REPORTERS ASKED TO LEAVE COURT
The China Mail presents respectful compliments to Mr. RE. Lindsel Magistrate, and begs to inform him that it thinks he did wrong in asking the newspaper reporters to leave the Court.
As representing the public, they have the right to remain, or how can the maxim, Fenorantia non excusat
em, stand?
As regards the non-publication of un'wholesome details, he may safely leave that to the editors, who know their business.
He is informed that the public is already moved by considerable feel ing with regard to this case, and that it is desirable for the Crown to have impartial witnesses present to testify to the proper conduct of the trial.
This is all at present.

"Let us through." a soldier shouted 'we're after the Bolsheviks."
But not a policeman stepped back. The crowd pushed their leaders on to them: taunts and jeers were screamed out, and still no policeman moved.
