"NO TREATING" ORDER.

At Lambeth, on Tuesday, Alfred Joseph Baker, the licensee of the Colby Arms, Gipsy Hill, was summoned by P.-s. Curling, 115 P, for infringing the provisions of the No-Treating Order. There were also summonses against William Ferry, of 142 Gipsy-hill; Charles Marsh, of 37 Romany-road, and Henry Webster. of 126 Gipsy-hill.

It was alleged that Ferry stood drinks to Marsh and Webster. Mr. H. I. Sydney, appearing for the licensee, said he had held licences for 20 years without complaint. He had been six and a half years at his present house. The defendants, Ferry. Marsh and Webster, pleaded guilty and were fined 10d. each. The licensee was bound over to come up for judgment if called upon.

When William Ferry, of Upper Norwood, was charged at the South-Western Police-court with street betting (his second appearance in two weeks) he was fined £20. In his possession the police found £7 in gold, 32 £1 Treasury notes. 15 10s. notes, nearly £4 in silver, a large number of betting slips, and two bottles of whisky.

John Ferry, foreman, in the employ of Mr. Rose, cycle maker, of Uxbridge, said he had had 16 years' experience in the trade. The tube was quite sound; it was not rotten. It was necessary to move the valve when there was an injury near it.

Cross-examined: I consider that riding with a loose tyre caused defect at the valve.

A CYCLE CASE.

Thomas Rose, cycle maker, of New Windsor-street, Uxbridge, sued T.H. Billinghurst of High-street, Uxbridge, for £3 12s. 1d., balance of account for repair of a bicycle and hire. It was said that a counter-claim had been filed, but defendant did not appear.

John Ferry, an employee of the defendant, gave evidence and his Honour gave judgment for amount claimed.

ANTI-VACCINATION.—Certificates for exemption from vaccination were granted [ . . . ] Mr. John Ferry, Frays-place, Uxbridge; [ . . . ]

ALLEGED THEFT OF A BICYCLE.—Harry Gough, a lad, was charged on a warrant with having on the 27th Oct. stolen a bicycle, of the value of £6, the property of Mr. T.S. Ross, of New Windsor-street, Uxbridge.—John Ferry, manager to Mr. T.S. Ross, deposed that he let the defendant have the bicycle on hire on Saturday evening about eight o'clock, till the following Monday. He paid 3s. 6d. for the day's hire. Witness did not see it again till the following day at the Uxbridge Police Station. It was in a very dirty state. The prisoner and another lad gave the name of "Blower, of Colham Green," and the other brought his bicycle back at the proper time.—Det.-Sergt. West said that shortly after eleven the previous morning he saw the prisoner at 78, Salisbury-street, Lisson Grove. He asked him if his name was Gough. Defendant replied "Yes." Witness told him he had a warrant for his arrest for stealing a bicycle at Uxbridge, and read the warrant to him. He said, "I intended sending the bicycle back, only I hadn't the money. It is upstairs now." Witness went on the first floor where he saw the bicycle, which he brought with the prisoner to Uxbridge, where he was charge and made no reply.—Prisoner was cautioned in the usual way, and pleaded "guilty." He added, however, he had no intention of stealing, but meant to bring it back, only he had an accident. He had no money to send it back.—Det.-Sergt. West said the lad had been away from home ever since he was eleven years of age. He had been living recently at Moorcroft Farm. His people were in very poor circumstances, and he was sent to the Hedgerley Schools about six years ago for begging.—The bench sent Gough for trial at the Middlesex Sessions on November 22nd.

acting foreman for Mr T.S. Rose, cycle agent; again gave evidence in the case of the theft of a bicycle; defendant sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour

DENHAM SHOPS BURGLED.

A steel knife, bearing the initials M.N.K., is the only clue so far obtained concerning the enterprising burglar who appears to find the exercise of his craft at Broadway, Willowbank, Denham, interesting, if not exactly remunerative. Early last Monday morning he paid his second visit within twelve months to the row of small lock-up shops which run beside the Oxford-road. At his last visit he went in like Bill Sykes, through door or window, with the aid of a jemmy. Last Monday he became a malevolent Santa Claus, and entered by way of the roof. He must be a very slim Father Christmas, for he entered the ladies' hairdressing establishment known as Jill's, through an opening no more than 10 inches wide, made by removing two roof planks. He attempted to enter the next shop, a cycle emporium, kept by Mr. John Ferry, but evidently in this age of motors the slim burglar despised the humble push-bike and left that roof for the roof of the "Smallholder." This particular Slim Jim appears to have a fairly healthy appetite, for not only did he abstract several boxes of chocolate from the "Smallholder," but he tasted nearly every comestible in the shop, including the cucumbers. At Jill's Saloon, which is also a drapery store, he became the bull in the china shop, and left behind him a picture of indescribable disorder; but his peculations were very small. His clear-up in all included five dozen hair slides, one dozen cards of darning cotton, one dozen cards of buttons, one dozen bottles of perfume, one dozen thimbles, several lengths of silk, 72 farthings, 4s. in silver, and the entire stork of hairdressing tools. Obviously the midnight marauder is of the male sex for not a single pair of silk stockings was taken. Nine boxes of chocolates, three jars of fruit drops, and four slabs of toffee were found to be missing from the sweet shop.

Old Uxbridgian's Death.—Mr. John Ferry, of New Windsor-street, died in hospital on Wednesday within a few days of his 75th birthday. He was employed for many years by the late Mr. T.S. Rose, cycle dealer, being, in fact, one of his first employees. Later he carried on a small repair business of his own.
