POLICE RAIDS
EXCITEMENT IN MINING STREET. Detective Cassells, Senior-Sergeant Dew, and Constables Dunn and Cos made two raids in the vicinity of Haining Street last night, with the result that a batch of Chinese and gaming accoutrements seized will figure in the Magistrate's Court this morning. Chinatown was in a ferment of excitement, and naturally so, as it is, as a result of the raids, minus four inhabitants, some £150 in cash, and goodly quantity of material. The first-raid was made about 6 p.m., when the establishment of Kem Sing, at the corner of Frederick and Taranaki Streets, was disturbed by the sudden entry of Detective Cassels and Constables Dunn and Cox. Other Chinese in the house were Ah Lou and Wong Lui, and a European, Robert M'Caulay, wbo will each- be charged with being found in a common gaming house. Kem Sing'will be charged with being the occupier of a common gaming house. The esoitement caused by this raid had barely subsided when Detective Cassels, Senior-Sergeant Dew, and Constable ■ Cox made a 6udden entry into another house in Haining Street. As a result Ah Young was arrested, and will be charged with being the occupier of a common gaming house.
