It was alleged that L Fat on October 12, after having witness- ed a snatching case, in which an apprentice was robbed of his wrist watch, approached the apprentice claiming that he had an idea who committed the offence and offered to recéover the property for him, without first notifying the pro- perty authority.

It was also alleged that defen- dant had on October 14' redeemed the watch without the knowledge of the complainant and since then the article together with the pawn ticket had been lost.

deemed the watch without the owner's knowledge although he was identifed by a pawn broker. Mr. C. 6. Russ represented the defendant and submitted that His client had only attempted to re- cover the watch, He adopted the improper procedure, not to gain the watch for himself, but through zeal to gain promotion as a de- tective.

INDIANS PRAYED

"The poor pre better housed and better fed. The children are carefully looked after."

In his extensive travels, the Bishop has made himself well- known in many parts of the Empire, to peoples of many races and colours. One of his stories concerns the Indlan troops brought over for Edward VIL's Coronation.

"Some 400 of them were en-

in camped

Fulham Palace grounds." he told me. "and I had arranged a reception of the 70 Coronation. Then came the King's officers for the day before the

illness.

"I held the reception and then } broke the news to them. Ther grief was very moving. Later, they sent a deputation to the High Priest, as they called me. to say that they would pray for the King; and I shall never froget the sight of those men kneeling for two hours on their praying mats."

He told me that, despite his record as a traveller, he had never

been in an airplane.

For young people, the Bishop

the 79 years of his long life he has always had a partiality. In

has seen generation succeed gener-

ation, and the changes that have

accurred in the habits' and tastes of youth have not dimmed his faith in them. Modern youth, he thinks, is sound at heart.
