KOWLOON CASES.
Among cases dealt with by Mr. J. H. B. Nihill at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning were the following:-/
One correspondent considers that the beaches lack the necessary. amenities, and wants them" to be
Mr. Lo raised several ob jections, pointing out that if de- fendant was a member of a gang } and the documents related to a gang it was bad law to incrimin- ate him. At a later stage he said. that Mr. Lloyd had in his evid ence made out a prima facie case that the goods related to opium and it was up to him (Mr Lo) to prove that it was not so.
A point on which witness was questioned by Mr. Lo was as to whether the documents were con- sistent with the view that the second defendant was out of the Colony during the period covered by the books. Witness replied there was no evidence that de- fendant was out of the Colony and referred to a letter addressed to him in Hongkong.
મ
Mr. Lo expressed a preference to Mr. Lloyd being questioned re- garding the documents and he entered the witness box... The case is proceeding.
