A Celestial, who was the victim of a trap accident in St. Albans the other day, made a request that a countryman, should be sent for, and this was complied with. The two had a short conference, and the second arrival then searched the inside of the injured man's coat, and produced two small bags, which he handed to Constable Smith. An examination showed that the bags contained £67 in notes and gold. Constable Smith was asked to become the injured Chinaman's trustee until became out of the hospital, and he agreed, to do so. This little business over, the injured Celestial was quite reconciled to being removed to the hospital for treatment. paperspast Hawera & Normanby Star 23 September 1910,
