OLD RESIDENT OF JAPAN.

The death of Mr. Harold Essex Reynell, in Kobe, on July 23, in his Slat year breaks another link be- tween the old days in the Far East and the present. Mr. Reynell, who was known throughout this part of the world, came to Jupan there in Nagasaki. Shortly after this he became tutor to Prince Hsuchow Retaken.

Defendants were represented by Mr. C. A. S. Russ, whilst the pro secution was in the hands of Ser geant Carey.

Somewhat later, Mr. Reynoll joined a commercial firm engaged in the black tea trade and even- tually, once in commercial life, ho established his own business in the general export and import commission line.

Before he could do very much, however he was asked to go up to Nanking by Marshal Chiang Kai-shek to call a National Conference of financial authorities in different provinces under the Nanking jurisdiction.

WEST POINT CASE.

MACISTRATE DECIDES TO BIND. OVER DEFENDANT.

In regard to the point held over by Major C. Willson on Weches day last, when he promised to re- consider whether or not Percy Sidney Lai could be found guilty of resisting and obstructing Ser- geant Haywood in the execution of his duty, it is learned that the Magistrate has now definitely found that Lai did resist and ob struct Sergeant Haywood and has accordingly bound him over in the sum of $100 to be of good be- haviour for twelve months.
