YOUR REF
18th May, 1981.
Mr. J. Duffy, Crown Counsel,
Legal Dept.,
Government offices, Fain Wing,
Lower Albert Road,
Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Duffy,
I was surprised and aggrieved at the MacLennan Enquiry that you supported the Attorney-General's statement that I saw those long statements against John Maclennan, when I visited the.Attorney-General's office on 24th January 1980.
You know as well as I do that those were not the statements I was shown, but that in fact the eight statements I was shown were read through in a few minutes.
ад
It was quite by chance that this was discovered, when Mr. Cerratu seid casually, "You have read the statements by the witnesses", and indi- cated a file including one statement which I believe he said was 13 rages long. Fot realising the import of his remark, I just said, "No, not those long statements. I have seen only short ones". It was then that I dis- covered the deceptionfa error,
Only you can know why you are willing to support a statement which you know to be untrue. Idid not expect you to do that, and even now it is not too late for you to admit that it was untrue.
I expected to find more sense of honour, having "yself been brought up to play a fair game.
Yours faithfully,
this chich вишей
Mrs. Elsie Elliott.
