On Monday, the 4th inst., at the Supreme Court, a pleasing little ceremony took plice, The Registrar (Mr. Norton Kyshe) and court officials waited upon the Chief Justice and congratulated his Honour on being the recipient of the honour of knighthood, Mr. Kyshe being the speaker. Sir John Currington thanked them for their good wishes, and said the fact that the honour had been conferred upon him at such an carly period of his tenure of office as Chief Justice was proof of the importance that was attached to the colony by the Imperial Government. Possibly, but it is, I think; a stronger proof of the opinion held in Downing Srreet of the merits of Hongkong's Chief Justice.
