CHARGES AGAINST CHINESE CONSTABLE.
An extraordinary story of the inside working arrangement of a gang of pickpockets was related to Mr. R. E. Lindsell yesterday af- tensoon, when a youthful witness, who admitted ho had been convict ed three times for pocket pleking, gave evidence for the prosecution against a Chinese constable.

In all, three witnesses were call ed yesterday-all admitting that they were members of a certain gang of pickpockets operating in Hongkong-and from these three men a very good insight as to how pickpockets In Hongkong work, was gleaned.. It would appear from their evidence that the gang consists of seven or eight men who set out on their day's work in one group. The youngest of the group walks a little ahead of the others and when a prospective victim comes into view it is his duty to do the "plucking." If he should succeed the spoil is passed to one or the other of those who follow.
Reinforcements. Sometimes an intended victim might keep his purse or pocket book in one of his breast pockets, and if it should happen that the youngest of the group is not tall enough for the work, one of those walking behind.is selected for the task.

The greatest argument he put forward was himself-a poor, yet happy man. He admitted that it was necessary to have a certain amount of money.
