PRISON SENTENCE FOR ARMY MAJOR
Major Donald Peachey, RE, was given three months by Judge K. R. Macfee at the Kowloon District Court this morning when he was found guilty on two counts of corruption,
The managing partner of the Shun Hing Con- struction Co., Chau Chung-sang, who offered a bribe to Peachey on two occasions last year, was given the same sentence,
Capt. Harry Curtis, RE, who faced one charge of corruption, alleging the receipt of $1,500, was found not guilty and discharged. The corruption charge against Chau for allegedly offering this amount to the captain was therefore dismissed.
