50 YEARS AGO

Oct. 24, 1880.

ONLY ten minutes were required by the Jury ut the Criminal Sessions this morning to find Man Shiu, convict, guilty of the murder of a fellow-prisoner, Chan' Shek-lam, at Stanley Gaol on August 26.

Man, who was sentenced to death, killed Chan, then serving a term of 15 years for attempted murder, by inflicting two blows on his head with an iron bar weighing nine, and half pounds.

The crime took place in the printing shop of the Gaol follow- ing a disputo earlier in the morning, when Chan struck Man two blows and then dared him to retaliate with a paper weight.

The defence was that the fatal blows were struck in self-defence.
