the true meaning of the phrase. Who Is the custodian mentioned in Rule 41 There is no other mention of him any where

we know. We should have concluded from reading Rules 2 and 3 that the D.P.W. was himself the custodian. Rule 4 says that "the said portions of the Recreation ground" shall be apportioned as per schedule and plan. "The eald portions" are those referred to in Rule 1 and include the whole ground, less the Jockey Club property. The whole of the Recrea- tion ground coming under the Regulations is to be apportioned as per schedule and plan, and the rest (see last part of Rale We cannot suppose that the Rule means Public." That might raise questions not hitherto within the contemplation of the Government, or of the Public.. Rule 5 says that the apportionment of the said priately marked out by the D.P.W." Of course, it is easy to see what is intended, but it is not clearly expressed nor is it In good English. Rule 6 plunges us into fresh difficulties. It runs as follows: "The permission to use any portion of the said Recreation Ground, or the THERE was bailed recently in Singapore a expenditure of any money thereon, shall Portuguese compositor who had been nearly ali not confer on any club, &c." any exclusive his ille in the Stralis Times office.

There is not one of them clearly expressed or in good English, and there is not one of them that is not capable of two or three different interpretations- an endless source of difficulties and dis- putes. Perhaps the creation of disputes and differences is the end and object for which the Regulations have been so inartistically framed. The P.W.D. is already famous for its performances in that way on the said ground.

The withdrawal of the Foreign Legion and the Annamite Tirailleurs who now occupy a portion of the Lower Laos has already been decided upon.
