Charge Withdrawn. Before outlining the case for the prosecution, Mr. Fraser withdrew the murder charge against Lo Tok, one of the two defendants in the original indictment.
"When this case came before Mr. Kennedy Skipton" said the Crown Prosecutor, "I intimated that I had no evidence to support a charge of murder against Lo Tok and I said I was prepared to withdraw the charge against him.
"After representations by Mr. H. Lo and Inspector Murphy who intimated that it would be difficult to obtain the evidence of this man, I did not press the application. But there is no evidence whatever ugainst Lo Tok and I think it is wrong to proceed against him.
"The only reason I did not with- draw the charge was that he is a material witness and he can throw light on the facts ns they occurred that afternoon. His story, how- ever, does not help the prosecution and I do not believe part of his statement. There is no reason why he should be called for the pro- secution and I don't propose to call | him. He would be Å material witness for the defence."
Mr. Horace Lo (for the de- fence): I think the prosecution should call all their witnesses. The defence may not be able to call this man.

The Crown Prosecutor: Your Worship has power to call any wit-
Yes. The Polico Magistrate: That can be left to a later stage. Tho charge against La Tok is nc- cordingly withdrawn but he will remain in the precincts of the Court during the hearing of the

The charge was amended by de leting the name of Lo Tok.
The Crown Case.
In outlining the case against Lo Chung, Mr. Fraser said that the victim, whose name was Tong Tsat, was Been taking vegetables from baaketa in Connaught Road Cen- tral, on October 23. A number of coolies assaulted him, striking him with fists. During the assault, the defendant is alleged to have struck him one blow on the head with a bamboo pole.
The defendant was not arrested on the spot. The man who had been just discharged was pointed out to a policeman who took him to the Central Station. The In-i jured man was taken to the Govern- ment Givll Hospital,
Struck on the Head. The old man was struck on the with the pole, after head once which he pitched forward on to the ground.
Lo Pui, another witness for the 'Crown, testified that some wrang- ling over the vegetables preceded the fatal incident.
According to this witness, the defendant was heard Tong Tsat of the theft, and he was Jacen endeavouring to snatch the vegetables from Tong Tsat's grasp, The next thing that happened, said this witness, was that old man gave the defendant a'push, and that started the scrimmage.
