arged with uttering a forgod power of attorney and by its means unlawfully seizing the business of the King Fook Wo firm of 66, Ronham Strand East, counsel for tho prosecution, Mr. Hin-shing Lo. attempted to put in what he declar- ed to be a true copy of a document the original of which he said was with the French Courts in Indo- China; and the attempt was re- sisted by Mr. F. X. D'Almada (appearing for the accused) ов the ground that it had not been duly cortifled. This reoulted in legal argument which occupied practically the whole of the after-
noon.
A principal, witness for the pro- secution, Chan Cho, in the course of his depositions, spoke of the negotiations between him and the accused prior to the latter taking over the business in Nam Dinh, Indo-China, and mentioned that he was in possession of lettor written to him by the accused.

Amongst other things witness acknowledged, having spent over a lakh of the firm's monies. He was a willing party to that document.

the document being what it was claimed to be, and in reply to Mr. Lo, went further and and that proof must be absoluta.
Mr. Lo argued that it was com- mon law.
Mr. D'Almada, declaring that it was a principle of ovidence, quoted Lord Buckmaster's views.
Mr. Lo: This is terrible. Lord Buckmaster would be annoyed with my friend if he had heard himself quoted in the way Mr. D'Almada hina.

Mr. Schofield's view was that there was no evidence either way to Prior to the formulation of this show that the document was a truc document, he had told the accused copy or otherwise.

The maitre told him that the accused had taken it away. On December 27, 1929, he handed the business, of which until then he had been the manager, to the ac- cused.
