ALLEGED SEDITIOUS: ARTICLE,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH, 1913.

Before Mr. J. R. Wood at the Magie tracy yesterday afternoon, a Chinesa named Chan Choung Shan, alleged by the prosecution to be the manager of the | Shat Po, & vernacular newspaper, was charged with publishing in that organ certain matter calculated to incite tumult or disorder and incite persoas to crime in China,

The Crown Solicitor (Mr. P. M. Hodg- son) prosecuted, and Mr. F. X. d'Alroada appeared for the defendant,

Mr. Hodgson, in answer to his Wor- ship, said he would prefer the case to be dealt with summarily, and not be sent to the Criminal Sessions.

Mr. d'Almada nid he would sooner that the case be committed. He did not know whether his Worship had power to commit, as the Ordinance was silent on that point.

His Worship intimated that he bad looked up the point, and thought he had power.

The Crown Solicitor, in opening the ease, said the charges were laid under Ho Ordinance 15 of 1907, Section 2 would put before his Worship a copy of the Shat Po, dated the 14th August of this year, containing matter calculated, as he should submit, to incite tumuit or divorder in China and to incite per- sons to crime in China." He would also put in a certified translation of that article, and he would call evidence to prove that the defendant was the manager of the paper.

Пle would also put Mr. Hallifax in the box, to give his opinion upon the article, and he would state that the article was such as would come within the meaning of the terms of the Ordin anco. Mr. Hodgson then called the translator.

་

Lo Kam Chak, a translator in the de- partment for Chinese Affairs, deposed that he translated the article in the Shat Po into English. He produced the translation.

The Crown Solicitor said the article. apparently set out five reasons why the Army for the extermination of Yuan Mr. Shih-kai was sure to conquer." Hodgson then read the translation, as follows:-
