Detective Sergeant Humphreys said, that those were the facts of the case. The defendant's sister was wishing complainant's shirt and had put the cuff links aside, and the defendant had taken them. He sold the links to a pawn broker for $4. They were worth $35.
The defendant's sister, said that her brother was a good man. He had only just come from the coun- try and came to visit her to get some money to buy food.
Mr. Whyte Smith: His action does not seem like the action of a good man.

His Worship drew attention to the statement, but Mr. Lo asked if his Worship regarded it as tant- amount to a plea of guilty.
His. Worship remarked that he did not take it as a ples of guilty but it looked like an admission of the correctness of the charge. He said that an innocent man would have denied the charge.
Mr. Lo replied that the charge was one of possession in Connaught Road, which was impossible, and thê statement made by the defendant merely meant that he knew nothing of the Incident.
The defendants were remanded until Thursday morning, hail be- ing granted in the sum of $5,000 cách.
