with the machine which was dis- mantled. The second defendant and the fifth defendant stated that those who produced the missing parts to the manager wore the third and fourth defendants, who were quite willing to admit that, so they did not see how they could be implicated.

After consulting Mr. Brooks his Worship thought that the evidence against the second and fifth de- fendants could only show that they know of the scheme, but that did not prove that they took part in dismantling the machine. Accord- Lingly there men were discharged.

The chuo was resumed yesterday before Mr. B. E. Lindsell, of the six men employed by the M. Y. Sun Co, who were charged with maliciously damaging a biscalt making machine. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. E. S. Brooks and Mr. C. A. S. Rugs to presented the sixth defendant,

A few mintues after the proceed ings' had commenced. Mr. D. Strellett came into the court and informed his Worship that he had received instructions from the first defendant. He asked his Worship to grant an adjournment, which his Worship would not do. explaining that the defendants had had three days to instruct their lawyers and that two other lawyers were present and had received their instructions.

My main theme is that of thanks. Our thanks are due to those Mr. Strellett replied that he did members, who in spite of every- not think he could do anything thing, have sent what they had to like justice to his client's case on the show-to the donors to the the short notice which he had re- Prize Fund.to Licut-Colonel Lecived, and intimated that if his G.

They told the manager that they had dismantled the machine on the, instructions of the sixth defondant, and they did not at any time sug- gest his dismissal.

His Worship adjourned the case until this afternoon, bail being as before,

Therefore I urge al present members of the Society not only to renew their own efforts but also to lose no opportunity in enrolling all new-comers to the Colony. We must have new members year by year to take the place of those leav- ing the Colony. I would also ask your support to the New Terr. tories' Show which will be held at the end of the year.

Spite.

When work was resumed it was found that many parts of the biscuit-making machine were mis.. sing and the next day the manager was visited by the first, third and fourth defendants at his house in Stanton Street. There the three men told him that if he dismissed the sixth defendant, they would put the machine into good running order again. The sixth defendant was at time in charge of that machine.

The manager asked them why they had dismantled the machine and they explained that they did so to get "their own back" on the sixth defendant. The man- agor agreed to their terms and ac- cordingly the first five defendants returned to the factory and pro- "dused all the missing parts except two, which had since been replaced- locally. The sixth defendant was dismissed as promised and the

This may mean earlier planting of seeds in some cases, but I think it is worthy of trial.

Before asking Lady Clementi to present the Prizes, I would like to thank Mr. Green for ranging the wonderful exhibit you see in this hall from the Botanical Garden. The illustration of the life history of n-China fir is very interesting and also to congratu- late Mr. R. A.
