No. 1 defendant was inter rupted by the Magistrate inhia cross-examination of the witness. Mr. Lindsell.said: Your cross examination is lending you deeper and deeper into the mire.

Defendant: I don't care if these things are taken down..
His Worship: You don't care? You are being incriminated deeper] and deeper.

Mr. Lo's Suggestion.
Mr. Lo suggested that His Wor- ship should give his time exclu- sively to the case, and leave his others to be heard by other Ma gistrates. Mr. Lo pointed out that there was necessarily a good deal of cross-examination to follow fur- ther evidence.
His Worship before adjourning the hearing until Thursday mor ning, intimated that he would consider the possibility of adopt- ing Mr. Lo's.suggestion..
