AN EMBELLISHED STORY. MAGISTRATE'S CRITICISM OF POLICEMAN'S EVIDENCE.

Mr. F. A Hazoland, in dismissing a charge of unlawful possession of opium preferred against a Chinese who had come up as a passenger on the Fatshing from Singapore, said that the evidence of the Chinese sergeant was obviously embellished in an endeavour to prove that the defendant was guilty of the offence

with which he was charged.

The Sergeant alleged that he saw the defendant following a coolie who was carrying a trunk, a basket, and a bundle. He stopped the couie, and asked per

After all, the demands made upon Greece were not very exacting. She was not asked to depart from her attitude of benevolent neutrality; on the contrary the Allies merely sought an assurance.

To hasten the decision, the Entente Powers prohibited all shipments from their ports to Greece,
