TO PRISON

FOR ABDUCTING KOW. LOON CHILD

Sentence of twelve months' hard labour was passed by Mr. Butters nt Kowloon, Magistracy yesterday on a young Chinese woman who was found guilty of kidnapping a child from a house in Reclamation | Street.

Vu Po. the mother of the child, said that she had known Yeung Sau Ha, the defendant as a woman from an adjoining village. On July 6. Yeung Sau Ha came to her house and suggested that she should take her boy out. She agreed and asked defendant to bring him back soon. That was the last she saw of her child until she received a letter from the Municipal Police, Kong- moon, saying that he had been found there.

No oil was carried, but there was a "considerable quantity of ship's stores aboard the vessel, stored in the forehold.

A quantity of sulphuric acid is supposed to have leaked on to the wooden boards and thus started a fre in the hold.
