Gulam Kadir, the driver of a private car, was summoned be fore Mr. Schofield in the Cen- tral Police Court this morning, with having unlawfully disobey- ed the signal of a police officer in uniform in Pedder Strect, at the junction of Queen's Road Cen- tral, on May 17 at 2.45 p.m.

Corroborative evidence given by Mr. Goodall who said! that he thought that the Police officer was very definite with his signal against the defendant.

Title holders have been known to lament that their immediate effect is to increase the size of the gratul- ties they are expected to bestow when the owner is away from home. Lord Ponsonby, on the other hand, far from complaining, finds the ability to register himself plain "Ponsonby" a decided advantage in Navigation hotels. in fact, he told the Cam- Jardines, noon. bridge Union Society that it was only when visiting an hotel that he found any use for his title: "For then." he said, "I find it secures for. me quick servion,"

Lord Ponsonby, who was created a peer last year, sald that apart from this he held titles in scant respect, for "they did not prodace an aristocracy capable of governing and did not produce a good breed." He admitted, however, that there was not so much snobbery in the House of Lords as he had expected.
