When the defendant was first pro- duced in Court some time ngo, it was Carliste, Kowloon mentioned by the police that all-arms had been withdrawn from Chiuere revenso officere and thy bad been warded not to possess privata re- volvere. The revolver- in question was discovered in the revenue officers' quarters at Yanmat, and the defendant claimed it as his.

Owing to the withdrawal of the Despatch from bath. Divisions of the Losgue, one of the fixtures and times of starting have been altered. Secretatie of Clubs shon'd note the altanation.
The oficit times for starting for December are a quarter of an hour earlier than previously. This should also be noted,

Lo with the result a draw.
The Chinese meet the Titania. The Jatter have a well balanced team, and should give the Ath'etlen goo run. The latter's defeat at the hands of Deatch last Saturday came as a'b'g su prise to many. Their opponents to-marrow are not likely to repeat the performance. A win for the Chinese is expected..
The Club-R. G. A. game should be interesting. The former have struck a bad patch throuch injuries and illness to their players, but with the return of Stewart and Gerrard to the team to-morrow they should give the Gunners a good game and I should not be surprised if they take the points.
Kowloon are at lizme to the Flag ship on their new grand at Heng- hom. They were without a restoh last wok owing to the late arrival of the Durbau by part. The Howki played a good game against-the police last weak, and should have woo, but they f und Sxan on the top of his form. They should, I think, prove too good for the Feninsula bors
Mr..Button "said that there were many reasons which justified the de- fendant in having the revolver. It was given to him by a Revenue Oficer and defendant had a permit from Mr. Smith to rarry it.
Mr. Smith eaid that as the pol.ce had executed a warrant he thought nothing could be done but to charge the defendant. He could have dealt with the man depsitmentally, but, as the police bad already proceeded to act. he could not keep the matter dark. Mr. Smith admitted that b had given the defendant permision to carry arms in the course of his duty.
The Magistrate: Have you power to authorise him without a licence by the Police?
Mr. Smith: I don't know about that. Revenue Officere have carried arms and they have power to carry them in the course of their dutina. What I did was to tighten-up matters and that was done by making careful check of all revolvers inued to them and I gave orders that they should not encry them on private business.
The Magistrate: Like the Police? Mr. Smith: Somewhat like the Police, but I don't think it was quite so attingent. Last year when I took ver the Department they had a miscellaneous collection of fire-arms. The Magistrate: As far as you are concerned, this man is entitled to carry a revolver in the course of his dudes 3
Mr. Smith: Yes, a Government rë- volver, but not this one.
Mr. Smith ad led that he believed it was quite true this revolver had heen given to the defeadsat by the late Mr. Wilden, but he should be reported it.
Replying to the Magistrate, Inspuc tor Picot said it was not the polica view that defendant carried thie re volvas for an unlawful purpase.
Mr. Bratton then pleaded guilty to a techoical offence. The revolver had been given to his clie + by Me Wi'den for daty on the launches, and it had been kept. in the Yaumpatí Revenue Offers Quarters and also Should the Police be able to field in the Hongkong Revenue Officers' their usual forward line to morrow; | Quarters.".
