A young Chinese woman," who was produced as a witness by Ins pector Shaftain, said that she was one of a number of girls main- tained at a brothel in Wing Shing Street. On August 26, in the evening, she was sent to the Mei- chow Hotel and was introduced by a room-boy to a man who occupied Room No. 301. This was in ac- cordance with a system or arrange- ment made with the room-boys of the hotel by which nearly 50 per cent. of her earnings were divid- ed amongst the latter, and the re- mainder in equal amounts be- tween her mistress and herself.
Replying to the Magistrate, she said that she had made ten similar visits to the Hotel prior to the evening in question. She did not suggest that the management of the Hotel received any percentage of the money earned on these visits. A district watchman said it was

Mr. L. D. Turner, for the defence, in criticising what he described as an official "trap," disclaimed the responsibility of the proprietor for the offence, as all reasonable pre- cautions had been taken.
Inspector Shaftain pointed out that under the' Ordinance the man- agement of the hotel were accoun- table for the acts of their servanta. His Worship stated that the only point left for him to consider was the gravity of the offence and the fixing of the penalty accordingly.
