The complainant was to sell the coal at a commission of five per cent and on the payment of the Sa, 000, the count of the freight, he would be given the bill of lading. Not having the money, a co-partner, Cheng Tilyn, was sent from Canton to Macro, where there was another branch, and ordered a remittance of 810,000 to Hongkong This sum was duly sent and, on December 1, the Taisho Maru, which had brought the coal to the Colony, was awaiting" the payment of the $9,000. A cheque for the sum mentioned was given to the defendant, who, when questioned, said that the Captain had the bill of lading and he would endorse it, authorising the complainant to take delivery of the consignment.

The complainant was taken to the Tang Cheung godowns in Yaumati, where he was shown some coal and introduced in the godown-keeper as The defendant's ngent for the con- signment of coal. When he asked fur the godown warrant he was told that the entire consignment had op yet been delivered.

The parties then proceeded to the Taisho Mara, where the complainant was entertained by the Captain, and the offices were instructed that the complainant would take delivery of the remainder of the consignment of coal; but the following day the complainant's tallyman informed him that he was unable to obtain the oal, as the godown-keepor said that the coal did not. belong to the de- fendant A report was then made to the Police and the defendant arrested.

It was significant, continued Mr. Remedios, that an action was pend ing against the defendant and his wife in the Supreme Court in Ori- ginal Jurisdiction, where a certain Mr. Benton Cola Bird was claiming thia eonsignment of coal.

Mr. Hall raised an objection, say ing that that action was irrelevant to the present criminal preceedings. Mr. Remedios contended that that was proof of the fraud and said that he would probably subp.coena Mr. Bird to give evidenca The case was adjourned. "
