came witness managed to get out of the house in the confusion that ensued, and he went and hid behind a house while his wife made a great outery. An Indina constable deposed that on being called to the house, he found the complainant standing at the door and she told him there was a thief inside. He then en- tered the house, and, finding the prisoner there, arrested him. Subsequently his sittention was directed to four men, who were in a boat about twenty yards from the beach. He fired two shots at them, thinking their object was to attack the village, but whether he bit any one of them or not he did not know.ads
Some evidence was then brought to light in regard to the motives of pri- soner and his companious for these singular operations. The complainant's husband stated that his father was then in prison at Kowloon. The reason for his imprisonment he did not know, but probably at was to enable a squeeze to be made. His father formerly lived in Tamsui, but had recently been living at Kowloon City. About a week ago the prisoner and others met witness in the street at Shan-ki-wan, and the prisoner Normanby leaves for Singa- told him that if he wanted his father re pore, dro

He admitted that he was a soldier in Kowloon City, and that the father of complainant's husband was imprisoned there. The reason he gave for this imprisonment, and for the apparently lawless expedition in which he (prisoner) had been engaged, was that the complairent bad run away from the Yuen family at Kowloon City with the man with whom she was at present living. She was the wife of a member of the Yuen family, and when she ran away the mandarin had imprisoned the father of the man with whom she was at present living, and bad sent prisoner and his companions to fetch her back, but they had strict orders-not to use any violence or to force her to The father of come against her will, complainant's husband, who was in pri son, and whose wife was a relation of prisoner's, originally asked him to go to Hongkong and fetch the woman, and the commander of the troops at Kow loon then gave him permission to do so.
