The Working of the Revised Laws.
According to a Peking man who was found in the vicinity of the Paoho Throne hall the other day and arrested on the supposition that he was a would-be assassin: has turned out to be a lunatic named Chia Wan-fu. Out first information that he was executed the 'Y third day after his arrest appears to have been premature, although according to the old regime, prior to the revision of the laws by their Excellencies Wu Ting-fang and Shen Chia-pen, the ma being caught within the forbidden pro-cincts of the Imperial Palaces, and under ious circumstances, would have suffered the last penalty, whether Imatic sane. By the operation of the revised laws as sanctioned by special edict of Emperor, however, the extenuating circumstance of lunacy has been taken into account, with the result that the man. has been sontouced to imprisonment for life. The Chinese people have indeed something to be thankful for towards the revisers of the present criminal code of their country, and especially to H.E. Wa Ting-fang who first broached the quo of law revision.
