MUI TSAI CASE CONVICTION
Woman Fined For Assault
DEFENCE APPEAL. FOR LENIENCY
An eloquent appeal made by Mr. M. A. da Silva tur the mitigation of a fine was only partially suc- cessful yesterday against the de- mands of justice. Leung Bin, 42, a married
woman waLS
charged belore Mr. W. Schofield at the Central court with (a) keeping an' muregistered mui' tal numely one Yu Mo Lo aged 13. and (b) with 1-treating the said mui tsal.
The defendant was found no guilty on the first charge and thus the second charge also did not come within the Servants Ordi- nance, but Mr. Schofield found the defendant guilty of common assault which, however, he could not say was serious. Defendant was therefore given the option at a fine and was sentenced to a Ene a $100 or six weeks..
Mr. Silva pleaded for mitigation in view of the fact that the hus- band was only earning the sum of $10 or $15 a month and that to im- pose a fine that would mean the earnings of a whole year was, in bis opinion, excessive.

LONDON'S NEW CENTRE OF CULTURE
TRANSFORMATION OF BLOOMSBURY
London, May 16. Bloomsbury is becoming the Oxford of London.
Forty years ago it was a resid- ential district of privately owned houses. Then followed the period described in Baedeker in 1911: "It is now very largely a region of boarding houses and hotels."
The early after-war period was an invasion of "intellectuals," and now it is rapidly becoming an area of dignited buildings of learning
and culture.
