The first trial of the charge re- sulted in a disagreement, Argument for adjournment of the trial was based by A, A. McGilliv- ray, K.C., defence counsel, on ap- plication of erown counsel for a new jury panel, following an affi- davit that the panel had been made public prematurely. This, argued Mr, McGillivray, had been publish ed widely in newspapers and left and absolutely wrong impression with the general public. It left with, the ordinary person an im- pression Bronfman had done some- thing wrong, said defence counsel. In consequence, Mr. McGillivray held, it would be impossible to get a fair trial and, failing the matter being referred to the court of ap. peal on the judges ruling calling and additional panel as well as using the old one, it was desired the case be set back to the next sitting of the Court of King's Bench, or that the venue of charge be changed. BOVRIL GOOD SOUPS BETTER LONDON Z00 WILL REMAIN CLOSED T0 PUBLIC SUNDAYS Animals Would Get No Rest If Practice Were Adopted London. 'There seems little likelihood that the renewed efforts now being made to secure the open- ing of the Zoological Gardens to the public on Sundays will prove suc- cesful. Probably the prominence which has been given to the ef- forts of Hon, George Lansbury, first Commissioner of Works, to '""democratise'" the Royal Parks, by the provision of such diversions as bathing in the Serpentine, are in part responsible for the agitation for the Sabbath opening of the Zoo, The Zoological Boclety holds its premises in Regents Park on a yearly tenancy from the Crown, and it is suggested that the Gov- ernment should make Sunday open- ing a condition of the renewal of the tendency. In support of the arguments against Sunday opening it is sub- mitted that the animals would get no rest if the gardens wen open to the public every day. There are 8,000 fellows of the Zoological So- , clety, who subscribe #156 yearly apiece, and who regard Sunday as their own visiting day. They are al- lowed 40 tickets each for friends, which means that in the course of a year 400,000 people can be ad- mitted on Sundays, To admit more, it is asserted, would meant the overcrowdng of the gardens, The "Zoo" which is one of the most - popular sights of London with both young and old, hag been established in Regents Park for Just ov§r a century.
