HIGHWAY ROBBERY, ·
8th inst
The most daring air of highway robbery which has happened for quite a while, was perpetrated this forenoon at the junetina of the Old Hailey and Caine Road, in which a servant girl was the victim. It appears that about eleven o'clock in the forenoon a native girl about fourteen years of age and working with a family at No. 61, Chine Road was sent down to Queen's Road to change into silver coins a fifty dollar note, She was returning home with the money wrapped in a handker chief when a Chinaman sprang out from
behind a tree, gave the girl a smack in the
face, snatched the money, and cleared down the street. Fortunately an Indian detective who was standing some distance away saw the thief. running, and at once gave clase and soon had the delinquent safely in custody.
At the Magistracy this afternoon Wong Yau.. a native of Pok to, was charged before Mr. C A.D. Melbourne with stealing $30 from Ho lai Wa, a servant girl,
The defendant at first denied the charge, but anbsequently plended guilty.
I Worship: Tell him that he is liable to be flogged. I sentence you to six weeks' hard labour, and the money in be returned to the complainant.

His Worship said he did not consider it necessary to hear any more, and Mr., Beavis siected to reserve his defence.
The case was then adjourned until to-morrow afternant, Bail not being forthcoming, the first five defendants' were remanded in police rnst dy; the sixth, against whom there was not much evidence, being allowed ball in the som of Sta.

There would appear to be no end to the stowing away of Japanese at the various parts of their country for the attractive West, and prosecutions are becoming more and more. frequent. Thus, when the as. Thyra arrived" in port this morning, the police flag nying, it was not long before Inspector Langley pro ceeded on board and found that a number of Japanese stowaways had

From Investigations it transpired that some 44 Japan ose 19 being female, and five males, had stowed away at Kuchinutsu, Japan, on the 4th inst and had mana,ed to get away from the ship here. A search was then made and seven- teen of the Japanese women were discovered and arrested. This morning, inspector Langley placed the prisoners before Mr. C. A. D, Mel. bourne, at the Magistracy, when they all plead- ed guilty, though some of them stated that they had paid "ten sovereigns each in some com- pradore" for their passages. They were anch Aned $10 with the alternative of five weeks' hard labour,

As a result of the above case, Emas Hansen, second officer, and Hans Pojus Neilsen, third officer, and four Chinese members of the crew of the .. Thyra were charged by Inspector Langley with niding and abetting the above- mentioned stowaways in their plan to secure passages to Hongkong, by stowing away on board that vessel, and thus avoiding the pay- ment of their fares.
Mr. C. E. H. Beavis, of Measts, Wilkinson and Grist, appeared for the first and second defendants, the others being unrepresented. All the accused pleaded not guilty:

A JAPANESE SHIPPING
COMBINE. ́
It is stated that the Japan Shipowners Association has for some time, past had under contemplation the formation of a shipping combine. The scheme was temporarily dropped during the war in consequence of the ships having been chartered by the Goverment but in view of the majority of the ships having now been released the Association has decided to carry out the scheme. It is also reported that the shipowners in China and the South Seas have signified their intention of participating in the combination, The Asunciation possesses about one hundred and eighty ships with an aggres gate tonnage of some three hundred and fifty. thousand tons, so that the combination is able to command a canital of no less thin twenty million yen. The combine intends to carry on coasting traffic in Japan, China and Coren, an well as foreign services.-Kobe Herald,
