BREAK IN THE CYCLE. The Revenue Officers also found three "konga" half full Nos. 44, 45 and 46) which were not due (according to the official rules regulating the output in this establishment) for distillation that day. August 3 would have been the official date when the contents of these particular three "kongs" would be drawn off for distillation.
The explanation given by the defendants, for this break in the eyele of production, was that No. 44 leaked, and it was found necessary to transfer its con- tents to the other two "konge."
When the case against the dis- tillery officials was resumed on Saturday, Mr. Lo told the Magis- trate that since the last adjourn. ment, he had examined his clients with regard to the scaffold- Ing coolie's evidence which, Coun- sel commented, could not possibly be true.
Both his (Mr. Lo's) clients were now satisfied that the case which they had sought to make out could not be sustained in view of the evidence given by the coolie. Therefore all that counsel could now do was throw the de- fendants at the mercy of the Court.
The manager of the distillery; Mr. Lo told the Magistrate, was not present at the time material to the case, and had left a man named Ah Kit in charge. Ah Kit did not understand the procedure of entering up the production books, so he put the particulars on a piece of paper to be entered up at the end of the day, when did not return to the distillery until 3 o'clock that day.
