A young Chinese messenger em- ployed at the Colonial Secretary's Office was to-day charged before Mr. R. E. Lindsell with the theft of a pair of trousers belonging to a fellow messenger.
In admitting the theft, accused said that the complainant had owed him some money for a long time and had persistently refus-. ed to repay the loan.
Yesterday he remonstrated with the complainant, remarking that if he had the money to make a new pair of trousers, he should have money to pay his debt also. The complainant replied: "Well,
