BOY SCOUT BILL.

FIRST READING PASSED BY COUNCIL.

PROTECTING ACTIVITIES.

The Attorney-General, Sir Joseph Kemp, moved at the Legislative Council meeting yesterday the first reading of an Ordinance to further and protect the activities of the Boy Scouts Association and to in- corporate the Hong Kong branch thereof.'

In vlow of the speeches made at the annual meeting of the Hong Kong branch of the Boy Scouts As- sociation which had been reported in the Press that morning it seem ed unnecessary, said Sir Joseph, to say anything about the aims and activities of the movement. Every- one knew something of its aims and activities which had always, met with complete approval and the ob- |ject of the present Bill was to pro-

tect the movement in Hong Kong | agalust undesirable imitations.

The success of the Boy Scouts movement was a temptation to the formation of small local organisa- tions, borrowing the titles, badges and other features of the original movement but not subject to the control of the central authority. The imitation might be flattery but flattery was generally bad and might sometimes be very embarrass- ing. Some of the local bodies, which might be formed might not be bad tliemselves but they would lock the strict discipline and, the careful organisation of the original Boy Scouts movement and might tend to confusion and dissipation of energy. Other local independent organisations might be distinctly bad in their tendencies, because they might be used for political and militaristic ригровев. The Boy Scout movement, as they all know, was not political, neither was it militaristic.

The Bill proposed therefore to protect the well-known title of Boy

Accused pulled his car up in such n position that the pedestrians had to dodge round the back of the car to cross the road.

Mr. Horace Lv, who defended, said that it was persecution to issue a summons on the evidence offered by the pollar, to describe whose ac- tion he was unable to find words. He took it from his Worship's own ruling that there was no offence merely to say to a pedestrian "Car, Sir."

The Magistrate said that it was provided the car was on the stand.

Mr. Lo argued that in London he had seen cabs slow down on the prospect of securing a fare, and it was no offence there.

Inspector Alexander, in reply to the Magisrtate, said that he was acquainted with conditions in Lon- don and knew of a case in which a cabman was fined 40 shillings for stopping his cab to pick up some thing.

The Magistrate fined the accused $6.

Mr. Lo remarked after the deci. sion that he absolutely thought that the summons was nothing short of
