In several instances, the earrings were the only real articles of value that the women had, and it is not in every case that they are recovered as some snatchers have the assistance of an accomplice who make off with the earrings after the snatching.

CANE FOR OFFENDERS

This morning, at the Kowloon Magistracy, Mr. Q. A. A. Macfadyen imposed a sentence of six months' hard fabour and 10 strokes of the cane on a man named Li Teng, 22, who admitted having snatched a pair of gold earrings, set with seven pearls and said to be worth $12, from a 47-year-old woman who was walk- ing In Yaumati, Kowloon, on Feb- ruary 2.

Li escaped immediate arrest, but was taken into custody a few days following police enquiries.

The woman's ears were slightly torn by the snatching, and in Impos- ing the sentence, Mr. Macfadyon remarked that as the woman had suffered so had Li also.
