ciency thereby. Their principal ren- son, however, was to promote the health and welfare of bank clerks.

Defendant was represented by Mr. R. Williams, who said she ad- mitted the charge.

Counsel for the prosecution stated that before the 'marriage Dear lived with his parents at Strode-road, Fulham, and the de- fendant visited him there. Appar ently his parents strongly, objected to the proposed marriage though the girl's parents gave their con- sent. To get out of the difficulty the defendant made the false de- claration on April 23, and the young people were married on May 5. The girl was then under 19. and the young man 20.

Mr. Williams said there was no moral reason why the young couple should have got married no soon, but the young man's parents were continually pestering and annoying the girl, making disturbances at her home, and even waylaying her on her way to work. That being the state of things, the boy and girl decided that the best thing to do was to get married. She obtained her parents' consent, but the boy's parents were adamant, so the de- fendant.very wrongly made the false declaration. It was a foolish thing to do because, as she might have anticipated the objecting parents, instead of accepting the situation, sought to vent thele wrath by informing the police.

Defendant expressed regret for her conduct.

Mr. Marshall (the magistrate) said that, in view of her youth, he would not punish the girl, but she would be bound over in £10 to come up for judgment within twelve months.

The custom of observing Sunday as a holiday is a constantly growing one In Japan; and now that of tak ing Saturday afternoon, as a half holiday is beginning to make hoadway.
