The two Shantung youth who fraudently converted into their own use the sum of $14,998.01 belonging to their employers were arraigned before the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Gollan, yesterday at the Supreme Court.
The prisoners were Yu Yuan Shing and Hou Tsing Huan, and the charge against them was that on August 4th, they were sent by their employers, the Yee Tai Hong, to deposit 814,998.01 into a Chinese Bank. They went away with the money and two days later were found in a house, with some young display of jewellery.
