THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE. 18TH JUNE. 1879.

SUPREME COURT,

Hongkong, 16th June, 1879.

Summary of cases tried at the Supreme Court

at the Criminal Sessions held in May, 1879.

1. Wong A-sing, of San-on, aged 26 years, coolie, was found guilty of stealing a jacket and an umbrella from the room of Shin-t'ong, shroff to the China Fire Insurance Co. As there were five previous convictions proved against this prisoner, he was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.

2. Léung A-p'úi, of Canton, aged 25 years, `hawker, pleaded guilty to stealing from Li A- kam a foot rule and a pencil. As there were

two previous convictions proved against this pri- soner, he was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment with hard labour.

3. C'han A-i, of Shun-tak, widow, aged 65 years, pleaded guilty to unlawfully detaining a woman named Léung A-yung and sending her out of the Colony for the purposes of prostitu- tion. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.

4. Sò A-siu and Ch'an A-i were found guilty of detaining a boy under the age of 13 years with intent to sell the said child and deprive the mo- ther of its possession. The prisoners took the child to a druggist at Yau-má-tí and sold him for $28. It apperred on the trial, however, that the prisoners had been employed by another wo- man to sell the child and that they only received a small brokerage on the amount from her. The Jury recommended the prisoners to mercy, as they were not the principal actors in the matter, and they were each sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour.

5. Lung Chung-fuk, of San-úi, 25 years old, shoemaker, pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of broken silver to the value of 30 cents on board the steam ship Ichang, on the 4th May.

As

there were two previous convictions against this prisoner, he was sentenced to two years' imprison- ment with hard labour..

6. Ch'an A-sing, of Tung-kún, 22 years of age, coolie, was found guilty of stealing from the per- son of one Chang Kan-lán the sum of $100.

As this was this prisoner's first known offence, he was only sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour.
