It is not often that we hear of the Police being caught napping. Yesterday a respectable-looking Chinese youth was arrested on a charge of being in unlawful possession of what the police at the time thought were several reels of cinema films contained in square and flat tins, but the Police made a mistake, the tins contained, not films, but 120 taels of prepared opium. The case was brought the notice of Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Magistracy this morning and, as was to be expected, the boy didn't appear to answer the charge. Inspector Boulger, who had charge of the case, remarked to him that the Government lost a big fine and a probable inmate for the Victoria Gaol owning to the failure of the boy to put in an appearance.
