist read, clause "3 of the agree ment which plated-that-the landlord "shall keep the roof and wails of the house in proper order, at his cost," Authorities were then cited,

Mr. Justice Compartz -Supposing the ty phoon took the roof right eff, would you still

have a remedy?"

Mr. Grint-1'don't think so.

Did you give notice to the defendants to repair the rool? "N

Was the roof damaged by the typhoon-I 'can't say that. All the guters were choked with leaves which must have been blown to the roof by the typhoon, causing the accumulation of water. We do not put the damage down to the typhoon, The defendants are under an obligation to keep the roof in good condition, and as there had been a typhoon it was, their duty to call and see whether any repairs were becessary.

M. Goldring was then called to the stand and he told his story which corroborated the|| above.

It was necessary for notice to be given to the landlord, Mr. Hodgson went on to remate, and until that is done the landlord could not be held liable for the repair, even if he could have found out by going on the premises. The land- lord had no other means of ascertaining what repairs were wanted except by visiting the roof. The roof, as well as the house, was let to the tenab, it being past and parcel of the property, and if the landlord went there he was liable

THE JAPANESE BOYCOTT. Of late in Canton the dealers in marine pro- ducts and cotton piece goods bave revised their regulations in respect to the Japanese Spycott, and the Canton Salf-Government Seciety has also often convened boycott meetings, in which it was even considered that certain Japanese maring goods are alleged to contain poison. The above action has no doubt more or less stimulated the Japanese boycott propaganda." The Japanese Coal at Canton has again lodged another representation with the Viceroy

requesting him to take steps to suppress the boycott. Upon this representation the Viceroy again instructed the Kwangchow prefect to investigate the matter, and the latter has, in consequence, warned the different native newspapers broughout the city not to publish any report on the Japanese baycolt movement.

H. E. the Viceroy proceeded to the parade.

THE RECENT MUTINY. The Provincial Judge of Kwangsi, Wong Chi Cheung, arrived here yesterday and called on the Viceroy the same day to hand him a report on the recent mutinous rising of soldiers at Tai Wong Kong and its suppression.
