I cannot spark too highly of this court and officials connected with it, and I hope that other correspondents and foreigners generally, if they are in the vicinity of thanghua, will find time to spend a. por-iron of the day in visiting it. The Chief of Court, Jiujeburo Kato, is a splendid man, I believe, and I have the greatest confidence "in his ability, but specially must I speak of Yashimo Hamasaki, the prosecutor fur the State. I have many friends whose friendship I value, but T have never met one who impressed' me more as a man of sterling. qualities than the gentleman of whom Ispeak., Iliad a most interesting conversation with him, continuing fcr the greater part of one day. I should like to speak much of him, but for fear of proving, tedious to certain foreign friends who seem to be possessed of the idea that to be a true man and a Japanese at the same time is almost an impossibility, I will but add that T am confident as long as Mr. Hamasaki represents the State in the Formosa Supreme Court, Chinese need not fear injustice, and Japinese will find that they cannot break the laws of their country with impunity.
