Judge Calls Counsel To
Order
Mr Justice J. R. Gregg this morning told Mr Percy Chen, defending first accused in the trial of two men charged with murder at the Criminal Sessions, to "refrain from attacking Senior Crown Counsel" upon no foundation whatsoever.
Mr Chen, who was giving his closing address to the Jury, had accused the Prosecution of mis- leading the Court in the matter of the production of statements.
Mr W. A. Blair-Kerr, Senior Crown Counsel, had protested at what he called "this mud-slinging" by Mr Chen against the Prosecution,
The accused are Yom Kwan- pak, allas Ah Kwan, 20, and Ho Kwong-tang, alias Ah Tang, 24. Both men were alleged to have murdered PC Laul Shing at the
Hunghom Playground on Decem-
bar 8 last year.
Mr Blair-Kerr said that state- ment was in the hands of the Court and Mr Chen had only to put it in as evidence."
Mr Chen rejoined that it was
not for him to put it in, adding that Sentor Crown Counsel had mis the Court in this matter. "He has Justice Gregg: Please refrain from using
