"Taken By Surprise." Mr. Jenkin went on to say that In view of these statements by the solicitors of Moxen and Taylor and of Mr. Ross, he had, been taken com- pletely by surprise at the opening of the case for Moxon and Taylor. Such a case had never occurred to him that Lammerts,would be held, to be the agents of the Man Chuen Bank."

The first defendant admitted that the weapons also belonged to him, and the change was amended accordingly. He said that he was e seafaring man and brought the arms long ago in an endeavour to sell them."
