THE CHAROE AGAINST AN INSPECTOR OF DVILDINGS
By Mr. Bowley-I did not see Pir. May, 20 far as I remember. The complainant in Decem- ber was sazimoned by Mr. Crisp in connection with houses 25 and 27 Hollywood Road, and wes made to rebuild the party wall there. We also wanted him to rebuild the front wall at No. 27. but afterwards, on finding that the wall was not to dangerous as it at first appeared to be, we withdrew the require. ment to pull it down. The carrying-out the requirements of the Buildings Ordinance is a very small portion of my duties, but it is the defendant's sole duty, and his reports to me would carry great weight.
By his Worship Mr. Crisp's original raport on, the front wall at 27, Hollywood Hoad appeared to me, when I visited the place, to be quito justified.
This concluded the examination of Mr. Tooker, who was in the box for over two hours, The farther hearing was adjourned till Thursday morning, i inst., at ten o'clock.
SPURIOUS MILK CARE DECISION. His Worship gave the following decision in the case in which Li Ping, shopkeeper, 13, Wing On Street, was prosecuted by Dr. Clark, Medical Officer of Health, for selling condensed wilk in an unwholesome state, and in an unft condition for human food: →
The defendant was summoned before on the 21st May, 1901, under Section 21 of the Public Health Ordinance. 1901, for he unlawfully did expose for sale certain food intended to be used as human, food, to wit, tins of condensed milk, each food being unfit for human food.
It was proved in evidence to my satisfaction that the defendant, who keeps a marino store at No. 49, Wing On Street, did, on the 19th May, 1901, expose for sale time of condensed milk which were unfit for human food.
The defendant, who said he was ordered out of the house by the complainant, was dis surged.

That is the beginning and the end of Japanese policy as far as Russia is concerned; and Japan will be able to effect this when the time comes, because the heart of the nation will be in the work and because she understands her subject.
