Replying to Mr. Macnamara, the boy said he had been cycling, in Kowloon for two or three months He knew one of the rules of the road was to keep to the left hand alde.
His Lordship suggested that the cross-examination should be loft to him, as he did not think the boy's evidence supported the casó much. He quite appreciated Mr. Macnamara's position.
DRIVER CALLED, Although he was a witness for the defence, Mr. Levkovich asked for the lorry driver to be called. This man, an Indian stated he was not now employed by Messrs. Watson's, but was a watchman." IIe still held his licence, however. In reply to his Lordship, witness denied that he ran over the boy. He did not see him run over, but he saw him lying in the side of the road. He stopped the lorry about. twenty yards away, and walking to the boy asked him if he had been { run over by his lorry.

Mr. Levkovich: What the reason for asking that? Witness:-I don't know anything about this matter, and probably he might sue me and say that I knock- ed him down.
COLLIDED WITH LORRY.
A Chinese who was in the lorry at the time said the bicycle, ran into the wheel of the lorry, and the driver knew nothing about it. His attention was called to it so he stopped and went back. The boy, who was sitting on the wheel of his bicycle, said there was nothing' much the matter with him, and told them to go away.
His Lordship remarked that he saw no possibility of the case suc-' ceeding.
Mr. Levkovich went into the wit- ness box himself, and read a long statement of his investigations into the happening.

BRITAIN'S CHINA POLICY.

London, Sept. 7.
The Daily Telegraph, com- menting editorially on the in cidents at Wanhsien and Can- ton, says: "Our sole immedi- ate concern is to protect our own people and their legitim- ate interests in the midst of this sanguinary confusion. It cannot be said that hitherto
that responsibility has been embraced as it should have been.

"The Government is woll' aware that the opinion in Bri- tain is unanimous that the ac- tion now taken at Canton has been too long delayed, and that persistence therein is now vital.

In his view the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, and he would therefore give judgment for the defendants with costs.

RESTAURANT KEEPER FINED,
Saying that he had looked up the corresponding section in the Home Act, and had found that no breach was caused within the meaning. of the section, Mr M. W. Lat argued before Mr. R. E. Lindsoll,' at the Central Police Court this morning, that the mere fact that le door of a shop was left open did not mean that business was being carried on within. He was defending a client summoned, for carrying on business in a res Contral, after the legal hour of 2 a.m

Mr. Lo submitted that, fnar- the case must first be considered, riving at a finding, the facts of irrespective of the discovery that the door was left open after that hour; and, whilst dealing with the
said facts, he further stated that it was conceivable that for the purposes of maintaining cool current of air, or that the fokis might want to cool themselves the door would be left open.
Finally to bring the point closer home, Mr. Lo, asked if it could be considered that the Police Court was closed if his Worship were not presiding and the door was left opon. In this case, Mr. Lo said that no business at the time complained of was being done in the restaurant.
His Worship condidered that an offence had been committed, and- he fined the defendant $10.

GOLF IN THE AIR.
"PUTT" FROM HEIGHT OF
100 FEET:
The latest sporting thrill is a game of golf played up in the air by pilots in small, swiftlight planes.
Among the amused onlookers at Rochampton on a recent Saturday, says the Daily Chronicle, was the Air Minister, Sir Samuel Hoare.
A little white circle on one of the pólo grounds, with a flag pro- jecting from it, represented the hole, and instead of ordinary golf balls the players took up with them small bags filled with flour. Then, while rushing through the air, they flow one after another above the polo ground, each trying to drop his threo flour bags as close as possible to the flag 'pro- 'jecting from the target.
As each bag hit the ground: it burst like a bomb, sending up a white cloud of flour, and this enabled the spectators to see how near each "ball" went to the "hole,"
