INCIDENT AT THE SAILORS"- INSTITUTE.

William. Phillips Gillmore, who some time ago was charged with being a slow- away and was committed to the House of Detention, and who, prior to his arrival. in the Colony, was said to bavo beon employed as an aviator mechanie by the Chinese Government at Peking, was charged at the Magistracy, on Saturday morning, before Mr. J. R. Wood, with the theft of two razors and one suit of clothing from the Sailors' Institute; the property of Basil Waliks a Bussian, staying at the Institute

It appears that the complainant and the defendant occupied rooms in the same dormitory of the Institute, and on Friday morning the complainant missed a num

Giving evidence Weliks "said that it. 8.20 p.m. on the Friday he was in the Institute talking to Sub-Inspector. Shaf tain when the defendant came into the room. He was very drunk and was wear- ing witness's clothing. The two razors. were found in one of the pockets of the uit These razors had been taken from the mantel-piece in his room.

Asked if he had any questions to put the defondant (who was still wearing the complainant's suit), said he could not say how to came to be possessed of the suit. He bad lost his own suit, which had cost him $40 about a month ago. He pointed out to his Worship that the suit he was wearing did to fit him at all.

Sub-Inspector Shaftain said that when the defendant was brought into his charge he was under the influence of drink, but he still had his senses. When questioned ne to his actions, the defendant beraga very indignant and said he had not. stolen anything.

The defendant: When he says that I was absolutely drunk, that is correct. When I was brought down to the Statica I was in this "rig-out."

Asked by the Magistrate what he did, the defendant said he was a nechanic and that he had been at the Sailors' In- stitute for two weeks...

The Magistrate Yesterday morning, did you take Mr. Welik's clothes from under his bed --No sir, I did not; I was perfectly sober.

Did you take the two razors from the mantelpiece -No sir..

In the evening you were found wearing that suit of clothes Who did it belong to 1-I did not know" until last night, when I was found wearing these clothes. was then informed that they belonged to Mr. Weliks.

Had you been drinking yesterday?" The defendant replied that he had been drinking with five other men and that they were practically drunk all day.

Have you got clothes of your own l- Oh yes.

The Magistrate (to Inspector Shaftain): It seems rather strange, wearing clothes that did not fit him?

Lospector Shaftain: Yes, your wor- ship, but he had an overceat on as well. The defendant then informed the Magistrate, that when he commenced the day he had 820. He had now only 20 cents. He added that since he had been at the Institute he had been keeping two öther men there: He was not short of

money.

Inspector Shaftain asked permission to püt one question. This was granted and the Inspector suggested that the defend- ant had sold his own suit for $1.70 and that he stole the suit he was wearing for himself.

The defendant denied this and said An indignantly: "I am not hard up. other thing, my suit is a better one than this,"

He then showed to his Worship a paper purported to be a reference as to charac ter from one of his former employers.

The Magistrate decided to adjourn the ense until Tuesday next and instructed tbd Inspector Shaftain to examine prisoner's properly at the Institute. He also asked the defendant to bring to Court on Tuesday one of his friends with whom he spent the Friday

His Worship allowed the defendant bî freedom without hail or restraint of any kind, warping him to make sure that ha turned up at Court on Tuesday."

The defendant promised faithfully to

A gang of armed thiores attempted to, break into the coolie quarters but the noise they made in doing so awake a married woman living on the premises. She immediately blew a police whistle.
