When witness and his party got on board, they found eight men sleeping in the hold and 1 outside. The search re: vealed 2 mausers and 31 rounds of am munitions were found in the pockets of a jacket,

Continuing, witness said that three tins of saltpetre were also found, which weigh ed 1,763 pounds, and 12 bags of sulphur weighing 300 pounds.
Corroborative evidence was given by the Chinese searchers, and all the defend ants were sentenced to two years' hard

FORGED NOTES IN CIRCULATION? CHINESE CHARGED WITH TENDERING FORGED $10.
At the result of tendering an alleged forged Hong Kong bank note to a Chinese woman cigarette seller, a Chinese appear ed before Mr. R. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy yesterday.
According to the cigarette vendor's story, the defendant came to her stall in Cleverly Street, and ordered a packet of Three Castlea Cigarettes, for which he is alleged to have tendered in payment a $10 Hong Kong bank note. The woman, according to her story, uut knowing whe ther the note was genuine or not, banded it to her daughter to go and get it examined. A Chinese constable who chanced to be close at hand was given it, declared the note to be a false one, and took the defendant into custody.
.M.P. EJECTS A HECKLER.
BRITISH FASCISTI TO THE FORE..
PRESERVING FREE SPEECH.
Mr. E. G. Williams, M.P., of Read- ing, speaking recently at a Junior Im- perial League meeting at Kentish Town" Public Baths, pointed to a roughis- dressed man in the audience, who had interrupted him, and said:
I think the time has now arrived when that man should be removed."
He descended from the platform, step; ped up to where the man stood, and energetically belped a number of young Fascisti to bundle him outside, where bu was deposited on the wet pavement.
Young women sympathisers screamed Shame." and an elderly woman sup- brolla in their faces gleefully, and cried, porter of the League brandished an um-
That's the way to treat them 1"
T
Other Scuffies,
Several other scuffles occurred, and' more than a dosan men and women were ejected. Twenty women members of the London Special Eatrol of British Fascists who were present dealt with the women. Mr. Williams then resumed his speech. "I have come to the conclusion,' be said, adjusting his collar and smooth- ing his hair, that, the only way to deal with certain people to retain free speech is to put the fear of God in them.
I am noting as I have done because your chairman, with all his abilities, has one disability that he is not able to see those who are trying to break up the meeting."
This was a reference to the fact that Captain Ian Fraser, M.P., who presided, is blind.
The gathering was stewarded exclusive ly by young men and women of the British Facisti, and hardly had the interruptions begun when they became active.
An Undignified Exit.
One of the men who was ejected put up a stort fight, but they were too many for him, and as he disappeared through a side exit he fell at the feet of a police man patrolling outside.
A tall young man, who gave the name of John A. Waghorn, or Roskell-road, Putney, was carried away from the chairs to the back of the ball, and his clothes appeared to have suffered considerably.
WONDERS OF THE R.101.:
A GIANT STEEL AIRSHIP. Nothing appealed more to the Dominion Premiers than the development of British aircraft, writes the Aviation Correspon- dent of the Evening Standard.
Their interest was particularly stimu Plated by the exhibition to them of a remarkable model of the airship R101, which, with its sister ship, will be the largest in the world.
Many Forged Notes About? An official of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank was called, and stated that the note was a very good forgery, and was likely to deceive Chinese people. He expressed the opinion that there were quite a number, of false notes in circulent idea of the wonders of the new lation.
For the defence, Mr. D. McCallum said that his story was that the ccm. plainant first went to a foki of a shop nearby who was said to have found the note to be false, and that the woman then told the constable who took de fendant into custody.
The case was ultimately adjourned until to-day at noon, defendant being allowed bail in the sum of $500.

Under the auspices of Peacehaven Estates, Ltd., a gathering took place at the Holborn Restaurant, London, on November 10th for the presenting of an- other £1,125 Freehold House and the site upon which it stands Lord Teynham who presided said that in 1920 the value of the whole of the buildings on the Peacehaven Estates between Brighton and Newhaven was trifling, but to-day they represented something like £500,000 In the same year the population was 24 persons, but to-day it was over 4,500 and was still growing and there would be a railway station before long, Mr. P. W. Neville, promoter af Peacehaven, spoke of the growth of the town and the arrangements for further developments.

Instead of duralumia; R.101 is to glory in an expensive structure which for the main part will be of stainless steel.
The greatest care has been taken in designing the ship and this necessitated considerable delay owing to the large number of patient experiments that had to be made. In addition it was impera- tive that the shed at Cardington should he enlarged,

A SCHOOLBOY'S VIEW.
An eleven-year-old Streatham schoolboy has written the following in an essay on "Clergymen
There are three kinds of clergymen, bishups, recters and curats, the bishups tell the recters to work, and the curats have to do it. A curat is a thin married man, but when he is a recter he gets fuller and can preach longer sermour and becums a good man."
