THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1912.
The people who deal at Kwong Tai, I don't think would go to Wing On.
Perhaps you dont know as much about the Wing On, bas- iness as you do about your own?--- Quite possible.
In answer to further questions witness said that Kwang Tai was was keeping the cases.

A Private Speculation,
Mr. Bowley said this was a case ia which it devolved upon the court to decide which of two in- nocent parties should suffer from the fraud of a third.

THE SNATCHER.
As a lady was walking by Blake Pier, about seven o'clock last night, a Chinese bumped into her and snatched her bag con- taining a silver purse; the value of the articles stolen was $20.
The man tried to get away but was caught by a sergeant.
According to the evidence of the lady, the man when captured said he was hard pressed for money and he had to do it.
When charged the defendant said, "I did ansteh from her bat gave it back." He now altered that statement to," If I did snatch from her I would have given it back."
