In charging a woman possession of 108 taels of opium, Revenue Officer W. G. Hum- phreys said that at 6 o'clock yes- terday evening, he went to the first floor of 8, Kee Cheung Street, in West Point district. He had considerable trouble in opening the door, and, whilst do- ing so, the woman was observed to throw large packet out of a rear window. This packet was afterward found to contain a quantity of the drug. A further search revealed that the place was being used as a dealer's dien on a large scale. They found girdles for carrying 'the opium and knives for cutting it.

Replying to his Worship, Mr. Humphreys said that he believed that the husband was really to blame.

His Worship imposed a fine of $3,000 with the alternative of ten months' härd labour.···
