EXCUSE FOR STREET FOOTBALL.

The surprising remark that h thorising him to play football in Chinese produced a certificate au-

the public street, was made by an Indian constable, to Mr. W. Scho- field at the Kowloon Magistracy, this morning, when an electrician, employed by the China. Light and Power Co., was charged with caus- ing an obstruction by indulging in game of football in Temple Street, Hunghom.

The Indian.constable, in explain- ing the circumstances of the case, said that when he spoke to the de- fendant, the latter produced a cer- tificate which he asid gave him permission to play football.

When asked by the Magistrate' if the statement that he tried to bluff the constable were true, the defendant said he showed the In- dian constable his card identify-

as an employee of the China Light and Power Co. He merely told the Police officer ke was employed at the electric com-

pany.

Replying to his Worship the constable said that when defendant produced the card he said some- thing in Chinese, which the Indian took to mean that he was being shown a certifiente.
