QUESTIONS.
5. The Honourable Mr. Lo MAN-KAM, C.B. E., pursuant to notice, asked the following
questions:-
1. Has the attention of Government been drawn to the Press reports of the Kwong Wing alleged bribery case, and in particular to the following extract from the report which appeared in the "South China Morning Post" of 4th October, 1941:—
"Giving his reasons for refusing the application and discharging
Defendant, Mr. SHELDON said yesterday:
Mr. SHAFTAIN agrees with me that such a proceeding is unique. He tells me that he is acting on instructions and as I would expect, it is obvious that the whole matter is as dis- tasteful to him as can well be.
The only considerations are the interests of justice, if that is a phrase that can be properly employed with regard to this
case.
Mr. SHAFTAIN then told the Magistrate that he had Mr. Campbell in Court, and wondered whether His Worship would agree to put him in the box at that stage, as he anticipated that within a few moments the case would automatically collapse.
