This morning at the. Magistracy, Maurice Cummins, a distressed Urtsh seaman who had been sent away from Shangbai, was convicted for being drunk and incapable in Des Viax Road. Tospector Robertson said that the acı cused was found lying a: ross the tram way rails.. There was a chance bow of his getting away from Hongkong. The Magistrate said he thought a week in gaol would do him good a'd he passid sentence accordingly, the alternative being a $.3 fire.

From Fulce information, it appears that Cummins, who is somewhat of a comic siger and deacor, was in the habit ti golug into Chiness shops and; forming a "break-down" In true music-ball fashion until the shop po plc gave him money to go away.
