THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND
SILK.
The Hon. Treasurer of the Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals begs to acknowledge EXPORT OF SILK FROM CHINA AND JAPAN with thanks the following donation to the funds of the Hospitals: Edin Medical Supply As- sociation, $21.
For
A fine of $100 was imposed upon Li Sing Hop, a trader, for being in unlawful possession of arms. He was caught coming off the Can- ton boat with two swords in his possession. being in possession of four revolvers and two swords in excess of the numbers allowed him, Chan Li, master of the steam launch Kong Sui, was fined $25.
A Chinaman who had taken passage in the Guiding Star ferry launch on the night of the 4th, seated himself in the second class portion, but when asked for five cents by the 'ticket-collector he produced one cent--the third class fare. As he persisted in refusing to bring out five cents the ticket-collector told him to get into the third-class section, whereupon the man began to abuse him and struck him. He was given into custody and ou the 6th inst. fined $2.
The
A lukong who was in Hollywood Road on Sunday afternoon observed a crowd of coolies collected near the Hospital. He ordered them to move on, but one of them turned obstreperous and said he would remain where he was, lukong told him he had better go away and gave him a light push, whereupon the man struck him and tore the lukong's tunic. On the 6th inst. Mr. Hazeland fined him $15, or a month for the assault, and ordered him to pay $3, or seven days, for damaging the tunic.
A gambling crase of more than usual inter- est will come before Mr. Hazeland at the Ma- gistracy on Wednesday of next week. It ap- pears that the police have suspected that gamb- ling was going on at No. 4, Li Yuen Street. Accordingly on the night of the 4th inst. In- spector McNab and a party of police visited the premises and arrested about a dozen Chinese compradores and shroffs, whom they found gambling. When they were brought up at the Magistracy on the 6th inst. Mr. Mounsey, who appeared for them, applied for a remand until Wednesday of next week, and the application was granted. We understand that the defence to be set up is that the house was used as a private club.
While patrolling Queen's Road Central early on the 6th inst, a hinese constable observed a man carrying a bundle. Thinking this suspi- cious he advanced towards him for the purpose of seeing what he had got. The Chinaman, however, would not stay for this, but threw down the bundle and took to his heels. The lukong followed and being the more fleet of foot caught up to him. On examing the bundle he found it contained two bottles of whisky, a box of cigars, $11 in money, and some other articles. On the matter being reported at the Central Police Station Sergeant Sullivan was sent round to make enquires, and on calling at the "Rose Shamrock and Thistle," he found that the house had been entered by means of the skylight over the door and the property in question stolen from the bar. The house was broken into in a similar manner-about three weeks ago. Hazeland inflicted a sentence of six months' hard labour on the man arrested.
