"BEYOND MINISTER'S [ 'CRY-BABY' BANDITS. ACID THROWN INTO
POWER."
Rule Nisi Against Miss Bondfield.
A King's Bench, Divisional Court, consisting of Justices Avery, Swift, and Charles, recently granted 17 ex parts application made on behalf (of Mr. John Hall Barron, secretary of the National Trade Defence As sociation, for a rule nisi for a writ of prohibition against the Ministe. of Labour (Miss Boudfield) to show cause why she should not be pro- hibited from making an Order set- ting up Trade Boards for the whole of the catering trade.
Sir Reginald Mitchell Banks, K.C., who made the application, said that the writ of prohibition was sought in regard to an Order which the Minister of Labour might make under the Frado Board Acts, 1909 and 1918. In an affidavit Mr. Barron stated that the Asaociation was formert to protec the retail and wholesale trade in intoxlenting liquor. The Associa tion and other bodles supporting the application represented substan tially the whole of the licensed trade in England and Wales. Th Minister of Labour had given notice that she intended to make an Order applying the Trade Boary Acts to the catering trade.
In accordance with the provi sions as to procedure, the Minister directed an Inquiry, under Si Arthur Colefax, into the objections which were made to the proposed Order of which she had given notice. At this inquiry 68 notices Str of objection were considered. Arthur Colefax was invited to re- port that the Minister had no an Order in the power to make proposed form, or at all. Under the Act of 1918 the Minister. im- mediately on receipt of the report, would be able to make a special Order in the form objected however invalidly it were made, and as It might have us much effect though it were enacted in the Act Minister's Powers.
to.
"In my submission," stated MA Barron's affidavit, "it is beyond the powers of the Minister to make such a special Order."
The only power of the Minister was to make a special Order apply. ing the Act to a specified trade. and under the draft Order she pro posed to apply it to what she called the catering trade. But there was
uncertainty in the definition in the
3
draft Order, because the Minister attempted to include trades of widely divergent character, rang- ing from the licensed trade to the fried fish, ice cream and canteen trades..
It was an attempt to group those trades in one, which, said Bir Re- ginald, was beyond the Minister's power. It would have the effect of penallsing a trade in which the wages and conditions of labour were wholly satisfactory. In the
MURDERERS MEET DEATH WITH
A SMILE.
Dec. 13.
Sing Sing (New York)
The three "Cry-baby" bandits- James K. Butier, aged twenty; James Bolger, aged nineteen; and Italo Fernandi, aged twenty-two who earned their nick-name because of copious weeping at their trial, went to the electric chair calmly in Sing Sing Prison fo-day for the murder of a druggist's assistant.
The youths maintained an out- ward appearance of bravado for the bencit of their mothers, who re- mained at
their sides until the moment came for them to begin the march to the death chamber.
Their mothers waited in an ante chamber in readiness to take the remaina home for burial.
Butler was the first to go to the chair. He chewed gum furiously.
In a few moments Fernandi was brought Into the chamber. He nodded calmly to the prison officials Turning to the prison warden, he said. "All I have to say is, may God forgive you, for you know not what you do"-the same words used by Mrs. Ruth Snyder when she was electrocuted with Judd Gray for the murder of her husband in 1927
As he was strapped to the chair Fernandi added: "Bless my mother and sweetheart."
The executioner, Robert Elliott ill at ease, fumbled, whereupon Fernandi cried out, "Oh, come on and get this over with. Boys, I will try to die with a smile."
Boiger, the youngest of the trio. who was alleged to have fired the shot which killed the druggist, was the last to die. He cried out to the witnesses: "Gentlemen, I die as I have lived-with a smile."
the
case of the licensed trade Order excluded All off-licenco establishments, which were not catering establishments under the definition. Difficulty would arise in public-houses in which there was a salcon bar and a jug and bottle department, as it would appear that a person serving in the saloon bar, was in the catering trade, but if he walked a few paces and served drink for consumption off the pre- mises he would not be in the cator-
ing trade. Many anomalies appear
ed to arise under the definition.
Mr. Justice Avery-You may take a rule.
WOMAN'S EYES.
Blind Victim Asks That Case Be Dropped.
A sad case which had been post poned from June last, in order to produce a Chinese woman, who, It is alleged, is at present away in her country, and against whom charge of throwing acid into the Chinese woman eyes of another named Ching Lui totally blinding her, was preferred, was mentioned again, in the Kuala Lumpur Police Court on January 26, before Mr. G. A. de C. de Moubray.
Mr. C. D. Colbert, Court Chiet Inspector, said that he was given to understand that as long as the case had not been completed, the accused woman would remain in China, and not return to Malaya.
The woman, into whose eyes, it is alleged, the acid was thrown, who is totally blinded, said that she was a relation of the accused, and that it was a family.matter.
She desired to make a statement in Court. She was then led into the witness-box.
In reply to His Worship she.sald that she had come
to Court of her own free will to make statement.

His Worship warned the witness not to contradict what she had al- ready atuted in Court when the case was first called,
The witness repeated that she too was to blame for what had hap-| pened.
His Wership reminded tha woman that she had told Mr. Nash, the then magistrate who heard the case, that she did not have a quar- rel, but that the other woman hit her on the back with a stick and then threw some liquid into her
