CURIOUS STORY OF

ASSAULT

Charges of assaulting Li Cho, a hairdresser employed at the Pepin sula Hotel were preferred against Augusto Frederica Rosario, of 8, Parkes Street, at Kowloon Magis tracy yesterday.

Detective-Sergeant Points told the Court that according to the work in a ricksha on Tuesday morn complainant, she Was going to

ing-and-on-her-way-she-met-the defendant who went up to her and gave her a slap in the face. She got out of the rickshaw, aired the defendant and handed him over to the Police.

Complainant then went into the box and gave evidence bearing out the officer's opening remarks, She added that about three months ago, she saw the defendant who asked her for money. She said she had none but gave him food and after that he came to her house for food three days running. On the third day he asked for a loan of $100 but this was refused. Witness went on to say that one evening, later on she was on her way home when she RAW Rosario near the house. He pushed her into a door and then threw something in her face which she alterwards discovered had been burnt.

She reported the matter to the Pobee but did not see defendant for about two months until Tues- day when the alleged assault took place.

Complainant stated that when she was holding him pending the arrival of the Police after the alleged incident, defendant threw something over a wall, but this was recovered by the Police, It was stated that the packet contained what was believed to be Chinese medicine.

HAPHAZARD WAYS OF

EMPLOYEES

"(By Our Spécial Correspondent)

The Kowloon Motor Bus Company have had a fairly long period in which to prove their efficiency in running the bus service for the whold of Kowloon as well as the New Territories, but without being unduly critical, I fear they have not made a very good job of it. Maybe it is due to the fact that having to cater for such a large number of people has proved to be a harder task than was at first thought.

The public do not seem to realise that catering for the transportation of a place the size of Kowloon is no sinecure, and that there muse necessarily be a lot of details to be, attended to before the service can be anywhere near perfect. To begin have to be maintained, and for the with there are the many routes that smooth-running of the service, the Company would not be going far wrong if they were to employ a few European inspectors. It is an ac knowledged fact that the Chinese inspectora carry out their duties quite well, in so far as examining tickets are concerned. spectors, unfortunately, do not com- mand any respect from drivers or conductors, and where there is a lack of respect for one's superiors, there must necessarily be a lack of discipline.
