CRIME IN THE NEW TERRITORIES

At the Criminal Sessions yesterday schtence of eighteen months' hard labour was passed on each of two Chinese who were found guilty of robbery by two or more. The case came before the Puisne Judge and a jury.

Mr H. K. Holmes, Crown Soli- citor, prosecuting, said:---

RAID

ALLEGED KIDNAPPING OF CHILDREN

ARRESTED IN HONG KONG

A somewhat dramatic story of how two children were kidnapped before the eyes of their parents and how they were eventually restored to them following the arrest of a widow and two men in Hong Kong, tracy yesterday. was told at the Kowloon Magis

Two Magistrates, Mr. R. H. But- ters and Mr. E. 1. Wynne-Jones, heard the case.

The defendants were charged with detaining the children and keeping them in custody without the per- mission of their parents.

"The case for the prosecution is that this is one of those cases of concerted robbery in which more thun ono man takes part." The facts are as follows: You Wai is a bean ourd seller and he lives at a village called Pak Shek Kui which je over the hills and about three miles Northward of Tsun Wan in the New Detective Inspector Elston told Territories. On the morning of January 11, the date mentioned in the indictment, he went to Sham shuipo carrying some bean curd to sell. He arrived at Shamshuipb and sold his bean curd for 87.50. He had his breakfast at Shamshui- po and in afternoon he started on his way back to the village. His way back from Shamshuipo would be ni Tsum Wan which is on the way between Shamshuipo and the village that he was going to.

the Magistrate that on August 20 last year a band of robbers raided the village of Char Kong, in Chinese territory on the West River between Canton and Wuchow. During the raid they kidnapped children and adults and carried them off into the hills, including the two children concerned in the case. The children were stolen in sight of their parents who, however, were helpless to assist them.

Nothing was heard of the child- ren again until February 8, when At about 3 o'clock while he was Detective Inspector Rozeaky, act- still, so to speak, on this side of ing on information, raided a flat Taun Wan he stopped at a tea stall at 54.

KOWLOON COURT CASES

SAD CASE OF PICK-POCKET

Looking more like a little street" urchin than a child of healthy and well-to-do parents, a little boy of 10 years of age was charged before Mr. R. H. Buttera at Kowloon Ma gistracy yesterday with picking- pockets in Canton Road.

When arrested the little fellow claimed to be an orphan but on in-") vestigation the police found that his parente owned a medicine shop in Shanghai Street.

When the case was called the mo ther, a well dressed woman appear- ed in Court. She said that the boy was her son and that she had no other children.

somewhat surprised at the contrast The Magistrate who appeared

between the mother and child, re- marked, "His physical omdition compares unfavourably with his mother's. The child looks either very ill or very badly fed." He ordered the police to make investi- gations into the case and remanded the child in police custody for 48 hours.
