VERANDAH JUMP.

Alleged Thief's Long

Stay in Hospital. Yesterday the China Mail report- cil a case in which a Chinese was taken to the Government Civil Hos- pital with a fractured thigh received when he jumped from the first floor verandah of a house in Main Street, Aplichau, in order to escape arrest for theft of a suit of cloth- ing.

This morning the case was men- tioned before Mr. R. E. Lindsell, when Sub-Inspector Baker, in charge at Aberdeen, produced a medical eorlificate showing that the accused would probably have to remain in hospital for two months.

The Magistrate accordingly gave a week's formal remand, and direct-

An Irishman, Mon- signor Robinson, was appointed apostolic delegate to enquire into the difficulties last April, but no solution was reached.

It is significant that the Arch- bishop's order follows a visit to Rome, whither the Archbishop of Malta flew in a British scaplane in April. The Parliamentary elec- tions are being held at the end of May.-Reuter.

-Malta, Yesterday. An amazing situation has been created by the attitude of the Roman Catholic Church towards the general election campaign hero. The Archpriest, and parish priest have announced that by order of the Archbishop to all the. churches in Malta, whoever votes for the Prime Minister, Lord Strickland, or any of his supporters (members of Constitutional party) commits a mortal sin.

The Bishop of Gaza recently ed the Inspector to produce a medi-ssimilarly issued an edict forbidd

cal certificate to him once a month ing Constitutionalists to approach until such time as the, accused was Easter communion or receive ab

NO LICENCE. Driver Has His Bail Forfeited.

When a case was called before Mr. R. E. Lindsell, this morning, in which a Chinese was charged with driving a private motor car holonging to Mr. Wu Chi-hau, without a driver's license, the de- fendant failed to appear.

Divisional Inspector Bloor, in charge of West Point, stated that the defendant was given ball of $50 yesterday, and added that he understood that the motor car was being taken to Canten.

A European Sergeant, who ar restod the defendant, said that he had made inquiries at the Traffic Office and found that the. defen- dant formerly had driver's licence, but it was cancelled three months ago.

His Worship ordered the ball of $50 to be estreated,

Lord Alness, (the Lord Justice Clerk) declared that the essence of the indictment was that it was Dorward's duty to keep the exists open, particu- larly as there were only two, and he had failed, as the iron trellis gate outside one exit was padlocked at the time of the disaster.
