CHINESE OPIUM SMOKERS FINED
RAID IN TIMARU RESISTANCE OFFERED TO ENTRY OF POLICE . Per Press Association. TIMARU, Last Night. When police raided Chinese premises in Stafford street south, at midnight on Saturday, they found a Chinese 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 apparatus. The sequel was heard in the Magistrate’s Court to-day, when charges were preferred against two Chinese, Ti Hau, alias Percy Chung, of Timaru, and Ah Yee, of Christchurch.
Ah Yce was fined £2O and ordered to remain in custody until the return of a distress warrant, and Ti Hau was lined £SO, he, too, being ordered to remain in custody until the return of the distress warrant.
