Near the village, defendant again attacked the youth and struck him on the head with a bamboo pole,
causing him to be removed to the Kowloon Hospital with a head wound. The woman had attempted to stop him and was herself struck. Inspector Rogers stated that it was a case in which accused had such a bad temper that he could not control it.
Defendant was placed on a $10 bond to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for one year.
Father O'Meare, of the Aberdeen Regional School, has reported the loss of two motor pumps valued at $116 from a hut on the hillside near the school.
Accused-denied he had been in
conspiracy with the other men.
Inspector H. E. Rogers said the case was not unusual. That was the in groups of two's and three's. way that gangs worked nowadays, Whenever the snatching had been accomplished, one man would stay behind, and in the guise of help- ing the victim, would do his best
to deter them.
The accused, who had a police record, was sentenced to six month's hard labour.
