Petrov Affairs: The Story That Had Everything

FROM H. KING WOOD

Sydney, Apr. 23.

All the talk, of course, is of the Petrov Affairs, and it is doubtful if anything has aroused so much public interest since the outbreak of war. Long queues have been buying each edition of the newspapers as they hit the news stands and lapping up every word of the spy thriller served up to them.

And, of course, it is a story that has everything... the dramatic switch of the secret police agent, the the arrival from Moscow of the two burly, sullen couriers the love interest in the woman he left behind .......mob scenes at the airport...the brawl at Darwin... and the slow fade-out as the woman joins her mate.

Given 2 Years For Manslaughter

Sentence of two years' hard labour was meted out by Mr Justice C. W. Reece, Puisne Judge, at the Criminal Sessions this morning on a 21-year- old apprentice fitter, Chin Mau-sing, who pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter on Friday last.

At that hearing. His Lordship had deferred sentence for con- sideration after hearing a plea of mitigation on accused's be- half by Miss B. K. Searle, fa- structed by Mr Francis Wong.

Chip admitted fatally wound- ing a fellow-worker, Pak Hung- chat, with a penknife in a scuffle which took place on February 2 nt 60 Castle Peak Road, Taun Wan, where both of them were employed.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder, but admitted the alternative manslaughter charge. This plea was accepted by Mr D. Ñ. E Rea, Crown Counsel.

"Nobody has greater sympathy than the Court with your family that you leave behind when you go to gaol; but were having a family to support an excuse for crime in Hongkong, no- body would be punished for anything at all," declared the acting Chief Justice, Mr Justice T.
