charged before Mr.. w. Meyrick Hew-

to excite a breach of the peace and
with refusing to obey the Consuls or
der to leave the native city of lchang
The defendants refused to recognize
earthly authority and claimed to have
direct communication with God. The
Consul held that the presence of these
ladies in the native city was danger
to the whole community, especially as
the Chinese authorities desired that
they should leave In his judgment
Mr. Hewlett said: 81 cannot recognize
your individual right to die, and it is
