STORY OF A DEAL THE FILIPINO CLUB

IN CLOTH

Alleged False Pretences

PROSECUTION FAILS

"Li Kam Tong of 1, Tai Lo Tien, a boarding house in Des Voeux Road, was brought before Mr. Butters at Kowloon Magistracy yesterday on a charge of having unlawfully obtained goods from the Man Ring Knitting Factory by false pretences. It was alleged that he had represented himself as & salesman from the Kam Hing Knitting Factory.

Chan Man Hung, the manager of the Man Hing Factory said that on May 17 defendant came to his shop accompanied by another man, He bought 49 rolls of cloth, valued at 8307. He did not pay for them, saying that he was from the Kam Hing Factory and that he would settle the amount in a few days time. He told witness to send the cloth to the Wan Hing Cloth Shop of Macao. Witness did so. Four days later defendant again came to the shop and asked for 33 mote roils of cloth, worth $220. Witness demanded payment and was given $30 on account, with the remark that if he did not trust him he could take his account to the Kam Hing Factory where it would be chopped.

(From Our Special Görrespondent]

The Filipino Club has figured to prominently in the local field of sport during the past few years that a short history of it should prove interesting. It is not gener- ally known that when it was first inaugurated, the idea was to run it only as a social club.

In December, 1916, a number of Filipino residents in the Colony thought it would be a good thing

In the following year, however, the Government decided to grant the Club a bigger plot and it is on this ground that their small but comfortable pavilion now stands.

Witness thereupon called a constable and the defendant was arrested.

The matter seemed to be solely one of owing money and the transaction was either between the Man Hing Knitting Factory and the Wan Hing Shop in Macao or between the Man Hing Factory and the Wan Hing Shop through the defendant, a
