TRAFFIC IN A GIRL? CASE HEARD AT KOWLOON. MAGISTRACY...

COST OF A FUNERAL,

E

The case in which three Chinese, Chan Po Tai, Al Sio (a. woman) and Inu Hee, were charged in coa ndetion with the sale of a 19 year old girl, came up for hearing at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday.

Mr. H. R. Butters appeared for the prosecution, sad the first and third defendants were represented by Mr. A R. Covey and Mr. C. E. L. Grist respectively..

The case for the prosecution was that on the morning of December 19, 1929, Lee Lai Tim (aged 12) left the house of her sister at 884 Canton Road for the market. The girl did not return, and after mak ing unsuccessful enquiries at houses of relatives and, friends, the sister reported the matter to the Police the next day. Nothing developed until March 29, when, on informa- tion received by a man named Lee Sing, the sister reported further to the Policy, who had the three de- fundants arrested. It was alleged that on the sale of the girl, the first defendant received $140 from second defendant, who, in tura, handed the girl to the third defen- dant for a sum of $175,

Lee Sau Kiu, sister of the missing girl in the witness box told Mr. Corey that she did not know the first defendant..

Mr. Covey informed the Magis: trate that he had bad, a surprise sprang upon him. His instruc tions were that witness herself had brought the girl to the first defen- dant and asked if he would buy her. The first defendant had then replied that he was not interested but he knew a friend who was prc. pared to receive a child for adop tion. Mr. Covey said that, in the circumstances, he hoped the Maxis- trate would allow him the right of cross-examining the witnesses at a later stage.

Lee Sing, giving evidence, said that he was present when the girl was brought to his house at 10 Saikung Road by the first defen dant to be sold. The first deien- dant said that the girl was to be sold in order to obtain money to liquidate funeral expenses and other debts incurred through the death of her mother. Witness ad- vised his mother not to buy. Some rime later, a photograph of the girl was shown him by the first wit- ness, and he at once recognised the He told the sister everything he knew.
