The articles com- prised two dozen singlets, two dozen pairs of woollen stockings, eight dozen handkerchiefs, one and a half dozen razors, and, three dozen tubes of tooth paste to the total value of $229.50.
The facts of the case as out- lined by the prosecution were that on November 10 frs: defen- dant went to the complainant frm and purchased the
goods mentioned in the charge. He did not take them at the time but gald he would return later. At 2 p.m the same afternoon he came back, and took delivery. He ask- ed that someone be sent with him to an address in Connaught Road West to receive payment. A fokl was accordingly sent with him and they reached house No. 40 where second defendant was waiting. First defendant told the fokl to leave the goods on the pavement and asked second de- fendant to take the toki to Ko Shing Street where payment would be made.

RECOMMENDED FOR BANISHMENT
Five of the new Albatross pir liners have been ordered by 'Im-"| perial Airways from the de Havil- land Company. This type, designed especially with a view to experi- ments over the Atlantic, is known to be capable of cruising at more than 200 miles an hour. As it has not yet undergone its official trials for the airworthiness certificate, precise ngures, of performance are not available. The first of the new liners, with seats for 20 passengers, should be delivered during the spring. says the "Times."
An Albatross may come into the hands of, Imperial Airways before that time. Two of these machines were ordered by the Air Ministry

It has been presumed lately that, when these are delivered, the Air Ministry will hand one over to Imperial Airways" for use in the experiments relating to the North Atlantic service, and that the other will be entrusted to British Airways for similar use over the South Atlantic. The order of Imperial Airways would appear. therefore." to be unconnected with Atlantic affairs, since an order on that score is unlikely to precede the experiments.
