"HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDINGS.

CHINESE LADY ARRESTED FOR BUYING WOOD BELIEVED TO SE STOLEN

The Acting Attorney-General (the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K. C.) prosecuted.

The following jury was empanelled:wood Messrs. W, Anderson. F. Hobbs, E. L. Bingham, C. F. de Carvalho. F. W. Moore, B., M. Castro, and J. S. da Costa. The Attorney-General said the prisoner was charged on three counts, all in respect of a robbery which took place on the night of August 27th., when three of the female inmates of a house were robbed of their property. There was no doubt that

the prisoner was one of the robbers, be cause he was well-known to the inmates of the house, having worked there as a carpenter only about ten days previously. Besides, he showed that he was familiar with the place because, of the 23 houses in the village, the house be robbed was one of the three which had a hole in the

roof. The witnesses would say the prison er was one of the robbers and that be held a revolver at them. Arcther point against the prisoner was that a pawn- ticket was found on him showing that be bad pawned a 3 gold-piece, which one of the women in the house 'claimed as her property. The pawn-broker could not identify the prisoner, but that was not strange becase the prisoner might have sent someone else to pawn the coin. while it had to be remembered that the pawnbroker usually saw so many Chinese in one day that he could not very well be expected to remember all of them. At the "Police-station, when charged with the offence. the "prisoner made a statement to the effect that he had been called to the village to minke money" by another friend

The friend climbed on w the roof and went inside, and he. (prisoner), freling afraid, ran away.

The jury brought in unanimous verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to five years' hard labour and ten strokes with the eat,"
