His repeated denials of the ownership of 2,000 heroin pill found on his premises availed Chan yesterday Yuet-cheung nothing when he appeared before Mr. W. Schofield, who imposed a Ane of $2,000 or six months hard labour on defendant. ..

Revenue Ofeer W. Ward, testi- fied that he headed a party that raided 56, Queen's Road. West, third floor, on January 25 at 9 am. On entering the premises he found de- tendant asleep in a cubicle. Upon asking him if the cubicle belonged to him, he replied in the affirma- Witness then searched the tive. room and under some clothing in a cupboard he found four Chinese envelopes filled with heroin pills.

"I asked him where the woman then." continued Mr. Ward, and he replied that the woman had gone out. I called in the principal tenant, a woman, and de- fendant shouted something to her and I told him to keep quiet. The woman then said that the cubicle belonged to defendant"

Mr. Ward informed his Worship that. on the previous day. when defendant appeared before Mr. K Keen in the second Court, he had seen an old woman sitting outside and shouted to her to admit owner- ship The woman scemed dement- ed and was "ushered from the Court

Asked if he had any witnesses, defendant replied that the woman bad been scared away and that she was afraid to come to Court. However, she was found sitting outside the Court and was later produced as a witness for the de- fence.

DEFENDANT'S STORY

In the -witness box, defen- dant deposed that he wag 1 travelling salesman on board the a.s. On Lee, which plied between Hong Kong and Kong Moon. He slept on board and had gone to the address in Queen's Road be cause an old woman, Chan Ho, had asked him to deliver a package to the country. He arrived at the address about 8.16 a.m., and the woman was not in.

The Revenue Omcer then came in," He submitted that the testi- mony of the principal tenant was not correct as they had quarreled because he had come in rather late at night on several occasions. He had taken packages for Chan Ho on previous occasions.

The old woman was brought inta Court and she stated that her name was Chan Sam-ho, widow, and had resided at the address in Queen's Road since September inst. She

told his Worship that she had been informed by some of the Inmates of the premises that she was not to go to the police to tes Hify, and that the pills had been ,brought there while she was away.

His Worship: (to defendant)-I must convict you on the evidence I've heard. Your witness did not help you it all. The house in which you were found was obviously a he- rain depot.

Fleas cocoons, it has been ob- served; are extraordinarily sensi- tive to mechanical disturbance of any kind. This is illustrated by a sinaple experiment, for if a cocoon showing dark against the light be lifted gently on to a card which is tapped sharply, the enclosed flea comes out, in most cases, at once. Animals and birds revisiting old haunts are thus liable to catch fleas merely by brushing against resting cocoons. "Some species." the booklet relates, "go even fur ther towards meeting their hosts half-way, In the spring the spe- cles found on the sand-martini leaves the cocoon and congregates in swarms round the entrances of the burrows, where on a ne April morning one may see them waiting for the arrival of visitors.!!
