JUDGMENT

Ruling On Opium Enactment

||

RESCUES

Incessant Firing In

Paoshan Sector

(Continued from Pare 1.)

MORE REINFORCEMENTS News received from Shanghai yesterday was to the effect that the sixth batch of Japanese reinforce- ments had just arrived there and though these were mostly young- ters they were sent to the front lines almost immediately after ar-. rival. It was a pitecus sight to see the lads, barely out of their teens, sent to almost certain death by their leaders who are so obsessed with the idea of winning the war that they do not hesitate to do anything in order to gain this end.

Deaf to the protests from all over the world, the Japanese air force continued their dastardly work of bombing innocent non-combatants. They appear to specialise in rall- way stations where the refugees gather, waiting for the trains to

MISTRESS take them to their homes in the

Killed Dacoit Who Raided House

A pet cobra rescued its mistress by killing an Indian raider, who broke into her house in the village of Gunpur and attacked her, ac- cording to stories published in the Indian PreSH:"

The cobra was at the door when the raiding dacolt tried to enter the house. He slashed at it with a dagger and the snake slipped into a nearby rat hole.

"Having regard to the object of the enactment which is for the stringent control of opium in all Its various forms, with a view to the eventual suppression of its use except under medical advice and supervision; and also having its regard to the grammatical and or- dinary meaning of the words in question: I have come to the, con ciusion that the prohibition, is ab- solute, and that "mens rea" is not a necessary element in this offence, or indeed any of the offences created" by Section 9 of the Enactment.

"There are. of course.

many cases that could be cited on the point, but it is sufficient for the purposes of this judgment to point out that the ancient presumption of "mens rea" being a' necessary element in every criminal offence has been much weakened in mo- dern times, and that the rule now is to consider the objects of the statute and the ordinary gramma- tical meaning of the language em- ployed."

This

by

statement

was made the Hon. Mr. Justice Alt- ken in the course of his judg- ment which he delivered in the Ipoh Supreme Court in the appeal of Tan Yong Sin against "the decision of the Parit Buntar magistrate, who had convicted and fined him $50 for possession of chandu, other than Government chandu, at Parit Buntar on May 2 last, contrary to the provisions of Section 9 (b) of the Oplum and Chandu Enactment.

His Lordship conarmed the com- viction but reduced the fine from $50 to $10 and the sentence of one month's rigorous imprisonment in default of fine to one week.

The appeal was argued by Mr G. E. Gartside, of Taiping. while Mr. 1 W. Blelloch, Deputy Police Prosecutor. Perak. represented the respondent,

A few minutes later, when it suw mistress being bound and gagged by the dacolt, it slipped out of the hole again and bit his ankle. The dacolt dropped dead a few minutes later.

Another story of a snake that did a good turn comes from Kohat, in the Frontier Province.

The snake crawled out from below and frightened away a number of women who had gather- ed at a spring. A few minutes later the wall collapsed over the spring. The women would have been killed if they had remained there.

A short distance from the spring three women were killed and four seriously Injured by the falling debris.

JAPANESE MOTORISED UNITS ADVANCE

Peiping: Oct. 19. The Japanese flag is flaunting another Chinese province following the crossing of the Honas border from Hopel by an armoured cal after a spectacular dash ahead of the main Japanese forces operat ing on the Pelping-Hankow rallway zone. The armoured car was part of a flying column which according to a Japanese military communi- que, had previously occupied Tze- chow, seven miles north of the border.

Further north, Japanese troops are still constantly engaged with mobile bodies of Chinese on both sides of the railway.

The communique clatins that the advance guard of the main Japan- ese forces heavily defeated Chinese troops defending Natouchen, 13 miles south of Hantan on the rail-

Barefooted And Clad Only In Pyjamas

Meanwhile a Japanese motorised nit is advancing into a narrow strip of the Hopet province between. Honan and Shantung, and reports It has captured Kwangping, 19 miles north-west of the city of sleep-Tamingfu.

An extraordinary case of walking has occurred in Fareham, Hampshire,

Mr. Norman Carter, a motor- driver, walked in his sleep for over two hours barefooted and clad only in his pyjamas.

When the Japanese occupied Potóu, the Pelping-Tientsin ter- minus yesterday. they claim they seized more than 150 armoured railway cars, passenger coaches and goods trucks.—

"A policeman awakened him four | Beuter. miles from his home.

At three o'clock in the morning Mr. Carter was seen by a motorist striding along the Titchfield Road ncar here. The motorist went for. a policeman.
