Lee Kwan, a house-coolie em ployed at a Peak residence, who was previously remanded on charge of possessing seditious pamphlets, was acquitted by Mr. Lindsell, on Saturday morning.

When Mr. M. K. Lo appeared be fore him and announced that he had been lustructed for the de- fence, the Magistrate stated that he had previously told Mr. Fitzroy, the Public Prosecutor, that he was prepared to hear arguments on the 1930 contention that the papers were 214.50 seditious.

drop of at least one hundred feet, but, fortunately, the driver, by vigorous application of the brakes, brought the vehicle to a standstill with the front wheels but a few inches from the brink.

There were only a few passengers in the bus at the time, but al though there were no injuries among them, they received in un- pleasant shock.

Evidence given previously was to the effect that a Shantung policeman on duty near Jardine's Corner saw the defendant scatter- ing leaflets on the roadway, and arrested him. The constable SANITARY PROBLEM.
