ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES
At the Central Magistracy yes- terday afternoon, Wong Ho-chuen, described as the manager of the Empress Hotel, was charged with having obtained the return of a pro- missory note for $4,000, said to have been signed by him, by false pre- tences.
ments:
It was alleged by the prosecution, conducted by Mr. D. L. Strellett, that the note was signed by the de- fendant in favour of a man named 1. Yik-yee. and the money was to have been repaid in December, 1928, but after collecting the first instalment, Li had considerable dif- hculty in securing further pay- Later Li went to Canton and entrusted the note to a personal friend with authority to receive any instalments, which the accused might pay. On May 16, it was el leged, LP's friend received $400 from accused, and on the pretext that he required the note for en dorsement, accused secured posses- aion of it. He took it out of the room and later returned without it Finally he disappeared, the Police were informed, and eventually ac cused was arrested on a warrant.
The case was adjourned until Fri- day afternoon.
Mr. M. K. Lo is for the defence.
