tary order of Portugal the. Torre c Espada, and the inhabitants of Goa presented him with a sword of honour.

The summonses arose out of an incident at the Kowloon Station on October 10. The driver and one of the fremen of the Express train from Canton summoned R. O Tallon for assault while the officer issued criss summonses against the driver and two firemen for being In possession of opium. The driver was further summoned for obstruct Ing the officer in the execution of his duty..

After hearing further evidence his Worship intimated that he was not going to register any convic

tions on tho opium summonses, There was only one witness to say Lhat there was opium on the train. He thought that it would be very unsafe to convict on the evidence of onc witacas who stated that there was something that looked like opium. In all oplum cases the Court relied on the certificate from the Government Monopoly Analyst (Mr. H. A. Taylor), as to whether It was opium or not and he thought it would be unsafe and unwise to depart from that course.

His Worship said that they could not get away from the fact that there was no evidence that it was opam. There, was quite a fair in ference but the inference might be wrong.

Magistrate on Opium Smuggling.

In giving his decision is. Wor ship said that there was one thing he thought he was entitled to take notice of and that was that during the last few months there had been several convictions of employees of the Railway for possession of opium. Now, that was a very ex- asperating thing, not only for the heads of the Rallway byt parti- cularly for the Imports and Ex- ports Department. It must be very exasperating for them to know

that there were certain Chinese cm- ployees of the Railway who were assisting in the opium traffic ba tween Hongkong and Canton.
