SEIZE UNLICENSED JUNK
Holding that the naval officer who seized an unlicensed motor junk, On Lee, was not authorised to act under the Importation and Exportation Ordinance, the Puisne Judge, Mr Justice C. W. Reece in a written judgment upheld the Magist rate's decision in dismissing a case against Cheung So, the master of the junk, for attempted export of specified articles in the Appeal Court this morning.
Cheung So was charged with attempting to export prohibited specified articles, namely, 25 steel plates and 30 bales of rubber, on board his junk off Capshuimun on March 3, 1953, without an export licence. The case was dismissed by Mr H. H. B. How following submissions by Mr Peter Mo, Counsel for Cheung,
