The box was opened and found to contain a green silk covered box containing a box of powder and a powder case; a grey box containing a gold ring with a single red stone; a silver powder puff case with chain engraved "B, K. H."; twelve silk handkerchiefs in a Jacquer box; a pair of sunglasses, in metal case; a basket containing sewing materials; two pairs of scissors and two bottles of scent. The man was produced before Mr. Hamilton, at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning. He said the articles had been thrown aside by his former muster, Mr. Heely, who had left the Colony, and that he (defendant) had picked them

An amah, who had been in the employ of Mr. Heely, gave evidence to the effect that before her master left the Colony he left a lot of old articles behind.
Sergeant Shepherd informed Mr. Hamilton that Mr. Heely had left for Shangkai some time ago.
Mr. Hamilton remanded the de fendant for one week on $5 bail, and asked the Sergeant to commu- nicate with Mr. Heely as to whether he wanted the man to be prosecuted.

The Principal Defence. When the Court resumed its sit- ting in the afternoon, Mr. Frank lin said that the principal defeare was that five years elapsed bo tween the trial in Tientsin and the Aling of the motion for a new trial. None of the grounds upon which plaintiff based his application existed immediately after the trial anil, under the circumstances, there was an excuse for plaintiff's failure to file his metiða for a reg trial within the period of one year as prescribed by law.
The Judge, in adjourning the hearing and warning: plaintiff to be ready to reply, told Mr. Frank lin to cite authorities to show whether or not a judgment could be vacated and a new trial granted after the lapse of such a lengthy period as in the present ease.
