Garde was the mainstay of his side and scored a capital 83; he was, however, badly missed by Lammert when be had made about 47; otherwise he made no mistake and hit hard and often.

The fielding of the Club team was execrable. Davies in particular being at fault. Several actul catches were mis ed Hooper and Lammert being the chief offenders
The Attorney-General (Hon. Sir Henry S. Perkeley) conducted the prosecation, instructed by Mr. H. L. Dennys, Acting Crown Solicitor. The charge against the prisoners, he said, was that while in charge of a truck they lost control of it and thereby caused the death of Wong Fuk. The question for the jury was whether th fatality was accidental or was caused by the criminal negligence of these in whose charge
the truck was.
Evidence was given by Wong Leung to the effect that the truck was coming down the street at Bellies Terrace under the charge of four meu, when it got leyond th ir control and collided with the deceased, an old man who was hawking tea. When the old man was knocked down the men in charge of the truck ran off;
three of them were afterwards arrested.
In reply to a question by Mr. Carmichael Witness stated that lie could not say whether or not the men in charge of the truck were careless; be considered there was an insufficiency
of men in charge of the truck.
Dr. J. M. Aikinson gave evidence concerning the nature of the injuries sustained by the deceased.
Lum Fook stated that he was a scaffolding contractor and employed the first prisoner to take a quantity of bamboo poles, etc., to a bonse in course of construction at Mosque Junction. He told the man that the bamboo poles had to be carried up, not taken up on a truck.
Acting Inspector D. Gourlay stated that he saw the truck which was brought loaded to the police station. The poles and plauking weighed, he calculated, over half-a-ton. It was too heavy a load for four coolies to bring down that bill; it should never have been attempted.
His Lordship in summing up said that some distinction, it appeared to him, should be made between the first prisoner and the other two, The second and third were not in charge of the track. The first prisoner was asked to take the bamboo poles to this house and employed the other two to do so. If the jury took that view of the case they would find that there was not so much responsibility resting upon the second and third prisoner as upon the first.
The jury returned an unca mous verdict of not guilty in respect of all the prisoners, who were accordingly discharged.
ARVED ROBBERY.
Ho Cheung. Lai Shing Chum and Lai Han were empanelled on a charge of having on 10th October near Samsuipo, they being armed with choppers and bludgeons, robbed Tang Chan of $359.

They pleaded noʻ guilty.
The following jury was empinelled: Messrs. F. E. C. Georg, D. Gow, S. Ma covitch, C. F. Ribeiro, C. Klinck, A. A. de Jesus, and H. A. L. Old-barg.
The Attorney-General stated that on the date in question the three prisoners with others boarded a passage-boat, declaring that they were office s and had come to search for opium. Having got on board, they committed the acts of violence that would be spoken to.
Evidence was then given.
BANKRUPTCY CASE.

CRESSY." A good game was witnessed on Thursday Club XV. winning by a goal (dropped) and a afternoon by a fair number of spectators, the
try (7 points) to mil.
The early stages of the game were noticeably for good play between the Club outside division, Campball at back proving a tower of strength, and from time to time getting the Club out of an awkward position. The three-quarters also played a good game, and A smart run by Pearce, after protly passing let Barnes in, the goil-kick, however, from a difficult position, failing. Shortly befors half- time the Creasy looked like scoring, but Camp- bll again came to the rescue. and the pressure was relieved. Ram nt aud Lewin put in some good work for the Cressy, but were rather feebly backed up, and just before time the Club gradually worked down to the Naval territory, where, after a lot of loose play in the open, Pearce got hold of the ball and dropped a magni. ficent goal, considering the light was failing. Immediately afterwards "no-si le was called, Besides the game resulting as stated above. thore mentioned, Clark and Wolfe were very good in the scrimmage, and the two halves, Thornhill and Jordan, showed up well, while Arthur was at times conspicuous.
