P.W.D. BRIBERY CASE.
MAGISTRATE'S DECISION
OVER-RULED. '
In the Supreme Court, this morning, before a Full Court, Sir William Ress Davies, K.C., Chief Justice, and Mr. Justice Mel- bourne sitting, an appeal by the Crown was heard against the decision of the Magistrate, Mr. N. L. Smith, in the case of the charge of accepting a bribe by the No. 1 coolie of the P.W.D.
It will be remembered that the No. 1 coolie was charged with accepting a bribe of 85 with "à view to influencing his conduct as a Government servant in' son- nection with a permit, and the Magistrate eventually discharged the accused.
The Attorney General, the Hon. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K. C., appear- |ing on behalf of the Crown, argu- ed that the learned Magistrate had misinterpreted the Ordinance, in dealing with the case under Section 3 of the Bribery Ordin- ance of 1898. Counsel dealt at some length with the evidence taken in the Police Court in sup port of his argument that the accused had accepted a bribe which was offered with a view to influencing his conduct.
L
Their Lordships found that the learned. Magistrate had misinter- preted the section of the Ordin- ance and that the case must be remitted to the Magistrate for him to deal with on the evidence.
