A PLUCKY ACT.
YOUNG CHINESE COMMENDED BY MAGISTRATE.
A Chinese, described as a church bay, was commended on Saturday by Mr. R. E. Lindsell for his plucky act in chasing a Anutcher and arresting him. Mr. Lindsell, ad- dressing the youth, said: "I con gratulate you on your public spirit and your pluck, and I hope you will be rewarded. If all people acted as you have done, there would be much less crime in the Colony".
The snatcher, who was also a youth, had snatched a pair of gold earrings from a Chinese amah who was walking along Bonham Road. Her ears were torn by the snatcher and it was then that the church-boy, hearing her shouts and reuliaing what happened, gave chase which led to the thief's arrest.
Mr. Lindsell rewarded the young snatcher with forty eight hours' detention and twenty strokes of
the birch.
