Detective Sub-Inspector Gale said that the complainant who is a school girl, together with her sister and two brothers went to go to school at about 7 o'clock every morning.

The schoolgirl reported to her father that defendant had been in the habit of accosting her near Peak Rond, and at the sume time Indecently exposing himself.

The father of the schoolgirl made

Peak report to the Station and as a result a detective was sent there to keep a look out.

On Friday morning the school- girls and their brothers again went to school. The younger girl was walking behind.

Defendant whistled at the girl and accosted her, exposing him self. The girl shouted and the detective, went to the scene and arrested defendant.

He added: "It is of course pos- able that many foreigners in Shanghai, if they could get exi! vians authorising them to travel by rall to Tientsin, could be brought out of China
