The report of the termination of the Bankruptcy- proceedings in the case of the firm of Lyall, Still & Co. of Hongkong, is pregnant with matter for reflection. The compliments which the Chief Justice, the Official Assignee, the Bar, and the secured creditors all united to pay to the Bank- rupts were, we have no doubt, sincere; but what the particular conduct of the latter may have been to have given rise to them we have not the faintest conception, unless indeed the charmingly clean appearance of the Bankrupts books elicited these marks of approval. We decline to echo...”

If this is the law, the community have a right to know whether it has been transgressed, and if it has been, they have an equal right to look to the administrator of the law, for its vindication. For our own part, however painful it may be to those who are called upon to act the part of ministers of justice, to censure conduct which they cannot and ought not in the interests of morality to approve, and however grateful to the warm hearted it may be to express sympa- thy with misfortune, there can be but one opin- ion that an expression of uncalled for, and therefore generally unmerited, praise is damaging not only the interest of the individual, but more important still to the cause of public morals and justice. There is a story told, if we recollect aright, in one of the Satires of Horace, which is strikingly illustrative of a certain line of conduct very frequently adopted by the foreign residents...”

“...July 13th 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 15 We have been led to make these observations from various articles and communications which have recently appeared in the local papers and in those of Hongkong, in reference to the re- vision of the Treaty, and in which the idea that the Chinese may upon that revision ask for some concessions which they themselves desire, has been treated as one scarcely worthy of being entertained; while the British Minister has been pronounced as egregiously at fault in having liinted at its possibility. Yet few can conscientiously believe that this is a contingency which our authorities are not bound to take into consideration. It is easy to advocate ignoring the Chinese Government; but foreign nations, who have to guard the interests of the whole of their countrymen and not those alone of a limited section, are alive to the danger of disturbing the existing order of things, defective though it be in many respects. Foreign nations, as a whole, would...”

“...16 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. July 13/A 1867. The transactions of the Shanghai Branch of this Bank, both in exchange and in local matters, have been generally regarded by mercantile men capable of judging upon the subject, as having been successfully and prudently conducted; and we are not without hopes that an Institution which stands so well with the public, and which has weathered a storm in so fair and honorable a manner as has been the case with the Agra Bank, will in the course of time be re-establish- ed, when the business of the concern has re- covered its strength. A policy of concentration has been adopted, and probably under present circumstances wise- ly adopted, by the Directory, and the Australian Branches have been already closed, so that the Bank’s business is now confined to India, the chief branches being at Bombay and Calcutta. We are glad to hear that the Directors have appointed Mr. Morriss, who has long conducted the affairs of the Bank here, and stands well...”

Before R, A. Mow at Esq., Municipal Council v. A. Ferguson, The defendant did not appear. George Roggers, Municipal Tax Collector, produced the assessment book in which Mr. Ferguson’s house No 27 Nankin Road was assessed at an annual value of Tls. 800 (the old assessment). On this the House and Lighting rates amounted to Tls. 3.75 Mr. Roggers also produced debit note which had been given to Mr. Fer- guson on 11th June. He said “ It is all right, send it in for collection.” The Inspector had been almost daily from the 3rd to the 30th, but the money had not been paid. An order was granted for immediate payment of the sum claimed, Tls. 3.75 and costs $3. H. B. M.’s SUPREME COURT, POLICE CASES. July 3rd, 1867. John Manthei, owner of the pilot schooner W. C.

I then went on board the Blanchard, brought the things off and put them on board Johnson’s boat (the Dodger). This was about 12 or 1 o’clock. I put them in the cabin and in the fore part of the boat. Some of the things were mine. The cabin door was locked but I got the key from the laudah. He let me do so because he had been at Johnson’s when we came to the agreement, nobody objected to my putiing the things there. I locked the door again and gave the laudah back the key. I swear Johnston was not with me. To my know- ledge he never saw them. I did not tell either Johnson or Mrs. Johnson where I got the things. They thought they were mine. 1 saw Johnson for the second time at Turner’s, 1 think. I do not remember what took place. I was drunk.

“...20 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. July 13th 1867. Your Excellency will no doubt see in this, as well as other matters, how utterly the treaty rights of British merchants are ignored by the authorities, and how urgent- ly some measure is required in the approaching revision of the treaty, which shall for tlie future prevent any sudden and arbitrary restriction of legitimate trade. Your memorialists would respectfully beg that your Ex- cellency will in this, as well as in the matter of the illegal taxes, do whatever lies in your power to obtain redress, [Signed by all the British Mercantile Firms in Amoy.]— China Mail.

“...July 13th 1867. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 21 from the Chinese assistant Engineer having foolishly withdrawn the water from the boiler before taking out the fires. Amoy.—The merchants of Amoy have presented an Address to Sir Rutherford Alcock, which we publish in another column, in which they complain of the heavy inland taxation upon foreign goods. The arguments adopted by them are those already familiar to our readers and over and over again advanced at this and other treaty ports. The ex- tent of the illegal taxes amounts to a percentage which is hardly to be believed. Those on Camlets and Sugar are the highest, and perhaps the most unreason- able, sometimes reaching nearly 60 per cent on the lat- ter article. Sir Rutherford has, it is said, expressed his intention of taking immediate steps to abolish the Le-kim; and so far as its direct imposition is concerned, there is no doubt of his success, but the old difficulty of preventing the Chinese authorities from obtaining large...”
