SELF-PROTECTION.
Mr. Lim: The purpose of our summonses, I want to make it quitq clear at the outset, in not for asking for a beavy penalty it we succeed but just asking for a nominal fino or even a caution.. The real purpose fa for our future saif-protection.
On November 1, between the liour of nine and ten, defendant assaulted Sun Chi-ho and the other complainant in the Yee Tin Tong shop for no lawful reason whatso-
ever.
The defendant walked in and spoke to the first complainant who He was is the assistant manager. serving a customer and, as he does not understand English, could.not make out head or tail of what de- fondant was saying to him. As he could not understand, he thought
he would go on sorving.

The reply was a hard blow on the right side of the face "which sent him to the floor.
ALLEGED KICK, ・・
Dofendant, not being entisfied, followed this up with a kick which missed complainant and struck a sideboard which broke the show case glass. Second complainant then went to the chief manager. He come down and tried to make enquiries, but not knowing English could not make head or tail of the affair. The owner, Mr. Wai, was found together with Mr. Chau, in- terpreter of Russ & Company, at Lane, Crawford's. They camo back and were able to ninke on- quirlas. Second complainant went up to the charge room. Before the charging officer, defondant admit ted the assault, but said he did so becauso the complainant used abusive terms.
BONA FIDES QUESTIONED,、 One more minor point is this, personally have certain grounds of doubt as to the bona fide of the cross Bummonace, because they were issued after our summonses had gone through. It does throw edmo doubt in my mind.
Mr. Fraser: I have never heard of such an allegation based on auch a reason. It is unheard of.
Mr. Lim: Ohe of them is not a cross summons. It charges the proprietor of the shop with ob- struction under the summary offences ordinance. However, am not pressing on that point.
Magistrate: Was the defendant en duty at the time?
