MAN'S SECOND OFFENCE IN KOWLOON.

A Chinese, who was arrested and

sentenced to three weeks hard larbour in April last for causing daninge to fittings in. Lycemun Villas which were then being de molished, was again before Mr. T 3. Whyte Smith, at the Kowloon Maglatracy this morning, when a

charge of a similar nature WOR brought against him..

Detective Sergeant Humphreys charged the defendant with sever- ing a quantity of lead-covered elec trie wire, the fixtures of a dwelling house, at the junction of Peking and Nathan Roads, with intent to steal

the same.

The defendant pleaded guilty. According to the police officer, the defendant committed the damage in a block of flats which is under construction at Victoria View. The defendant was arrested, by a dis- triet watchman, carrying the wire. He and I had been given to him by a man, but later admitted that there was no second person.

The damage crised to the pre- mises was $50, although the value] of the fitting was only $6.

Asked if they were working for the Government, the defendants said that they were employed by the Sang Lee contractors.

Mr. Howe Intimated that he did not think that the defendants were employed by the Sang Lee Con tractors. He said that he thought the defendants were probably causal workers who broke stones and sold them to contractora. He did not think that they were directly employed by the con- tractors.
