That life and property is more insecure in Hong Kong at present than in the most backward parts of Africa and that where there was an actual use of firearms by any member of a gang of robbers he and his accomplices could expect a sentence of imprisonment for life, were some of the observations made by His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Blackall, at the Criminal Sessions yesterday before tak ing places.

It appears to me, there fore, that the sentences which have been passed, although they would be severe enough in normal circumstances, are not sufficient to deter the gangsters and robbers severe bearing of men who are making Hong Kong a Shortly behore Amas 1942, a par-happy hunting ground.
