The woman threw a towel into the street. In the towel was found an envelope with a letter and 8 notes inside.

Second defendant in answer to the charge said "I will not speak," and first defendant said. "The forged bank notes were not mine but were given to me by some one." The women denied that she threw a towel over the verandah but that she took the towel to wrap up her child because it was cold and that she later gave the towel to a boy of 11 years old, who was in the flat at the time.

Against Interference With Law

What might have turned into more alarming consequences was the scene enacted on the us, Anhui on October 21 when Wong Chi-po assaulted P.C.D. 1, Sung Yun San, and tore his tunle at the shoulder,

was related Mr. E. Himsworth at the Kowloon Magistracy yester- day.

It appears that the constable was on duty at the gangplank on the morning in question at 3.40 a.m. when defendant, with three others, demanded that the iron grill be opened. The grill was not sup posed to be opened until 4 a.m., and the constable refused their request.

The defendant then abused the constable roundly, and attempted to open the grill of his own accord.

A struggle enspied in which the tunic was torn, and the constable was struck in the left side of the

shoulder.

The defendant was arrested on October 26 on board the ship, and. in answer to the charges denied the

accusations, and accused the con-

stable of striking him instead.

Defendant denied, all the allega- tions against him, and reiterated that he had not struck the con- stable on the ship. He said that the' shirt was torn when he was being chased into the engine room.

Defendant had three witnesses to testify for him, and while the first two largely corroborated his earlier statements, one said that the tunic was torn at the grill Instead of at the engine room entrance.

The third witness, however, pro- voked much 'merriment when he admitted that he witnessed the. scuffie on board the ship and that defendant had struck the constaple more than once. Mr. Hinsworth asked the witness for whom he was testifying and the reply was 'that he merely wanted to tell the truth. (Laughter.)

His Worship informed defendant that the evidence WES strongly pointing to his guilt.

Mr. Himsworth then said. "I am going to take a serious view of your offence. You have interfered with the anti-piracy, law, which only means facilitating a future piracy. "However, I am going to give you the option of a fine because of your good character."

His Worship imposed a fine of $30 or six weeks on the first charge, and $3 amends or eight days on the second.
