Overland China Mail.
A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
A message received from a merchant vessel during the week that piratical junks were operating in nearby waters. and had attacked a junk owned in Hong Kong, caused the Naval authorities to rush H.M.S. Somme to the scene. The junks and their crews were rounded up, and the alleged pirates later were charged in the Police Court. Detalls appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The inquiry has commenced into the grounding of the As. Kutsang off Ta Thong on the night of December 17. The ship's officers attribute the mishap to the presence of fishing junks and bright lights ashore. Particulars of the opening stages appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, *
An important decision respecting the rights both of pedestrians and drivers of vehicles on the public highway was handed down in the Higher Court during the week, in a case in which a motorist was sued for damages as the sequel to a collision with a rikisha. Full details appear in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
•
The closing stages of a protracted trial for alleged arson saw a dramatic plea for the defence, a report of which appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
*
Social events during the week reached their culmination In a brilliant St. George's Ball, which is graphically described In the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. The current issue also describes the opening of a re-constructed wing at the Tung Wah Hospital.
Sporting events included the second boxing tournament of the season, at which two Colony Championships were at Issue. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also gives the rest of the week's local sport in detail.
