The Chinese are as much capable of putting it down, as they are of keeping a custom house, and although it may not be the duty of the British Government to suppress it, unless application be made to them to do so from the Chinese authorities, still in the neighbourhood of our own Colony, on our own highway of commerce, we submit that duty and national interests demand that something

FM.S. DOCTOR'S APPEAL

Man Who Was Struck Off The Register

JUDGMENT RESERVED

SINGAPORE, August 2 Judgment was reserved in the Supreme Court before the Chief Justice (Sir Walter Huggard) and Assessor (Sir David Galloway) at the end of the appeal of Dr. C. I. Paglar from the decision of the Medical Council to strike his name off the register on the ground of professional misconduct.

Mr. V. D. Knowles, counsel for the appellant, contested the point made by Afr. J. G. Campbell, for the Medical Commeil, that the Coun eil should be regarded as a domes tic tribunal. It was not like a Club the powers of which could be | absolute.

The jury censured the driver for taking out a car which did not conform to regulations, in that the right head lamp bulb was apparent- ly missing, and, from the evidence given, he had only a foot-brake. They also recommended that the lighting of that stretch of Cause way Bay Road be improved.

The jury was consposed of Messrs. C. W. Langley E. Allen and D. T. Lopes, while Mr. Schofield acted as Coroner.

It will be remembered that the enquiry which opened on Tuesday, was into the circurstances surro- sending the death of a Chinese woman who was killed in Cause- way Bay Road on July 19, by private mator can No. 1141 driven by a Chinese named Yuen Chi Sum,

Police Texts,

In beginning the police evidence Sub-Inspector Saunders said that on July 15 he examined the car No. 1141 It was a Hupmobile touring car about four years old, infair imechanical condition. The glass of the right front head lamp was missing and there was a small. dent on the top of the same lamp. He tested the foot brakes and they stopped the car in 10 from 15 m.p.h. Witness also said that there were many places on the road where it was very difficult to see" persons dressed in dark clothing

Sergeant Clarke said that on July 15 he went with the driver of the car, to the mortuary and they identified the body of the woman. He also stated that the deceased had given her address as No. 21, Laichikok Road but he went to the plaacs two days later and found that she was unknown there.

The Driver's Evidence,

In considering this you will remember bis statement that he saw the car first when it was about 10 feet away, in spite of the fact that the head lights were on.
