Mr. JR. Wood (second police magistrate) granted a re-bearing; to-day of the case in which a coolie was sentenced to, six months hard labour on Monday for taking part in the riot, in which a shop at 145, Queen's Road Central, was looted.

Mr. C. F. Dixon, af Mesura. Hastings and Hastings, appeared for the defence.

Inspector Ritchie, who prosecuted, wave evidence to the effect that he saw defendant, in a crowd, rattling the door of the shop. The crowd was very excited, the inspector admitted, and when he was scan, the people made a dash to get away.

The inspector thought defendant was a ringleader.

The defendant-Leung Sun Tak- fish hawker in the Central Market; said that on Sunday evening he was sent out by his master to pay a bill. On his way back he met a friend named Cheung Chun. While walking along Queen's Road he saw a large crowd and went up to inquire what the trouble was about. He was wearing a pair of wooden clogs at the time When he got into the crowd' be was pushed up against the shop and in order to keep his feet he had to seize hold of the iron bars, He never attended any meetings against Japan. ese goods-ai a matter of fact he did not know the meaning of the word "mealing," neither did he know what the crowd had an sembled for. He called out on several occa sions. but not to incite the crowd; he wa calling bis friend.

Defendant's friend stated that when the inspector made his appearance the crowd moved away. In the mish that followed the defendant was pushed up against the door. He was then arrested. The defendant never tried to get kis band through the iron bars to pull the door down. He was only a spectator, who, unfortunately, got pushed too much to the ftopt. He took no active part in the disturb ance. Witness knew nothing of the Japanese boycott

His Worship was still of opinion that defen dant bad a baud in the riot, and upheld his former decision.
