At the close of the Crown case whose vehiclo some 1,400 lbs dutiable Chinese tobacco was seiz ed on a recent morning at Shauki- wan, Mr. Leo D'Almada, Jnr. ad- dressing Mr. Schofield at the Cen- tral Magisracy yesterday after- noon, submitted that a prima facie (a) Take out a gult of lowercase had not been made out against value with one of higher value his clients. with a five-card suit and one high card trick.

(c) If in response to an original bid of one no trump, the hand must contain a no trump count, which, added to that of the ori ginal bidder, will total least 24.
