Mr. G. E. Lowe appeared for the defence, while Sergt. Nolan prosecuted.

The facts of the case were that the complainant boarded the bus on August 18, which was travell- ing from Kowloon City to Sham Shui Po.. At the next bus stop, defendant boarded the bus, and while it was passing the Balley ship yard defendant alighted from the vehicle.

Complainant at that time, felt her pocket and discovered that the one dollar was missing and that her packet had been cut, so she lost no time in getting off the bus. whereupon she accused the de- fendant with the theft of her money.

After evidence had been taken from a number of witnesses, and defendant had stated his side of the story, the Magistrate discharg- ed him on the grounds of insuff cient evidence.
