case
Mr. McCallum reiterated his objection and said that he was going to insist that the defendants be charged on one count and one count only.
In reply Mr. Bennett, said that two charges in connection with the same set of facts were permissible, and be submitted that the charges as they stand were quite in order. His Worship decided.
Mr. d'Almada addressing the Bench said that the case against liis clients depended upon the case wainst McCallum's men! He argued that there could be no case against the last two defendants unless larceny was proved against the first three men.
Mr., d'Alinda further submitted that the prosecution had not proved that his men were on board the Tai Yuk Fong at the time of the alleged theft, nor had they proved that the coal, which was found, was the same conl that was stolen,

After further argument Mr. McCal-, lum said that if he was called upon to asawer both charges he could on Saturday night whilst on his way do nothing but reserve his defence.,
His. Worship gave him leave to reserve his defence and said he would note Mr. McCallum's objec-
