"The function of the foreign im- porter in the trade of South China" was the subject of an interesting lecture given by Mr. P. S. Cassidy at the University last night, be- fore a large gathering of members of the Law and Commerce Society. Mr. Cassidy sketched in detall the advent of the foreign importer Into the trade and commerce of South China: how he came to act as a link between the foreign producer and the Chinese consumer: how he organised his business, and lastly what the futuro held out for him.

Dwelling in the first point, the lecturer said that the Portuguese entered the trade and 'coramerco of South China from the end of the 15th. century. They were followed by the Dutch, and later by the East India Company, which was chartered in 1600 and which held the monopoly for British trade until 1834. The trade was mostly in allk, but by the end of the 18th, century tea had become an article of greater importance.
