As Indian policeman made a very gruesome discovery yesterday morning while passing along Pokfoolum Road: Suddenly looking caught sight of a body of a man hanging from a branch, ostensibly stone dead. Seeing this he immediately proceeded to No. 7 Police
Station and secured an ambulance and had the
body removed to the mortuary. Upon examina- tion of the corpse it was discovered that the deceased, a coolie, about forty years of age had been dead at least five days. The spot where he was founi hanging in a very secluded one, surrounded; by thick trees and also a good deal of high undergrowth, which would account for the body hanging in such a position. for that length of time without dis. covery.

Before the game started, some of the members of both Teams started to have a bit of practice, so when the match commenced they were fagged out, and those that were fresh did practically all the scoring.

Soon after play recommenced in the second half both teams were now long in adding two goals each in their credit and it looked as if the game would end in a draw; but on accooni of the man not marking each other as they ought to have done, the "A" team scored the odd and winning goal (viz., the filth), and thus, the game ended in a win for the "A" Team by s goals to 4.The Teams were:-Mid- dlesex "A"-Roberts, Miles, Remnant,
