Supreme (Konvi Httb Consular fedte ShaX&iiak, December 28tii, 18G-7. A case which was cited and approved in a judg- ment given by Sir Edmund Hornby in a recent cause, i.e. “ In re the Salacia,” heard at the Su- preme Court, has attracted some attention svrnong legal men, and is worthy of notice as be- ing of general interest.

It it possible that the Comparative Science of Pveli- gion, if it existed, might explain this and similar riddles at once. It is not our intention here to pursue the subject further, but we shall await with interest the continuance of the discussion so ably commenced by Mr. Nelson at the last conference.

John Kelly was charged by Captain Hughes of the Tamerlane with using language calculated to lead to a breach of the peace. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had gone on board the vessel, and upon the Captain’s enquiring whether he belonged to the ship had given vent to a volley of low epithets. He was under the influence of liquor at the time. His Worship ordered him to find two secureties in $25 each, or in default to be committed for a fortnight. The case in which A. Campbell was charged by Ching-May, with taking his furniture and selling its was further investigated on the 16th and 18th Decem- ber, but was finally dismissed, there being no ground, for the charge.

The evidence already taken was then read over to the witness, and the examination continued.—He did not see prisoner do anything, but attempt to stab Ber- nardo, and he saw nothing in the appearance of Ber- nardo, but he heard him say “ I am stabbed.” CurSadeen. a partner of the former witness, deposed that he had not seen the beginning of the fight. He snatched a knife from the belt of the prisoner just as the fight was over. Prisoner ran away immediately after and jumped into a sanpan. Dr. Carnegie, medical attendant at the British Con- sulate and practitioner at Amoy, deposed to the nature of the wounds of the man Bernardo. He had made a post mortem examination. The wounds had been inllicted by such a knife as he saw at the Consulate, and from the effects of these wounds the man had died.
