ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES:
WATER SERVICE AUTHORITY CLAIMED.
At the Kowloon Magistracy this morning, before Mr. Hamilton, Li fu-sang appeared to answer two charges of having obtained money by means of false pretences.
The first was of having obtained $80 from Ho Kam-lin by represen- ting that he would expedite the laying of the water service to Ho's property at Nos. 201, 209, 205, and 207, Tong Mei Road, Shumshulpo District, when in fact he was not in a position to expedite the work. The second charge was of having obtained unlawfully, with intent to defraud, on Br about March 11, from Ho Kum-lin, by implying by words and conduct that he had been authorised by a certain Euro- pean official to collect $50 for the purpose of making a presentation to the European, with a view to influencing him to facilitate the laying of water service to certain dwellings in Tong Mel Road, whereas he had not been authorls-; ed to do so.
