WORKING CARGO ON SUNDAY.
RIVER STEAMER'S MASTER FINED...
FIREWOOD OR LUGGAGE?
Captain M. McCarthy, master of the Wuchow river steamer 8.8. "Kong Ning appeared before Com- mander J. B. Newill, D.S.O., R.N., at the Marine Court yesterday morning for working enrgo from his ship on Sunday, June 10th.
Mr. R. A. Wadeson of Messrs. Deacons & Company appeared o behalf of the defendant and entered a plea of not guilty,
Police evidence was given by Sergeant Elliot who said that be passed the s.. Kong Ning at about noon of the 10th instant and saw bundles of firewood being loaded into a junk which was alongside. He boarded the vessels and asked if the defendant had a Sunday permit. The defendant replied that he was not working cargo but ferred the witness to the compra dore. Witness" then saw the com-
pradore who stopped the discharge of cargo and made one junk return the bundles of wood to the ship, The compradore did not deny that he was working cargo.
LITTLE TICH'S LOST. WEALTH.
£450 A WEEK SALARY BUT NO
IL ESTATE.
MISFORTUNES.
Little Tich, the fameus comedian, died practically penniless
His will, if he ever made one, has hot been found, but it is clear that his financial position was such that nobody could have benefited by his death. Indeed, what little estate he had would not have been suficient to pay his debts.
and
Harry Relph, which was little Tich's real name, was at one time one of the most highly-paid come- dians on the variery stage, when he died at Hendon last February, at the age of fifty-nine, many of his friends imagined that he had saved a fair amount of money,
23 and £60 a week, and in later Thirty-five years ago he earned years he earned as much as £430 week. Within recent years, he wa paid from £150 to 5900 a week.
There is no doubt that at one time he possessed a considerable sum, but
rum of bad luck, unemployment for fifteen months, and other mis
fortunes, due to no fault of his own, caused him to realise his in- vestments.

Witness was cross-examined by HONG KONG METEOROLOGICAL Mr. Wadeson who remarked that the bundles of wood were "not dis- charged into one junk but several. Witness admitted that this was so, and that the bundles of wood were. Hc not the usual commercial size. saw pigs on board the Kong Ning but no chickens and admitted that | Barometer.. on the way from Wachow they cer- Tempersinn tainly would have required feeding, Humidity... and that it would be necessary to Wind- use something to prepare the food. Mr. Wadeson then suggested that the supposed firewood was so used and might be termed passenger's | luggage. In reply to a query by the Magistrate Mr. Wadeson re- plied that if it was not the luggage of the pig coolies, it would be the pig's luggage.
The witness was asked why he questioned the compradore, and said that he did so in the ordinary course of his duty, Mr. Wadeson then remarked that it was unfair. to ask incriminating questions as a Policeman and a Police Court Magistrate were nearly the same in the minds of most Chinese."
