"GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM"
Shantung Police Sergeant Pi Shih-hau, charged on two counts pf (1) manslaughter of a Chinese woman whom he was alleged to have kicked in the stomach; and (2) causing her grievous bodily harm, made a fourth appearance at the Central Magistracy this morning, when Mr. E. W. Hamilton fixed hearing of the case for 2.15 p.m., on Monday.
Mr. L. R. Andrewes, Assistant Crown Soilcitor, was for the prose- cution whilst the accused was re- presented by Mr. F. C. E. Rendall.
Grievous Harm
Replying to the Magistrate, Mr. Andrewes said that he proposed to withdraw the manslaughter charge and proceed only with the one of grievous bodily harm. He explain- ed that he had a communication from the doctor to the effect that as the result of the post mortem examination of the woman it was found that death was due to pneu- monia, and there was no reason to say that she had died of the effects (of injury, if any.
Mr. Hamilton then suggested tak- ing the case summarily, and both Mr. Andrewes and Mr. Rendall agreed.

ordered to fire.

Mr. Andrewes: On the authority of practice. It is usual for us to have it to produce as evidence.
The Depositions
His Worship said that as the de- positions were to be produced as evidence he did not see why Mr. Andes should not have it, at the sam time if this allowance WDB [golź to be made to Mr. Andrewes ithbuld be extended to. Mr. Ren- dall lao.
MT. Andrewes: Mr. Rendall was [present at the taking of the deposi-

The Magistrate decided to allow both parties to take copies of the depositions.
Accused was remanded on the same bail of 3250 cash and two auraties of $60 each.
Wheat prices have dropped as the result of the glut of imports from the Argentins.. This, it is hoped, will lead to a further reduction in the price of bread.
