Before reading the play on the following hand, I am going to ask readora to lay out the spade suit and see if they think it possible to pick up West's king-and he will Hot cover when South leads the spade suit through him.

The defendant has been before me since April 6, and I think he has appeared before me something like 33 times. I don't want to drag it out unnecca- sarily but I am bound to hear your evidence unless the defence agree to that particular point being called later.
