FROM H. KING WOOD

Week"

Sydney, Feb. 12.

It's been a mad, serambling, joyful and colourful week when normal- day values just don't seem to matter very much, when typists go out "to see the Queen (which generally means an absence of about four hours), when businessmen have given away the thought of doing any serious business until this beautiful young Queen Elizabeth moves on and stirs a million hearts somewhere else.

News, of course, doesn't rate much space today unless it features the Queen, but that doesn't matter much, either, because no one wants to read anything that doesn't concern the Queen.

Magistrate Suggests AG Considers Case

In remanding two sailors charged with assault, Mr Lawrence Leong said this morning at Central, "I am remanding defendants for 24 hours in naval custody because in a recent case, a French sailor, who ad- mitted a charge of assault upon a local resident, but challenged the jurisdiction of this Court to try him, was saved by the Attorney-General who entered a nolle prosequi which compelled this Court to dis charge him, although, on authorities of law, this Court had jurisdiction to try him, otherwise the Attorney- General need not have to enter, and this Court would not have jurisdiction to accept such nolle prosequi.
