F. C. 687 said he saw the defendant come running up Kwong Yane Street, paraned by complainant, who was calling ont "fallllung." He went towards the de- ran the other way. Witness paraned and caught him; the complainant came up and said in Chinese" he has a knife." Witness searched him and found the knife in the waist-band of his trousers; both blades wore closed. The complainant had the broken umbrella in his hand, and was bleeding from his left arm. He charged the defendant with stealing the umbrella and stabbing him in the arm. The defend- ant then said, in reply to the charge, I was gambling with the complainant, who lost half-a-dollar to me; he would not pay the money and wanted to beat me, so I ran away." Witness then took complainant and defendant to the Station.
