Knowing that they were against a formidable team, Chineso Athletic preferred to play a defen- sive game and were successful in keeping the V.R.C. forwards till the interval. Whatever passes the V.R.C. forwards received were dieverly frustrated by the Chinese backs. The Chinese forwards did little attacking and were content to send in shots from long range on several occasions.

The teams were represented by: V.R.C.-Knight, Soares, Reme dios, Stewart, Gittins, Laing and Roza-Perreira.

A French police court laid down the principle recently that persons who counterfeited Bank of England notes could not be prosecuted for counterfeiting in France, for the not British reason that they are notes of a commercial company.

great Me. Moro-Giafferi, the French criminal lawyer, put for ward this argument in defending three Russians named Coher, Brower, and Statingrow, who were arrested a few months ago while

trying to sell counterfeit £50 and £100 Bank of England notes to tourists on the boulevards for half their face value.

The police court finally admitted that the defendants could not be prosecuted either for counterfeiting or distributing counterfeit English notes, but decided to send the three men before the Lasizes on the broad charge of circulating forged commercial paper.
