TRAFFIC OFFENCE.

C. S. P. OBSTRUCTED BY BARRELS."

Barrels rolling across the road- way at Praya Bast yesterday morning held up traffic and the Cap- tain Superintendent of Police (who was in his car), with the conse- quence that to-day there was heard before Mr. R. E. Lindsell a xum- mon against the Kwong Sang Hong Perfumery Co. for obstruc-

tion.

A representative of the Kwong Sang Hong pleaded that the barrels were sufficiently light to permit of their being rolled along, instead of being carried, which latter process would have entailed the employ- ment of two coolies for each barrel.

His Worship said that the com- pany should have been mindful of the traffic along the roadway, and imposed a fine of $5.

TELEPATHIST'S OFFER.

To Find Hidden Article.

... Rrofessor Maxmillian Lang- uner, the paychologist and tele- pathist, who is to give a de- monstration at the City Hall on Tuesday night, has accept- ed a challenge by the, Hong- Jong Telegraph to demon- strate his powers by discover- ing any article Hidden in the city without he himself being

ДВ given any clue to the whereabouts of the hidden ar- ticle."

Accordingly, an article is, between now and to-morrow evening, to be secreted in the city by a committee of three- gentlemen, comprising a re- presentative of the Telegraph; Mr. D. H. Cameron, of the Standard Oil Company; and Mr. C. D. Melbourne, Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court

The only condition that Pro- fessor Langaner makes is that he must personally meet the three gentlemen who are hid ing the article before he starts out on his hunt, so as to get into telepathic communication" with them. No conversation, however, will be exchanged.

The three gentlemen named will meet the Professor at the offices of the Telegraph at N 4.30 p.m. tomorrow, and the latter will immediately leave in quest of the hidden tele,

The Committee of three have the choice as to whether they will accompany the Pro- fessor or not of his search, but the latter declures that, in any event, he will discover the hidden article,

Mr. Brutton's office when ong Yeung Wai-cheung was, the vendor of the business. The consideration was $3,000, but there were subsidiary arrangements en- tered into. One of the arrange- menta was that the purchaser was to provide an annuity to the ven- dor of his life of $1,200 per Chin- ese year.

There was a further. consideration that the plaintiffs In the notion should have the right and permission to use the, figura- tion of the vendor's father on their medicine labels."

In the particular sale with which they were engaged, the defendants. alleged that they had paid the money of Yeung Wai-cheung, and they, (the plaintiffs) said he had no authority to receive it to the knowledge of the defendants,

In the course of the businesa, the defendants purchased mediciné from the plaintiffs by a cash sale to the value of $664,80, but allöw ing 55% discount, under an agree» ment, the total amount Was 3209.16. In the usual way of business, the goods and bill were delivered, but when the toki asked for payment, a man endorsed the bill. and he was told to come the following day. When he returned the following day, the endorse ment on the bill was crased, and he was told they had entered into a Separate arrangement with Yeung Wai-cheung. who was allowing. them 607 discount and they had paid the money to him, and, ob- tained a receipt for it with h chop. | Yeung Wai-cheung, concluded Mr. D. d'Almada, had no right to do any business on behalf of the firm.

In reply to Mr. "Brooks, witness asserted that he had paid the full amount for the firm and Yeung Wai-cheung never again became a partner."

An accountant in the defendant firm, giving evidence, said when the medicine was delivered, a man endorsed the bill, but witness saw that the price was too high, so he cancelled the endorsement im- mediately and told the foki to take that stuff back. No-one came to take it back, however. The money was paid to Young Wai-cheung at a discount of 60%, and a receipt ob tained. He had dealings with the firm for over ten years. After the death of the father he had always dealt with Young Wai-cheung, and, Partner in the business.
