"I wore the trousers by mistake," said an impudent Chinese youth when charged before Magistrate Lindsell on Saturday with larceny on the Kennedy Town bathing beach. Inspector Appleton said that the com. plainant, a houseboy employed at No, 12, Macdonnell Road occupied shed No. 13. The accused who was in the adjoin- ing shed, made a bole in the matting | separating the sheds and removed the trousers. When caught, be was wearing the complainant's trousers under his own. The Magistrate (to accused): How many pairs of trousers did you have on when you went to the beach?-One. The police said that when brought to the pairs of trousers, the undermost of station accused was wearing three

which were shorts. That settled it. The Magistrate convicted. The police proved a previous offence, and the Magistrate passed sentence of three months' hard and four hours' stocks on the beach in lieu of the first day.

We hope the four hours are picked during the crowded time of day.

The tone of the comment on Mr. Lloyd George's speech is favourable, It is pointed out, however, that there are domestic and political pitfalls to a formal tripartite alliance which suggests that the treaties consequently ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING. would be opposed by the Senate as was the Versailles Treaty. It is opined that the problem is one of ways and means of reaching a desired "ander. standing" with Britain and Japan.
