CASES IN THE COURTS

A Light Sentence

Hendrik Louw was charged at Port Nolloth recently with smuggling ammunition into the Cape Province from German South-West Africa. Lieutenant Vallancey, of the Defence Force, assisted by Chief Constable Miller, conducted the prosecution. The maximum penalties under the Act amounted to £350, or 12 months, but the accused, though found guilty, was only fined £25.

AN ARTIST'S MISFORTUNE

After having, it was stated, held a position as head of an art school in South Africa John McKay was charged at Westminster on Saturday with begging. Reference was made to a Chelsea sculptor, who corroborated McKay's story and said that his downfall was due to illness. The Magistrate dismissed the case and told McKay that if he liked to come to the Court in a few days assistance might be given by the missionary.

A SUGAR PLANTATION FIRE

At the Durban Circuit Court, after ten days' hearing, the case was recently concluded in which the Umhloti Valley Sugar Company sued the Railway Administration for £657 for damage caused by fire in a sugar-cane plantation, which they alleged was due to a spark from a railway engine. The
evidence largely turned on the question as to whether the spark-arrester, fitted to the engine, was efficient, the law in Natal being different from that of the remainder of the Union, the statute throwing on the railways the onus of proving that there was no negligence on their part. The jury found for the plaintiffs, and awarded £607. The case was regarded as a test action by the sugar industry. The question of these fires has been one of importance for some time.

AT THE APOLLO

Mr. Charles Hawtrey's production of General John Regan, by "George A. Birmingham," is still running and attracts large holiday audiences. Round the character of "Dr. Lucius O'Grady," played by Mr. Hawtrey with his accustomed ease and good humour, centre many incidents which readers of
George Birmingham's books will recognize with pleasure. Of those who help Mr. Hawtrey, Mr. W. G. Fay is especially worthy of praise for his acting of the part of "Thaddeus Golliger," the fighting Editor of the Connaught Eagle; and though rhetorically she has a part consisting only of the periodic
ejaculation of the two words "I moight," spectacularly Miss Cathleen Nesbitt adds considerably to the beauty of the production.

Mr. Merriman has consented to open the Caledon Wild Flower Show, which will be held on September 20.

A whaling steamer recently captured a right whale and her calf in False Bay. The whale was at least 60 ft. long, and was worth several hundred pounds.
