of 1925,
which Order-In-Council states, "where it is proved that there is reasonable ground to apprehend acts or conduct of a British subject likely to produce or excite a breach of the pubile peace, the Court may require him to give security for his future good behaviour."
In pleading guilty, Prevot's Coun- sel, Mr. C. E. Sherwin, said defen-1 dant wished to state that while his methods of gathering information: might well cause the Chinese to be- come suspicious, he had not intend- cd to use autch information to the detriment of China.

For suburban carrlages, which arc generally permanently coupled up in trains, this system can be modified; the ends of each train being reinforced, and the remaining cars left as they are with a new form of coupling which should exclude the possi- bility of the under-frames over- riding one another.
If simple modifications, on these principles were introduced, the present loss of life through telescoping would be greatly re- duced.
