At the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon, Man Ling was charged with

the theft.

Mr. D. McCallum appeared" "for the defence.

The case was of copsiderable interest in view of the face that the defendant, who stated he went into the room to wake the complainant, and failed to do so, said that he took the money to put it into safe keeping, and further alleged that after being taken into polier custody he was badly thrashed by a Chinese policeman. He further said that it was his lack of knowledge of Hongkong, Jaws that pre- vented him from admitting taking the money, and that knowing that if he was

Having regard to the conditions pre- vailing last year, your Committee con- sidered it fundvisable to hold a Flag Day or Concert on Nelson Day, which was therefore very simply celebrated by the laying of wreaths on the Cenotaph and Wanchai Memorial, in accordance with our usual custom.

Our local branch in Amoy raised £10 4. 10d. in aid of the "Implacable" Fund, which was gratefully acknowledged by Sir. Vincent Baddely.

Our thanks are due to Mr. A. Brearley, for auditing accounts.

The Chairman said that owing to the absence from the Colony of the Hon. Mr. P. H. Holyoak, it has devolved upon him to preside that evening.

Continuing, he said that owing to reasons with which they were well c quainted, it had been impossible to hold a Flag Day on October 1st inat year. He hoped that by next year the present situa tion would have cleared sufficiently to enable them to have a Flag Day.

The Chairman then read letter from Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Freemantle, in Canton and admitted taking it appealing for help for the Nelson Day would be shot, he whs afraid to admit it Fund. He said that old residents in the Colony would remember the Admiral, as in Hongkong.

he was stationed in Hongkong for some time. He trusted that the appeal would receive the careful attention of the in- coming committee, and that it would make as generous a grant as possible in aid of such a worthy cause.

The case for the prosecution had been partly heard at a previous hearing, and concluded yesterday.

The previous evidence showed that defendant took the money to his sister, she in turn handing it over to his brother- in-law.

THRASHED BY POLICE

A friend of the complainant's, who had given evidence at the previous hearing was recalled for cross-examination by Mr. McCallum.
