DANGEROUS DRIVING ON STUBBS ROAD.
FIFTY DOLLAR FINE IMPOSED.
He made e ples for preserving intact the insurance principle in services which were intended to pro vide only an insurance benefit and for distinguishing between risks that were insurable and risks which were not..
There was a very pressing danger of our-well-planned schemes of in- surance becoming confused and en- tangled with measures which, how ever expedient, had no relation to insurance at all.
Our countrymen did not mind paying for a thing as long as they knew they were getting valus for money. So long as a free gift was Mr. Schofield, at the Central disguised by such phrases as "pro- "coven Police Court yesterday imposed a longation of insurance,' henvy fue in a motor cyclist.

The defendant pleaded guilty. Sergeant Guild, who prosecuted, said the defendant had been driv-a ing towards Repulse Bay and, was following two motor cars up Stubbs Road. On rounding the second bend after Bowen Road, the defendant overtook the two CATB, which, together with another car coming down Stubbs Road, had to apply their brakes to allow the de fendant room in which to pass.
The offer, who was following the defendant, paced him at a speed of 35 miles an hour..
His Worship remarked that Stubbe Road was particularly don gerous for that kind of driving and imposed a fine of 850.
ENGLAND'S CENSUS.
SOME "OUTS" AND "INS.”
Keeping Persons In Beneft, "Under an insurance scheme the conditions under which an indivi- dual remains a member of it should be strictly adhered to, otherwise all autuarial calculations are rendered futile. If people drop out of in: surance, they should become the care, not of the insurance scheme, but of other branches of the social services better suited to provide for their, needs,"
Mr. W. Demuth is appearing for the accused and Mr. C. H. Nicoll,, A.SP, in charge of the Central Division police, is conducting the case for the Crown,
Tho alleged theft was committed in the Second Pulice Court on April 35 when a Chinese came to bail out an elderly relative who had been fined $10 and confined to the Court lock-up that morning pending th payment of the fine.
Mistaking, it is alleged, one of the constables standing near the lock-up gate for the orporal in charge, it is ani, the Chinose handed over 87-all int he had at that time-to him and went out to get the balance of 23.
On his return he handed the 83 to the proper person and asked for When the release of his relative.
a demand was made for the other 87 it was learnt that a mistako had been made and the money handed to the wrong constable. The two co tables sitting near the gale were Abdul Gani, the accus- ed, and the Chinese estable. The Chines "erented a row" and the parties were sent to the Central Station under the charge of a de Lective.
Money in Putten Alleged, Hore, it in alleged by the pro. secution, the missing 87 were found in the folds of the puitce worn by Gani while a search was being made by Mr. Kirkwood, proba tionary A.S.P. It is suggested by the defence that the Chinese con- stable who was also persent to be searched, stooped down as Gani. was undoing his puttee and pro- duced the missing 87.
From where did the 87 appear, before Mr. Kirkwood is the pro- blem.
In his evidence the Chinese con- stable stated that he took a prison or to the Second Police Court on the morning in question and put him in the lock-up. The constables in charge of the lock-up were Nos. 1211 and 735. On coming out of the lock-up he saw Gaui, constable No. 113, standing near the door and also saw the complainant Chin- ess in the preemt case: An old re- Intive of the complainant was in the lock-up.
"Saw Money Handed Over," Continuing witness said that he saw the complainant hand over some money in notes to Gani who walked out on to the verandah.
Some time later the complainant "made a row saying, "That con stable has taken my money and why is not the prisoner released." A detective who was present in Court spoke to the complainant as also the corporal in charge. Wit ness informed them thit Gant had taken the money and
after the matter was brought to the notice of Court Inspector Moeten, they all went to the Central Station.
In the charge room the corporal apoke to the sergeant on duty and when Gani's cap was removed wit- ness saw some money in the lin- By a pornicious system hundredsing.

"After all, the great merit of an insurance scheme in the fact that it is self-supporting. The country knowa, or should know, the exact extent of its liability, present and future, and that liability should not be increased unless the funds are thero to meet it. Whether or not the nation can find the money is a matter for Parliament to deter. mine from time to time. Therein lies security for the nation, sa woll as for the beneficiaries under the scheme."
