EXTENSIVE KQBBARY.
COMPRADORE'S FOKI CHARGED.
Im Pan Nama Joki, formarly in the employ of U Chung Shus, compradore to Messrs. Skott and Company, was charged at the Criminal Sessions this morning, with stealing from his master a cash-box containing $2,308, a "pockat- boo", valued at $1, a chequa for $200, a cheque bork, a number of papers and some Nanking stamps, and with receiving stolen property.
The Attorney-General (Mr. W. Rees Davies, KC), instructed by Mr. Dennys, of Messrs. Deneys and Bowley, prosecuted. The de fendant, who pleaded not guilty, was represent ed by Mr. H. G. Calthrop, with whom was Mr. C. E: H. Beavis, of Mesars. Wilkinson and Grist.
The jury consisted of Messrs. W. Nicholis (foreman), H. Rustomjee, H. R. Hertslet, P. H. J. G. Jonckhier, J. E. Danielsen, J. Witchell and D. M. Neitseo.
The Attorney General, outlining the particu- lors of the case, stated that defendant was at one time in the compradore department of Messra, Skott and Company.
He had been there for over three years, leaving the busi communicated to the other cabinets a slightness in June last. The stolen goods were ly modified programme to be submitted to kept in a safe in the compradore's room. the proposed European conférence.
It is understood that there are some diver gencies among the Powers regarding terms, but these are believed to be remoyable.
Later.
In Europe a calm has supervened while the Powers are discussing the programme of the proposed conference.
Montenegro and Servia are quiescent, trusting that they have scared Europe into rewarding them:
Bulgarie is the uncertain factor, keeping her army on a war footing, and provoking Turkey to resort to defensive measures.
A collision between these two is always possible...
Russia and Perala. The Novoye Premya, in a significant article, declares that the ruin of her com merce, the damage to her prestige, and the menace of political complications, may force Rusela to undertake the appeasement of the Persian province of Azerbaijan.
LOST CHAIRS RECOVERED,
MAN'IN WHOSE POSSESSION THEY WERE
DISCHARGED ON QUESTION
OF LAW.
In November last the lack of the sale got out of order and a new lock was got by the defend- ant One of the keys was kept by the assistant compradore, the other being kept in the safe. During the time defendant was employed there the key was kept by him in the absence of the compradore, and be bad ample time to take a
cast
Shortly after six o'clock on the afternoon of November 18th the assistant compradore went out, having locked the safe, and in the presence of a number of his brothers put away a. sum of money. He was away for about an hour, and a consequence of what one of his brothers' discovered he was sent for. On his return ke found the safe unlocked and the, money gone. At that time there was no trace of the thief, but Detective Sergeant Appleton; while examining the premises, discovered two pairs of footprints on the lodge of the window of the compradore department. There was no other way of effecring no entrance into this part of the building except through the window, which could be reached by walking along the ledge (a foot wide) which led to the window. Suspicion fell on the defendant, and the Can ton-steamers were watched. From information- received, Sergeant Appleton boarded the French steamer Churles Hardouin and arrested the defendant on the 21st-thṛen days after the robbery had been committed When arrested- he had S17 od in his possession, besides a quantity of clothing, be sergeant subse- quently visited defendant's lodgings and is a box be found a pocket book, which was identified by the prosecutor as his proper

in his possession and stored in his house could be convicted He was of opinion that the person must be aire.ted in the street with the gonds in his possoisin, before anything could be done.
This decision was given in case in which the master of a second-hand shop
in Lower Lascar Row was accused of being in unlawful possession of two wooden chairs, the property of Mrs. Higby, wife of Sergeant-Major Hagby, of the Hongkong Volusleer). The chairs, which were valued at $1.50 each, disappeared from the verandah of the lady's house a day or two ago. The police were notified and-after-a-search they were found in defendant's shop. Questioned as to how he came in possessiva of them, he replied that he had purchased them from a coolie whom he did not know.. Asked the price be paid for them, he replied forty-five ccule
When the evidence had been heard his Worship, having given his opinion on the
In the middle of the pockelbook- was on elastic band which the compradore had seen on himself, making the identification clearer. Again defendant was searched and la his socks were found two Seso bills and two Sto notes. The two 5:00 notes formed a portion of the money rempyed from the safe.
Keeping money in one's socks, the Attorney- General continued, was no: an uncommon thing in this country, but the very fact that defendant, having so much money in his possession, when his salary was $13 per month, was subject for suspicion. It was always "a difficult matter to identify money, but where a man is found in possession of stolen property, pro- perty which could be identified as in the case of the pocket book, the law threw the burden on him of showing how he came in possession. of the goods la the absence of any such Proof the jery would be justified in finding him guilty on the second count,
Witnesses were then called to substantiate the above statements This was continued into the afternoon, when a question arose, while Sergeant Appleton was in the witness box, at to shs manner in which the room was entered, in the absence of a plan of the mattor, asked the prosecutor-inspector Rit-house Mr. Justice Gompertz suggested that chio-to withdraw'sha'chirgo.
