FIGHTING RENEWED. : Nanking Claims Victory,

Sorgeant. S. C. Saunders atated that at 7.45. p.m/ on May 27, ho was on duty on his motor cycle on the Island Road between Aberdeen and Pokfulum. He noticed the light of a motor car behind him as he started to ascend the Dairy Farm Hill The speed limit there was ten miles per hour. He in creased the speed of his machine to 18 miles per hour and felt certain there was no necessity, in view of the speed limit on that road, for anybody to overtake him. At three or four turnings in the road the defendant tried to overtake him without success, but at the fifth turning, the defendant rushed his car passed him. The sergeant stated that he was on the left side of the road all the time, but the manner in which the ear passed him appeared exceptionally dangerous. Asked if he had any statement to make, Mr. Glanville said:--"In the first place I can emphatically deny that the sergeant was on the left hand side of the road all the time after seeing my lights. The first corner at the foot of the hill, a right band corner, was taken by the ser geant at the right hand side, there- by deliberately obstructing my road. In the second place, I had or three opportunities of passing him if. I had wished to do so, but on account of the corners I anticipated that it would be dangerous. When I did pass
