GROCER'S SHOP RANSACKED.

CHINESE," BRAVE" SHOT DEAD NEAR

Another rendition case—the second this week was heard in the Police Court, laur Tuesday, before Mr. F. A. Hazelund, when a shoemaker named Lo Shun was charged with the commis | sion of murder and armed robbery at Samchon, ́Chinese territory, on the night of 17th May, 1959 Mr~H. Dennys-of-the Crown Solicitor's office, appeared for the prosecution. The defendant pleaded not guilty and war undefended. In this case, it will be remember- ed, a gang of between twenty and thirty men, including the defendant, it is alleged, forced an entrance into the Tong Fo grocer shop, in the Sún On district, on the night in 'quortion. They terrorized the shopkeeper and bla fokis with their revolvers and; after ill-treating them, ransacked the premises. The alarm was given as the robbers were leaving the premises, when they came into conflict with a number of "braves" who came to the rescue. A agat followed, with the result that one of the soldier were shot dead. The robbers then decamped. The accused was traced to Hongkong and located in Market Street, Hanghom, and strasted.

The case was adjourned, alter evidence was taken.

Evidence was beard in the Police Court; last Wednesday afternoon, by Mr. F. A. Hazeland, in the trial of the man Lo Shúa, who is wanted by the Chinese authorities at Canton for the alleged murder of a "brave" and committing armed robbery in a grocer's shop in Chinese territory, quite close to Samchon; in May fast.

SUPREME COURT BUSINESS DELAYED.

INDIAN WITNESS OBJECTS-TO ́COURT-

INTERPRETER.

Some delay was caused during the hearing of an Indian case in the Supreme Court, last Wednesday, and some minutes elapsed before the business was resumed. An Indian witossa, who was called to the witness stand' to be sware, objected to the Count's interpreter, Mr. Alim Khap.

Some days ago we reported that eleven Japanese, who had been engaged in soaring birds and stuffing the skins on an island in the Marshall group, in the South Pacific, had been landed at Hongkong and handed over to the Japaness Consul by the German Coosal there. The men arrived at Kobs by the Awa-maru on the 30th ultimo. They claim to have been abandoned on an uninhabited inland, whose Rameis chartadas Gaspar Rice, and rescued by the shop. 'the

With three others they arranged to charter a small sailing vessel of 75 tons called the Hora meru belonging to Kawashima Heiji of Tokyo, and extend their operations further afield. Ac cordingly they left Shinagawa Bay on the ressel, accompanied by a Captain Minagdwa Tomokichi, on June 17th last year, and on August 17th arrived at a small island whore pame, they did not know.

Some days after plaintiff and defendant were acquainted the plaintiff said that he was a stall holder in the Central Market. The defendant did not believe the statement, whereupon plaintiff took him to the stall and showed him a photograph of himself. Plaintiff was satisfied, and some days later he lent defendant $300, the WHITE WOMAN IN DIFFICULTY,|| amount asked for, and obtained a receipt. The plaintiff applied for re-payment some time later, but was put off from time to time and he never got the money.
