CRIMINAL SESSIONS:

[BEFORE THE PUISNE JUDGE (HIS HONOUR. MR. JUSTICE JR. WOOD)},

ARMED ROBBERY.

Another story of a robbery by armed

ruffians in the West Point district was told at the Criminal Court, yesterday, when Heung Tsoi, Ip Yuk, To Hung, Chan Sing Chow, and Wong Tsoi were charged with robbery under arms at 213, Queen's. Road West, Hongkong. on November 1st. 1920, of jewellery and clothing to the value of $108. They pleaded not guilty.

The following jury was empanelled :--- Messrs. A. J. M. Rosser Wong Sih Hay.. A. S. Gomes da Silva, E. M. Xavier. G. M. Xavier. V.A. Mason, and John:

owner for the reason that railway freights from the

great industrial centres of the United States to the Atlantic coast are much less than the freights to the Pacific coast. According to the Japanese Press, it will mean that foreign shipping on the Pacific coast will be handicapped as against American shipping to the extent of ten shillings a ron, while on the Atlantic coast the difference would probably not exceed twa shillings. As Japan's shipping trade with Amerien ischiefly with the Pacific const the new law is regarded as a direct blow at her shipping.
