electric torches, cigarettes. batteres, etc., was the minimum amount payable. For some reason or other, however, the accused was not present at the third miceting when the money was paid over to the bandits. So Cheung,' said wit ness, was subsequently released.
Evidence of Arrest. Evidenc cof arrest was given by Chinese detective, who said that the defendant and So Cheung were seen in a struggle at Pak Hoi Street on June 5. So Cheung ex- plained the part played by the ac cused in the kidnapping affair, and the detective then placed him under arrest..
Chex Hung Chien, the defendant, who described himself as an actor, said that he made the acquaint ance of a man named Wong Ah Suh in tenshop. Wong offered him an engagement in a certain village in Chinese territory. Wong also got two other men,, So Cheung and Fung Pui, to go into the coun- try. When they were travelling in a train, bandits attacked them and held them prisoners. Continuing, defendant stated that his brother, who was now away from the Colony, paid his ransom and effect-" ed his release. He returned to the Colony and had never been out of Hong Kong since then. Defendant also denied having any dealings with the bandits, or that he took any part in negotiating with the complainant's relatievs...
Mr. Hall, in closing his case, said that there appeared to be some doubt as to the identity of the de- fendant. Further, he thought that although it was a fact that the complainants had been kidnanned, he was inclined to think that Wong Ah Bun had engineered the whole affair, and that the defendant was probably a tool of Wong,
His Worship found the prisoner guilty, and passed sentence of one's year's hard labour..
