From the data furnished, the Association has reached the fol- lowing conclusions:

NOT SERIOUS MENACE There appears to be every justi- fication for the opinion that le- prosy is not such a serious menace to the Colony and its residents. is is generally thought to be the case doubtless brought about by trad!- tional fear of the disease. Al though the disease is definitely contagious, the danger of infèc- tion is apt to be exaggerated. Nevertheless, in view of the loath- some nature of the disease in ita advanced stages. when the danger of infection is naturally increased, free intermingling of lepers with the community at large without any control whatever is certainly undesirable.

We are of opinion that the Le- pers Ordinance No. 25 of 1935 passed by the Legislative Council on the 13th June, 1935, covers all the necessary legislation, except that relating to notification registration as recommended here- under.

Defendant has given the Court a long and clear account of the manner in which he came by these articles. He is a buyer of gold and silver: the latter he buys largely In the form of broken ornaments and other articles containing 70 per-cent or 20,, per-cent of allver which he refines at a small profit. This business is to the value of about $120 a month.

On June 9 a man whom defen- dant does not actually know, but has seen twice before a fortnight Previously and believes to be a funk collector, brings two articles which are apparently parts of a silver vase. Defndant made no enquiries whatsoever.

It is for these omissions or de- liberate abstentions from asking questions that defendant is called upon to answer.

His explanation is that it is the custom of his trade to accept any articles brought to him, provided they are broken or crushed, with- out question. This custom has been confirmed by the evidence of an other man in the same trade. I do believe such a custom or prac- tice to exist; but nevertheless I do not consider the existence of such a custom to be a reasonable excuse for deferidant's whole 'conduct. A positive duty of making enquiries which is laid on the shoulders of everybody by the specific words of

a statute cannot be set aside by

the custom or practice of a trade or profession.

I am therefore bound to say that defendant has not discharged the onus of explanation, and he must be convicted of the charges against him. And in view of the evidence of the charges of a trade custom which has been adduced by the defence, I hope that sufficient pub- licity will be given to this decision to serve as a warning to other shops of the same kind of bustriess. the first charge and a conviction The defendant was fined $25 on
