SEQUEL TO PERJURY CHARGE. APPEAL AGAINST THE SENTENCE
In the Full Court of Appeal on Satur day, before the Chief Justice (Bir William Roca Davies), and the Puisne Judge (Mr. H. H. J. Gompertz), Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.Q. (instructed by Mr. F. X. d'Almada), applied for leave to appeal to Privy Coun cil on behalf of Hang Ron Chi, a trader. of Bonham Strand, against a sentence of twelve months hard labour (of such a nature as he could perform) which was passed upon him at the Criminal Sessions, for perjury, a jury finding him guilty.
The Attorney General (Mr. J. B Kemp) and Mr. Elon Potter, 'instructed by Mr. Shenton, of Messrs, Deocon, Looker, Deacon & Harston's office, were for the Crown.
Mr. Pollack, in making the application, said the petitioner also asked, in the event of the leave to appeal being granted, that the judgment might be suspended upon ade quate bail boing provided. Counsel learn- from the other side that the position to be taken up on behalf of the Crown was, that assuming their lordships had no jurisdic tion to grant leave of appeat, their lord- ships had no power to grant bail. Coun sel submitted that tast position was an in- correct one. He then proceeded to cite cases and to argue on various points of law.
The Chief Justice said he would havo. thought there was no doubt about the in- herent power of the Court to grant bail were it not for the fact that the jury Found the defendant guilty.
Counsel said there did not appear to he any rule whereby the Prigy Council could grant bail. Their lordships could grant special leave to appeal.
At
The Chief Justive said if the Court could legally grant the appeal they would do so und entertain the question of hail. Home an appon against convictions in criminal cases was recognised.
Mr. Pollock proceeded that unless ball was granted, prisoner would remain in pri- Mon for an absolutely indefinite time and he might serve his sentence. The net result would be, providing he was successful in the appeal, he would have the satisfaction. of being successful and he would also have the mortification of knowing he had alan served the sentence.

UNDER POISONS ORDINANCE.
PROSECUTION
A Chinese shopkeeper of Wing Lok Lang was charged on remand before Mr. Hart- land at the Magistracy on Saturday ou live counts under the Poisons Ordinance, namely, with keeping a shop for the sale of polsun, not being a registered chemist. and druggist, with selling poison, with selling, to a person unknown, with selling without making an entry of the sale, and with selling poison without having the word poison marked in English and Chinese on the bottle.
Mr. G. N. Orme, of the Crown Solici tor's office, prosecuted, and Mr. A. H. Crew, of Messrs. Hastings & Hostings, defended,
Giving judgment, his worship said that defendant had been selling this drug since 1909 and that Messrs. A. S. Watson & Co commenced to sell it there or four years ago. He was of opinion that the 1/50 part of a grain of a drag in a tablet could not be described as infinitesimal. He therefore found against the defendant on the four summonses, but having regard to the cir- cunistances he did not think the penalty should be a heavy one. Under section 3. and under section 10 (selling poison with- out the word "poison" marked) he fined defendant $10 or 14 days, the two to run, consecutively. There would be no penalty with respect to the other two. convictions under Section 10. Mr Hazeland added that he was quite prepared to state a case. and Mr. Crew intimated that he would consider his position.
