AN INGENIOUS EXCUSE

A very ingenious excuse was given at the Magistracy this morning, when a Chinese was charged before bir Wood with the larceny of a piece of sheet iron, the property of a Japanese steamer in the harbour.

It was stated, that the defendant was seen by an Indian constable yesterday, walking along the Prays East with the sbest iron carried under his arm. The policeman called out to the defend- ant to stop. The latter did not do so; he dropped the iron and attempted to escape, but was chased and caught
