The first defendant was seen by member of the foreign staff to place something under a tray, which on being lifted was found to have been covering a five dollar noto.

On being accused of theft, the defendant alleged that the money was taken by the third defendant. The police then searched the floor and found a number of one dollur notes rolled into small balls.

The boys" coats were search- ed, each employee being requested to state the amount of money in his pockets before the search. The fourth defendant claimed to possess $6, five of which he said belonged to his mother, who gave him a $5 note to change. A role of $4.80 r small coins was found

The others, including the second defendant, all stated that they had less than $1 in their coats.

When asked to pick cut his coat from among those of the other "boys", the second defendant then said that he had $5 which he had been requested to change. He was naked to extract the money from his coat and he deliberately dropped a cigarette packet before taking out a five dollar note from 4 pocket,
