REAL MEANING.

រ

In other words, added counsel, it had meant that because a committed one crime, then he mast be guilty of another.

He objected to the manner in which the Crown had used the evidence in a general way. and there had been no suggestion that it should be used other than Kenerally.

He put in cuttings from the re- port of the Telegraph and S. C. M. Post, quoting them in extenso la the that the speech and prove manner in which the evidence of the Crown, particularly that of Zimmern and Christie, hud been used in a general way, which für-] ther prejudiced the accused in the eyes of the jury.

The effect of using the Crown évidence in such a way, was to sug- the gest to the jury:-"Look at mun you have to deal with.

NEW JETTIES CAUSE LOSS OF CUSTOM

Foochow, Aug. 23. A large number of the sampani population of Fouchow, about three thousand in fact, are in great distress because the build- ing of jetties near the Lang Bridge now enables passengers to disembark from the river steamers without having to use the small boats. It is a clear case of one man's meat being another man's poison; the convenience of the passengers is offset by the logs of the ferry men.

"My impression of the summing up" said Mr. Poiter, "was that the trin judge was sympathetic to- wards the prisoner, because he was fully cognisant of the tremendous attack which had been made on the credibility of Zimmern and Christie-an attack which required the most serious consideration, an attack likely to be successful.
