KOWLOON NIGHT NUISANCE
Magistrate Hesitates to Act
TEN EUROPEAN COMPLAIN
Ten European residents of Katherine Buildings, Nathan Road, Kowloon appeared at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday morning, as complainants in a summons aguinat the Cathay Dancing Instituto "for creating a public nuisance."
Inspector Booker, who was in charge of the case, remarked that the summons bad been taken out as a result of continued complaints by the residents night noises created by the band at the Institute." The dance hall was directly on-! posite to Katherine Buildings and operated nightly until midnight.
The Magistrate,
Mr. Wyane Jones, remarked that he preferred to wait before acting is the case. He understood that the Government ne now actually making regula. finns for the control of these,
Institutes. or whatever you, call- them, and that he presumed that! the question before him would be one of the things dealt with in the new regulations. The orchestra of the Institute was an ordinary band and the trouble was that if he convicted the defendant now, similar charge might be brought. auainst the Peninsula and Hong Kong Hotels. It would not be long before, the regulations were issued And he thought it would be forcing the pace to act before them..

THEFT OF TILES
**WELL ORGANISED ATTEMPT," SAYS MAGISTRATE
Sentence of six weeks' hard labour was imposed by Mr. Mynne-Jones at Kowloon Magistracy yesterday on two Chinese who were charged with the larceny of 34 tiles from Shamshuipo."
The first defendant denied larceny but admitted receiving the pro perty, while the second defendant pleaded guilty to stealing.
Inspector Tuckett, who prose cuted, said after the tiles were found missing, a report was made to the Police, who found traces of the wheel-marks of a lorry near the spot where the tiles were stored. Inquiries at various garages in Shaushuipo resulted in a driver coming forward to say that he had taken a load of tiles to Un Long Following this clue, the Police found the man, who had bought the tiles and he in turn pointed out the first defendant as the man who had sold them to him. The first de- fendant then pointed out the second defendant.
The Magistrate: This seems to have been well-organised. What is the value of the tiles?
They
Inspector Tuckett: $42.48. Ar worth 12 cents each.
Sentence was imposed as stated.

The sense of the King being "among his soldiers, and their families, struck a deeper note than visit EN essentially ceremonial would have done, and was the more keenly appreciated.
No outward demonstrativeness could have given to the perceptive onlooker such an impression of deep feeling.
The keynote of the netual pro- gramme might be summed up in the words" oldest and youngest," These two chief features were pro- vided by the oldest regiment in the Army, the Royal Scots, and the youngest, the Royal Tank Corps. The one has just celebrated its three hundredth birthday, while the other is not yet ten years old as a per manent unit although before formal incorporation it had had eight years of illustrious history.
