"When Deported "Give me a year's imprisonment, but I implore "the Court not to send me back to Vladivostok," said a destitute Russian at the Mixed Court on Friday on being sent to prison by Mr. Whitamore and Magistrate Tsang for nine months, with' deportation later, on charges of drunkenness, breach of the peace and returning from deportation. The prisoner, George Koussnin, aged 21, Was stated to have fought with his escort all the way from from the police station to the Mixed Court. While in the dock he was handcuffed and had to be closely watched by a constable.
Insp. MacKenzie said the man was helplessly drunk when brought to the police station. A foreign constable had to look after him even while he was handcuffed in North Szechuen Read. His hands were swollen because he had knocked them against the bars of the cell when handcuffed.
