There are various rumours going about the settlement at the present time with regard to the political position which the foreign powers at Pekin are likely to assume in reference to the treaty revision, and one of no small import- ance is that France will in all probability take a bolder stand than the other powers are dis posed to adopt. The statement is that England and America will go together and will advocate as little change as possible ; Prussia and France —more friendly in these parts than at home— will represent the progressive and anti-Chinese school; while Russia will stand neutral...”

“...2 SUPREME COURT & CONSULAR GAZETTE. Januxry &tTb ISC'S logy between the increasing political power exercised by the Inspector General of Customs at Pekin, and that local jurisdiction which it was feared by our Consuls might fall into the hands of the Municipal Council here. Further, the same difference of opinion between France and the other foreign nations which has long been a subject of comment in Shanghai, is now observable at Pekin. While other nations, at least while England and America, are willing in some cases to allow debatable ground to be re- tained by the Chinese, and managed as best they can with the assistance of foreigners in their employ, France is for standing firmly upon her Treaty riglitsjand for not yielding a single point on the score of expediency. In some respects she is no doubt right; though upon other and perliaps.higher grounds, we may have reason to regret the line of action which she adopts. There is without question if not the same, at least an analogous dangerin...”

An advantage which, though not so great as the clearing away entirely of all taxes beyond the tariff 2T per cent, is nevertheless of an im- portant nature, will be secured. It is possible by placing very small taxes in succession upon goods in transit from one spot to another to burden them with a very heavy impost without ‘exciting much, if, indeed any-, ill feeling among the people. The result of this mode of taxation, ingeniously adopted hitherto by the Chinese, is simply to stop the goods from going beyond a certain distance ; and it is this check upon -ma- nufactures penetrating to the interior markets that has hitherto acted much to the detriment of our trade. Under the system now proposed foreign imports will be placed on the markets in the interior before a single cash of transit dues has been levied upon them, and, although at the place where they are finally sold they will no doubt...”

Gibbons left me at the time, and I went to my tea. About live minutes after I heard a scream. Knowing the voice to be Mrs, Gibbons. I quickly made towards their quarter. I saw Corporal Brickies and Private Constantine tusselling with Private Bryers. Brickies had his right arm and Constantine his left, taking the man to be drunk I went to assist them. I caught hold of Bryers by the back of the neck and saw a small knife fall out of his hand, I turned round and saw Lance Corporal Gibbons tottering out of the door. He got outside of the door and fell. I’took hold of his arm to lift him up, and found that his coat was covered with blood, and I sent off for a Doctor. We lifted him* up on his feet, and he said “for God’s sake lay me down,” We carried him inside and laid him on the bed, and then took off his clothes and looked...”

It was held that if the goods could have been sent on, but for the seizure, the de- fendants were not liable. Kent, C.J., said: “The point...”

Payment 'of Duties.—The uncertain standard of Hai quan Sycee in which duties have at present to be paid is very inconvenient, and weighs heavily on the trade of the Port. We recommend that duties be inade payable in the currency ef the place, and for the protection not only of the Customs Revenue but of foreign trade generally, government assayers should be appointed to assimilate the currency of the open Ports. Much confusion and irregularity arises from the dif- ferent standards and weights now adopted. Draiv Backs.—The term of 12 months within which draw-backs for duty on goods re-exported can be ob- tained is insufficient, such should be allowed to be claimed at any time on production of the certificate of export. These draw-backs should be made payable in sycee on presentation at the Government Bank.; hitherto they have only been available for the pay- ment of duties, thereby...”
