The woman was seen playing a "three-card" game at the entrance to Kowloon Hospital yesterday afternoon when the Inspector was driving out from the hospital. He arrested her but the others escaped. She was fined $10.

Before Mr. Q. A. A. Macfadyen, two men, Man Lung-po, 32, and Chan Shing, 28, were fined $15 or one months' hard labour and $10 or two weeks, respectively for a similar offence in a lane behind Yaumati Market yesterday. First defendant admitted that he had been charged for the similar offence not less than twice previously. The table money, $4.60, was donated to the Poor Box.

A "Pai-kau" case was heard by Mr. Macfadyen, who imposed a fine of $20 on the keeper and $1.50 on each of ten gamblers.

One gambler was unable to pay his fine and Mr. Macfadyen suggested that the rest of the gambler should each subscribe ten cents to pay the fine. All agreed.
