With regard to the other charge, Mr. Fitzroy submitted that defend- ant must be taken to know the law. Ignorance was no excuse in law. Besides, defendant had admitted that he had had the tickets in his possession both at the St. Francis Hotel and No. 15, Hankow-road be- fore distributing them for sale at various places.
