of the work of the underwriters, although the special features which still distinguish the institution are for the most part concerned with shipping. Lloyd's remains pri- marily an association of under- writers individually responsible for the risks they insure that is to say, a market which transacta business, not directly in the usual way, but through the medium of brokers.

Lloyd's performs business which

is indispensable to the transaction of overseas trade, and it is plain that the position it occupies in public estimation could only have been reached by the maintenance of sound business principles back- ed by centuries of progressive de- velepment. The members of Lloyd's are proud of their status, which is unique, and determined to main tain it. Upon occasion the whole strength of the institution has been used to support a member or group of members, although the corporate funds and the private property of members other than those actually covering a risk are not liable to make claims good.

Lloyd's is essentially and characteristically an English institution, and it now occupies a home in the heart of the City of London worthy of is great history.

THE MAN ON THE 'BUS.

The confusion of thought regard- ing Lloyd's referred to above, is amusingly illustrated by the follow-offcer ing conversation heard on the to of a London omnibus and reported in a Home paper.

"What is this 'ere Lloyd's the King is opening! Every coun- try's got a Lloyds. Germany what they call a Nardoitcher, and Italy and Holland and all of 'em. I expect it was once a family like the Rothschilds who've got branches in Germany and France and England. From what I remember reading a man named Lloyd started a coffee shop, and all the people that owned ships used to go there and talk. But what I can't under- stand is why all the other coun- tries don't mind having their ships looked after by one family Not that it's family now, I expect, but a firm.

There used to be a Lloyd's New Sunday paper that was. and I never "saw much about ships in it neither; not more. than the other papers, anyhow. I think it's changed its name now, so I suppose it's like the Daily Mail, which began as weekly paper called Answers." Funny, ain't it, how things change?"

PRISONER'S EXCUSE FOR ENTERING CUBICLE.

TWO MONTHS FOR AN OLD

OFFENDER. "

The adjourned case in which a Chinese was charged with stealing a parcel of cloth from the inmates of No. 63, Praya East, was resumed before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy yesterday morn ing. The defendant was represent- ed by Mr. W. D. Owen, while the prosecution was conducted by Inspector Macdonald.

The principal tenant of the heuse

appeared in Court as the complainant. She said that the de- fundant came to the house and told her that he wished to rent a cubicle. He wanted to know the exact dimensions of the room and asked for a piece of string to measure it. The witness then went into the rear part of the house to get the When she return to get the string; cubicle nursing a baby, which he was sitting on a bed outside the

The anah

The Company's money-changer told the Court that he thought the first note which prisoner tendered was genuine. When the second note was presented his suspicions were aroused by the faded colour.. and certain characters on the note. Applying a chemical test he dis- covered that the note was false.

Asked by the Magistrate if he had anything to any for himself, the prisoner replied that since the inoney changer had mistaken. the first note as genuine, then it was not surprising that he should also have believed it to be genuine. The employes in charge of the Spectacle department of the Com- pany then told the Court that the defendant looked at two pairs of spectacles and decided to purchase them. He produced a 8100 note of the Central Bank of China, and placed it on the counter. The wit- Tess agreed to have it changed for him and gave it to the office boy. to take to the Company's money- changer. The office boy returned and naked who tendered the note and prisoner was arrested.

Sgt. Flattery said that he search- ed the defendant and found in his pockets 895.83 cents in Hong Kong currency, and the gold wrist-watch which, it was later revealed, bought at the Wing Orded,, was with the other false 8100 bill.
