STEALING CEMETERY

FLOWERS.

COMMON PRACTICE IN HONGKONG.

"

A gardener employed at the Military Hospital, Bowen, Road, was this morning charged before Mr. N. L. Smith with stealing some dowers from the cemetery.

Mr. Green, who prosecuted, said that this sort of thing was becoming very common, and all attempts to stop it had failed, because it was very difficult to detect the culprits. The defendant was the first man to be arrested, and an example ought to be made of him.

The defendant denied the charge and said he could prove that the flowers found in his possession we bought from a flower garden near by.

The Magistrate remanded the case in order to give the defendant

opportunity of calling witnesses.
