SCENE AT KOWLOON. TEREE INDIANS CHARGED.

At the Hongkong Magistracy yesterday. before Mr. Wood, three Indians were charged with assaulting an Indian Naval Police Sergt.-Major of the Kowloon Naval Depot,

to stop with the complainant, for he was always finding fault with him. On Monday morning he was given orders, to make a fire by 7 o'clock, and to have some tea ready by 7.15, for several people. He did not have time to do this, and therefore asked for his wages, as he wanted to go away. Then the complain.. ant went into the cook-house, took away all the cooking utensils and some clocks, and refused to pay him his wages, He denied that he used any threats towards his master.

Mr. Wood believed the complainant, and imposed a fine of $10.
