The second dant was charged with possession of one automatic pistol magazine and 222 rounds of ammuntion while the charge against the third defendant was possession of six automatic pistol magazines and 87 rounds of ammuntion.
Mr. Buss, who was absent at the last hearing, said that he under- stood Revenue Officer Watt was in hospital. He, however, was satis- flod that the evidence for the pro- secution was genuine and he was not going to cross-examine the witnesses. He was merely going to put his clients into the box,

The defen- dants had excellent characters and this could be proved by a witness the defence would produce. For three generations the defendants' families had been in the fishing

The third defendant was then put into the box. She said that she was the first defendant's mother, and owned a fishing boat, which was licensed in her son's name. Some days before her ar- rest she was at Ng Ching Lau, Tai Sha. Wan, where she found Ave caskets on the beach. These she took on board her boat and not having sufficient room to accom- modate them all she gave three to her son, who himself owned an- other boat.
It was only subsequently that she discovered that the caskets éontained arms. Her son knew nothing of their contents..
