of the magistrate has been the beating of the Consular gate-keeper for not keeping the road clean when he called on the Consul. We wonder why such a thing should be allowed by the Consul. It is generally reported that the magistrate is anti-foreign. He is showing his animosity very markedly and not being brought to book for it. If the servants of British subjects are to be thus rudely beaten without protest and protection from the British representative, there will be further trouble.
