EVADING FUNERAL

EXPENSES

CHINESE FINED $10 FOR DUMPING A BODY

FOUND OUTSIDE THEATRE

On Saturday the police discover- ed the body of a Chinese male ly ing near the Mongkok Theatre, and at first murder was suspect- ed.

The mystery was solved, at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning however, when before Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith, an earth coolie of the Yuen Sau Matshed, Prince Ed- ward Road, was charged with as- sisting in the removal of the body without a permit from the Regis- trar.

Detective Sergeant Meadows stated that the body was found outside the Mongkok Theatre, and the police suspected murder, as it was bound to a pole with rope. But after removal of the body to the Kowloon Mortuary a post) mortem examination revealed that the victim had died from natural causes.

A Ane of $10, with the alterna- |tive of fourteen days' hard labour

was imposed.

A WALKING STICK

Sidelight on Methods of Arrest

A FARCICAL CASE

The case on Monday in which a Chinese, 12 years of age, was con- i victed and cautioned on a charge of "the unlawful possession of a black walking stick, reasonably suspected of being stolen," was again brought up before Mi. Whyte-Smith at the Kow. loon Magistracy this morning. when some methods of police proces. were mentioned.

His Worship sail that on Monday night he received a telephone message from a school master, Mr. M. G. O'Connor, who said that he had seen in Chinese (a new arrival from Can. ton), dressed in European clothes, actually handing the stick to the boy, and he thought that that may have been the youth who was convicted that morning.

Police Perfectly Right

"We may assume," added the Magis- trate, "that that was the boy who was Arrested." I may say that I think the Police were perfectly right in arresting him. If I had been a Police constable, I would have arrested the boy, because a boy of that class would not have possessed such a stick. What shall be done next?

Detective Sergeant Humphreys said that he had been informed that the lad had gone to Canton, and this morning he had sent for the sister-in-law but she had also gone.

His Worship ordered the record sheet, book entry, and finger prints of the defendant relating to the offence; to be cancelled by the Police, and said he would discharge the defendant, as a conviction so early in the ad's lifo might mar his future carcer.

Mr. Whyte-Smith remarked that the two men might have wanted to give it nway on account of its unusual weight, for they might have considered it as a weapon.

Sergeant Humphreys concurred, and said that he had never known a Bri- ton to be so absurd as to give away to an urchin a good walking atlek.
