"I was shocked to see his trousers drenched with blood," said Mr H. J. Muriel, of the Hong- kong and Shanghai Bank, when he described the stabbing of the late Mr A. J. Clifford at the trial of Quik Bah-chee, charged with the murder of the barrister, at the Criminal Session this morning.
The case is being heard by Mr | the killing of Mr Clifford Was Justice J. R. Gregg and an oll- | schnitted as evidence. male jury. Mr Desmond Mayne, Crown Counsel, is in charge of the Prosecution, and Mr V, E. J. D'Alton, instructed by Messrs Wilkinson and Grist, is for the defence.
"I looked around, and it was opparent that she did not know him," said Mr Muriel.
DOUBLED UP
He said that a short time later he heard shouts from his right hand direction. He looked and
saw two men struggling in the pavement, a few paces west of the westerly lion in front of the Bank. The taller of the two had his back to him. He said he saw the smaller man hitting the tal- ler man in the stomach and that the taller man now and again "doubled up" from the blows. At one stage, the taller 1202 turned around facing his direc- tion and that he "was shocked to see his trousers drenched with blood."

LEGAL AID REQUEST
He Was sentenced વ two years on this charge,
At the start of the hearing this morning, Mr Justice Hogan roid the Full Court had con- aidered an application by Keay for legal aid and that it was the opinion of the Court that they
would not be justified in making an order for legal aid.
Mr Justice Hogan then asked Kosy if he wanted to have an adjournment whereupon Keay replied that it would be better to go ahead with the hearing.
In his appeal, Keay said the trial Judge
had misdirected himself when convicting him.
He said he respectfully sub mitted that a licence was not a contract within the meaning of the ordinance.
