PRISON OFFICER OUT $10
Mr. J. E. Burns, Prison Officer, Starley Prison, was at Luard Road, Wanchai district, on Saturday when he felt a movement close to his hip pocket. Putting a hand behind him, Mr. Burns caught hold of some one's hand and discovered that a thief was trying to steal his money. The person whose hand was caught managed to escape from the grasp but Mr. Burns chased him and arrested him in a scavenging lane.
The arrested man, Lam Shun, 20, unemployed, was charged with theft of $10 from Mr. Burns and was sen- tenced to six months' hard labour by Mr. H. G. Sheldon, K.C., at the Central Magistracy to-day,
Det.-Sergeant Morrison said that $10 had been stolen from Mr. Burns but apparently this money had been dis- carded by the defendant when he was chased as the money was missing. The defendant had two previous convic- tions for similar offences, said the Det--Sergeant.
