ADVICE FROM BENCH.

MAGISTRATE'S SUGGESTION IN'SOARES DISPUTE.

WRA

Yot a further unsuccessful effort to reconcile the parties and to bring them together again made by Mr. Whyte Smith, at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday afternoon, bofere the rosumption of the hearing of the summons brought by Mrs. B. Soares, claiming sépara tion, maintenance, custody of her child and costs, from her husband, Mr. J. R. Soares.

Mr. J. T. Prior is for Mrs. Soares while the defendant is represented by Mr. Les d'Almada

Mr. Prior intimated that the ash, who, had given her evidence in chief at the Inst hearing, had not appeared for cross-examination: It was perhaps because he did not impress upon her that she would be required.

His Worship, before the proceed ings were resumed, asked if any efforts had been made to settle the matter, but Mr. Prior replied that he had received no intimation whatever from the other elde. He id: Mr. d'Almada knew perfectly well that he only had to say he was making arrangements for the sister to stay elsewhere

His Worship: Will your client go back f

Mr. Prior: I will advise her. His Worship: That's the point. Mr. Prior: It is up to them to make the move..

Mr. d'Almada: It is up to both parties.

Magistrate's Advice.

His Worship remarked that he did not want to express his opinion too much at that stage of the case because he had not heard all the evidence and it would be prejudg ing the case if he did, but he could say definitely, from what he had heard, that it would be a good thing for the husband to make an offer that if the wife would go back he would make arrangements or the sister to stay elsewhere.

His Worship added he thought that if the husband did not make such an offer he would be in the wrong, bus he thought that if he made the offer and the wife rofused to accept it then she would be

wrong.

Mr. d'Almada, suggested the ex- periment of a conference with his client.

FRENCH FLOODS.

TOWNS AND VILLAGES INUNDATED."

Paris, Mar. 4. The worst floods for a hundred years are afflicting a number of towns and villages in the South of France.

The most serious are in the Montauban district where the in- habitants were roused from their beds by the roar of the watere from the River Tarn bursting its banks. They filed, scantily cloth- ed. as the stream invaded their homes. Many collapsed and several woro drowned.

A dozen Dragoona are engaged to rescue work. At present a boat is missing. It was seen to capsize and it is feared that some soldiers

were in it.

Deaths are reported from

the

villages of St. Antonin, Perpignan, Mazamet and Lethore.

Mr. d'Almada said that he was ex- tremely sorry but the husband'a opinion was that, even assuming hements pointing out the discrimina- made the arrangements for the sister to live elsewhere, he did not, La view of past instances, think there could be any habpiness be- "ween the two. He further pointed out that by his sister living clee- where it would be a great strain on his amal income.

Mr. d'Almada made an alterna tive suggestion and said that his client was prepared to undertake that the wife, if she returned, would not be molested by the kister and arrangements would be made for them to live separately even though in the same house.

Making a Great Mistake.

His Worship said that, judging from the evidence he had heard already, he thought that Mr. d'Almada's client was making a great mistake.

Mr. Almada replied that his Worship had only heard the evidence of the other side. He had not yet heard the defence. The proceedings, however, would have to go on.

His Worship said that he would Just like to say that the two par- ties, the husband and wife, were members of the Christian Church which taught that when a man left his father and mother the duty be tween husband and wife was a duty higher than between brother and sister. Many knew very well that the friendship between brother and nister Was one of the most precious things in life, but, still, unless arrangemente were made for the sister to live else- where the, complainant and the defendant could not be brought together.
