The Bidding.

At the conclusion of the hearing his Lordship expressed the appro- ciation of the Court to Messrs. D. and L. Silva for their smart arrest of the prisoner..

Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith (Assis- tant Crown Solicitor) represented the Crown.

The jury was composed of Messrs. Eric Mitford," (foreman), Fung Tze-nam, H. C. Hung, D. J. Macadam,

P. H. Ree, F.X.A. Remedios and A.M.B. da Rocha.

Evidence was given by the com- plainant to the effect that in res- ponse to a knock at her front door at 7.30 am. on July 25 she peered through an opening and saw her amah, while a man was standing behind her. Thinking the man

Prisoner Arrested.

Mrs. Silva, who resides with her family on the first floor, heard the commotion and, on going to the front doar saw three men, of whom the prisoner was the last, running down stairs. She called to her sons Daniel and Leo Silva who rushed out and caught the prisoner.

Mr. Daniel Silva stated that when
