Mr. Schofield remarked that when defendant was bound over last time, it might have implied that he was not to visit or see the amah, the then complainant, again, and it was possible defendant thought there was no harm in ringing up instead.

Sub-Inspector R. R. McEwen:-in fact this present offence is more serious than the last.

Mr. Scholleldi-It would be more of a nuisance to the complainant in this case, but loss of a nuisance to the amah.

Eub-Inspector McEwen stated that defendant's bond then was $60 to bo |of_good_behaviour for one year,

Mr. Schofield said it would be sufficient to point out to defendant that if the present offence were proved, it was as much a breach of his bond as visiting the amah. He would not, however, enforce defen dant's bond, because the case against him had not yet been proved, but as his lawyer and suggested he should be given a warning.

Addressing defendant, Mr. Schofield pointed out to him that his previous bond covered any kind of offence, even theft, and if he made a nuisancé of himself again he would be severely punished.
