ROUND THE COURTS. MOTOR COLLISION

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST POLICE CONSTABLE.

Four Chinese men and a wOMAN were charged before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at Kowloon Magis tracy yesterday for possession of 8.5 mace of opium and false opiura labels at a flat in Pei Ho Street. It was stated by Revenue Officer Brown that it was suspected that the police officer who had given the information to the Department, had himself.planted" the false ! labels in the woman's flat. The police officer would be dealt with departmentally, This

was

the

second time that a Chinese, police officer had been suspected of having planted labels on people, whom be had a grudge against, and it was believed that it was the same man on both occasions.

AT THE BEACON.

CHINESE OWNER SUES AN

INDIAN.

A question about the rule of the road at the trafic beacon in Pedder Street, arose in a claim which was bronght at the Summary Court yesterday as a sequel to a collision between two motor Cars at 1.20 a.m. on December 12.

Kan Hang, of 34, Bowrington Canal Road. owner and driver of public ear No. 257 sued Partap Singh, of 3, Gresson Street, who is the owner of public motor car No. 233, for $201.40 representing garage repairs and the loss of use of his car. Plaintif alleged regligence on the part of the defendant's

driver.

.י

Defendant denied negligence on the part of his driver, and alleged that the plaintiff was responsible for the collision.

He counter-

On application of Mr. Brown, the charge of having false labels, was withdrawn. and the woman waa elnimed for $70.10 to cover the fined $40 or three weeks' hard damage to his car and losses. labour in respect of the opium. The other defendants Were dis charged.

SPEEDY LORRIES.

Two lorry drivers were fined by Mr. Whyte Smith for speeding. The first defendant was alleged to have travelled at 20 m.p.h.. along Shanghai Street through a crowded thoroughfare. The driver was fined $30.

In the other case the defendant was stated to have travelled at 25 p.h. along Waterloo Road. He was fined $23.

STREET FOOTBALL.

That the taxi stand near the vicinity of the Star Ferry Wharf

at Kowloon was used as a football ground by "certain men who annoy ed people, was the statement made by Sergeant Humphreys when a Chinese was summoned for playing football in that area.

Sergehat Humphreys further told Mr. Whyte Smith, that the Indian constable on duty at the Star Ferry

had plenty to do in controlling traffe without having to arrest people for playing football.

The defendant, a messenger of the Kowloon Godowas, was cautioned and another maa, who failed to make an appearance when called, had his bail estreated.

The Magistrate observed that the viciuity was a ridiculous one for playing football.

AT CENTRAL MAGISTRACY.

THEFT FROM GARAGE.

Mr. F. C. E. Rendall appeared for the plaintif and Mr. A. Arculli for the defendant.

Mr. Rendall said that the plain- tiff was proceeding in a westerly

"I hear that same story from many other young men who Arc brought before me," went on the judge, and I believe it to be true.

BANISHEE SENTENCED.

On the ground that he could not find work in Swatow or Canton, a. banishee sought to explain bis presence in Hong Kong to the Magistrate. He was banished, ac cording to the Police recorda on March 21, 1927. The Magistrate sent him to prison for twelve months.

FORGETFUL FOKI.

A shop foki who was entrusted overnight with 8150 to pay to the compradore of the .. Kinshan, failed to do so. On being question- ed next morning, he denied that he had received the money.

The Police were called in and the money was found on the foki's per- son and accordingly a charge of theft of 8150 was preferred against the man at Central Magistracy yesterday.

The accused claimed that he was sleepy when the money was handed to him and had clean forgotten the matter. He had no recollection whatever of receiving the money from his master. The latter, in giving evidence pleaded for his Joki, pointed out that there was a possible mistake.

His Worship discharged the de- fendant, who by the way, alleged Jahat abro the Police came into the case, they assaulted him. Delen- dant on being asked who actually struck him, pointed to a Chinese constable.
