A search was demonstrated before Mr. T. J. Houston at the Central Magistracy yesterday, in the course of In addition to the programme al-case in which Wong Sze-nang, 25. realy fixed for the British Minister shopkeeper, is charged with the theft to-day, Lord Halifax called on Count of $500 from Lal Khan, an Indian Clano at 10 am, at the Palazzo Chigi, Warder, at Bonhom Strand on January The weather was brighter and the sun was shining between clouds as began. programme the long day's
uniform dress Carabinieri in full lined the white marble staircase lead- ing to the Hall of Victory when Lord Halifax arrived accompanied by Sir Alexander Cadogan and other ad-
visers,
It was announced beforehand that no important discussion would take place, the call being purely a courtesy visit, but the talk lasted an hour. It is thought probable ilat Count Clano developed his views of Italy's aspirations as a contribution to peace which Britain might make by giving them her full comprehension. It is also likely that he drew attention to the success of Franco's offensive and Mussolini's intention to consider favourably the American appeal to mediate on the question of Jewish refugees.
It is alleged that defendant snatch- ed $500 in notes from Khan, while the latter was walking along Bonham Strand, after he had left a bank,
Wong said that he changed a $500 note into notes of smaller denomina- tions at the To Hang Bank, and when on his way back to his shop, was stopped by two Indian constables, who said that he had uttered a forged banknote, and searched him.
Mr. Houston asked the defendant to show the Court how the search was conducted. Defendant then searched the Court interpreter, Mr. Yeung Man-yuk.
Defendant said that after he was searched, the complainant came up and accused him of having snatched $500 from him. Defendant denied having committed the theft.
Chance of Treatment
A 35-year-old woman, Wong Ying, who was charged before Mr. R. A. D. Forrest at the Central Magistracy yesterday with begging, was sent to prison for four weeks in order that the might receive proper medical
treatment.
Inspector W. Mair said that he had taken the woman Into West Point police station for shelter on Wednes day as she appeared to be. He had caused inquiries to be made into her circumstances, and discovered that she was alone in the Colony, her husband having been killed in Sing hat.

Asked if the woman could not be sent to the Tung Wah Hospital for treatment, Inspector Baker replied there had been similar cases which had not been brought before the Court, but had been sent to the In each instance, the Hospital. Hospital was very reluctant to take them in, owing to the place being full to capacity. It seemed that the only place where a person of poor circum- stances could receive medical treat- ment was in prison.
