Chan had gone about 150 yards. along Lady Clementi's Drive, whịch was the nearest way to his mat- shed, when he encountered five men carrying sticks. They attack- ed him and threw him down. After removing his holster containing the revolver, they went through his pockets. They were apparently in a hurry, fearing that the workmen might come along at any moment. They relieved him of $810, after which they put a sack over his head, and tied him with ropes.
Bome time later a woman hap- pened to pass that way and she informed the people at the mat shed. When the workmen arrived, they followed his footmarks leading down to the hillside and found the two, accused hiding in the under growth. One man had a $500 and à $100 note in the lining of his cap, while the other had in his ppssession a $100 note. matter of fact, both men were re- cognised as having called at the matshed earlier in the day, osten- sibly in search of work,
