Defendant stated that ho had placed the tin full of, rubbish in the street at 9 p.m., and then went off to drink some congee. When he returned at 11pm., he saw that a rag-picker had emptied the rubbish from the tin and was sorting it. As he (witness) had previously lost several tins, he picked it up to take it inside lest the rag-picker might: steal it. Just then the constable came up and accused him of dump- Fing rubbish.

The constable told the Magistrate that he did not see any rag-picker. Defendant was alone by the side of the heap of rubbish when he came up.

Defendant maintained that the 'rag- picker had walked away just before the constable came up, and called a witness to substantiate his story. This man said that he had been to drink congee with the defendant and returned with; him.

The constable was emphatic that he did not see this man with the accused, but Mr. Hamilton decided to give de fendant the benefit of the doubt.
