where the Second Police Magistrate decided to hear the case
against Chiu Yan Sau, remanding the first defendant pending
hearing of this case. The charges against Yan Tong and
Luk Chung Ping were withdrawn. The documents in the case
were examined by the Postmaster General and the case against
Chiu Yan Sau proceeded with on 19th April, 1939. Acting
in accordance with instructions received from the Postmaster
General I formally withdrew the charge of maintaining,
working or using the radio set and substituted a charge of
carrying messages intended for transmission by telegraph
under section 16 of the Telecomunication Ordinance. The
Second Police Magistrate heard he evidence but decided that
guilty knowledge had not been proved and accordingly dis-
charged the defendant.
On the 21st inst. I proceeded to Tai Po Police
Court where Mr. Barrow, heard the case against the first
defendant. He having pleaded guilty was fined $50 for
working the set, and the transmitter and all gear were
confiscated. Case No.628/39.
