NO CHANCE

SENT "IN" AGAIN

"Do you realise that during the-pont three years you have been out of jall for only three months?"

This question was put by. Mr. E. W. Hamilton to

15-year-old Chinese

who was charged with attempting to pick the pocket of compatriot in

Wanchai.

Replying to the question the accused said "Yes" and added that he had no chance of going straight. The near- est that he had come of making an honest living was when an Assistant Warder in Victoria Jail took pity on him and bought him a hawker's licence. It war of little ase, however, because he did not have capital to buy goods. Accused added that he had no parents to look after him and often went with- |

out food.

The Magistrate Inquired what he should do with the lad, and Divisional Inspector Macdonald suggested giving! him 12 months in jail, remarking: "It is not a bit of good allowing him to be at large."

The Magistrate passed sentence of six months' hard labour, and on the Inspector's application, ordered the boy to undergo one year's Police surveillance when he came out of Jail.
