A Chinese was charged before Mr. W. Schofield at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday with miscon ducting himself in public and assaulting a police constable.

A school-boy named Yee Si Su who was sitting next to the driver of the Srst car was thrown against the dash-board of the car, and cut his forehead and under his right eye. He was taken to the Govern- ment Civil Hospital for treatment.

It appears that the Appellate Division had just sentenced three Chinese to 15 yeare' imprisonment on charges of armed kidnapping.. One of the men sentenced had ap pealed against the decision of the Court of First, Instance, when he was ordered to serve 16 years, but his appeal was dismissed.
