A SHANGHAI CRISIS
MIXED COURT DIVIDED CHINESE PRESTIGE HIT
(United P.A.—By Telegraph— Copyrightj (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Received 12.15 p.m. SHANGHAI, Sunday. A crisis has arisen in the judicial affairs of the international settlement, and international complications are probable. Since the partial rendering to China of the Shanghai Mixed Court, having jurisdiction . over Chinese and nontreaty foreigners residing in the settlement, there have been endless differences of opinion between the Chinese judges and the foreign consular deputies jointly presiding. The Dutch deputy over-ruled the Chinese judge in a case involving a reprimand to a Chinese lawyer guilty of contempt of court. An ultimatum was delivered by the Chinese president of the court to the consular body, demanding withdrawal of the Dutch deputy. This was rejected, inflicting a considerable blow on Chinese prestige. The situation may have far-reach-ing consequences. It affects the judicial status of every foreigner residing in China.
