A. Forrer, yesterday when he heard a case of voluntarily caus ing grievous hurt with a danger- ous weapon against the actor, Dollah bin Ali.
"The complainant producer, Mr. Mohamed Ali Moonshi, stated that among the many professions which he had followed were, sub-editor of Malay vernacular newspaper," au- thor and playwright and super-" visor in the dim production of a Dayak dance scene.
Dr. E. S. Monteiro, of the Gen eral Hospital, stated that the con plainant was brought in by a con- stablo shortly after 10 am, on June 7. He had a lacerated wound on hia face which the doctor stitch- ed. He was then allowed to leave hospital.
Mr. Moonshi, the complainant, then gave evidence in English. He related that an American film com- pany had engaged him in con. nection with the filming of a Dayak dance. Several actors were requit ed for the scenes and for that pur pose he had a man named Syed Ali to engage people at the rate of $4 a day.
On June 7, about 10a.m., con tinued complainant, he met the ag- cused walking near the New World. Dollah demanded payment of his fee for taking part in the dance scenes.
