A very pretty wedding was celebrated yesterday afternoon in St. John's Cathedral: The bride was Miss Edith Marjorie Sinton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Sinton, of Banford House, Gilford, Co. Down, Ireland, and her husband is Lieut, R. F.. Wright, of the H.K.S.R.A. Lirut. Wright is extremely popular both among. his fellow officers and in Hong Kong society in general and was for some months A.D.C. to His Excellency the Governor during Captain' Whyte's absence on leave last year,
His Excellency the Offror Administering the Government (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southern, CMG) during the course of a charm- ing speech said that Lieut. Wright is known throughout the length and breadth of Hong Kong as "Tim" which was about the high. est compliment which could be paid to any man. » rin satı

THIEF'S ADVENTURES INSIDE A HOUSE.
MAGISTRACY STORY,
On Monday afternoon, a Chinese entered a Japanese residence, No. 20, Queen's Road East, through a door which was closed but not lock- ed. The inmates at the time were having a nap. From the packet of a coat hanging on the wail he took a watch and chain 'and a purse. There was also a bunch of keys with which he was proceeding, to open a box when the master of the house awakened. Finding that he way ob- served, the man quickly hid "hiz- 'self among some bedding.
This story was told when the man was charged before Mr. R. E Lindsell with theft and admitted the offenco. The man was describ ed by Inspector Macdonald as an old offender who visited houses in Wanchai with samples of charcsal and sneaked out with anything he could lay his hands on.
Defendant was sentenced to two
months hard labour.

- The bride was given away by her husband's cousin, Mr. J. F. Wright, and attended by four bridesmaids and two pages, the Misses Peggs Wright, Joan Coutts, May Han- cock and Jean Mackie, and Masters Mickie and John Le Gros. The best man was Lieut. C. N. Joy, RA, and there were three other groomsmen, Lieuts, K. W. Maurice- Jones, D.S.O., B.A., A: H. Musson, B.A., and A. T. J. Graham, R.A.
The bride ware a very lovely mediaeval gown of white georgette trimmed with pearls with a long train to match. Her tulle veil was held in place by a small coronal of pearls and orange blossom. She carried a bouquet of white roses and chrysanthemums.
The two pages who carried her train were dressed in Kate Green away white satin suits.
The four bridesmaids ware pretty tracks of deep coral georgette with cape backs, and hats of a deeper tone felt with satin shoes of the. same deeper tone. They carried bouquets of wine red chrysanthe- mums and ferns.
The Cathedral was well filled by friends of the bridegroom and special seats were set aside for the men of his own company who subsequently drew the bridal car to Government House.

Government House (a reference which again caused a good deal of laughter). His Excellency was sure that Mr. Wright would make as perfect a husband as he was acceptable as an A.D.C. and although he did not ofter quote poetry he would like to repeat two lines of Dryden which seemed singularly applicable to the bridegroom:
"What a'er be did was done with
so much case, · ·

He had great pleasure in propos ing the health of the bride and bridegroom.
When the toast had been druak, His Excellency called for three cheers for Mr. and Mrs. Wright, which was very heartily accorded.

His Worship thought there might be, serious miscarriage of justice if he convicted, although he appre- ciated the difficulty the police have in such cases.
In the present case the owner- ship of the scissors could be taken as legitimate. After all, a pair of scissors is a pair of scissors. If the two pieces were apart they might be termed daggers.
Defendant was given the benefit of the doubt and discharged.
TRAFFIC OFFENDERS.
Fines ranging from 810 to $80 were imposed by Major C. Willson on seven Chinese drivers of motor vehicles for speeding. There were also twenty-one obstruction cases for which lesser fines were imposed.
