Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith, on Saturday,

at the Kowloon Police Court.

The banishee stated that the first and second returns were on the occasion of hia passing through the Colony to Singapore, but this time he had a proper

excuse.

Divisional-Inspector R. A. Marks remarked to his Worship that the accused was the man who point ed a revolver at Sub-Inspector Vincent and Sergt. Grant when the Caine-road robbery occurred some time ago!

Accused who denied the charge, said that he was a coolie in the Kow-

loon Godowns and that he was walk- ing in Jordan Road when the Police Constable arrested him and accused him of stealing. He went on to say that he had come from Tai Kok Tsui in a 'bus along Nathan Road and at the junction of Jordan Road he got off and walked.

Divisional Inspector Marks point- ed out that the accused neod not have gone to the Godowns, by way of Nathan Road. He could have got a bus at Shamshulpo, and it would have taken him along Canton Road, which was much quicker. He also commented on the peculiar hour that the loiterer was going to work.
