There was a further count of offering a bribe of 80 cents to an Indian constable to "give him a chance."

At the Kowloon Magistracy. this morning a summons was heard against the master of a shop in Jaichikok-road, for failing to no- tify the proper authorities of 'a case of small-pox, which a young apprentice of his shop had con tracted.

Mr. A. Frost, Sanitary Inspector, prosecuted.

It was stated that when the shop (No. 317) was first visited by a medical officer, Dr. Yeo, the boy was found to have had small-pox and was, in fact just recovering.
