UNWELCOME GUEST.
TWO WOMEN COME TO BLOWS.
Arising out of a fight between two women, Ching Pik Kwan took out a summons against Chan Yuk for assault. When the case was down for hearing before Mr. Whyte Smith at Kowloon Magis- tracy yesterday, the complainant
intimated that she wished to with
draw the summons, as she had received an apology from the de-
fendant's brother-in-law.
According to the complainant, the trouble arose when she went to defendant's house at 138, Portland Street at 8 am, on August 1. The defendant resented the visit and after pushing complainant down, struck and kicked her. On ac count of this assault, the complain- ant had a number of bruises and had to be confined in bed for somet time.
The defendant told his Worship. that complainant had been in the habit of coming to her house, al- though she had been asked not to do so. On the day in question, they had an argument which developed into a fight.
As desired by complainant, the Magistrate allowed the case to be withdrawn.
