The complainant was Li Fuk Lin, alias Li Yuk Ying.
CASE EXPLAINED Mr. E. H. Williams, Assistant At- torney General, for the Crown, said that the girl was adopted when quite small and had lived with her adopted mother since ex- 'cept for occasions when she resided with her grandmother and other friends. She was at one time fired with the ambition of becoming a cinema actress.
For some weeks prior to Septem- ber 18, the girl went to Laichikok for bathing and it was there that she met the defendant who ap proached her in the water and offered to teach her to "wim. She agreed. They met almost dally at the beach. He was usually in com- pany with friends and the girl was sometimes alone and sometimes with friends. She went for `walks with Morgan and on one occasion he took her to the Alhambra Theatre. She had a basket which was kept in the cafe next door and defendant wrote his name on a slip of paper which was placed in the basket. This paper was kept by the girl on retrieving her basket after the show.
On September 18, the girl was bathing at Lalchikok when the ‘ac- cused came with some friends. Morgan invited her to go for a wälk up the hillside. The girl was wearing her bathing costume anda the accused was wearing khaki shorts and a white singlet. On reaching the top of the hill they sat down and Morgan kissed her. He began to pull down her costume (Continued on Bick Page.)
