hig decision.
The judgment, which is of some general interest, reads:—This is a charge brought by the Shanghai Municipal Polige against Mr. F. W. Howard, manager of Stanton's Midway Shows, which is at present appearing in the Hardoon Road. The summons runs as follows:—"That be being the licensee of Stanton's Midway Shows, Har-doom Road, did on August 28, 1923, permit gambling contrary, to condition 8 of his licence, and by-law 34."
Mr. Reader Harris, counsel for the defendant, raised two preliminary points: (1) that the Court has no jurisdiction; (2) that the by-law provides a penalty only for not obtaining a licence to hold a fair, ete, and docs not provide for a breach of a condition of a licence issued under the by-law.
