LAWN TENNIS,
About the beginning of last December I heard a rumour that, an estimate for lockers, for the men's club house had been called for. I wonder if the catimate has been received yet? It is high time we had lockers and by charging locker rent "the initial expense would soon be recovered and then the lockers would provide an additional income. The Com mittee are everlastingly complaining of the shortage of money but they do not take the trouble to increase the Club's income, by anch_methods. Put a dollar a month on to the subscription and there would be trouble, but charge a man a dollar a month rent for a locker and you will find very few, if any, lockets
to-let."

Consequently, they must have assigned two men to get posses ston of the weapon, another to attack Harnage Singh and the fourth the patrol. The Attorney-General suggested that the four men came down with the deliberate intention of killing Warder Speed. Not only did they intend to murder Warder Speed but they also intended to effect their escape from the jail. If the jury found that during that escape Warder Speed was murdered then that would be sulheient evidence for them to find a verdict against all four men, Even if only one man committed the actual ur der all four were responsible.
It was quite clear that the accused, was in the plot from the beginning and was moment at the last minute, as he declar not making an escape on the spur of the ed. There was another curious feature in this ense. The evidence would show that the police found footprints on a pieco of paper
in Warder Speed's office. Those footprints had been photographed but did not correspond with the photographed footprints of any of the other three men arrested in connection with the murder. Now, photographs had been taken of the accused's foolprints and they had been found to correspond exactly with the footprints on the piece of paper found in Wardor Speed office. The inference was that the accused was one of the men who took part in the murderous attack on the warder
