There have been many vicissitudes in the career of the Court: its actions have at times been whole heartedly condemned by the foreign community ard at other praised, snd on occasion a deadlock seemed to have been reached. These epi-Isodes are all told interestingly by Mr. Kotenev, and in a way that cannot. but commend the book to the atten-of the public. In fact in Mr.
otenev's hands the Mixed Court, so far from leading a drab. sort of existence in North Chekiang. Road, becomes a live entity, full of the stuff of which romance is made.
There is a second part to the book, and this is invaluable to those whose business takes them to th ither as lawyers or litigants, Herein are set forth the present rules of procedure, the Chinese Criminal Code, Supreme Court decisions, rules regarding of non-extra-commerce, publication, copyright and so forth, and the Land Regulations and by-laws of, the Settlement. These, combined with the previous historical survey lof the Settlement and Mixed Court, the record of decisions and so forth, make the work of Mr. Kotenev invaluable.
