THREE WOUNDS There were three small wounds on his left shoulder, and two on his thigb, and a pocket knife was found about two yards away. The blood-stained knife was produced in Court).

ALLEGED CONFESSION
In Pau's pocket book were found two $10 bills. After he was question- ed Pau confessed to inflicting the wounds on himself, and admitted that the money could be found in a cupboard in the hallway on the second floor of Prince's Building. At that place $330 was found in a roll of bis and defendant fur- ther admitted that the $20 in his possession was part of the loot.
Inspector Carey concluded that he was Instructed that in this case he was unable to urge a plea for leniency. The plan was deliberate and well thought up, but he would leave the matter in the Magia- trate's hands.
MR. POTTER'S PLEA Mr. Potter pleaded with his Worship to temper justice with mercy, adding that defendant had been in his employ for fifteen years, and first came to him as a small child and assumed his pre- sent position after the former office boy left,
Defendant' had drawn money out of the bank for him on in- numerable occasions and he had not found that one penny was missing in all those years.
Since defendant's arrest. it was learned that he was supporting a large number of people dependant on him: His mother, two "unem- ployed brothers, a wife. and two children, and it seemed that he had reached the breaking point and went wrong.
KINDLY OFFER
"In view of his past record,”. continued Mr. Potter, "and in or der to give him a chance I make an offer to take him back in my employment I believe that he will go straight and he will ob viously be ruined for We if he Roes to prison.”

"Simple But
Interesting Climax"
An appeal against the judgment for the plaintiff for $200 and costs cecently awarded by Justice J. J. Hayden. As a result of the case brought before the Summary Court by Leung Kam-hoo against the Tu Chung Yat Po for libel, was heard before the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, assisted by Justice J. A. Fraser, at the Supremė Court yesterday morning.
The Hon. Mr. Leo d'Almada e Castro, J. appeared for the ap- pellant, while the respondent was no lepresented in Court,
The whole or yesterday's hearing centred on the Hon. Mr. d'Almada é Castro's submission that plain- tiff's dismissal having been proved and admitted by himself in Court. there was no innuendo attached to the meaning of the words appear- ing in the advertisement, which appeared in the Tal Chung Yat Po stating that Leung. Ham-koo had been "diamissed for a certain matter." over which the case nrose
Chief Justles: Would any of these words convey to the ordinary reader meaning of inability of capacity?
NO DISCREDITABLE REASON Appellant's counsel pointed out that a man might be dismissed for many reasons, good or bad, or over mere caprice on the part of his employer, and endted that the words in the case concerned im-
piled any discreditable reason.
Counsel: Once the fact of dis- missal is brought to mind, the learned judge should have directed himself that these words were not capable of a defamatory meaning becatise no innuendo had been pleaded He should have stopped the case and mu let it go to the jury.
After the Hon. Mr. d'Almada e Castro had concluded, the Chier Justice said: "It is most regret- table that the respondent is unable to be represented here in Court. It is a simple but interesting climax to a case. It will take time to consider our decision and to put it into writing."
Judgment was therefore re- served.
