		The Lord Chief Justice of _ England, Baron Hewart, heard last week in London the appeal of one Chung Yi-miao, a Chinese law student whom a lower English court had sentenced to hang for murdering his Chinese wife, also a young student.

		Of course Chinese surnames or "last names" come first, and the Lord Chief Justice should have said, "Chung is guilty," unless His Lordship desired to refer to the prisoner familiarly by his given name, which was Yi-miao, not Miao.
