ARMS FOUND ON JUNK
Part-Owner Pleads Necessity
Charged with possession of arms and ammunition without a licence. LI Fat, part-owner of a junk, ap- pearing before Mr. E. Himsworth at the Kowloon Court yesterday. pleaded that it was necessary for him to carry arms ng he carried on his trade in a pirate-infested district.
It was stated by the prosecution. that a licence for these arms was applied for a month ago, but the licence had been refused the junk owners. They were given permis- aton, however, to carry the arms and ammunition Into Chinese ter ritory on the condition that these would not be brought back to the Colony.
Since such permission had been granted, the junk had made three visits to the Colony. On the last occasion a police search resulted in discovery of the arms on board. Mr. Himsworth, in imposing fines of $10, suggested that the arms be cached in Chinese territory before the junk entered British waters.
