Sm—With reference to Mr. C. H, Lowe's letter concerning cannibalism, would appear that if cannibalism means eating up human beings' alive, itis obviously a kind of murder and punishable as such under the Criminal Code. If it consists merely eating the flesh of a dead body, the matier is not so simple, but think ik comes within the provision of paragraph 1, Art. 247 of the Code, the punishment provided being. imprisonment for a term wot loss. than six months and' not-more than five years, Shanghai, May 27.
