LUCKY THIEF.

Escapes Trial After Leap from Verandah.

On May 1, a Chinese named Wong Lim was discovered on the first floor of a house in the Main Street of Aplichau, where he had helped himself to a coat. When the inmates of the house tried to capture him, Wong jump- ed from the verandah and broke his left thigh. He has been in the Government Civil Hospital since then..

Last Friday, Sub-Inspector Baker reported to the Magistrate that Wong was likely to remain in hospital for another month.

Mr. Lindsell remarked that as the offence was not a very serious one, the Inspector might suggest to the 1.G.P., to withdraw the charge.

This morning the Inspector re- ported that the LG.P. had agreed to withdraw the charge, where- upon Mr. Lindsell struck the case from his list.
