Livingstone of Messrs. Hansons is conducting the case for the prosecution.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge on Saturday morning. The prosecution alleges that he disposed of a diamond ring by pawning it for $750 and stealing the proceeds. The ring was entrusted to him by Mr. D.R. Weerappuli, a Singhalese, with instructions not to sell it below $1,500.
Only two witnesses, Det-Insp. G.J. Bennet and Mr. D. R. Weereppuli, were called.
The prosecution alleges that at 6 pm. on July 18, the accused, who is a shroff employed by Messrs. Tuck Chang & Co, came to the complainant, who is the sole proprietor of the Ceylon China Export and Import Co., dealers in precious stones. The accused saw a diamond ring which the complainant was wearing and asked if he could sell for the complainant as he had a prospective purchaser of Messrs. Tuck Chang & Co. The same day at 8 pm. the accused went to a Chinese pawnshop, Woo Tsang, at 362 Wuchang Road and tried to sell the ring for $800. He was unsuccessful but the following day he sold the ring to the pawnshop for $780.
Meanwhile the complainant had tried to get into touch with Ismail for several days through the firm for which the accused worked, but he was unsuccessful, and finally when he was told by Mr. Chang of Messrs. Tuck Chang & Co. that the accused had left and was not returning he reported the matter to the police.
At 3pm on July 25 the complainant received envelope addressed to him with a pawn ticket for the diamond ring enclosed. On the back of the envelope two words were typed: “From Ismail.”
On September 7 the accused surrendered himself to the British Consulate, the police were informed and the accused was formally charged. He replied that he had two letters, which he wished to show to the police.
Both letters were from a Mr. Johnson. The first dated July 25 stated the complainant had reported the matter to the police and that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of the accused. The second expressed the regrets of the writer that he was unable to raise the money to buy the ring back.
The evidence of the two witnesses supported the case for the prosecution.

SHANGHAI LAW REPORTS
£5 Fine Imposed
A £5 fine or alternately one month's Imprisonment was the sentence passed on A. S. Ismail, who was charged with pawning a diamond ring for $750 and stealing the proceeds, by the Registrar, Mr. I. T. Morris, in H. M. Police Court on Saturday morning. Mr. F. G. Livingstone of Messrs. Hansons was the prosecuting council and Mr. E. T. Maitland represented the defendant.
This was the third hearing of the case and the whole morning was taken up in hearing the evidence of the defendant, which lasted one hour and ten minutes. The case for the prosecution was concluded last Tuesday.
The accused, who is an accountant and jeweller, said that on July 16, he was asked by the complainant, Mr. D. R. Weerappuli, whether he could find a buyer for the diamond ring, the lowest price being fixed at $1,500. Previously Mr. Weerappuli asked him to sell the ring for $1,800, and as there was a considerable reduction in the price he agreed to try. He took the ring to several dealers but none showed any interest. The accused said he then went to Mr. Weerappuli and asked him if he could hand the ring over to Messrs. Tuck Chang, the firm with whom he worked.
Mr. Weerappuli agreed, the accused took the ring to Mr. Johnson of Messrs, Tuck Chang & Co. Mr. Johnson said yellow stones were difficult to sell but he might possibly have a purchaser. At the request of Mr. Johnson the accused later had it valued at various pawnshops and the highest quoted for the ring was $800. The next day, July 19, Mr. Johnson went again to the accused and told him it was imperative that he took out a diamond watch that morning, which he previously pawned. He also wanted $500 to pay off one of his creditors. The accused asked Mr. Johnson if he had any possibility of redeeming the diamond ring if it was pawned. Mr. Johnson replied that his brother-in-law, who Is a director of a Chinese bank, promised to advance him $3,000 to following day. The accused then pawned the ring for $750, the pawnshop having reduced the price first offered by $50, redeemed the diamond watch for $170 and handed money, pawn-ticket, and diamond watch, over to Mr. Johnson.

Mr. Weerappuli did not know his ring was pawned and when the accused met him later he told Mr. Weerappuli that the money for the ring would probably be forthcoming the next day. After leaving Mr. Weerappuli the accused said, “I felt rather strange, a kind of fear.” He returned to Mr. Johnson's shop and there suggested that Mr. Johnson should give a post-dated cheque for $1,500. Mr. Weerappuli when approached said he wanted cash down or the ring back.
Mr. Johnson, however, could not find the money to redeem the ring, and later handed back to the accused $500 and the pawn-ticket. Mr. Johnson said he could get the money in two or three days and in the mean-time despatched the accused to Tsingtao to collect $150, which was owing to Mr. Johnson.
Before the accused left for Tsingtao he arranged that as soon as the ring business was settled, Mr. Johnson should cable him the one word “Settled.” At Tsingtao the accused became ill and when he came out of hospital found that instead of a cable two letters awaited him from Mr. Johnson, both of which stated the police had taken up the case in Shanghai, and how sorry the writer was that the accused should be made to suffer.

From Tsingtao, the accused went to Harbin via Dairen to rest a few days. He cabled Mr. Johnson several times from Harbin for money and eventually got Y. 100. With his funds almost exhausted and the manager of the hotel at which he was staying demanding payment, the accused cabled for more money but without results. When it was found that he could not meet the hotel bill the accused was reported to the British consul at Harbin. The accused had explained that he was expecting money. A few days later he received a letter from a friend at Dairen, which stated that accused was wanted by the police on a warrant for misappropriation. The accused then went to the British-Consul and told him he must return to Shanghai, and on his arrival he gave himself up at H. M. Consulate.
Under cross-examination, Mr. Livingstone asked the accused:—
“You knew It was wrong to pawn somebody else's goods without their express authority?”
Defendant: “Yes.”
Mr. Livingstone: “Yet you have been doing it for a long time?’
Defendant: “No, Tuck Chang's gave me authority.”
Mr. Livingstone: “It was because of that that you left Mr. Weerappuli's feeling a strange sort of feeling.”
Defendant: “Yes.”
His Worship after commenting on the case then passed judgment.
