THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1914.

SPECIAL CABLE.

(Special Pasifle Service to the " Telegraph "—Router.) SHANGHAI BANK VENTURE:

HONGKONG ORDINANCES CONDEMNED.

Shanghai. Received July 30, Baron de Macar, the promoter of the British and Belgian Bank, has been sentenced by the Belgian Court to six months' imprisonment for obtaining money under false pretences and six months for abuse of confidence, a fiae of 3,000 francs and deprivation of civil and political rights for ten years,

After reading the judgment in French, Mr. Houyet," Auting Consul General for Belgium, said as the British and Belgian Bank was a Hongkong Company, he thought "Firstly," he said, fit to add some commont in English. "it may seem to hurt the sense of justice that you cannot be prosecuted for conspiracy to defraud, but the Belgian Penal Code cannot be blamed for that,"

The Consul then dwelt on the efficacy of the Belgian commercial law to prevent fraud, of which Macar had ex- perience, as last year he tried both in Shanghai and at Han- kow to start a Belgian Company to take over the Hongkong Company; and he continued: "For these reasons you may bless the Hongkong Ordinances for the fine opportunities they afforded your activities, for the jolly good time they gave you in Shanghai, and for the regrettable escape from responsibility you enjoy now in the matter of conspiracy to defraud."
