WHERE HATS ARE LOST.

AN INFECTIOUS LICAINTY.

A

TWELVE VICTIMS IN ONE DAY!

Inspector Cockle this morning charged a Chinese boy before Magis trate Smith with the theft of a black felt hat from a Chinese gentleman, in Bonham Strand West, on Satur day afternoon..

The Inspector said that the oirner of the hat was riding in a ricsha when the defendant ran up from behind and snatched the hat. An Indian watchman employed by a Chinese hong in the vicinity, saw the incident and gave chase.

According to the watchman, the owner of the hat stopped his ricsha and got out, but when witness return- ed to the spot with the defendant in custody the man had already depart- ed.

Inspector Cockle said that an advertisement was inserted in the Chinese newspapers, and twelve Chinese gentlemen, including the manager of the Sincere Co., came to the station to inspect the hat, but no one laid claim to it. It was a 'curious fact that all twelve gentlemen claimed to have lost their hats

the same vicinity on Saturday afternoon.

The defendant said that he did rot snatch the hat. It was blown off by the wind and fell on the road.j As its owner did not trouble to stop to recover it, he merely picked it up, and walked away.

Inspector Cockle proved two previous convictiers for similar offences, and the defendant was sentenced to six weeks' hard labour.
