Ancient Chinese man on trial for illegal possession in Sydney court
An elderly Chinese man appeared at Central Poller Court in Sydney facing illegal possession charges. He claimed ignorance, saying his mind was influenced by a Chinese master who ordered him to move goods to a railway station for a country client before the sixth of the month. The master died soon after, and the defendant insisted he believed the items were potatoes, while the police noted tins of opium wrapped in dated newspapers. The case highlighted legal and cultural tensions in a tense local trial.
