"DEAD LETTER”..
Wan
Ngau Sze, married woman, convicted by Mr. E. W. Hamilton, at the Central Magistracy on Saturday morning, on a charge of having in ported into the Colony on board the aleamer Chuen-Chow 100 tins of un- manifested saccharine. Sho
WON bound over in a canh security of $100 to come up for judgment within twelve months.
.
Mr. Hamilton, however, added that he would release defendant from the nocurity, if the saccharine was sold in Hongkong.
Mr. F. 11. Losoby appeared for the defendant, and Mr. J. Barrow, Assis- tant Superintendent of the Imports and Exports Department prosecuted, with Mr. A. W. Grimmitt, Revenue Officer.
In his judgment on the case, Mr. Hamilton said that on the question of the definition of the word "cargo", he was satisfied that it was not neces: eary to have a cut and dried do Snition of any particular thing, as unchanging as the laws of the Medes and Persians, of everything mentioned In the Ordinance. Yet there was a Bat of certain things which were not cargo, and thoso, seemed to him to argue that the word "cargo" must be construed in a reasonable way, as any reasonable man or body of men would do. It seemed to him that the decíalon must be governed by the special facts of the case, as revealed in the evidence. Unfortunately, he added, Mr. Leseby had not produced evidence.
The Ship's Manifest.
On the question of the ship's mani- fest, Mr. Hamilton held that he had it in evidence that the document pro duced in Court was known as a ship's know- manifest. It was within his Jedge that a prosecution for exporting unmanifested cargo had failed on the production and proof of Just such on- other ship's manifest as the one pro- duced in Court. With the reper cussions in regard to different typen of prosecutions under the Ordinance and Order-in-Council, he was not con- cerned. He simply observed that he had the statement before him, and he was Batiafled. The fact that Mr. Loseby aald he could not find any de finition of a ship's manifest, and con- sidered there was no such thing, seem
an obiter "dieturi, ed to him to be which, unsupported by evidence or authorities, could not be taken

Metals. During the past fortnight wil the steel market has shown some little revival and as far as can be ascertained orders totalling about b. 2,000 tons of bars have been placed.
