Mr. Gardner said that when he secured his car licence on July 8th nothing was said to him concerning passing another vehicle. Nor did regulation 59, given on the back of his licence refer to it. He further added that it was the duty of} the polier to inform people and not to mislead them. The reason why he had passed the police officer, he continued, was because there was a lady driving a

Later, Mr. Gardner said that the police should not issue misleading copies of the regulations.

A DESIRABLE ADDITION. Mr. Nihill said there were merely a few remarks on the back of a licence, but they were not intended to cover all the regulations. He certainly, thought there was something in Mr. Gardner's point, and he considered it very desirable that the whole of Section 52 of the regulations should be printed on the licence.

The Yuen Hop were pro- mised that they should have the goods cheaper, and at a special rate, provided they did not sell forged goods. "About & year ago, witness received word from the head office in Japan to the effect that forged goods had been found in Formosa, and he was asked to be careful in Hong. kong. Witness paid a visit to various firms, selling Ajinomoto powder and at the Yuen Hop he found some forged tins. He warned them; and when he was told they could not distinguish which were forged and which were genuine, he pointed out the difference to them. On subsequent visits he found forged tins in the shop.
