In connection with the affair, a Chi- pese broker was sentenced to one year's simple imprisonment in the August Criminal Sessions and it was not till lately that defendant was apprehended and subsequently arrested. Mr. H. L. Dannys, jr., (from the Crown Solicitor's office) appeared for the prosecution and Mr. W. E. L. Shenton (of Messrs. Deacon, Looker and Descon) defended. The case was remand- ed.
