The Discovery,
At the beginning of December last, people came to the Yee Tin Tong is jensary and naked for the Yin Yang medical plaster. They were pet that the firm were not the manufacturers and that they did not produce that kind of plaster. As the people con- tinued to come, the firm became sug picious and made inquirfen. In due course one of the Inkis discovered on the Yuumati ferry' a hawker selling this particular planter. I bought a | packet and was given a pamphlet pur- parting to be from the Yee Tin dir pensary, which were incidentally the first two characters of the complain- ants' proper name. The pamphlets suld that the plaster was лади- factureri ni 198, Wounding Stroet Inquiries were måde at this address, but it was found to be a false one. Subsequently another foki purchased

After the jury had made known their verdict.

They have found you both parties to this conspiracy; they have found that whoever else was party to the conspiracy, you two persons were concerned. Per- sonally, I think their verdict is right. I think you have been guilty of a crime of a most serious character, involving the possible damage, to property and 'possible loss of life. You have been con- victed of attempting to sột fire to the buikding, not to setting fire to the goods.
