At the Mixed Court jast Friday, before Mr. Grant Jones, British Assessor, and Magistrate Li, Zee Chi-sun, a shopkeeper, of Shantung Road, was charged on remand with having circulated a newspaper called 'The Students' Union Daily," containing articles inciting the people to revolt.
Mr. R. C. Faithful appeared to prosecute, and Mr. E. B. Rose defended.
Defendant, who is proprietor of the "New World' book-shop, said that he gave up distributing the paper immediately the police informed him that it contained objectionable matter. He sold only 30 or 40 copies daily.
The Court discharged defendant, there being no evidence that he knew the paper contained—the articles under complaint.
