MASQUERADED AS POLICEMAN
A 22-year-old unemployed In- dian, Gajjan Singh, was charged before Mr. R. A. D. ·Forrest at the Central Magistracy this morning with demanding money from a Chinese, Ip Chun-wai, in Bowen Road yesterday.
Detective-Sergeant T. Cashman said complainant picked some leaves off a tree, when defendant, saying he was a policeman, told him he would arrest him unless he paid two dollars.
Complainant had no money on him and defendant asked him to pawn his watch, which they did, for $2. In the pawnshop, complai-} nant noted the numbers of one of the dollar notes. When defendant was given the notes he changed them into small money, whereupon complainant summoned the police.
Sentence of four months hard labour was passed' on defendant, who had two previous convictions.

He was so badly hurt that he was taken to hospital by ambu- fance.
