MALAYAN CHAMPIONSHIP WON

British Record Broken
with help of PHOSFERINE
CHAMPION 001 LEONG TEIK writes :---
Tia with the greatest pleasure that I write to testify to the benefits i have received by taking Phosferine during my training for the 1931 Malayan Weight Lifting Championships.
As i had to reduce some seven or eight pounds off my normal bodyweight in order to enable me to compete in the p-stone class, I had to go into very strenuous training. and with the help of Phosferine, I not only won the championship of that class, but also the Individual Championship, and, in addition broke a British Record.
I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Phosfering to any physical culturist or athlete. whether he be in ordinary training or preparing for a competition, as it

(November 9, 1858)
We understand that the Marine who was sentenced to death by A a Court Martial, for the wilful murder of the engineer on board the Hesper, and who was to nave been hanged yesterday, has been demanded by the civil authorities. It struck us that there cannot pos- sibly be, in time of peace, two courts holding the power of life and death, the proceedings, of the Court Martial were informal. we hope no harm la done and that the murderer will meet his deserts. but we have our misgivings about that portion of the statute book which provides against a man be- ing" tried twice for the same offence.
.
We further understand that the Portuguese who killed a Chinese accidentally with the butt end of his fowling plece for remonstrat- ing about the slaughter of his ducks. has been committed for manslaughter and liberated on heavy balk It is said that our Court has no jurisdiction in the matter, by reason of the crime be-
ing committed by a foreigner on Chinese Territory. We suppose it must be so. but we hope the Portuguese residing here, will do their best to show thelz com- miseration for the sufferers, and their disapprobation of both the act an... the defence set up to avoid the consequences of it. This they can do by raising a small sum of money and presenting it to the deceased man's relatives, expläin- Ing matters to the elders of the village he belonged to, and avert ing any retaliation upon innocent people who may hereafter visit the scene of the outrage.

The watchman was informed that "the Sikh had been stabbed," and the reason why the accused had not disappeared as well was because he was not known by the Sikh.

They were sympathising with one of their number who, so he heard, had been stabbed and assaulted. He did not know the Sikh but "took him aside, and related what he knew of the affair. As a result he took the man to his house in Boat Quay where the accused way found, among a number of Chinese youths.
