In his speech, Mr. Houghton said that he could not discuss the treaty as directly as he would like, because it was about to be laid for consideration before the Senate.to hospital. All wore, however, agreed that a peaceful settlement of the pro- blems arising between nations was wholly desirable, and the fact that the Canadian people and those of the United States had been able to live aide by side in mutual safety and contentment divided by an unguarded frontier, could not be without significance to the rest of the world. Those two peoples had shown that they were safer and happier without naval and military forces for their protec tion,
Britain's Adherence,
Sir Austen Chamberlain, refer- ring to the fact that the multila- teral treaty was about to be con- sidered by the United States Senate, said that in these circum- stances all he would say was that if it should approve itself to the authorities of the United States, no government would more readily and more eagerly give ila ratifica- tion to the instrument, which had proceeded from American initia tive, than the government which he had the honour to represent.

Mr. d'Almada replied that they could not then be intelligible.

His Worship said that he would take the three points raised by Counsel for the defence in their order. Regarding the question of the irregularity of pro- cedure, his Worship pointed out that before the mother gave her evidence there had been consider- able discussion on the point and it was then known that the Court was going outalde the lines of pro- cedure.
On that point his Worship held ngainst the defence by the one phrase, strictly speaking," and also in view of the extraordinary circumstances.

On the second point his Wor- ship also decided against Mr.
'Almada. As there formula of oath laid down in the Ordinance his Worship asked if he could not change the form of oath and caution the girl to tell the truth, which caution he was satis- fied she appreciated.
Mr. Fitzroy mentioned that the question of the formula of the Chinese oath had been raised once before and on that occasion Mr. Justice Wood reserved his decl nion, but the prisoner was ac quitted, by the jury on the evi- dence.
Mr. Fitzroy added that he had tried to get a formula laid down in the Ordinance.
Referring to the usual form of oath, his Worship said that he might just as well have sworn the witness in ancient Greek.
