SENNET FRERES MURDER CASE APPEAL DISMISSED Summing-Up Criticised By Mr. Somerset Fitzroy
The appeal against conviction brought by LI HUNG-FUI, alias JOSEPH LI, who was sentenced to death at the Criminal Sessions by the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, for the murder of Mr. J. Dubois, of Sennet Freres, was dismissed by the Fail Court of Appeal on Saturday.
The appeal was heard by Mr. Justice E. H. Willams and Mr. Justice J. A. Fraser who ruled:-
*We agree that there were certain points which might havę been put to the jury, but on the other hand we cannot find any substantial misdirection of the jury.
"Even "assuming there had been misdirection, to which we do not agree, we are satisfied that the jury must inevitably have come to the conclusion which they did."
The appellant was represented by Mr. R. Somerset Fitzroy, in- structed by Mr. W. M. Brown, while Mr. J. P. Murphy, Assistarit Crown Solicitor, appeared for the Crown.
The grounds for appeal were misdirection and non-direction of the jury by the Trial Judge and objection to the Trial Judge's re- marks in the summing-up.”
