A change in the nature of business at Hankow is gradually becoming apparent, of such a kind as it may be hoped will tend in some measure to restore an equilibrium to the overwrought Trade, which has of late years brought about such disastrous results. Gradually the Chinese are commencing to bring their Teas down to Shang- hai for sale, in place of disposing of them at Hankow. This alteration in their mode of trade has been brought about by various causes, but it is chiefly to be ascribed to the increasing lack of confidence in the firms at Hankow. We are disposed to regard it is a satisfactory...”

July 20th 1867 obtain an advance of foreign capital upon his Teas to their full value without parting with possession of them, so long we may be certain, will it be impossible for us to purchase at rea- sonable rates. But on the other hand, if the native dealers see the stock on the market accu- mulating while he is anxious to obtain his funds, he will be willing to come to reason, and trade may again be conducted upon something like a sound footing. The struggle at Peking between the reactionary and the anti-reactionary parties that are un- derstood to divide the Chinese government on the important question of education in science under foreign direction, still continues. Those who feel any interest in such matter will not have overlooked the Decrees of which transla- tions have appeared in these columns, announcing the decision of government in favour of a pro- position the novelty of which its supporters strove to veil by the specious argument that...”

Henceforward, ministers high and low, be pure of heart ; strive one and all to rectify what is amiss [in the sovereign], to the end that sovereign and minister each moralising the other, the seasons may be moved to harmony.

“...SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. JulyWth I$67 I found in the prisoner’s room. On the corner of the paper is an emblem of a flying dove, the same as on the note purporting to come from Hut Sing. Those (produced) are the sheets of blotting paper. On the blotting paper are the words “Patna” and lower down apparently that “ Cowasjee.” I found the letters similar and also found by measurement that they correspond in place with those on the forged order. (Jross examined by Prisoner.—I found similar papers in your bed room. E. da Stlva.—I am in the employment of Mr. Car- valho, printer and stationer. On the 2nd July Mr. Reuben came in and ordered an opium order book. We had none ready. He gave me verbal instructions to make one. I got different specimens. He turned over the leaves and chose one particular form. This is printed for Cowasjee, Pallanjee & Co. As it had the word “Patna” on it fie decided on another form leaving the kind of opium blank.

It was half past three when I went home and got Hut Sing’s letter from my boy. When the forgery was discovered, I went at once and assisted towards finding Hut Sing. Did these actions look suspicious? Then how comes Lechow or Hut Sing to say that he had no transactions with me and that he knew nothing of me? At the last hearing, I was so be- wildered by my position, that I did not point out the improbability of his statement that he knew two or three Parsee Brokers, but knew nothing of me. There is the evidence of the constable that when I called him he answered to his name. The Chinese are a match for foreigners in nothing but duplicity and cunning. If the fact of my receiving Hut Sing’s letter be believed, the evidence against me falls to the ground. As to what 1 said to Mr. Morris, 1 had been cautioned and...”

“...JulyWth 1667. SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. 29 The prisoner alleged that he went to the store room to get a knife. The Prisoner was sentenced to three month’s ini’ prison ment. July \5th 1167. James Nephan, of the ship Wild Deer, was charged with being drank and disorderly. Henry Granswick, Master, stated that at 1.30 a m. on Saturday he came into the saloon and attempted to turn down the light, stating the mate ordered him to do so. When asked next morning why he entered the cabin, he gave no definite answer but tried to excuse himself. At 12 o’clock he was in a drunken state and very noisy. Witness warned him that if he were so again he would be given in charge. At six the same day he became more troublesome and wanted to fight several of the crew. The witness went on shore to get him taken in charge and on coming back found the mate had put him in irons. David McDouall, Carpenter, testified to the prisoner having threatened him with a knife ; and John Maden to his having struck him...”

“...SUPREME COURT &. CONSULAR GAZETTE. 30 The Attorney-General was not speaking of or refer- ring to depositors, but to trade creditors. Mr. Pollard said such had been paid over seven months ago. The t ’hief-Justice said this was aside from the issue before the Court, and he could not notice such matter as this. The Attorney-General continued at length to argue the proposition already stated. In reply, Mr. Pollard submitted that there could be no doubt as to the power of the court to make this or- der, and this was the only thing necessary to support in the order. There had been no collusion in the acts of the bankruptcy, and this was all that was declared illegal by the act. It was n- >t collusion as to the peti- tion, and this was what was stated in the affidavit of the applicant. Had they been guilty of collusion on the acts of bankruptcy that would be another matter. As to acts, if when the time came they were not able to show acts of bankruptcy, then of course they could not be able to...”

It can only be hoped that something may be done before next summer ; but in the present impecunious state of the community such a hope is almost too sanguine; unless some enterprising individual be found to undertake the erection of such a bungalow as suggested, as a matter of speculation. A case having an interest disproportioned to the amount claimed, has occupied the attention of the Supreme Couat, namely that of Sutherland versus Johnson. In this the plaintiff claimed pilotage of a vessel part of the distance from sea to Shanghai, though ho had not received a license according to the Regula- tions promulgated in November 1866. The Assistant Judge basing his decision on the Merchant Shipping act and upon actual service rendered, gave a decision in favor of the Plaintiff, but the case being brought before the Chief Judge for re-hearing, His Lordship, on the grounds that a sum could...”

Tea :—Black : An important business has again been transacted in this description. It is difficult to realise a fact of this nature, seeing that our Export figures are now, and will be under any circumstances for sometime to come, very adverse. No doubt a confidence in the strength of holders—a strength which 4 months’ Bills will be unable to break, is in a measure the hope of the fortunate shippers, and we trust that October account sales will bear out their confidence. Another occurrence in no respect more strange than that of large...”
