A. right half-back got a bad kick on the side of the leg and had to be helped off the field not to return. This handicapped the R. A. considerably as Brown was playing a good game and they had to play with only four men in the forward line.

They gained corner after corner, but failed to gain anything from the kicks., O'Neall here over kicked himself and bad to be taken off

R.A. went a head by fits and starts and then fell back on their defence. The R.W.F. played a more consist ant game and but for the splendid goal keeping of Murphy must have won hands
down.
For the victors the goal keeper was in excel- lent fettle. The backs played well.
For the R. W. F. all the forwards played well but the backs were a bit at fault.
The 38th ought to put in a lot of practice before they again enter the field, as they can hardly expect to have the same luck twice run- ning. They rather lack cohesion both in the front rank and also in the defence. Where they made a mistake in the field, is continually steadying the ball before kicking. If you have plenty of time, well and good, but if you have a man charging you, it is fatal always.

The following gentlemen were sworn in to act as jurysco. W. H. T. Davis, E. X. Remedios, M. M. Dourdin, H. W. Rumcker, R.-E. Humphreys, A Sinclair and F. J. Barros.
The Hon. H. E. Pollock, in opening the case against the prisoner said that he was charged under sis counts, under the forgery ordinance. The proseculion would show that prisoner went to a man named Li Hong, a chop and stamp carver, who had a stall at the bottom of Wing Sing Son die 27th October, and got him, so cut a wooden chop bearing characters representing the firm. at which he had recently been employed. The prisoner. obtained the chop and affixed
to delivery orders purporting, to be issued by the firm. The ovidence would not be clear who really affixed the chap but it would clearly show that prisoner himself went to the Wong Cheung Ki shop on thegth and oth of November and obtained goods and be went again on the 12th and demanded more when the suspicions of the Wong Choung Ki shop were aroused and on making enquiries they found, they had been defrauded. It would be shown that prisoner was formerly servant at. the shop, whose chop he had forged and that he. had taken some of the cloth, fmudulently ab tained, to a tailor at Yau-ma-ti and had the staff made into clothing. The defence would received from a fortune teller and that the be that prisoner was acting under instructions goods were given to this man. But he did not ink the jury would beleive the story that prisoner was only an innocent agent of the fortune teller when they had heard the evidence.
Evidence was the gone into.
The prisoner made a long rabbling state- Madame Sculfortsment. His Lordship in summing up said the case was very simple one the reason why there had to be six different counts was be cause the acts were alleged to have occured on different days. His Lordship gave the law bearing on each count, of the charge and remarked that it must not be thought that the Wong Cheung Ki shop acted in any silly man Cromptonner, as they knew that prisoner had been in the employ of the shop and so had delivered up the goods on the first two days, but On the third they detained him until they had made enquiries and afterwards gave him in charge. The Jury would have to decide whether the paper was a forgery, they had had the evidence of the chop maker that prisoner was the man who got the chop from him. They had also the statement made when. prisoner was first charged at the Police Court in which he says that, it was the fortune teller who told him to get the chop and admits having obtained the goods. The fortune teller was Charged at the Magistracy with prisoner but will be charged.separately at these session as would another, named Tung Chu, who appear-, ed at the Magistracy, with prisoner, the jury would therefore having nothing to do, with these two men but would confine their atten tions to this prisoner. At the Magistracy pri- soner denies having received any goods from the Wong Cheung Kishop, but ad- mits being the man who want there. It was for the Jury to decide whether the prisoner did obtain the goods knowing the delivery orders were forgeries

This match was played on the Causeway ground on Saturday. The match was marred. by an unfortunate accident happening to Gait. lie fell with his arm underneath him and frac tured his fore arm. He will be much missed in the ranks of the Engineers, as he was a most useful centre forward. The arm was set on the field by Mr. Tuohy who packed the unfortunate player off to the hospital Only 15 minutes play each way was played and inspite of the fact of the Engineers being a man shot they had decidedly the best of the game. It was more of practice game than anythingM. else, as the unfortunate accident spoilt the interest in the game, There was no score at time. We are happy to be able to say that no fault is attached to anybody and that the whole thing was a pure accident. We wish to express our sympathy with Mr. Galt and we hope to see him again in the field before the end of ilie season.

The Hon. the Acting Attorney General said the prisoner was charged under the forgery Ordinance of 1865, for assisting to procure goods on the gth and toth November and alteropting to do so on the cath The evidence would show that prisoner was em ployed at the firm at which the last prisoner used to work and that Leong Luk had come to hin and said as he could not write himself Teung Chu write out the delivery ers on which the goods were procured. They did not have any clear evidence who fixed the chop to the delivery orders and what the Jary would have to decide was whether the pri soner knew when he was writing these orders, that they were to be used for a fraudulent The defense, would probably be purpose that he wrote them in good faith and simply as a matter of business.
