He stated that when they first started to use the pumpa they pumped the well dry in a very short time and the pumps lost their suction.

Another boy, who was charged with larceny, was also said to have been before the Courts pre- viously. On this occasion he was arrested while stealing four pieces of scrap iron from the Kwong Hip Loong ship yard of Sham- shuipo. He was given eight strokes of the cane..

A bicycle lamp formed the sub- ject of a charge of larceny against a lad who had no less than four previous convictions for stealing. The last occasion he had received two months' hard labour. His Worship ordered the defendant to undergo a term of six months this time.

A charge of receiving the lamp was admitted by another lad who was given the option of a fine of $10 or 14 days' hard labour.
