A “HONG DUK” MAN?
CHINESE FINED £25 TOO LONG IN DOMINION The case of Hong Duk, an edu- , cated Chinese who had defrauded his fellow-countrymen, was recalled at the Police Court this morning when Low Ah Young was charged with staying in New Zealand longer than the terms of his temporary immigration permit allowed. jyj-R. J. A. Mclntosh, Cellector of Customs, was of the opinion that Young was possibly “one of Hong Duk’s men.” Hong Duk had extracted sums of money from his dupes by promising to obtain extensions of their immigration permits —ambitious promises that he could not keep. “Hong Duk may have been hiding him,” said Mr. Mclntosh, who was afraid that the case would have to be adjourned until an interpreter could be found.
“Can’t you speak English?” asked Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., of Young and the Chinese shook his head with a negative gesture. The Magistrate: How long have you been in New Zealand? Young: Five years. The Magisti-ate: 1 think that is good enough. Mr. Mclntosh, said that Young had come into the country in 1925. Young, whose age was given as 27, was fined £25. A deportation order was made.
