Mr. Strellett appeared for the defence of Chan Chuen, a bird dealer of Cochrane Street, who, together with Chiu Kam, was charged with cruelty to birds. Both cases were adjourned to Mon- day morning, his Worship indicat-Chemistry Laboratory. ing that Inspector O'Brien, of the S.P.C.A., Bhould make enquiries from the ship's local agents as to

His Worship, who examined the cages yesterday, said he was of the opinion that there was de Anite cruelty, and if cages aboard the ship were just as snall, it would be even worse. "If the birds aro.carried in cages as small as the ones I saw yesterday, on thic trip to Marseilles, which is six weeks through the tropics, the sooner the trade is stamped out the better," remarked Mr. Wynne- Jones.

TEMPORARY TRANSPORT.

space

Mr. Strellett said his case was merely a question of temporary transport. He gave as an example the prison. It was laid down by law how much

each prisoner must be allowed and if the prisoner had anything less than the amount of cubic spaec weuld be con- allowed, the law travened.

When the prisoners were taken to the Criminal Sessions they were not exactly herded, but put in an enclosed van the cubic space of which was not in proportion the number of prisoners. It was a case of temporary transportation from the prison to the Sessions. Similarly with the birds, it was transportation of a temporary

character.

Mr. Strellett pointed out that the condition of the birds when transported depended on the eir

cumstances.

".

His Worship replied that he did not see that any circumstances satisfied that, adding "It is a matter of profit, and I think it is my duty to see that profit is not made out of cruelty."

Mr. Strellett submitted the S.P. CA, should give some standard by which the defendants could be guided in their furra etion in the 'transportation of birds.

CAN THEY CHIRP?.

His Worship remarked that Mr. Strellett's client seemed to take the view that it did not matter how many birds were packed into one rage "as long as they chirped it was all right."

Regarding the question of freight, Kis Worship said he thought the cubic content space would be cut down and smaller space would be given the birds on board than on shore in the shops. Then it would definitely be cruel- ty.

Serious fighting is reported to have taken place near Lingyuan where there is still a strong con- centration of regulars doing their best to hold up the advance of the Hattori Brigade.

In the English Department, a number of interesting books will be on view, such as a facsimile edition of the first folio of Shakes. peare's plays and other publicat- jons of literary, theatrical or journalistic interest.

It is possible that an effort will be made to recapture Jchel City, which has yet to be occupied in force by the Japanese.
