A signal was given "for the defendant to stop, but the "order was disobeyed, and by the time the sergeant turned his cycle round to give chase the motor car was out of sight. By travelling at } a speed of 40 miles per hour the officer came upon the car in Sand Street, zig-zagging across the road in a manner which was dangerous to the public.
In the meantime the car had passed a combination in which were Inspector Grant and Ser- geant Clark. The driver of the car was again called upon to pull up, but the shout was ignored.
Serveant Clark went by way of the Praya to intercept the car, while Sergeant Basting continued the chase to Kennedy Town.. In Forbes Strect, the car was aban- doned at the back of the Slaughter House and all the occupants, four or five Chinese, ran towards Cadogan Street,
The party was followed and the defendant was arrested. The Police witnesses were positive that the defendant was the man at the wheel.
