A further remand in the case of the Japanese, T. Kamata, alleged to be the ringleader of the band of men smuggling arms into Shanghai, was ordered at the Japanese Consular Court last week by Mr. Z. Kobayashi, Magistrate, who took occasion to comment on the serious nature of the charge. Det.- Sgt. Quayle appeared on behalf of the Municipal Police, and outlined the case, showing how the arms were smuggled into Shanghai and disposed of to the Chinese. Det.- Sgt. Quayle gave a list of the vessels whose crews were found to be engaged in the smuggling of arms, which, he declared, were believed to have come from Germany.
Three of the five Japanese arrested have been fined Y.10 each, the Japanese Magistrate holding that they took only a minor part in the affair.
