The first was that of Jebsen and Co., 19, Des Vonx Road Central, who pleaded not guilty to three charges (1) import ing nine cases of arms into the colony without a licenco from the Captain Superintendent of Police; (2) neglecting to register the place of storage of these arms; and (3) being in unlawful
possession of arms without a licence from the Captain Superintendent of Police.
Mr. H. W. Locker, solicitor, appeared for the defendants, and Mr. F. H. May Captain Superintendent of Police, conducted the proso-
edion.

The first witness called was Mr. Balph Paekha, the Kowloon Godowns, warehouseman who gave evidence regarding the storing of the cases of arms in the godowi after their arrival in the colony some months ago.
Sergeant Watt, exmined by Mr. May, said Mos Jelen and Co. had no licence under the Arms Ordinance. On the 31st of January, by virtue of a search warrant, witness seizo nine cases of arms stored in Rowlson Godovas. He made enquiry at the godowns to learn for whom they were stored, and was informed they avere stored for Mesra. Jebsen and Co., who had paid the storage.
