HONGKONG MAGISTRACY. CAT AND BAG.
When charged with the theft of a cat En Wanchai Road a Chinese said that ho was walking along the road when he found a bag. He picked the bag up, and continued walking. Soon afterwards be haw a cat, and decided that it would be quite a good thing to pick the cat up and place it in the bag, which he did. This train of thought, and action, cost him $10.
"SQUEEZE PIDGIN." Inspector Terrett, of the Weights and Measures department, prosecuted several Chinese stallholders at the market for baving inaccurate scales. The Inspector Baid his experience had been that most of the stallholders kept two pairs of scales-one good and one bad. The good scales were used when the Inspector was in the market. He often found bad scales on the first two or three stalls, but all the rest were invariably good, the bad scales having been hidden upon his appearance.
RICSHA COOLIE'S
DISCRIMINATION.
Sergt. Major Brand, A.O.C., summon- ed a ricsha coolie for refusing to convey him from Happy Valley. Complainant said he asked defendant to take him, but be refused, and, pointing over to the Golf Club, said "No can." Complain- ant did not bother, but turned to get another richa. Just then three civilians came out of the Chib house and defendant Defendant rushed over for a fare.
was then taken to the Police Station. Complainant added that he brought the matter because soldiers had great. difficulty in getting ricshas down at Happy Valley. The ricsha coolies always seemed to prefer to take civilians.
A fine of $3 was imposed by Mr. Melbourne.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY." P.S. Wills of Youmati had a somewhat unusual story to relate to Mr. Wood in a case in which a Chinese was charged with misappropriating $165, the monies
the
of his master, and two Chinese were -charged with conspiracy in the offence. The Sergeant described how first defendant entered Yaumati Police Station in a very excited state and said that he had been knocked down and robbed in the road leading to Kow loon City, by two men armed with knives. Detectives were immediately sent -out, ronds were blocked, and launches were senrched, but no trace of any men could be found. Sergeant Will even- tually thought of searching the first defendant, and in the toe of one his boots he found concealed a $100 bill, He was being taken to the soone of the alleged robbery, but strongly objected, and at last said there had not been a. robbery. The other two men were found at separate houses in Wing Lok Street, and the balance of the money was found on them.
Judgment was reserved,
PEPPER AND GLASS.
Mr. Melbourne dealt with a bad case. of assault, of the pepper and glass variety, in which two Chinese were con- cerned. Mr. Leo d'Almada prosecuted.
Complainant said he was walking in Pottinger Street when defendant ran down towards him and threw a quantity of pepper and glass powder into his face. Luckily, he was wearing spectacles at the time.
Defendant's excuse was that he had worked for complainant at #19 a month. He had been paid a portion of the money, and asked complainant for the rest, but he would not give it to him."
Inspector Brown said that when com- plainant arrived at the police station his eyes were very much inflamed, and
