THE BRIBERY SYSTEM

A system of obtaining bribes from hawkers alleged to have been adopted by some members of the police force was revealed to Mr. Macfadyen at Central Mag stracy yesterday when Gall Meer, Indian Police Constable. No. B16. was charged with obtaining a

bribe of forty cents from Yun Chi, a Ucensed hawker, in Sal Street;

on the afternoon of August 13,

According to Mr, L. H. Calthrop, ASP., prosecuting the accused was seen taking the money from the hawker by Inspector K. W. Andrew of the S.C.A.. who had oc- casion that day to go to No. 12 Sul Street. second floor in the course of his duties. Inspector Andrew entered the floor by the back door so that no one in Sai Street saw him. After having, got into the floor. Inspector Andrew, by chance, looked down to the street from the verandah, and saw about ten hawkers selling veget- ables and obstructing the street up to the function of Lower Lascar Row. He saw accused standing near the end of the street, at the junction of Lower Lascar Row and approaching a hawker and after a few minutes of conversa cion Jaw him accepting same money from the hawker. He could not see what the money was made up of. On seeing this Inspector Andrew immediately instructed a Chinese district watchman who

They said they had done this for some time as they were afraid of being arrested. Of these hawkers, four had licenses.

While the accused engaged the Hong Kong, August 21. woman in conversation, in the verandah, his accomplice came up front pehind and struck her. The woman would state that she faint- ed and when she came to, she gave the alarm which brought, amongst others, a policeman on the scene. From a statement made by the accused to the Police, the motive for the attack would appear to be the fact that the men went to the house to rob. While the accused held the woman in conversation. his accomplice was to be at work in the cubicle. Something, sald Mr. Fraser, must have disturbed them, hence the attack.

trict.

"

It semed it had been the habit of employing a collector to obtain the bribes from the hawkers in- stead of going round one by one and collect the money. Through this system all that he had to do was to approach the collector who had in the meantime got the money from all the hawkers in the vicinity and thus it reduced the danger of being seen,

After Inspector Andrew had given evidence in support of Mr. Calthrop's statement, Yun Chi, the hawker, told the court that on the day in question he was hawking vegetables at the junction of Lower Lascar Road and Sal Street when he saw accused approaching. He attempted to run away but ac- cused told him it was not neces- sary if he had some "kalli”.

Mr. Calthrop explained to his Worship that "kalli" was a slang used by Indian constables for **hribe."

After evidence had been given for the Crown in support of Mr. Fraser's opening, the hearing was adjourned.
