Pending the court of appeal's decision at Gon, it transpired that there was no valld ground at all for the trial, an amnesty having been granted at Lisbon for outstanding press law cases; and when promulgated at Macao eight months later the amnesty came atill in time to quash the dragging, tragl- comical case.
