CRIES FROM MOTOR-CAR PASSENGER.

A NOVEL RUSE?

Cries of "Safe Life" by a Chin- tse passenger passing Taikoo Dockyard yesterday evening in a motor car attracted the attentioni of certain police on duty who were unable at the time to stop the car.

On its return from Saiwanho, however, the driver was stopped and two men were found inside. One told the police that he had beer threatened by the other and that violence had been used to- wards him to get him to sign a promissory note for $100 whilst he was in the car.

The sequel was the appearance at the Central Magistracy this morning of the other occupant of the car who was stated to be the manager of a garage. . He was charged with having used force and violence...

The plaintiff admits having bor- rowed money and that he did not aign a promissory note. He had admitted the loan all along, he states, and had paid interest on it. Defendant denied that plain- tiff had paid any interest in acknowledgment of the loan.
