The charges against Mr. Saba- pathy were that he was drunk and incapable while in Court at Teluk Anson on September 18, 1928, and December 7, 1998, respectively. The Hon. Mr. S. Veerasamy represent ed Mr. Sabapathy..
Ocmplaints by the Magistrate. An affidavit by Mr. Joseph Dun- ford Wood, of Ipoh, secretary of the Bar Committee stated inter alia that on a complaint being made to the Bar Committee by the District Officer, Teluk Anson, against the professional conduct of Mr. A. T. Sabapathy, Mr. Wood, on the instructions of the Com- mittee notified Mr. Sabapathy to attend before the Committee at a statutory inquiry held on July 8. The inquiry was presided over by Mr. Wood,
Before the court of inquiry Mr. Sabapathy admitted that he was under the influence of drink at the time of the charges but was not incapable. He also admitted that he took into court 18 volumes of novels, but these, he stated, were intended to be given to the O.C.P.D. He also said that when he went to court he was fit, but he grew gradually worse.
Drunk and Incapable.
Mr. F. C. Greenwood; Magis- trate, Teluk Anson stated that while he was in court with Capt. North Hunt on the Bench at the hearing of a criminal case in which' Mr. Sabapathy appeared for the defence Mr. Sabapathy was very much intoxicated and, after a short while in court, he got up, walked out, and returned with an armful of books, which were spilt over the Bar table. Witness could see them from where he was sitting and noticed that the books were novela.

it possible that the art of both com poser and executants might have been better served had the piece been played with less artistry and more rigour. It was, however, 10- ceived with very genuine applause from an audience who can recog nine good work, even if they could not all appreciate it at its true value.
There followed a delightful song sequence "Poème d'un Jour" by G. Fauré, sung by Mrs. Bowes Smith. The music was new to me. and I do not know if it is intended to be sung, or ever is sung, with an interpretation different to that of Mrs. Bowes Smith. I felt as I listened to her that any other, more dramatic, rendering, would rob it of Its peculiar charm-that entirely sophisticated ingenuity and sim- plicity. As she sang it, music and words made a delicate pattern of romantic sorrow which has no rela tion at all to genuine Tragedy. This is perhaps one of the most charming. sange Mrs. Bowes Smith has given us, and I doubt if many singers, of her class, could reach anything like the complete artistry of her rendering. The Debussy songs which came later, an air from PEnfant prodigne " and "Man- doline," demanded and got a more dramatic rendering. The singer did

Witness said that to the best of his recollection, Mr. Sabapathy was then not able to conduct his case.parta of both, being supported by: He attempted to speak and several times he picked up one of the novels, looked into it and repre- sented it to be a law book.
"Wholly Incoharant.” With regard to the incident on Sept. 18 Capt. Hunt in his report stated inter alia: "He was barely able to stand upright, could un- derstand little or nothing of the case, and his cross-examination wax whelly incherent.

A Serious Offence.
The Chief Justice said it was a very serious thing for an advocate to do. There had been two. Deca- sions on which the man was in an ́incapable state. He did not think, the Bar Committee's proposal of one month's suspension an adequate punishment. Ho would suspend Mr. Sabapathy from practice from that date for a period of six | months,
