WHO ORDERED DRINKS?

AMERICAN REFUSES TO PAY.

**MADE A BIT OF NOISE."

Aa American named Charles Smith was th:smorning charged before Magistrate Orme, at the instance of Sergeant Shaftain, of No. 2 Police Station, with acting in a noisy and disorderly manner in the station about 11 30 last night.

The defendant: I had no intention

of going there, but somehow I found .. myself inside.

The Magistrate: Many people are

like that,

Sergeant Shaftain said that the defendant was brought to the station by the bar manager of the Hongkong Hotel and charged with refusing to pay for drinks ordered. As there was no ordinance to cover such an offence, said the Sergeant, because the defendant had money on him they could not charge bim. Defendant was ordered to go away, but instead of doing so he used obscene and abusive language. He was warned four times, bet as he continued to be disorderly, he was locked up.

Asked why he refused to pay for. the drinks, the defendant said: 1 was the only guy who was paying for drinks in the Hongkong Hotel last night. I paid for two rounds, and when another one was brought, I thought it was time for the others to pay. Besides being made to pay for the drinks, I was being "touched" -the lend me five dollars" stuff, you know, I found things were getting too hot, so I strolled out. One guy followed me out and invited me to take a risha ride. I did, ard was landed at the station. I admit that once there I made a bit of a noise."

Sergeant Shaftain said that it -might be true that the defendant had paid for two rounds, but he ordered the third, and should” have paid for it.

The Magistrate ordered the de fendant to pay a fine of $5.

Defendant I guess if I receive $5 we will be square. I paid in $10 last night as bail.

The Magistrate: All right, and be sure that you pay for the drinks.
