Mr. T. M. Hazelrigg, who appear- ed for the Crown, said that he did not propose to offer any evidence against the two accused, and his only regret in the matter was that the defendants should have been detained for so long, but it was necessary so that they could be examined. He said, that he was fully satisfied that neither of the Accused was implicated in the affair.
Mr. Lo said that he would like to thank Mr. Hazelrigg for the promptness he had shown in deal-n documents had only been in his hands for the last few days.

Mr. Lo further stated that it was a matter of regrot that the defon- dants were detained and asked the Magistrate to say that the two men were leaving the Court without stigma on their names.
In discharging the accused, Mr. Lindsell said that Mr. Hazelrigg was satisfied thal melther was im plicated. "You now leave the Court without a stain, on your characters."
It will be recalled that the two clerks were detained by the au- thorities as soon as investigations were commenced into the loss. On January 21, the police raided certain offices in China Building, which proved to be bogus offices. and it is said that the cheques which are the subject of the frauds were drawn in favour of these Arms.
There were originally, three charges against the two clerks. The first related to a sum of $95,142.19 drawn in favour of Man Lee Co., and the exact wording of that charge was as follows:
