It appears that under the Queensland aboriginal laws the State becomes responsible for and a sort of parental guardian to each aboriginal. The controlling authority may even become informally Minister for Boxing. Thi3 is precisely whrt has happened in the case of Mr J. G, Appel Home Secretary for Queensland, and "Jerry" Jerome, the well-known coloured boxer. "We look after 'Jerry' Jerome," said Mr Appel to a Daily Telegraph representative recently, "and look after his banking account also. We saved more than £I2OO for him during the first year we assumed control. We have allowed him a good sum for training purposes this year, and, I may add, that I made the contract in which he is to fight Dubourg, the Frenchman." The situation in which the big, burly, energetic Minister is placed is probably unique in the annals of constitutional government.
