Chinese detective said that the defendant was stopped in Shanghai Street carrying the lead in a parcel. The defendant told the de- tective that he was going to self the lead and admitted that his em- picyers were not aware of the fact. Mr. A. J. B. Smith told the Magistrate that the defendant was engaged on work at the Peninsular Hotel. The lead was similar to that which has been used on the job at the Hotel, and it was possible that

the defendant could have taken some of it. A Chinese foreman em- ployed on the job said that he bad instructed the defendant to take THE BIRTH OF A FLOWER: any surplus lead to the Company's office at Kowloon City. Had the defendant not returned the lead he (witness) would have had to answer for it the next day.

The Magistrate remarked that it was an extraordinary case. The points against the defendant were his answer to the constable and the fact that he was walking in the opposite direction to the Company's offices. However, the defendant knew he had to answer for the lead the next day and it was only worth

about 40 cents.

The defendant was discharged. -
