4.-TREASURY FRAUD CASE.
In January, 1928, the Colonial Treasurer reported to Police that a large sum of money, amounting to $260,407.93, had been fraudulently obtained from the Government Account with the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation by means of 3 forged cheques. As a result of enquiries suspicion ultimately centred on Carvalho Yeo, a former Treasury Clerk, who had left the Government service at the beginning of January after a disagreement with one of the Treasury Officials. In August, 1928, Carvalho Yeo was located and arrested in Shanghai. He was ultimately handed over to the Hong Kong Police and was brought to trial at the November Criminal Sessions, 1928. He was found guilty on three charges, and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on each charge, sentences to run concurrently.
