SENTENCE DEFERRED.

Accused pleased not guilty, and the same jurors were sworn in.

The Attorney-General stated that the cree was a very simple one. The prisoner was before the Court on a charge of attempted arson of a h-ourer's shop at Mongkoktani on January 26th.

His Lordship-It is a specific offence. It is not an attempt.

The Attorney-General agreed that it was a specific offence, but stated that the indictment had been framed from Archbald. Proseeding, he informed the jury that it would be proved that tho acensed set fire to certain baskets which were leaning against the shed mentioned. Therefore the case for the prosecution was that he was equally as guilty na if he had set fire to the shed.

His Lordship suggested that the indictment ahould be amended.

The Attorney-General agroed, and on pro goner being again asked to plead he pleaded guilty.

His Lordship-Let me know the inots. The Attorney-General stated that at about two o`slank in the morning the prisoner tried to forea the door of a shed in which adsh-ourer was sleeping. He called to the man to open the door, the man refused, and the prisoner set Areto some baskets which were leaning up against the shop. The accused was soon to strike eleven or twelve matches before being arrested by acoustable who watched him. The owner of the shed then came out and put out the fire. There were a number of previous convictions

against the defendant.

RECEIVING.

Ho Chan was charged with receiving stolen human hair.

Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the same jurors tried the case.

Mr. Alabaster said the prisoner was charged with receiving, well knowing it to have hean previously stolen, 50lb of human hair valued at January 21st, and the prisoner was arrested on 2500 or thereabouts. The hair was stolen on the 27th. He was walking with another man when arrested, and each of them was carrying a bundle of hair. The other man ran away, but when the prisoner was apprehended he said, overlook it." When charged at the police station he said he bought the hair from a street hawker in Upper Lascar Row for $1.10.

The jury, after hearing the evidence, found the prisoner guilty,

His Lordship passed sentence of twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. He then informed the gentlemen of the jury who sat for the day that he would exempt them for todayy sad if possible on Thursday. But they would be required to attend on the latter day.
