THE SUMMING-UP.
Dr. Koon suggested that inconvenizace would be avoided if a statement to the desired effect were printed on the not- fication form, so that the medical practi- tioner could sign it; if it applied.
The CHAIRMAN mid that to do that it would be necessary to umind the bye laws, making omission an offence, and (the object of his suggestion, was to avoid
that.
Dr. Ozorzó beliaved that the medical practitioners of Hongkong were doing what was required in this matter.
The Judge, after complimenting the fary on the attention they had devoted so the evidence, said that the case-seamed to fall under three bendings: (1) the The MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH said identification, (2) the pink ticket, and that some invariably informed him, but (3), the pursuit."

bave sat in this Court for many vers," said the Judge, and I have never heard it suggested that, when it came to even justice between man and man, the Attorney-General, as representing the Urown, ever treated the nationality of the prisoner as something that would prejudice him. If he did so he would be unworthy of his position, and if the Judge on the bench allowed it, he would be unworthy to be one of the King's Judges. This case has been presented to you with conspicuous fairness and I resent, very much, the imputation that anything has been done against this man-a Chinaman of lay estate that would not have been done in the case of any man standing in the dock."
The Judge discussed the evidence under his first heading-identification-and re marked that the enac for the Crown, in this respect, seemed to rest on one man's identification. If the case stood on that i alone he would tell them that it would be very dangerous to rely on one witness, especially as one of the other witnesses picked out a man with features similar to the prisoner's.
