BRITISH NOT SO BITTER ABOUT
CAN'T DO THAT THERE HERE
"It is a pity that I cannot impose a sentence of more than tv years Imprisonment," sald Mr. George.She at the Central Magistracy yesterday when he imposed the maximum sentence on Sin Hak-chni, charged with assaulting a tramenr Conductor and attempting to avoid pay- meat of fare.
Mr. M. W. Lo, appearing for the Tramways, asked the Court to take a serious view as since June there had been 45 similar
CHAPS.
Hooligana such as accused often jumped on tramcars, re- fused to pay and assaulted the
conductors.
Mr. She told the accused that it was all right for him to net like that during the Japanese regime but not under the pre- Bent Government,
Accused was fined $10 or two weeks' hard labour for avoiding payment of fare and two years hard labour for as- sault.
