COURT HEARING

Before Mr. Schofield at the Cen- tral Police yeaterday afternoon Tong Hoi-chon who was alleged Lo have been representing syndiente, appeared on two charges of having obtained $20,412, the monies of the Canton Government, from one Kwong Tat on a forged document which purported to be n section of a firearms, contract and obtaining the money by pur- porting that a consignment of firearms had been delivered on board a gunboat in Chek Wan whereas, in fact, the firearms had not been delivered on bourd the gunboat. •

Mr. T. Murphy (Assistant Director of Criminal Investiga- tions) appeared for the prosecution and Mr. D. L. Strellett represented the defendant, pleas of not guilty being entered on both counts.

Detailing the case, Mr. Murphy auid that about the end of August, 1931, a Chinese instructor in the Aviation Corps in Canton was de- tv legated to come to Hongkong purchase fra arms for the use in the force. Each machine was to be supplied with two weapons for the pilots. The officer, Kwong Tat. would tell the Court that he ap- proached the licensed dealers in Hongkong but arrived at no settle- nient with regard to the number of revolvers which he desired to pur- chase.

The man made repeated visits to Hongkong from Canton during the later part of August last for the purpose of purchasing a consign- ment of fire arms. At the end of August he got in touch with a friend in the Colony and this man in turn approached another man who described himself as a broker but he was not available now to give evidence. He was alleged to have said that he could supply firearms.
