The charge against a Chinaman answering to.the name of Unh Gin Lum that he did unlawfully enter the. colony without paying £100 poll tax was heard at the Police Court this morning before Mr H. Brabant, S.M. Mr Cooper appeared for the accused, and pleaded guilty. He explained that accused was not Unh Gin Lum at all, his real name being Ngh MongJ Accused had arrived in the colony some years ago, and paid poll tax at that time to the amount of £10.. He remained for a number of years at: Timaru, and about 18 months ag6 came to Auckland, where he carried on business, first as a laundryman, and latterly as a fruiterer. Eventually he left for Rarotorigc. Under the Chinese Immigration Act of 1881 he ought to have obtained a certificate before leaving the colony, but this he neglected to do.
