The text of the Regency Bill, the second reading of which will be removed by the Prime Minister in the House of Commons on Tuesday next, is issued. The reasons for introduction of the Bill were indicated in a Royal message to both Houses of Parliament this week.

The Bill sets up machinery for the performance of royal function by a Regent in the name and on behalf of the sovereign in certain circumstances, and for the delegation of royal functions to Counsellors of State in certain other circumstances.

The Bill proposes that in the event of a Regency McLay, Mr. C. L. Hoover, Lady Mac- being necessary, the Regent will be the person next in line Gregor, Mrs Hoover, Hon. Mr. E. Taylor, Mrs. A. L.

RAILWAY LINE NOW CLEARED

YESTERDAY'S MISHAP NOT SERIOUS

The railway line between. Kow- loon and Cunton, which was blocked by the derailment of an engine and one of the coaches at Cheung Mult Tau yesterday, has now been cleared. The derailment was not of a serious character, but a ticket collector was slightly injured.

The train which met with the mishap was a slow train, which normaly stops ot Cheung Muk Tau. The cause of the accident has not yet been definitely determined, but it is thought that it may have'. been due to split points, which de- flected the train on to a siding.
