His Worship intimated at the opening of the case that he under stood that there were certain al- logations against the police con- stable.

The Chambor wrote to the on May 12, 1926, Government, stating that the desirability had been considered of duplicating the Tire Ball and Typhoon Signals in a position from which they would be more readily visible from the Western area of the Harbour.

Shipping Interests were strongly in favour, the urgency of the matter having become the more pressing with the completion- then approaching of the Penin- sun Hotel. The "estern end of Stonecutters Island commended itself as a suitable second site,

The constable who made the arrest denied that he had pre- viously enquired from the shop whether the defendant was one of their fokis or not. He had seen
