BALANCE SHEET ISSUE.

Prosecution Withdraw Case.

Yeung King In, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the Yellow Taxicab Co., Ltd, and Cheng Iu, Managing Director of the Company, were yesterday discharged by Mr. Hamilton, be- fore whom they had previously appeared on charges of having issued false balance sheets,

The case first came before Mr. Hamilton on December 18, and there were several remands to en- able the defending solicitor. Mr. M. K. Lo, to go into the case with the prosecuting solicitor, Mr. F. X. D'Almada, senr.

The Arst-named defendant was accused of having intended to deceive the shareholders of the Company, by making, circulating or publishing, or concurring in making, circulating or publishing. a false balance sheet for 1932, and the second-named" with having embezzled a sum of $80 received by him on behalf of the Com- pany.

Mr. D'Almada yesterday morning asked for permission to withdraw the prosecution, because. he said," he thought it was only a matter of the accounts having been badly kept.

Civil Matter..

Mr. Lo remarked that his view on the prosecution was that it was purely a civil, matter, and arose out of certain disputes about the internal management of the Com- pany. As the withdrawal was on the basis that it involved no re- flection on the two accused in question, he asked that as far a the Court was concerned the two accused leave without a stain on their characters. »

Mr. Hamilton said he concurred with that view, and both accused were discharged.

L/Cpl. J. M. Xavier Attention is drawn to the fact that several N.C.O.'s and men have returned rifles to stores in a neg lected condition. It therefore ap- pears necessary to warn members of the Company that they are responsible for the condition of their arms whilst in their care. Rifles should be kept clean and alled and returned to stores at the earliest possible moment use. Failure to do this may result after in the imposition of a payment to cover damage sustained.

Defendant returned at about 4 o'clock and was asked if he had brought the bread. He replied with something which witness did not catch. He then went out to the kitchen and later witness went into the hall where she saw de- fendant with a kniffe.
