Francis Bernard William Edward Pratt Sergeant of the Hong Kong Singapore Brigade. Royal Artillery, was yesterday afternoon found guilty on five charges of delaying the delivery of postal packets at Gan Tree Hill Barracks, when he came be- fore Mr. Wynne-Jones at the Kowloon Magistracy for judgment. the trial having taken four months.

Sergeant Pratt who was Senior Clerk to the H.E.S.R.A., was sentenced to three months' imprisonment on "A" charge, three months' imprisonment on "B" charge to run concurrently, one month on "C" charge to run concurrently, one month on "D" charge to run concurrently and three months' imprison- ment on "E" charge to run consecutively-altogether 6 months, imprisonment.

Mr. D. L. Strellett appeared on behalf of the accused, while Mr. J. A. Fraser, the Assistant Attorney General appeared for the prosecution.

It is one of the amazing coin- cidences, so called, of this case that a new system of Aling adopt- ed by the defendant in that parti- cular year,

and that this vital correspondence was, under his in- structions, placed in fle of 165/32 rather than in general discharge file 5431 where the rest of Santa Singh's and Nika Singh's discharge papers are to be found. It is also worthy of note that File 165/32 is not a large file.

It con- tairs but three names Santa Singa. Nika Singh and Sultaz Mahmoud and here again, as a peculiar coincidence, so called, we must note that' Sultan Mahmoud's letter was apparently at one time the subject of inquiry.
