The managers of five factories in were summoned before Mr. Butters at the Kowloon Magis tracy yesterday for allowing women to work in their factories after the regulation hours. All pleaded guil- ty and were each fined $50.

Damage to the extent of ap proximately $40 was done when fire broke out in the back-yard of No. 628 Shanghai Street, ground floor, at about 8.30 p.m. yesterday Three fire appliances turned out in response to the alarm, but it was only necessary to use buckets to put out the blaze.

For failing to report a change of her address a wonian named Wong Ming-yeung, of No. 504 Nathan Bond, who had two registered muf tsais, was fined $16 by Mr. Butters at the Kowloon Magistracy yester day.
