Chinese also may well be content to have obtained the recognition of the Commission for the progress, real but unequal, that they have made in the work of suppression.

In other words when Governmenta real 1 to what extent opium smoking has

From what took place at the opening of the Conference now sitting in Shanghai, local read. ers, at least, were fully prepared for present developments-namely, clear proof that the obtain a monopoly for the sale of the prepared drug, and that the question of the suppression of the opium habit itself, although kept we'l în the foreground in the official despaiches from the Wawupu and high Chinese officials, is in reality a very secondary consideration. A few officials and a good many people may be card- est in their efforts to combat the evil, ust the government, central and provincial, daly wants to make money out of these professors of virite and to throw dust in the eyes of the "foreign devile" whom China is doce more fooling to the top of their bent. A modopoly is the great desideratum at the moment. Nor is this to be wondered at; if we consider for a moment the immense potentialities as a revenue earning institution of an opium monopoly in Chivas
The eight witnesses have to my mind been guilty of the most flagrant conspiracy to defraud the alleged parber Wong Ka Chuen. They have each ope beca guilty of the most corrupt perjury, and in virtue of the provisions of the law which (section 31 of the Supreme Court Ordinance, 873), I commit each of them to prison for three months without bard labour." The seven appellants (the eighth winess, Wong Tar, being absent) served a fortnight of their sentences and were then rele used on bail pending appeals from the Chief Justice's order. Those appeals being unsuccessful, they now appeled, by spe- cial leave, to the Judicial Committee against the sentence. It was alleged on their behalf that be fore the sentence was passed on them they were not informed and did not know what statements of theirs constituted the alleged pe jury and had no opportunity of being heard in their own de fence and showing cause why they should not be committed. By the Ordinance in question the appellants being dealt with "as for a cou tempt of Court"--they were entitled to that
