SALE OF A CHILD
Singapore Banishee Sent
To
Prison
The story of how a Chinese woman, with a bad police record attempted to soll a child left in her charge by a seafaring father, was related to Mr. Wynne-Jones at Kowloon Magistracy yesterday by Inspector Dorling, when he charged Chan Ying with selling the child and Wong Kain with receiving her,
It appeared that Tam Kat, the father of the child, had been left a widower in 1925 and had put a girl in the care of the first defendant who was an aunt by marriage. Everything had gone right until May 30. The child bad had an illness about that time and defend ant had taken her to a old herb woman to be treated. During the course of treatment the old woman said she knew of a person who wanted ty buy a child, and first defendant offered to sell the one in her care.
They met several times to discuss the matter and eventually on May 29, the child was taken to the second defendant's house to be looked over, and she spent the night there. The next day they all went to the Tin Hau Temple where the transaction was made good. The exact sum handed over was, in the Inspector's belief, 809. Of that 847 was handed to the first defendant, 5 the old herb woman and the remainder to a woman named Li Sen who had acted on behalf of the secondi defendant, and who could not now be found.
Both defendants made statements which the Magistrate accepted as pleas of guilty. The first defendant said: "Yes, I gave this girl to the second defendant because I was hard-up and she gave me few tens of dollars."
The second said: Yes, I bought the child as I am a widow and wanted her as a daughter."
At this stage a further charge, of re- turning from banishment, was pre ferred against the first defendant. Her
rocord showed that she had been banished for life from Singapore" in 1925 for prostitution, and 1927 was

banished from Hongkong for ten years. Defendant admitted this but said that as she land paid a fine of 875 when banished she thought she could return here.
Mr. Wynne-Jones convicted her on both counts and sentenced her to six months' imprisonment on each.
As regards the second defendant Mr. Wynne-Jones said he thought she was bona-fide and had no criminal idea in her mind when she, purchased the child, but (to defendant): You have got to understand and I must make it clear to everybody that you are not allowed to buy children in this way: That does not mean to say you cannot adopt a child in the proper way but there is a certain procedure in the matter which you must follow.

THE AUSTRALIAN TARIFF

Tokyo, Japanese traders are sur- prised at the report that the Australian Government which sud- denly effected a reduction in the preferential, tariff for British arti- cles on October 6th, row attempts to impose anti-exchange dumping! duties on Japanese goods. This discrimination will be a serious blow to them. It is feared that the present Australian "action" will cause Japan to boycott Australian wool.

Now that Australia has brought undue pressure to bear on Japan, of its best customers, the Foreign Office authorities are con- vinced, Japanese cannot but take some retaliatory action. They are forming a policy gradually to reduce the import of Australian wool and seek new fields of supply in South America or Bouth Africa. They are resolved to extend the utmost assistance to Japanese wool tradera who have already been investigating the market in South America and Africa.
