BULLIED BY POLICE

$600 FORGERY CHARGE

The foki of the Lee Fung Hang shop, charged with the unlawful possession of six forged $100 Chartered Bank notes made another appearance before Mr. A. W. G. H. Grantham at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon.

Detective Sergeant Kennedy was searchingly examined by Mr. Leo d'Almada, jun., for the defence, sa to the manner in which the accused was interrogated by the Police.

These and many other paens of praise have been lavished and will be lavished in the future on Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's "White Shadows In the South Seas," which opened yesterday at the Queen's Theatre.

Do you know anything about the medical examination of the accus- ed? Yes, by Dr. Cannon. I was also present when Dr. Koch examined him.

The case was again adjourned.

"It must be read in conjunction with Lord Thomson's other definite announcement that the whole of the paragraph in the 1922 Declaration in regard to foreign intervention stood unmodified. The special re- lationship between' Great Britain and Egypt is therefore not to be (called in question, and it is estab

lished beyond all doubt that His Majesty's Government will con- tinue to regard as an unfriendly act any attempt at Interference in the affairs of Egypt by another Powers."

"False and Mischievous

The "Times" welcomed Earl Grey' declaration of Lord Lloyd's "false and mischievous analogy be- tween Egypt and India" and adda, "It is a simple fact that the Egyptian polley of Mr. MacDonald's administration is in direct line of descent from that of his predeces- BOYS. There are certain obvious points in the draft treaty to which exception can rightly be taken, and others on which judgment must be |suspended, but in a general'way the new treaty represents an attempt to establsh Anglo-Egyptian rela- tions upon terms foreshadowed long ago by Lord Cromer, and after the war strongly recommend- ed by the Milner Mission.”—British Wireless Service.
