Chief-Inspector Wheeler, acting Registrar, informed the Court that since the last hearing of this case civil suit had been filed by} Inspector Dunne against all the defendants, individually. An officer sent to the French Consulate to get the summonses counter-signed was informed that only one of the newspapers, the "Eastern Times," was registered at that Consulate-'The summonses against these two defendants, therefore, were held) for consideration, and on the following day were returned with counter-signature. The other defendants were served, the French Consulate not claiming jurisdiction in their eases. "Later," continued Inspector Wheeler, "I received letter from the' French Consul informing me that the "Eastern imes" was a French commercial enterprise, and I replied that the action was not against the company, but against individuals.'
Asked what he meant by saying the other papers were "registered" at the French Mixed Court, Mr. Rodger said they had the "chop" of the French Mixed Court put on.
