A Chinese named Li Nam, living at No. 10, Eastern Street, was charged before Mr. W. Schofield at Central Magistracy yesterday with diverting, consuming and using a quantity of "current belonging to the Hong Kong Electric Company.

It would appear from the evidence given by Mr. Lougheld and an electrician of the Company that the defondant was notiñed as far back as April that the wiring in his house was defective and that unless the defect was remedied within fourteen days, the motor would be disconnected. An inspec tion was made on May 5 when it was found that nothing had been -done, Further inspections were made on July 4 and July 27 but nothing had been done to the wiring in the house. On July 29, therefore, the meter was removed..

As a result of certain inforing tion received, Mr. Longfold visited the house on September 14, when he saw ninc electrio globes in the quarters of the Kuomintang when trees should leave one male tree to chased 500 of these fruits intending

A caution was registered in tho case of a Chinese who was arrested on his arrival from Canton by the 3.8. Taishan. Inspector Booker said which was not of a very dangerous that the man had one document nature. The officer added that the accused was illiterate and when unded the pamphlet in Canton ho had been so foolish as to place it, in his pocket.

It was explained by Mr D.
