ARMS POSSESSION,
CHINESE HOUSEBOY GETS
FIVE YEARS.
A sentence of five years' hard labour was imposed on a Chincuo who appeared at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday on a charge of possession of one revolver and two rounds of ammunition,
The case was taken by two Magistrates, Mr. W. Schofield and Major G. Willson.
When the charge was read to the defendant he pleaded guilty.
Sergeant Mottram, who was pro.. eccuting, informed his Worship that on August 18, a Chinese detective rocelved information regarding a man with a revolver. This do tective together with a colleaguó went to Temple Street and pro- ceoded in a northerly direction. When they reached Jordan Road the defendant was pointed out to them.
The two detectives approached the defendant from behind, one of them seizing him by his right arm whilst the other held the man on the left side. A short struggio followed and the detectivce ob- eerved that the defendant's aim in the struggle was to attempt to draw his revolver. One of the dotectives tried to seize the hands of the defendant, whilst the other, realising the defendant's object, drew his own revolver and shot him in the leg.
The ambulance was then Bent for and the nearest Police Sta- tion notified. When Sergeant Maliram arrived on the scene he found the defendant lying on the ground.
Dr. Mellon's Revolver. The revolver, it was Inter dis- covered belonged to Dr. Mellon. The defendant who was a house boy, employed by Dr. Mellon had a special key to one of Dr, Mellon's trunks in the latter's bedroom. At the time of the occurrence Dr. Mellon was out of the Colony. De- fendant hud informed the police that a man named Ah Wan had ordered him to go and fight some- body in Mongkok. The defendant, however, was not lible to give the surname of Ah Wan, nor his occl- pation nor place of abode.
Asked by the Magistrate whe- ther he had anything to any, de- fendant said that for some time past he had been bullied by mem- bers of a certain triad society. A sum of $30 had been demanded from him by that society and on the advice of some friends he had seized this master's revolver and gone out that night, with a view to settling with some of the men who were terrorising him.
Sergeant Mottram said that Dr. Mellon had stated that he had no ammunition
the whatever in- house. Asked where he found, the two rounds, the defendant told' the Magistrates that he found it In other parts of his employer's - house.
Thoir Worships, after commend- ing the Chinese detectives for the plucky manner in which they tack!. ed the defendant, passed sentence of five years' hard labour.

Peking, Aug. 31.. Mr.
Roy C. Andrews dis- cussed the detention of his speel- mens with the Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Perkins, this morning. It is understood that Mr. Andrews' post- tion is that he went on the expedi tion with the sanction of the Gov ornment then existing in Peking and Mr. MacMurray sponsored the trip, seeing them off beyond Kalgan.
Mr. Andrews declared that the relics cannot be considered curios as they have no market value, but aro valuable anly for scientific pur- poses. He ridicules the sugges tion that he prospected, for oll. Ile has not yet been officially in- formed that his boxes have been detained.Reuter.
