Judge's ruling 'dangerous' priest sets
Crown's claim in case before Full Court

the Crown alleged in the Full Court this morning,
The Crown, represented by Mr G. R. Sneath, Crown Counsel, is asking for an order of certiorari to quash District Judge B. J. Jennings' verdict of not guilty in respect of a villager, Shing Kwai, on charges of forgery.

He submitted that an honest belief that one was entitled to goods was immaterial and was no defence to a forgery charge.
In a case where an intent, to defraud was alleged, there was no need to show the intent to defraud "any particuler per- ¡ son,"
Mr Sneath also submitted was immaterial even that, it though no loss could occur in the circumstances following the forgery.
