Overland China Mail.
A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
As a sequel to an outbreak of fire which occurred at a kiddies party at the residence of Mr. Langston, 287, The Peak, on December 23, during a cinematograph display, Mr. H. Landolt, manager of the Pathe Orient, Ltd., Des Voeux Boat Central, was summoned before the First Magis trate (Mr. W. Schofield) on January 6, on seven counts of alleged failure to comply with the Fire Brigade's regula. tions governing the storing, distribution, and control of cinematograph and celluloid films. The prosecution's case was that there were definitely members of the general public present, and the room was not fit for the purpose for which it was used. Mr. H. L. Dennys, for the defence, in asking the Magistrate to impose a nominal penalty, referred to the summonses as "malice." "A full report of the case is furnished in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
On New Year's Eve, a fracas occurred on board the s.s. Pentyne, and as a result, William Wishart, a seaman, was changed before the Kowloon Magistrate on January 6 with inflicting grievous bodily harm to William Davidson with a razor. It was revealed that Davidson was serionaly hurt,. although none of the wounds would be permanent: The complainant, who was in a very weak condition, gave evid- ence, to the effect that he remembered quarrelling with Wishart, knocking him down, and seeing him get up and walk to a locker. Witness remembered nothing more. until he found himself on the bridge, all cut and bleeding pro fusely. Both were intoxicated at the time of the affair. Taking into consideration defendant's good character, and.. efficiency as a seaman, the Magistrate passed sentence of one month's hard labour on January 7. The case is fully chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
A gross profit of over $800,000 was revealed at the thirteenth ordinary yearly meeting of the China Light and Power Company (1918), Ltd., held on December 31 under the chairmanship of Mr. R. G. Shewan. In the course of his speech, the Chairman said they were now actually sup plying electricity to consumers in the Taon Wan and Talpo Market areas, and were only walling for the completion of the low tension distribution lines at Shatin, Talpo, Sheung Shul, and Fanling.
