Parkhursts Defeated.

The Japanese procurers who,

but ill-advised would. be Parkhursts,
were discharged by Judge Frear
this morning. 1t was surprise to
people acquainted with law that the
frivolous charges against the men
could ever have been brought. The
attorneys in the case evidently bank
ed on the sympathy OF Judge Frear,
but Mr.. Frear is iurist and Judge
before he is man as long as he
holds the ermine of his office. All
regret the result OF the case but the
legal result was necessary conclu

the men and was as brilliant as ever
although his sympathies were the
other way.
