Mr. Gardiner, who is defending, re- marked at the outset that the defendant. Jad something to say as to why she acted. in the way she did, and he thought it was & matter which should be investigated hy the Secretary for Chinese Affairs. The facts were that the little girl had been with defendant for seven or eight years, and bad behaved herself fairly well until recently. Then several articles were m'ssed and another servant, a woman, was suspected and dismissed. Eventually it was found that the things still con tinued to disappear, and the child owned up that she had taken the things, pawned them, and, with the money, had bought fruit and delicacies. The pawnbroker conia uot assist them, because the girl had given the tickets to a small boy. The girl was punished, bircled, and after that she ran away. His client found her and brought her back, but she again ran Away to Yanmati. Again she was found and brought back, and her client decided that she would not keep her any longer, but would return her to her mother. With the idea of preventing her from running away again, she adopted the expedient of tying her up. Under the circumstances, his client would be quite willing that the cuse should go before the Secretary. for Chinese Affairs. The girl was a little thief, apparently..

Inspector O'Sullivan said the girl had been discharged from hospital and was now in Court. She was only suffering from bruises. The chatty which was tied to her back was an an iron one, and was vory heavy.

His Worship-Was defendant justified in going so far as doing this, do you, think. Mr. Gardiner ?

Mr. Gardiner-The girl was not tied. Inspector O'Sullivan--She had a chain locked round both legs. I made a mis take yesterday when I said the chains wore taken off at night. They were not." She was still chained.

Sanitary Inspector Taylor said that when he went to the house on the top floor a number of women ruibed into the cookhouse. He immediately thought there was a concealed case of small-pox. He knocked, at the door, which was opened, aad all the woman except one trooped One woman left in the room was eerouching over the small girl. He told the woman to get up, and she did so, and then he saw that the child had a chatty ted to her buck, and was bound round her legs with locked chains,

The sun was very powerful when this match was commenced on the Navy Ground, before a large crowd of spects tors. The game was fast and vigorous, Leach side having chances before Flimmer opened the scoring for the soldiers. Stevenson afterwards had hard lines, heading the ball just over the bar. The Athletic goalkeeper was kept very busy and brought off many saves in good style, but the soldiers were unable to get the ball past him again. Things looked very critical on one occasion when a foul was given against him for handling outside the penalty area, but the Chinesó even- tually got the ball away. A fine centre from the Athletic loft wing looked a per tain goal for the civilians, but the ball was put over. Then a fros kick awarded for hands gave them another chance, but a goal was prevented by a corner, The kick was beautifully taken, but only a goal kick was the result. Plimmer then sent his outside left away, and the latter got the ball nicely within mooring die tance, but finished badly. The interval arrived with the “D” Company one goal up.
