HOUSES
Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe sentenced a Chinese to three months hard labour for having stolen six sheets of zine from the military block-houses at Yaumati.
Inspector Davits said that, if a Mili- tary Officer was present, he would have informed the Court that the military had great trouble owing to these frequent thefts Owing to being under-staffed at Yaumati, the military could not exercise proper, supervision over the block-houses.
WANTON DESTRUCTION OF TREES.
When two women were charged with the destruction of trees, Mr. E. D. C. Wolle said that a great number of trees were being destroyed by Chinese, and it was a practice that must stop. He would increase the fines in future if these cases continued to come before him. It would seem to be the practice of these people to break a branch off a tree when passing to and from work, and two or three days later, when the branch wis dry, to carry it away. A great deal of this sort of thing was going on in the Peak District.
