In ordering the forfeiture of bail of 810 in the case of a man who had failed to appear in answer a charge of possession of three po pin lottery tickets, Mr. Whyte-Smith, at the Kowloon Magistracy yester day, stated that if the defendant had been present in Court he would not have been convicted on the evidence of the prosecution.

DEATH OF MRS. H. O. T. BUREWALL,

Hong Kong and Canton residents will learn with deep regret of the passing of Mrs. Burkwall, wife of the Rey, H. O. T. Burkwall, who for over a quarter of a centüme worked with her husband in Canton as local agent for the British and Foreign Bible Society.

News of the sad event has come whilst she and the Rev. Mr. Burk- wall were on furlough in Americh, both being due to return to their field of work some time next month. They left for their home country last August, and Mrs. Burkwall's death must come as a profound shock to those in the Far East who loved and respected her.

His Worship pointed out that unless there was evidence that the defendant had had the tickets for the purpose of sale it was no offence under the Ordinance and asked Both the deceased lady and her whether such evidence could be pro-husband were well-known in Hong duced.
