EMREZZLEMENT BY THE

SHROFF.
SHARP SENTENCE "INFLICTED,
Before Mr. T. N. Ainsworth yea terday afternoon at the Kowloon Magistracy, a shroff formerly em ployed at the Kowloon Hospital was charged with embezzlement on five counts.
These were: (1) On January Slab misappropriated $192.49 collected. by him; (3) endorsing a cheque made out in favour of Mr. Deakin; (3) failing to acoquat for $26.67 paid to him by a patient; (4) qu January 24th failing to account for $3.87 turned over to him by a patient who had just been admitted into hospital; and (5) failing to ne- count for $111.20 received by him.
Defendant admitted the Inst charge and admitted having receiv er 84.87 on the fourth charge, but not the whole sum of $8.87. He denied having committed the offences stated in the first three charges.
Mr. T. W. Whyte Smith, assist- ant Crown Solicitor, prosecuted on. behalf of the Crown and intimated. that he proposed not to proceed with the first two charges.
Defendant's Duties.
Outlying the case, Mr. Whyte Smith explained that the defendant was the solo shroff at the Kowloon Hospital, and there was one other man working with him, Mr. An, the clerk of the Hospital, who had no- thing to do with money. Defend ant's duties were to collect money coming from patients and he had to issue, receipts for every payment, and to enter such payments in the counterfoils of the receipt book and then to enter them in the Cash Book before paying the money he collected into the Bank. The money he collected was first put in a safe and whenever there was an appre ciable sum; be was required to transfer the amount into the Bank. Defendant held the key to the safe and also one for a small drawer in- side the safe. The only "other person possessing a similar key to the sale was Dr. Smalley who was in charge of the Kowloon Hos pital.
At about 230 p.m. on January 29th, a ship contractor named Heung Kam, paid the shroff $28.07 in settlement of his account on being discharged from hospital. De- fendant should have given him a receipt, but on the excuse of being very busy at the time, said he would issue one later. No receipt had since been given the ship con tractor.:
On February 4th, defendant was arrested and brought to the "Kow- loon Hospital where in the presence of police officers and a hospital se countant, the safe was opened and no money was found in it. This, said counsel, was embezzlement by
