CHIEF JUSTICE'S COMMENTS AON
shriek A COWARDLY "ACTION.
The park-keeper stated that at 10:30 am. on the previous day he was on duty in the Gardens and, when arar the statio of Sir Arthur Kennelly, hard t coming from the steps below. He ran to the
spot, and saw about ten boys surrounding three girls. Chi his approach, the boys dispersed. He followed two of them into Macdonald Road, where they were captured by Dr. S. C. Ho. In cross examination, the witness aid that whei he first saw the boys they were about 5 or yards away from the girls. They were not actually interfering with them, but were pushing and hustling each other in such a way as to hinder the progress of the girls.
A secon-witness, the foreman gardener. in a measure corroborated the evidence of the park-keeper, but doubted whether the first defendant was the man who was arrested by Dr. Ho. He thought he was substitute. This the first defendant ad- mitted.
Betrayal of a comrade in crime is not always a paying game, as Chinese prisoner discovered at the Criminal Ses- sions yesterday morning
There were two prisoners and they were indicted for illegal possession of a revolve and five rounds of ammunition. When arrested, one man told the police that the weapon had been given to him by a friend. The police paid the friend a visit, and wore blandly informed by him that he hat given the previous man the revolver so that he could go to the police afterwards, Lay information, and claim the reward......
The Chief Justice characterized the first prisoner's conduct as "gowardly in the ex treme" and sentenced prisoner to three years' hard labour and ten strokes with the cat. He did not consider the first prisoner's like serious as that.
Dr. Bo déposed that, hearing police of the earthing sker for sentenced int
whistles being blown, he jumped out of his to two years hard abour and twelve chair and stopped two youths whom he saw strokes with the birch. coming running out of the gardens. Be did not recognise the first defendant as one of them. W

Several complaints | QU ·N'S COLLEGE ROTAL ENGINEERS. had been made of boys interfering with young girls, and several indecent letters had been found on the seats in the gardens. Ho had brought the case as is warning, for there had been too much of this sort of thing going on and something had to be done to stop it.
Addressing the defendants, his Worship | pointed out that the Gardens were open to the public and if they wanted to go there they must behave themselves. As the first defendant had not appeared but sent a substitute is bail of $5 would be extrented. The second defendant was discharged..
