Outlining the case, Mr. Maitland said that it was one for damages for alleged trepass by the police. It was alleged that the police, when raiding an alleged gambling house at 15le, Bubbling Well Road, on May 5 Jast, elimbed on to the roof of plaintiff's house at 1003, Medhurst

Mr. Wright pointed out that the plhee had never been raided by the police though the police would like
to have done so.

On July 3, a letter was received from the municipal scere tary admitting that a member of the police had elambered on the rock and offering, without prejudice, to repair the roof but refusing to admit claims for monetary damages. The extraordinary part of the whole thing was that, in their answer now, the Council denied the, allegation.

Superintendent W. F. Fairbairn, in charge of the. Reserve Unit, said he did not see or hear anyone es- caping over the roof. Witness went there in the morning again but re- ceived no complaints of any damage being done or about the behaviour
of his men...
Sub-Inspector H. Willgoss said that, while the place was being barricaded, he heard a noise and shouting from an adjoining roof. Undoubtedly some people were crossing there, so he reported to his superiors and was told to go up and put a stop to it. He climbed up by means of a ladder, but did not break any tiles. He had to walk cautious- ly for his own safety.
In reply to Mr. Maitland, witness admitted that he did not nak for permission to get on to the roof because he did not have time. He did not take the trouble. He got there, but did not see anyone trying
to escape.

HAIRDRESSERS CONFERENCE.
The annual provincial confer- ence of the Incorporated Guild of Hairdressers, Wigmakers, and Perfumers was held at the Mid- Hand Hotel, Manchester, recently, Mr. J. Foster, of London, presid-
ing. The delegates, who came from Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield- ing, Birmingham, and districts, were welcomed to the city by the Lord Mayor (Culonel G. Westcott). Dr. E. T. Burke, Venereal Diseases Officer for the City of Sal- ford, read a paper on "Medical subjects relative to the trade." Referring to Salford's clinic for the treatment of venereal disease, he said he wanted to speak to them upan the relationship existing be tween their trade and public health. in so far as venereal disense
was concerned.
They must realise that the pro- blem of syphilis was of the very highest importance from a national
point of view, for there were
200,000 fresh infections yearly, and the infected population of England, and Wales at any given moment amounted to 2,300,000 people. The whole of the infected population passed through the hands of the hairdressers continuously, to have: its chins shaved and its hair cut and dressed. Syphilis was a con- tagious "disease, hence their trade could be a very potent factor in encouraging or in limiting the spread of the disease.
