The work of the Trinity College of Music, London, as outlined to Rotarians by Dr. Mistowski, visiting examiner, is fully dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, which also contains an exclusive report of a lecture by the same gentleman on "Form and Design in Music."

As a result of an attack on a Chinese woman in Yaumati, a private în the Argyll and Sutherland High- landers, was sentenced to nine months with hard labour at the Assizes. The jury found the man "Not Guilty," of robbery as alleged, but guilty of common assault. The report appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Another Assize case of considerable public interest, which is included in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, resulted in the conviction of two Chinese on charges of uttering and possession of forged Hong Kong $10 Bill of Exchange stamps. They were caught in a Police trap, which called forth some criticism from counsel for the defence, who asserted that the evidence for the Crown, was a "pure in- vention." Sentence of four years' hard labour was passed on both prisoners.
