When the case resumed, Mr. M. K. Lo, who appeared for Wan Yip and two of his fokis, admitted possession of a lot of 4,000 gallons of Chinese wines named in one of the charges, but denied that any secrecy was preserved over this quantity, which was openly handled in the ordinary course of his client's business.
