The following story seems (to quote Bernard Shaw) "too true to be good" Tub neighbouring villages were due to play a foot ball match, and rivalry was intense. The keeper of the local "Pub." ad- jacent to the football ground offer- ed a pint of beer to every man in the team for each goal scored.
At half-time he sent the bar boy out, to see how they were get ting on. Back he came with the following report from
the local team. "Getting on fine, We lead by 23 goals to 22,"!

Mr. Justice Clauson referred to the Italian occupation of Addis Ababa, and said that last Decem- ber the British Government re- cognised the Italian Government as in fact the Government of the ares then under Italian control.
"The effect of the Foreign Office certificate," remarked the Judge, "is that I am bound to treat tha acts of the Government which was Ao recognised as acts which cannot be impugned on the ground, that they were not the rightful but a usurping Government."
EMPEROR'S DECREE On June 20, he added, a decree was made placing the Bank of Ethiopia fh liquidation and ap-
of that decree, according to the pointing a liquidator. The effect
law prevailing at that time in the area of Ethiopia controlled by the Italian Government was to dissolve the Bank, except so far as it might be necessary to keep it on foot for the purposes of liquidation,
The decree bad the effect of putting an end to the authority of any person other than the liquida tor.. or those acting under his authority, to represent, act for or bind the bank.
There had been produced " In court a decree made at Eath by the Emperor of Ethiopia, and it was suggested that the decree had altered the legal position regard- ing meetings of directors of the Bank of Ethiopia, Mal
"I cannot imagine any ground on which it could be seriously argued that I could pay any attention to that decree," said the Judge.
