There will be produced before you a number of other things but what you are to decide upon relates to one mould. All the other thinga will be dropped by the Crown in order that you may have a fuller knowledge of the circumstances which attend the finding of that mould.

On November 29 last, the accused way in the custody of the police. and on his person were found two keys, one of which was a Yale key. In consequence of a statement which the accused made to Inspec tor Dorling the accused was accom panied to Sai Ying Choi Street and there, with the larger of the two keys, he opened the outer door of the flat on the third floor.

KOWLOON NOISES

BUILDING CONTRACTORS

FINED

For allowing their workmen to carry on building operations. at 100 p.m., the Tang Lee firm of contractors, who have been causing

great deal of annoyance to the locality near the Kowloon Obser- vatory, was fined 893 by Mr. But-: ters yesterday.........

The firm were building a block of flats at the junction of Austin Road and Nathan Road and com- plaints were made to the Police au- thorities by the Royal Observatory.

Prisoner's Admission.

His Lordship: There was no acid found 7

Mr. Fraser went on to say: Cer tain of these articles were shown to the accused and you will hear that he said one or two of the things were his in particular, when the pieces of white metal were found, these were shown to him and he was asked, are these yours 1" and he replied. "yes, it is mine. It is to make the legs of

Charged at the Police Station, the accused stated he wanted the arti cles "for making toys with." He those things." 'did''not' want.

That was ambiguous. It may refer to the articles without the moulds, or with the moulds.

There is no evidence against this. max to convict him and I find that this thing is not a mould. It is only a piece of plaster of Paris, which is not adapted to the making of coins of any kind. I direct there is no evidence before you and this man is to be discharged. The ro sponsibility is entirely mine.
