e shots were fired in fairly quick succession, four of them seeming to strike the low roof of a one storey building immediately in front of Block's bedroom window. The plate glass screen of his car, which was standing in the alleyway at the back of the premises, was penetrated by one of the bullets, which—according to the position of the car—must have been fired from the Peking Road end of the alleyway. None of the bullets have been traced so far.
In_ the circumstances, it is singular that. a little while ago. Mr. Block's little boy, whilst out playing in the: alleyway, picked up a number of cartridges, These have been handed over to the police, who are now making a thorough investigation of the matter.
