Magistrate's Remarks
A remark that he thought it was a great pity that the mother of a young Chinese had not paid a $10 fine on the youth for an offence re-
Jating to the Forestry Ordinance but
had allowed him to go to prison, was made by Mr S. F. Balfour in the Court of the District Office South this 20. morning when Ng Shiu-hong, unemployed, was charged with the theft
of a bicycle from the Tsun Wan district.
Welch was reduced to $1,000; second Douglas Co. Meeting and when in Taun War district
Defendant was allowed in $500.
Pen Pals Not Desired
Soldiers Not Keen
Soldiers do not want to cor- respond with "pen pals" among the public. The War Office has announced that, owing to lack of demand among the troops, the scheme organised by the British Legion in the autumn of last year for placing men in touch with such correspondents had been brought to an end.
Col S. W. Ashwanden, chairmanı of the British Legion, said: “To avold any suspicion that communications to the troops from unknown "pen pals" might be subversive, the War Omee asked the Legion to organise this
scheme.

Widow's Statement Defendant's mother, who was in Court, stated that she was a widow and a vegetable gardener. She also looked after pigs.
Mr Balfour told the woman to look after her son in future and to see that he did not
get into trouble again. He did not want to send the Defendant to prison again.
The Woman said that with regard to the Defendant's previous convie- tion it was at her request that he had gone to gather tree wood. De- ferdont had been fined $10 and seeing that it was a simple case of taking th free wood she failed to pay the fine. She had let him go to prison for a month. Her family was very poor.
Mr Bulfour: It scems a great mistake to me that he has been in prison. I think it is a great pity that you did not pay his fine the last time.
