Accused denied the charge, and a Chinese detective testified to hav- ing gone to the Tram Station on receipt of a telephone message, and caught the two men who were shouting "Laai, laal" in Hoklo.

I told him that the coolles at the Peak Upper Tram Station were making a great deal of noise- could they do anything to stop them? My wife and I live in the Peak Hotel very nearly opposite the coolies' quarters, in the main build- ing, facing the station.
"I have complained twice before about the noise", continued Mr. Austin," to the Mount Gough Police Station. I understand they did their very best to stop some of this very great noise, but actually these cooltes make so much noise day and night that it is very troublesome to the people living in that quarter. It is worse at night, specially, about Whenever a tram eleven o'clock.

Mr. Austin explained that owing to the cheap fares, the Peak trams ran up to about 3 a.m. "It is very disturbing," he said, "and wakens many people up, and when one wakes up at that hour of night, it is not easy to get to sleep again. They also make a great deal of noise during the day time."
Like Devils Possessed! Continuing, Mr. Austin said: "It so happens my wife has been sick in bed since Saturday, and she tells me that the noise is just as bad as during the night. These coolies devils-possessed, especially

I have been liv ing in the Peak Hotel for some years at odd times, and this noise has been going on for a long time, I think they have never been so bad as lately."
The Magistrate (to accused)—| "Convicted, and fined $5 each. This sort of noise has got to stop, and the next offenders who are brought here and convicted will be fined much heavier. There is no reason
for all this noise."

It appears that Mrs. Morris was the actual purchaser of the ticket, the obtaining of which was one of her first acts when she re- cently returned from New York. The parties concerned have not yet formulated definite plans but In the meantime numerous cabled bida are being received from abroad, negotiating for the pur- chase of the half ticket, and it is believed that the three lucky hold- ers will dispose of half to the highest bidder.
Mr. Cooke who is a well-known local sportsman and jockey was informed of his good fortune while exercising ponies on the raca course this morning, but be yond expressing his extreme satis- faction he is taking the news quietly and without undue evl dence of excitement.

LOSS OF CUTLERY.
SHAMSHUIPO`CAMP SWEEPER'S GOOD LUCK.
After hearing further evidence in the Kowloon Police Court this morning, the case against Chan Fuk and Lau Mau who were charged with the theft and receiving of a quantity of cutlery, the property of the N.A.A.F.I. at Shamshulpo Camp recently, was dismissed.
The Lieut.-Quartermaster, who is Ţin charge of the sweeping arrange- ments, said that the first accused was employed as a sweeper at Sun Wal Camp from January 9 to March 14. As a sweeper his duties would be to collect the rubbish and take it to the incinerator, When sorting the rubbish, he might have discovered the cutlery. Ás thera were no special instructions regard- ing this, there was no-objection to his taking them away in view of the fact that they were rusty.
