ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR LABOUR
MOTION BY THE PRIME

QUESTION OF PROCEDURE Lindon. Yesterday. The Government was defeated in
"If house servants abuse the trust given them, they will be heavily penat. ised," declared Mr. Whyte-Smith at the Kowloon Magistency this morning when a Chinese clerk, named C. C. Cheung, pleaded guilty to the theft of the House of Commons this after- a clock from Mrs. F. M. Booth, of noon, when motion by Mr. Airlee House, Peking Building.
Ramsay MacDonald for the sus- pension of the eleven o'clock (night) rule was defeated, the division resulting:
The accused, who spoke English, said "That morning, about ten o'clock, Mr. Ogilvie (who is proprietor of the hotel) went out and left me in the hall. The telephone bell rang and I answered, and found that it was a call for Mrs. Booth. So, clr, I went to her room, and after opening the door, I saw that the lady was out. But my cyon saw the clock, and it was a great taste for my heart, and so I took it away. Now I know that I have done very wrong, and I am sorry for it. I ask for your ex- cuse."
His Worship said that he took a very serious view in cases of theft where house servants were concerned.
Sentence of four months* jail with hard labour was passed, and his Wor- ship ordered the return of the clock to Mrs. Booth on payment of $1 to the pawnbroker.

KWEIPING THE GOAL
Canton, Yesterday.
The forces of the 61st and 3rd Division under Chiang Kwong.nei and Li Yang-king together with Lui Woon-yim's loyal troops have concentrated along Watlam and Hingyeh, preparatory to launch a general offensive on Kwelhalen, while the forces of the 6th Route Army are advancing from Ping- nam to Konghow, with Kwelping as their objective.
General Chu Shao-liang, C.I.C. of the 6th Route Army, proceeded on March 28 to the western front with his chief of staff Chang Chun-pu, in order personally to direct opera- tions.
To strengthen the rear defence, the brigade under Wong Chih-chun, who were stationed at Kwongning and its surroundings, were trans- ferred to Wuchow yesterday.'
Canton Wuchow Communications
Since the movements of troops to the Kwangsi front, the bandits along the bank of West River have become very active by extorting money from vessels passing their barriers.
