POLICE RESISTED.
OPIUM ON CHINESE PREMISES. EIGHT ARRESTS EFFECTED. (By Telegraph. -Press Association.) TIMARU, this day. When the police raided Chinese premises in Stafford Street South at midnight on Saturday they found a Chinaman smoking opium in one of the back rooms, and with him were the necessary appliances for this purpose. The entry of the police was resisted but eventually the occupants of the place, eight in number, were arrested and taken to the police station along with the opium - smoking appliances. The sequel was heard in the Magistrate's Court to-day when charges were preferred against two Chinese, Ti Hau, alias Percy Chung, of Timara, and Ah Yee, of Christchurch.
Ah Yee was fined £20 and ordered to remain in custody until the return of a distress warrant, and Ti Hau was fined £50, he too being ordered to remain in custody until the return of a distress warrant.
