It was his first appearance in court as he has been in hospital the legs. He was alleged to have suffering from blood-clotting in
committed the offence between May 14, 1971, and February 14, 1973. When asled to make a plea Superintendent Hunt stood up and said firmly: "I plead not guilty.'
Civing details of his alleged luxurious living the Crown pro- secutor, Mr Ross Penlington, said Superintendent Hunt had lived in a private flat, the rent of which exceeded his official allowance by £139 a month.
He had bought his own furni- ture, costing £925, and his own refrigerator, although he was entitled to Government sup- plies.
Mr Penlington said Superin- tendent Hunt had spent £1,185 on home appliances such as air conditioners, a washing machine, and a colour televi sion.
He had owned three cars, a Volkswagen, a Jaguar saloon, and a Jaguar sports car, which had cost £3,262. The prosecutor also listed a number of other items, such as travel and medi- cal fees, on which Superinten- dent Hunt has spent substantial amounts and said he and his second wife possessed jewellery and other items worth £3,205.
The police officer appeared relaxed at today's hearing, joking with reporters. He told them he had no intention of "this leaving Hong Kong until whole matter is cleared up." He is free on £4,724 bail. Reuter.
