ARMS AND AMMUNITION STOLEN FROM ARMOURY

Shanghai, May 13.

▲ furore was caused in the Nan- tao District Court yesterday when it became known that the Court's

armoury keeping confiscated pro- perty had been broken into and a box of nineteen pistols together with 85 rounds of ammunition and

radio receiving set were stolen, Fearing that the weapons may get into the hands of unlawful ele- ments, the authorities have issued a circular notice to the police con- taining the serial numbers of the pistols. According to another re- port, 22 pistols were said to have been stolen.

The armoury, situated next to the No. 13 Courtroom, faces a passage leading to a dormitory. The larceny was reported in the early hours of Monday morning, when the locks of the dormitory and the armoury were destroyed with the aid of an electric torch. All the doors were reported to have been securely locked shortly after.

Under Instructions of the Pre- sident of the Court, an inquiry was made. by the Procurator, and the Chinese Police. It was reported that an officer in charge of the Confiscated Property Room, one court clerk and one watchman enough to pursue and catch were required to furnish security beggar boy sku'king down an pending the conclusion of the in- alleyway.

One day, bow- ever, they will probably be caught napping by the constables of a second wagon, following the first at a few minutes' distance away. although they would most likely protest against that as being most unfair, and hardly unfair, (North- China Dally News).
