PROSECUTION.

without having a meter Installed on A charge of unlawfuly using gas,

his promises, was brought against a Chinese, of No. 938, Canton Road, before Mr. J. H. B. Nihill, at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning.

Mr. HC Macnamara appeared for the Hongkong Gas Company. and Mr. J. Gordon-Leask' represent ed the defendant.

Before having a date fixed for. the hearing, Mr. Macnamara called formal evidence of the execution of ascach warrant

Sergeant Smith said that at the request of Mr. Blackburn, of the Hongkong Gas Company, he scorched 938 Canton Road»und” found pipes leading from the ae- countant's offico into the kitchen- where he discovered seven large boilers, each of which had a gas jet' underneath. Of these, Aivo were in uso at the time. There was no meter on the premises.

Mr. Macnamara asked that Mr. Blackburn, the manager of the company, be called in order top facilitate his Worship in accessing. the amount of ball.

Mr. Blackburn said that he ex- amined the boilers and the jets." From his experience, each jet would consume 40 cubic feet of

hour, gis per and, using the burners for twelve hours each day, the consumption of gas 'would be from $250 to $300 per month Judging by the state of the jets and. bollers, it appeared that they had been used for a very considerable time...

Mr. Leask made an application for nominal bail, stating that the defendant-was-not-the man named in the warrant and he was doubt- ful whether the defendant was the man who should be in the dock, He had only been in the employ- ment of this shop for two months, . and, according to Mr. Blackburn, this theft had been going on for longer than that.

His Worship pointed out to Mr. L-cask that the search warrant au- thorised the police to arrest any person on the premises irrespective: of whether he was the master or not.

Ball was allowed in the sum of $500 and the case was adjourned
