FISHING JUNK MASTER'S.

AMMUNITION

Cheung Na kepmaster of a fishing junk was charged before Mr. J. R. Wood at the Central Magistracy this morning with the session of eight revolver car ridges and some detonators and

caps.

"I Will Give You All" Mrs. d'Almada Remedios was soon faced by the visitors who calmly told her that. they had come for money, not to be excited, and to hand over the keys and supply information where the money and jewellery were kept. This lady, who was standing in front of a shoe rack, with quick intuition, placed her hands behind her back; and repented "I will give you everything, but don't harm me" at the same time removing two diamond rings which she dropped into the rack.

The house boy, who was doing his work upstairs, had also received the attention of the robbers, he, too, being gagged and bound. Ransacking the place, they came across a firearm. They asked Mrs. d'Almada Remedios "Where is the master's revolver? This is not the one." They repeated the question several times, and only received a nod in reply. Actually there was another revolver, but they failed to secure it. The men completed their work, and left in about half an hour. They were young men, not unlike house boys.

The Loot.A

Answering questions, the man said that he had the things for nearly ten years and had been on that particular junk for five years, On being satisfied that the man had borne a good character, His Worship Imposed a fine of $250. The ammunition was confiscated.
