the defendant at 4.10 p.m. and took out the summons twenty minutes later.
Mr. Leo d'Almada, for the de- fence, submitted that the factory was a large concern and that they removed daily, at fixed hours, zev- eral barrels of ginger to their godown in Dundas-strect whence it was shipped to Britain, as pre- served ginger. Furthermore, the pathway where the obstruction occurred was the factory's cwn ground. He himself measured it and found it to be 50 yards long and 10 feet wide. Part of the pavement was rough, and uncover- ed, and on two occasions he (Mr. d'Almada) saw not a single per- son walking there.
Mr. d'Almada added that in ithat case, where they had to leave their cases out on the pave- ment awaiting transport, they would always be summoned for obstruction.
In dismissing the summons, his Worship told the constable that he was wise in bringing the case up, but he should have given a more adequate notice.

[The foregoing was anticipated by a British Naval Wireless message published in the "China Mail" yester- day as follows:-As from to-morrow (September 9), the godown of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire will be partly demolished. The British Consul-Gen- eral has lodged a protest with the local Chinese authorities but it is un- likely to prove effective.]
