His Worship asked if he parked his car outside the white line. Witness, replied that he did not notice but as the stand had been full when he examined it first he presumed he must have parked it outside.
In reply to Sub-Inspector Me Walter witness said that he spoke to the Indian in English. The man walked four or five paces towards the stand and then pointed.

will, however, be almost entirely absorbed in the cost of construction and equipment of the new hospital, which provides accommodation for about 120 beds. The estimated an- nual working expenses will be about $90,000, which means that, even if the Directors are to be saddled with the task of collecting year by year one half of the annual working expenses, an endowment fund of at least $600,000 is needed.
earnestly hope that this sum will be raised, for there can be no ques- tlon that this new institution is badly needed at the eastern end of Victoria City. I, therefore, heartily support the appeal now being made by the Directors of the Tung Wah Hospital, and I trust that there will be a generous response not only in the Chinese over ther Hongkong but from China and from charitable activities of the Tung Wah Hospital extend far beyond the limits of the Colony,
