. VT wo Years' for Man Ling. The next up was a cheap importa-, tiotf which answers to ; the name of Man Sing or Man Ling, and it was charged with criminally assaulting a little girL . Mr. Wilf ord had appeared lor the piece of colored clay, but was unable to convince the Jury that his client was not the phylloxera on the vine of virtue which he would have had them believe. Half an hour decided the fate of the pig- tailed pig and he was pronounced guilty. Mr. P. W. Jackson said a few pray-, ers for the undesirable Citizen." He (the citizen) had been a *esldent of Newtown for the last 16 years and had carried on a steady business (which was true, such a business as tt was). ; i ; Sir Robert asked for an opinion from Mr. V. R. Meredith as to the alleged virtues of the filthy oil of the East which will never mix with the pure water of the West The Crown Law officer 'said that ' THE POLICE REPORT WAS NOT GOOD. The mongrel's conduct with regard to little girls had always been a Source, of complaint from the Newtown residents.

Sir Robert adjusted the horsehair 'and looked at tho article he was about to auction. Addressing 'it he said: "I cannot deal leniently with you as you have not got a good character; but, ' as you did not proceed further than (here the evidence- of the assault was recited) I shall not deal so severely with you as I would otherwise have done," and for two years ithe residents of Rlntoul-street, Newtown, will have to send their little daughters to some other Chlnkie's shop until the other citizen agaip takes his place In society when the Christian will; once more resume commercial relations with him.
