Witness asked to be allow- ed to examine the ticket, but the defendant refused and intimated that he was travelling by the train. He then walked away.

At 1 p.m., witness received in- formation from a porter that the defendant had passed through the barrier before the officials had gone on duty to collect the tickets before the 1.18 p.m. train left. Mr. F. Winyard was informed, and the defendant was stopped. He pro- duced a ticket issued in his bro- ther's name and later a monthly ticket for March in his own name was found on the defendunt.

The defendant admitted that he had intended to travel
his brother's ticket which had been handed to him by the owner, but said that having met a friend he had asked the latter to take some- thing to Taipo for him.
His Worship intimated that the defendant had apparently shown his own expired ticket on the first occasion, but when stopped he had returned with his brother's ticket. In reply to his Worship, Mr. I. B. Trevor, of the Railway, who ap-. peared in Court, intimated that it was possible that people of the de- fendant's class were constantly de- frauding the authorities in toat way. He thought the defendant himself had been using his bro- ther's ticket since March, as the
accused had not renewed his own monthly ticket since that month.
Detective Sergeant Humphreys stated that defendant must have used the ticket when he came from Taipo in the morning.
The defendant replied that he had purchased a ticket to Kowloon yesterday morning.

PALLISER?
This imposing name, as you will at once divine, belongs to a very imposing personage, no less a personage indeed than
the
Duke His Graco
of Omnium, a character who oc- curs in several of Anthony Trollope's novels, from "Can You Forgive Her" to "The Duke's Children".
:
Yet in the very extravag ance of its syllables lurks the somewhat suggestion of a caustic and irreverent attitude on the part of the inventor of the name towards his puppet. "I think that. Plantagenat Palliser is a perfect gentle-- man," wrote Trollope, "If he is not, then I am unable to describe a gentleman."
Well, if pride, honesty, high ideals and an unswerving sense of honour, makes a gentleman; if coldness, shy- ness, sensitiveness make a gentleman; if an utter Incle of charm and the sympathetic: qualities make a gentleman, then Plantagenet Palliser's claim to the title, is, un- challengeable.
