ions in Miller Road, Hongkew, Couns: Mr. FG. Livingtone for Prosecution.

Before Mr. C. M1. Haines, Registrar (Case Dismissed)

Santa Singh, one of sixteen Indians arrested in Miller Road after affray on July 12, appeared before Mr. C, H. Haines, Registrar, in H. M. Police Court on Oct. 6, only to have the case against him dismissed. Mr. F. G. Livingstone, appearing on te-half of the police, reminded the Registrar that on' August 31, the Court gave its decision in the affray case, finding twelve Indians guilty, and three not guilty.

Santa Singh was the sixteenth Indian to be arrested in Miller Road, but he was unable to attend the preliminary hearings because of his Severe Injuries. In view of the Court's decision, the prosecution desired to offer no evidence against Senta Singh, and would ask the court to dismiss the charge against him.

Mr. Haines agreed that it was obvious that Santa Singh was one of the men attacked, not one of the attackers, and accordingly dismissed the case against him.
