The complainant remained hospital until May 15, and, on leav ing. expressed the desire to with- draw the summons; but on instruc- tions from Mr. Burlingham, D.S.P. Kowloon, the summons was carried on with and brought to Court.
Evidence was, given by the com- plainant, who said that he was not certain who stabbed him. There were a number of people standing around nt, the time and who tried to separate him and the defendant.
The Hong Kong A.A. patrolman in evidence said that he saw the two parties "having hot words and put their hands on each other." He said that he separated them and then went away to sit in another car and saw no more.
This wituees was pressed and further stated that he saw them again when the assault started but did not see the knife being used. He remarked that he had given a wrong statement at the Police Station of what he had seen because he was afraid of the Indian constable!
Further evidence was taken and the hearing was adjourned until June 14.

The British and Danish Ministers to China are reported by the Chi- nese Press to have sent notes to the Waichiaopu, suggesting that China's cable contracts with for- eigners should be renewed so that the foreign cable companies may continue to enjoy their privileges. This request, says the Chinese Press, has been rejected.
Over forty Communist bandits, including a number of women, were killed by Government troops in Nantungchow as a result of a fight which took place several days ago. la" this connection, the Chinese Press reports that the handit tenace in Huchow, Chekiang, is as bad as ever and, on May 25, a rich merchant's family of six members "were burned to death by tafei.
General Chang Shih Chien, nide de-camp to General Chiang Kai Shek, in an interview with Chinese picssmen in Nanking, denied the report circulated by foreign news- papers of Shanghai that General Chiang was wounded in battle. The Waichiaopu, says the Chinese Press, will take this matter up with the foreign consuls concerned and see that no such rumours are published in future.
