WATER IN DENTIST'S SURGERY.

NOT DOMESTIC SUPPLY.

The question whether the water used by a dentist of the chair in his surgery is supplied for domestic purposes came before the Chantery Division in a test case between the Manchester Corporation and Mr. John Buttle, of Stockport Road, Levenshulme, Manchester.

Mr. Justice Eve decided in for our of the Corporation.

The Corporation asked for a de claration that the water used by Mr. Buttle for, his dentist's chair was for a purpose other than do mestic purposes, and that the Cor poration were under no obligation to supply such water except spon terms and conditions agreed be- tween the parties.

Mt. Farwell, K.C., for the Cor- poration, contended that the pur- post for which the water was used was for a trade or business, and therefore that Mr. Rattle must make a special arrangement with the Corporation to be supplied.

Gargling or Rinsing?

Mr. Justice Eve: I suppose the the mouths of the patients! purpose is merely for rinsing out

Mr. Farwell: Yes. It is quite true that water used for the pur- pose of, say, gargling out one's throat in the morning or evening is clearly a domestic purpose; but if the water is used to remove the blood from a patient's mouth, which If there were no Chinese Eastern

then the bonds of warm friendship and goodwill by which Your Ma jesty's Covernment and that of His Britannic Majesty are so happily united, and that it must also be conducive to the establishment of still closer relations and a still deeper mutual understanding and sympathy between the Governinent and the subjects of Your Majesty And the Governments and the pe ples of British Malaya upon the maintenance of which the well be- ing of both countries in so large a measure depends.

The King replied as follows;~~ Your Excellency have listen ed with the deepest gratification to the very kind werds of welcome which you have jus: expressed or behalf of Your Gracious Sovereign to the Queen and myself on this our first official visit to the Straits Bettlements, though we are by no means strangers to this Colony. I have been looking forward to this visit with great pleasure and would have made it twelve months ago did not a most sorrowful event in our Royal family intervene. My plea- sant anticipations, new happily fulfilled, were greatly enhanced by the thought that I would be further cementing, as Your Excellency had done last year, the relation of close friendship whose foundations were made secure nearly 50 years ago by my august Father, the first Six mese Sovereign to visit your great city or any foreign country. That the people of Bingapore have not allowed the memory of that visit, as we on our part will not allow that of Lady Clifford and yourself to Siam last year, to pass into oblivion, I take this opportunity to -express my country's gratitude

How the relations, both amiable and commercial, between" our two countries have since then expand- ed pobody can bear witness better than Your Excellency; but I think I am safe in saying that no one at that or. even in your own time ever dreamed that the capital of British Malaya and Bangkok would be linked toge ther, it is now, by a direct line

King George's Recovery.

Before concluding, permit me to touch upon a matter in which we all feel an intesse interest. It is the health of your Gradious His Majesty King Sovereign, George V We in Siam, and when I say we I include myself and the whole nation have followed with anxious heart the course of His Majest's recent very serious illness, and our joy when we learned that the worst stages have been overcome by modern medical science, and that, His Majesty's recovery is now practically complete, was not sur passed by that of his own subjects. The Queen and I have had the in- estimable high privilege of King George's personal acquaintance, and we can positively say that the universal fove and respect towards His Majesty throughout the Bri- tish Empire, and far beyond, is in the highest degree well deserved. On behalf of the Queen and my- self, I desire to offer sincerest thanks for the very cordial welcome and hospitality Your Excellency, your Government and the people of this great British possession are extending to bs, and I invite, ali
