Three Chinese responsible for an armed robbery at the Nam Shing Goldsmiths of 184 Queen's Road Central last October when over. $40,000 worth of jewellery was stolen were given seven years and a severe talking to by Mr Justice Reece in the Supreme Court this morning.

The Judge told the accused, Chan Hung, alias Leung Yat, Pak Man, and Li Shum, alias Li Kan-yee, "It is cer- tain that one of you used a firearm to assist you in the perpetration of this robbery. It is impossible to take a lenient view in spite of your pleas for leniency which ́ you made when addressing the Jury. The offenec is all too prevalent, and unfortunately the use of firearms in the perpetration of these offences is all too prevalent and all too fraught, more often than not, with injuries to persons who attempt to resist you.

"You urge in your defences that it is the stress of economie circumstances

which compelled INDIGNANT
