Shanghai mixed courts. A dissolute prodigal,
having a chain around his neck, to which his
hands Were fast, was brought up by his faith
en- inc parent, very respectable looking
man, declared he could make nothing Of the
prisoner He tried all means to cure him of
his propensity for smoking opium, but with
out elect II he gave him money, it went in
opium clothes were at once pawned to satisfy
ms cravings. Latterly he had been chained
up IN a house to see what effect that would
have but his appearance on that occasion
was because he had broken out, and had been
picked up by policeman. In fact the faith
er declared that he would be glad if the Court
would take him in hand and give him severe
punishment. The Judge advised him to give
his son another trial, and added that if after
one punishment he was incorrigible, Chinese
law would permit decapitaton on the consent
