DISHONEST CADDIE.

Sergt. Caygell this morning char. ged a Chinese before Mr. R. O. Hutchison with the unlawful posses sion of a golf ball, and a golf blub "The defendant pleaded not guilty." The sergeant said he could not prove the case against the defendant with regard to the ball, and asked that the ball be left out of the question.

His Worship agreed. -

A Chinese detective said he was walking in Reclamation on the 19th inst., when he saw the defendant exhibiting the club head to some Chinese. He asked the defendant where he got it from, and the defen- dant said he picked it up on the golf links. Witness thought the" story very improbable, and arrested the defendant.

Lieut. Cal. Crosse then went into the witness box and identified the club head as his wife's property. He said that when his wife went to the Golf Club on the 19th inst. the club was in her bag. In the even- ing be the same day, he received a telephone message that a Chinese had been arrested with a club head in his possession. Witness then looked into his wife's bag, and found her club head was missing. A stone was in its place in the bag.
