Watch
An office coolie in the employ- ment of Messrs Well & Co.. stock-brokers, Exchange Building, was charged at the Central Magis- tracy to-day with the theft of a watch valued at $300, the property of Mrs. Well!.
It was stated that the clerk, Mr. S. A Ismail, happened to return to the office on Friday evening
and saw the shadow of a man through the glass partition of Mr. Weill's private office.
HIB suspicions aroused, he unlocked the door and saw, the defendant standing by the safe. He asked him what he was doing there, and, on getting no satisfactory reply he gave him in charge.
On the following morning. Mrs. Well found that her watch was missing. The defendant in the presence of Det.-Sergt. Murphy obliged by showing where the ar- ticle was hidden.
Mr. Well stated that the coolie must have known the combination of the safe, as it had often been opened in his presence. The con- tents of the safe were intact, with the exception of the watch.
The coolie was sentenced to three months' hard labour.

Used by Robbers in a Raid
On Saturday afternoon six men, one being armed with an iron bar, entered the ground floor of 35 Austin Road, and attacked a Chi- nese named Chan Chau' U, whom they injured seriously about the head and legs.
The assailante got away, but their victim was removed to the Kowloon Hospital, where he is reported to be in a serious con- dition.

According to the complainant, the defendant aaying "I am a de- tective," demanded to search him, and produced a piece of chain as anthority of his rank!
This story was contradicted, and there was brought to light the tale of a fight in regard to which none of the parties aeemed to have anything definite to say.
