How an unemployed Chinese im personated a police officer and, ex- urted notey from two hawkers was told in the Central Police Court thin morning, when Lee Chung- Iman, aged 29, pleaded guilty before
Mr. Macfadyen,
It was recounted by Detective- Sergeant Gowans that at 7 o'clock inst night defendant, stating him- self to be a detective, approached a woman hawker and asked if she had a licence. He then asked for ten rents with which to “drink ten." She gave him five copper cents. A district watchman observed this. The defendant then went up to a made hawker and grabbed hold of this carrying pose. 120 bemused him of having caused an obstruction.
Stating that he was a constable of the Emergency Unll, he demanded five cents, which the hawker pro- duced.
When arrested by the district watchman the defendant said:— "Everybody knows me, don't you?" When asked to produce his identification, he was unable to do 80 and wa laken to the Police Station.
