ALLEGED CHEATING AND DEFRAUDING.
STRONG COMMENTS BY MR. HAZELAND.
་་་་་”
Mr. Hazeland this afternoon delivered judg ment in the case of Ng Yau Kun who' was recently charged before him for "that he the said Ng Yau Kun, on the 3rd day of July, 1901, at Victoria Harbour in this Colony did cheat and defraud one Leung Shang Kam of the sum of $22.30,"

I'am of opinion that the fraud committed by the defendant was a mere' private imposition, plainant-the person he was dealing with. It and was only an imposition upon the con- is simply a non-performance of his contract for which aan-performance the complainant may bring his action.
My finding is therefore for the defendant, and I order his discharge.
His Worship added that be came to the decision with a feeling of great regret. The evidence had disclosed a very disgraceful state. of affairs as to the matiner in which seamen in the port of Shau-ki-wan lorded over their am ployers. If it had been in an English ship in which that man was engaged he would have been clearly guilty of desertion and liable to eight weeks hard labour. He put that forward, as a matter of importance as he could not help thinking the conduct of these men must affect the fishing trade of Shau-ki-wan to a very great extent. He thought some representation ought to be made to have the thing pat a
stop to.
