Seeing that their movements had attracted his attention, the three men walked away, and, whilst doing so, looked into the letter boxes in the street, not knowing that this man was watching them all the time: He communicated suspicion to a Chinese constable and they decided to watch the men's movements.

By this time, the three men had already turned up Hin Hong Road, adjoining Pokfulam Road. Ac cordingly, the constable went by a round-about way to the top of Hin Hong Road' while the shopkeeper followed the three men, whom he found sitting together on a bench under a tree reading a letter.

Ordering the three men to stand up, the constable searched the second defendant and found three letters in his possession, addressed to various persona. The men were all placed under arrest.

On the way to the station, the third man broke away at Second, Street and disappeared. When searched at the station, the first defendant also had three letters on him.

Both the first and second defen- dants gave information to the police against the third defendant, as a result of which a Chinese detective, together with. the first defendant, found him in Western Street and arrested him. No letter was found on the third defendant. Concluding, Sergeant Clemo in- formed his Worship that all the letters found in the possession of the first and second defendante were stolen from the Central dis trict..

The case was adjourned until to-morrow morning.
