THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1930.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD ALLEGED.

CASE AGAINST THIRTEEN CHINESE DISMISSED. Thirteen Chinese were arraigned before Mr. Grantham, at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon, on a charge of having taken part in a "long firm fraud."

Mr. Bennett prosecuted and Mr. F. H. Loseby appeared for the de-

fence.

Addressing the court, Mr. Beanett stated that all the accused were charged with having conspired to obtain goods by false pretences from the Kam Cheung Knitting Factory and from the Po Kee, sack dealers, and also with having obtained.credit by fraud.

The facts were briefly that on May 9th, four men went to the ne- countant of the Yuen Loon Chan firm, No. 69 Des Voeux Road West, and rented the ground floor of that address for a sum of $155 monthly, They then took possession of the place and furnished It. The first defendant, who went by the name of Mok Chan Sang, had many aliases. The prosecution alleged that the first and second defendants were running the whole business...

When the police seized the books of the firm, it was found that the principal business appeared to be that they dealt in sugar. But they branched out into other lines, which formed the subject of the charges against them.

time. The first defendant had re- presented that he was n repre- sentative of a firm in Manila, which had been dealing in the products of this knitting factory, which were apparently, well thought of in Mahila. He had also made re- ference to doing business with this firm under a new chop. That was the manner in which the defendants had managed to obtain goods on credit. The goods were duly de- livered, but no payment was made.

Other Goods.

On June 13th, a man,, who gave his name as Chan Ching-po, saying that he was a representative of the Wing Hing Cheung firm, the name under which the defendants traded. went to a hemp shop and ordered 3,000 gunny bags at a cost of $527.20.

A firm of hátmakers were also similarly victimized by the defen- dants and delivered 23 hats valued at $200.90.

The defendants also approached the master of, an electric shop and obtained 20 dozen dry batteries on

credit.

The evidence of the masters, of the different shops all disclosed the fact that goods had been given to the defendants, because they had trusted the defendants, though they had never bad dealings with the defendants before.

The Magistrate discharged all the defendants, remarking that there was no evidence of fraud in their dealings.
