Supreme ®o«rt anb Consular feette Shanghai, September 14th, 18G7. A matter which has not unfrequently formed a subject of animadversion in the public prints, has again been brought before the notice of the community in the course of the labours of the Assessment Committee, just completed. We al lude to the system of registering land which has long been in force in Shanghai. It is per- haps almost needlessly complimentary to call it a system afc all, as it is so full of defects as to be scarcely worthy of that name. The incon- veniences arising from this cause are so well known, that it is not necessary to dilate upon them at any length. They have...”

September \Ath 1867. terested in such matters, it is obviously better that they should be able to ascertain actual facts than be left to mere surmises, which may be far more pernicious to a man’s credit, that a state- ment of the real circumstances of any case. This object:on, therefore, is not of much weight, the more especially as so far as British subjects are concerned—and it is they who are most likely to raise such an objection—the law already compels the registration of both title deeds and mortgages at their Consulate ; and the formation of a general registration office would not be the introduction of a new element, but the consolidation of elements already existing. We trust therefore that the land renters will further consider this question, and that in conjunction with the Consular authorities a sys- tem of registration of a simple and easy nature may be set on foot. We may probably recur to this subject in a future number, when we hope...”

Claim for $29, balance for food aud lodging. Defendant admitted the claim, but pleaded inability to pay. An order was given for payment of $23 at once, and the balance $6 and $3 costs so soon as De- fendant has money. Tsang Ta-Yuan v. H. Lester. Claim for $29.70, for work done. Plaintiff, a building contractor, claimed from Defend- ant an architect, the sum of $12 for conveyance of timber from Tun-kah-doo, and for conveyance from Hongque $5.70, and watchmen’s Wages for 1 month at $12. This last item was disputed. Defendant had not told Plain tiff to engage watchmen, but had said that if the wood were stolen he would hold him responsible. Plaintiff said he engaged the men expressly to look after the wood. His Honor allowed the claim for $23.70. H. B. M. SUPREME COURT, POLICE CASES. September 6th 1867. Before R. A. Mowat Esq.

Vice Consul, officiating at his side, and Mr. J. Matthias Lloyd acting as Secretary. The Chairman in opening proceedings stated that, in consequence of a suggestion made to him by the Municipal Council, that his colleagues and self should ask some of the other Consuls to attend the meeting, and which beheld particularly to apply to the Consul General for Prussia,they had addressed that gentleman; and he regretted that a reply had been received which stated that Mr. Tettenborn could not attend, as the Council had not invited him to take official cognisance of their acts. This reproach the Chairman thought was not merited by the Council, who were merely an executive body, and could not exceed their powers, and Mr. Tettenborn stood in the same position as other Consuls not originally parties to the Land Regulations, and his...”

This body has, and can have, no other character,—all its acts beyond the scope of the Regulations being without legal force. The relations therefore of the officers of all Foreign Powers, whether with or without Treaties, with the Council must necessarily be executed, and cannot in any way reach to, or affect the public act itself in vir- tue of which it is constituted. The natural mode by which the new Treaty Powers could have placed themselves in the same position as the old, vis-a-vis the Land Regulations, was to intimate to the Chinese Government and the Representatives of the other Signatary Powers their desire to make their formal adhesion to the original convention—thus ac- cepting officially its obligations as well as its privileges. Why this was not done at the time the Prussian Lega- tion and Consulate General were established, our in- formation does not reach...”
