labour passed on him at the last Hampshire Quarter Sessions after he had been convicted of breaking into a garage at Buriton, agar Petersfield, and the theft of a motor-car.
It was stated by Mr. A. 'T. Denning, who represented Jones. on his appeal against the convic- tion, that upon the instructions of the court Superintendent Ellis, of the Hampshire Constabulary, had made full inquiries. He had as- certained that, although Jones was identified at the trial by two people who swore that they saw him with the car, he was travelling about that time in an omnibus be- tween Cowes and Ryde, in the Isle of Wight.
Unfortunate Answers. = Fortunately for the man, he had. the ticket for that journey in his he
arrested pocket when Counsel asked "that evidence on that matter should be heard.
Mr. Anthony Hawke, who repre- sented the Crown, said he could not, in the circumstances, support the conviction.
then heard the The
court evidence of Sidney James Dibben, the Isle of Wight, omnibus conduc- tor.
Lord Hewart remarked that that evidence plainly proved that Jones was innocent of the charge on which he was convicted. Further materials before the court showed that a man.nlready in prison had confessed to the theft.
However, said Lord Hewart, Jones had only himself to thank for the position in which he found himself, for he had had several op- portunities of making plain what his defence was, and his unfor- Itunate answers to questions tended to confirm rather than remove the suspicion that had fastened upon him. It now appeared that he had been wrongly convicted, and he would be at once released.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 1st." Two Chinese made a desperate attempt to avoid arrest during a police raid this week.
