Evidence was taken in the case against the first defendant. It was stated that during a raid at the house on the afternoon of April 26, the police found two daggers under the defendant's bed.
The prosecution called Mr. Lo's client, who was the principal tenant of the premises, This witness said the cubicle in which the daggers were found was oc- cupied solely by the defendant, Nobody else used the room.
The defendant claimed that the daggers had been left by a marine hawker, who also lived in the house, and cross-examined the wit- ness about this man. The prin- cipal tenant admitted that during the latter part of the marine baw ker's stay on the premises he had frequently gone into the defen- dant's cubicle, sometimes sleeping with the defendant. The marine |hawker left on April 23 and had
not been seen since.

His Worship read the section which states:-"Any person who, without lawful authority excuse, is found in or upon any battery, or in or upon any place, whether fortified or not, which is set, àpart or reserved for naval or military operations or purposes and which the general public have no right to enter into or upon, shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on summary conviction, be linble to a fine not exceeding $500, or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months."
His Worship:-Oh yes, it cer- tainly comes under that.
The defendant, in pleading to the charge, said he had gone to the barracks to look for a friend.
His Worship:-What were you doing with the biscuits?
Defendant:-I didn't take any
