A PECULIAR CASE.

Toxic for Gambling.
An extraordinary trial, known as the
judicial gam bling case, has just come-to
an abortive conclusion at Toxic What
lent unusual interest to the case was
the fact that the defendants accused of
illegal gambling were no minor person
ages, but the president and, six judges
of the supreme court. The alleged Of
fenYe with which they were charged
consisted in playing cards in q tea-house
with some of the dancing girls of the
capital for partners. Owing to tae high
position Of the accused and the fond
ness of the Japanese for euphemisms
the case was known in polite circles as
the "dower play matter" because the
game Of cards in which the judges are
supposed to have been indulgings was
the Japanese game of ''hana-awase,' . or
''dower-matching," so. called because
the cards bear representations of vari-
Gus kinds OF flowers, which have to be
brought into couples by the players. .
OWING to the grave scandal occasioned
by such charges being preferred against
the law, strenuous efforts were made to
hush the matter up, but the accused
judges, especially Judge Kojima 1ken,
the president of the supreme court, de-
clared their resolve to have the whole
matter thoroughly. sifted. The most
eminent counsel on, the Japanese bar
wers retained and . special tribunal,
called an admonition tribunal, was
opened In the administrative court for
the purpose Of conducting the investi-
cation. The inquiry, which was con-
Quoted with closed doors. has resulted
in the court pronouncing the defend
ants to be beyond the reach Of prosecu-
ton. /" III :. F.-'
As an instance 81 the extraordinary
excitement caused by the whole affair,
it may be mentioned that the recent
resignation by Viscount Tanalxa, of the
ministry of justice, was rumored to be
in consequence of the ex-minister con-

dalcus incident during his tenure of the
