The two shops, in question are the Tat Tai Cheung, at 62 Shang hai Street and the Hit Cheung, at 68, Shanghai Street. There were frequent fights between the fokis of these two shops. On. August 7th. one fight occurred as a result of which three men were charged, and on August 10th the more serious fight took place at 62. Shanghai Street. As a result of this second fight ten men were charged, but as the cases were closely related to each other the Magistrate decided to try them as

one case. "

Mr. A. Covey appeared for the first, second, third, twelfth and thirteenth defendants. while Mr. M. K. Lo appeared for the others. except one man, the ninth defen- dant, who was not represented..

Detective Sergeant Fitches, out- lining the case, said that on Angust 7th.. as a result of a fight, three men were arrested. Two of them were from No. 68 and the third from. No. 62. One of the former men was injured and ad- mitted to the hospital. In- quiries were made and the police found that the trouble arose out of rivalry in the rice trade, and, a jealousy between the two shops, one having more trade than the other. The shop masters were warned by the police against a further recurrence of fighting on the part of their fokis,
