Douglas Gifford and two Chinese, who were charged "with conspiracy to obtain money by false pretences, and with threaten- ing a Chinese woman living in Canton Road, were convicted on the first count by Mr. T. 8. Whyte Smith at Kowloon Magistracy on Saturday.

The defendants went to the com- plainant's flat in Canton Road and accused her of stealing elec tricity. They said that they were representatives of the "China" Light

Power Company, and Gifford was a taipas of the Com pany. They threatened to prose eute the woman and told her that it would be better for her to give them "squeeze",

The woman refused saying that she would place the matter before the police. All three defendants left hurriedly on the arrival of complainant's sons and the two Chinese were stopped by a con- stable. Gidlord came up and point. ed them out as the offenders. He was made to come to the Police Station, and though sent away by the constable duty, Detective Sergeant Fitches later found that he was involved in the fraud and

had him arrested.
