RELATIVES WARNED..

The committal to the charge of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs of a young girl, who had formerly rejected an offer to be taken into the Salvation Army Home, follow ing her appearance before the Court on a charge of larceny, was minde by Mr. Whyte Smith at the Kowton yesterday loon Magistracy this morning when the case was again mentioned.

In reply to his Worship, Mr. John Barrow, of the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs, produced a writ- ten application, brought under Or- dinance No. 11 of 1901 (Reforma tory Schools), for the girl to be committed to the charge of the S.C.A. for the purpose of her being boarded out.

His Worship intimated that he and given the matter his careful consideration and he could see no objection to the order being made except that he would have to take

formal evidence from the relatives. The grandfather, who is serving a term of two months' imprison- ment on a charge of receiving aris- ing out of the same larceny, was put into the witness-box and asked various questions concerning the defendant's parents, etc. When the grandmother, who stubbornly re- fused to allow her daughter to be

sent to the Salvation Army, gave evidence corroborating her husband, she refused to sign the testimony, indicating her fear that it was a document for her consent for the committal of the girl to the Salvation Army Home.

His Worship said he wanted to ask the relativea if they had any representations to make, as it was his intention to order the girl to be put in the charge of the S.C.A who would probably board her out at a home. If the relatives had any representations to make or any objections against the order his Worship wished they would state them.

He over-ruled the grandmother's objection and made the order that the girl be put in the charge of the S.C.A. to be boarded out. He also warned the relatives that, according to the Ordinance, any person attempting to induce the girl to run away or found with the child in their company was liable to a fine of $200, or two months' hard labour,

The four climbers were Miss D. Horne and Miss K. Tarrant, of. High Barnet, Mr. E. Bryon, of Altrincham, and Mr. A. Smith, of Stockport.

They had intended to spend a quiet rambling holiday at Kan- dersteg, but circumstances led them to make this difficult climb, although neither of the girls had previously ascended an alpine peak

"We made the climb quite by accident," Mr. Byron told a re porter.

"We were invited by two Ger- man people to climb one of the smaller peaks, but they didn't tura up, and we decided to have a shot at the highest.

"It was a very interesting ex- perience, and might have been dangerous if we had not had such splendid guides.
