LOCAL WEDDING.

Mr. H. L. Dennys-Miss S. M. Clarke.

A wedding of considerable interest to residents took place | at St. Juhn's Cathedral this afternoon, Mr. Heary Lardner Dennys, a prominent member of the local legal fraternity, and Miss Sybil Mary Clarke, younger daughter of Capt. W. E. Clatke, late Secretary of the Steamboat L'ompany, being the contracting parties. An interesting feature of the wedding was that the two bridesmaids and the two pages are respective twins.

THE STRIKE,

(Continued From Page 1) Two Intimidation Cases. "It is quite clear from the evidence that the two coolies were stopped and prevented from continuing the transportation of the goods in the truck. I am Įsatiañed that it was a Dass of deliberate interfering with the transportation of the stuff or İproduce and the use of threats in jonlar to attain their object. It is a serious CASS that this Court has to deal with. I shall fine each of you $100 or four, weeks and, in addi- tion, three months' hard labour,”

Mr. R. E. Lindsell thus geve This decision in a casa in which two man were today charged with intimidating some transport coolies and using abusive lan- guage. A plea of not guilty had baan entered. Evidence had been given to the effect that the coolies were yesterday returning to their shop at No. 1 Bonham Strand West with a fruckload of Įmedicinal produca when they were stopped near the Saikong wharf by the two defendants and number of others, and

a

ordered to discard the truck and | take the goods back on their shoulders. The principal Chinesa detective, Hau Hang, who, with another plain clothes man made the arrest, de- posed to having heard one of the defendants thresten one of the coolies with dire consequen. ces if he did not obey their order.

It proved to be a hard task for the Captain Superintendent of Police (who personally conducted the case) and the Magistrate to induce the witnesses to state their reason for obeying the order givan by the defendants. Apparently fearing subsequent violence at the hands of the strikers, they gave their evidence with great raserve, denied that they were frightened into obeying the order of the defendants, and maintained that they unloaded the truck because they were told to do so.

"If they told you to jump into the barbour would you do so?" asked the Magistrate of one

of the witnesses.

I would certainly not," replied

witness.

"Then why should you go out of your way to carry the goods on poles when you could with transport them in the truck?""They refused to hire the truck to us,"

ease

Was the truck theirs?" I am not certain, as I was not the person who hired the truck."

Furtherquestions, as in the case of the foregoing, were without result, and it was left to the Courti to surmise the reason.

One of the defendants put in a statement to the effect that he' only spoke to the defendants, without using intimidating words.
