It was with some difficulty that the "spectator" was moved through the swing-doors and rested against the wall of the court- room.

But it was not allowed to stay there long.

"Yes," sald Sub-Inspector Allen, "the defendant, a coolie, tiled to stent it from Upper level property, but the plank was too heavy and he was caught in the sci by a constable."

"Fined $10 or three weeks,” remarked Mr. R. Edwards.

And the plank left the court, accompanied by the gentlemen who brought it in.

Wanchai Brawls End In Prison For Three

A NUMBER OF FIGHTS and disturbances in the Wanchai district during the evening of March 6, which caused the Police in the No. 2 Station to turn out on three occasions between 9 p.m. and 11.30 p.m., resulted in the appearance of three Chinese Sappers of the Royal Engineers before Mr. R. A. D. Forrest at the Central Magistracy this morning.

The men were Wong Tim, 22, Kwok Chung, 23, und Lo Kam-po, 25. They were charged with being in possession of pack knives fit for unlawful pur- poses.

First and second defendants said they did not know it was against the Army regulations to carry the knives while in uniform, while third defen- dant said he knew of the regulation, but carried the knife for self-defence. Captain J. Matthews, attached to the Royal Engineers, produced Court a copy of the Fortress Orders which had been signed by the Ad- Jutant, dated February 3, 1930, which

in

sinted that Chinese Sappers were not to carry jack knives when walking out. They were, however, allowed

to do so before that date.

A copy of the orders had been re- printed in Chinese and posted up on the notice board.

• TAKEN TO POLICE STATION

Sub-Inspector W. N. Darkin, who prosecuted, said he had been called out from the No. 2 Station on three

occasions on the night of March 6 on each occasion to prevent a fight be tween members of the public and Chinese, Sappers. The three men in Court were talten to the No. 2 Station In connection with those flights,

Each knife in their pussession had the man's number engròved, but third defendant's knife was not his own.

When qu

questioned, he said he had taken it from another Sapper.

Inspector Barkin further said he had been instructed to asis that a serious view of the matter be taken,

Third defendant made a statement in which he said he noticed that an- other fellow sapper was being chased by a man with n hambon pole while he was on his way back to the bar- racks.

He rushed back intending to report the matter, but the Serguont was out. He then went back to the serne of the fght, and picked up a jack knife for self defence.

On arriving at the scene, he noticed

SILENT SOLDIER Nothing To Say In Defence, Fined

"SEEING YOU have made no statement, I am left with no al- ternative but to convict you," said Mr. R. A. D. Forrest at the Central Magistracy to-day to Gunner William Hogan, 30th Heavy Battery, R.A. who was charged with assaulting a Chin- ese at Hennessey Road on March 10.

Hogan was fined $15, and ordered to pay $10 compensation.

The police evidence WDS that Hogan, who had had several drinks. was perfectly sober. At a previous hearing evidence had been given that Hogan told the butcher to get out of his way, and then walked past him. The

butcher shouted back at him, so Hogan returned and hit him.

When asked by the magistrate to make a statement on his own behall, Hogan declined,
