The defendant put it to witness that with the parts in Court he could not make a transmitter, Witness replied that, as he had stated in his evidence on the pre- vious day, he had only brought to Court those. instruments which would substantiate the charge. He pointed out that the majority of the transmitting parts alno receiving instruments.
The defendant then went into the witness box and gave ovidence on oath. He anid that sometime ago he saw in a book that an in- alrument similar to the automatic calling device could be made to work a buzzer. Seeing that he had the things the parts-- hand he scratched on the drum the call sign "A. G.; 4 A. W."
He tried the buzzer und found it worked all right. He then- acrapped the whole instrument and east it aside. It was thus dismantled when seized.
Referring to the wave meter, witness said that he had built that to make short wave receiving coils as shown in a diagram in a book which he had in his posses- sion. The reason he attached the light on the short wave. meter. was because he had applied for a license to own and operate franamilling station but without

Ignorant Magistrate! His Worship: Do you swear that you have at no time operat- ed a transmitting station?--No. I have never operated a transmit- ting station.

You have never sent out a sin- gle signal? No,
Have you ever tried to construct a transmitting station?-No.
Yet you applied for a license [to operate one?—Yes,

His Worship then intimated that he could not cross-examine further on a subject, of which ho knew nothing, without study. His Worship, remarked that he would obtain expert advice as to. what questions to put to the de fendant.
Later his. Worship said that "it all sounds more like hot ar then- wireless to me."
Owing to the fact that his Wor ship will be sitting at the Central Magistracy as from to-day, It was arranged that the case, should be continued at the Hongkong Polic Court instead of at Kowloon. The case will be mentioned at Central this morning when a date wlil' be fixed.
