THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH SEPTEMBER, 1879. 569
Léung A-hò of Shun-tak, shopman, aged
thirty years, was found guilty of having know-
ingly taken into his custody certain anchors pre-
viously by pirates feloniously taken from a junk
called the "Kam-ü-hing." The prisoner was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.
In sentencing this prisoner, the
Chief Justice said he wished all shopkeepers and others to take note of the peculiarly_stringent
nature of Ordinance No. 1 of 1868, under section 6, of which the prisoner had been convicted.
Under that Ordinance, all receivers of property piratically taken are liable to be declared felons and punished as such, unless they are able to produce the seller of the property or to shew that the property came to them without ground to suspect that it had been dishonestly come by.
Li Pak-wong of San-on, stone-cutter, aged forty-two years, was found guilty of the murder of Tsang A-sám at Hung-hom, British Kaulung, on the 4th day of July, 1879. The prisoner was sentenced to be hanged. This sentence was carried out, and Li Pak-wong was hung accard- ingly on the 2nd day of September, 1879.
