AND SELLER

Chun Hoon. found guilty by jury
Of selling opium without license, was
sentenced by Judge De Bolt to pay
"A fine of $T5 and costs Mr.. Rawlins
for defendant had pleaded for light
sentence and said he hoped the prose.
| cution would move for suspension
of sentence. He stated that there was
an impression among Chinese that,
since the opium prohibitory law had
been repealed by the Organic Act, there
was no restriction on the sale of opium.
Mr.. Cathcart for the prosecution de-
clined to ask for suspension of SEN
tence..
Judge De Bolt, in passing sentence,
spoke strongly of the degrading eff
fects of the use of opium. He said
it might be a very good thing if de-
PENDANT had not money to pay his
fine, as then he would have to go to
prison and there get rid of the habit
and become a better man.
Defendant had denied that he sold
opium but said he was compelled to
use it himself, as deprivation of it
made him ill.
Tam Pong's cash bail of $50 for SELL
ing opium without license was forfeit
ed, defendant having left the country.
There was nothing ready for the
jury on the criminal calendar yester-
day.
