'A WASTER"
Police Inspector Denounces a European Sallor,
A police officer in Hongkong is hard put to when he has to call a European waster," but the conduct of George Rosa,a member of the crew of the Uramelten, did not permit of any milder de ecription than the one given him at the Police Court, this morning, by Inspector Gordon.
This expenditure was met out of the earnings of the half-year.
