THE LATE MR. BATESON WRIGHT

LADY ATTACKED IN KOWLOON
Daring Bag Snatcher
A brutal attack was made on Mrs E L Rocha, of No. 17, Sal Yeung Chol Street, on Friday night at about seven o'clock, when an unknown Chinese male attempted to rob her of her hand bag at the Junction of Sal Yeung Chol Street and Playing-ground Field Road about 100 yards away from the Police Training School.
Mrs. Rocha was returning home from the St. Theresa's Church, when suddenly a man came up from behind and gripped her arms. When she shouted for help the man used his fists and struck her several times on the chest and face.
On hearing the sound of foot- steps coming from around the corner, the man took to his heels and escaped in the direction of the polo ground.
