the proceedings for the surrender to Canton of three alleged fugitives from justice were resumed."

The affair was enacted in front of the South China Morning Post building, and several Europeans were quickly on the spot, one of these being the Rev. Mr. G. E. 8. Upsdell, who happened at the time to be in the Automobile Association headquarters in the Hongkong Tele- graph office, and was able to attend to the woman, whose injuries he bound up as best he could while awaiting the arrival of the Police and ambulance.

When the affair was sifted it was found that the woman was an amah employed by a Chinese house hold at No. 4. Wyndham Street. The trouble started consequent on a visit, it is said, by her husband, and the dispute being carried into the street, assumed a tragic aspect when the man resorted, it is alleged, to violence.

He is alleged to have stabbed his wife in several places with a pair of scissors.

The attack took place as they were coming down the staircase from the floor on which the woman worked, and the woman in spite of her rather serious condition, managed to get away and run for some distance before finally collap sing after she had turned into On Lan Street.

Since the last remand, representa tions had been made to the Canton Police regarding the arrest by Chinese soldiery of a party of five men, including two photographers, engaged at Canton, who had gone up-country from Hongkong to take photographs of the scene of the alleged murder.
