For Treason"

Barnett at the Kowloon Magistracy"yesterday in delivering judgment in the case, in which Cheung Chi-wan was charged with demanding money with menaces. His Worship imposed a fine of $250 or six months' 'Imprisonment. The prison term is to date- from December 17, when the first adjournment of the case was made.

UNNECESSARY DELAY Addressing the Court. His Honour sald:

"Every man is innocent until he is pronounced guilty, and if this man is acquitted to-day I think it will be very difcult for anyone to justify the delay in the pre- sentation of the case against him.

It is a grevious thing, indeed, that people should be kept waiting for trial unnecessarily. The pre- sent case is, short and the delay is as bad as it could be. I regard this matter with the utmost im portance There should be no de- lay bringing a person to trial.

NO REASON GIVEN "The Ordinance." His Lordship emphasized, "provides that unless Enses are committed by the 10th of the month, they will not come up for triar at that month's Sesalons. It therefore imposes those responsible the duty of see- ing that all cases are dispensed with without delay.
