Magistrate based his findings entirely according on the evidence of the two railway policemen in
in Shanghai, and rein- forced this fnet by referring to the identification by them at the parale held in Victoria Gaol on March 19.
It was rather difficult for him to ascertain the exact purpose of the identification, for, according to the evidence of Mr. Murphy, who had chige of the parade, the identifiers were told to identify a man in connection with incident that hinppened either in June or July, 10031- an immense amount of disfer- ence in time.
"RATHER VAGUE"
According to his limited knowledge of Shanghai, an Incident in June or July, 1031" seemed rather vague. The attention of the two railway policemen should have been drawn specifically to that particular incident, lie had no doubt, however, that the men had had that particular incident in mind when they made the iden tification, but in view of the judg- ment, the Magistrate should have considered that it might have been In connection with another event.
Mr. D'Almuda sald the point had never been raised by the defence, and throughout the proceedings the evidence of the railway policemen was in connection with the particular incident. No other Incident mentioned.
AVON
Counsel further submitted that it was not up to the Court to consider whether or not a prima facte case had been made out. The question was whether there was sufficient evidence to justify the Magistrate
He in making the committal order, contended there was ample evidence. The Chief Justice in giving judg- ment, said: "I find it very difficult to imagine any case of surrendering, after a lapse of litle more than ave years,
In which there could be more cogeni, detailed

in
dis- noticing the crepancy, should have referred ex- pressly to the corroboration of the identification at that parade, which was a scrupulously fair one.
"The defence was an alibi but the evidence as given to the Magistrate was vague and compared with the expressed and detalled testimony of the eye-witnesses at the time, was not completely convincing

TO APPEAL Mr. Sheldon sald he wished to.. give nollee that the fugitive intended the to obtain leave to appeal to Judicial Committee of the Privy Council at a late stage.

His Lordship reinarked that in
