14th
4 June
he could not
specific
charge against the prisoner
until eleven
days afterwards
that is on the 25th June
and
we think this is a very material fact when
you
come to
consider the case that was
the 21st
afterward made against the prisoner.
Upon 1st June Kwan Pok (how) Justice at Reeking sends for Ku Foon and
tells him to come down to
Hongkong to identify the prisoner.
Upon the same date the
Justice at Tingki about ten miles from Reeking, sends for
a man named Kwan Kean and Chan Fong.
Upon the 22nd
22nd June Kwan
Pok (how) sends again for them
Kwan Kean and Chan Fong and sends also
for the first time for Kwan Shap
The two witnesses Kwan Kean and Chan Fong arrive in Hongkong 24th June and the specific charge is made by
the solicitor for the prosecution
on the
morning
of the 25th and he then says
that his other witness will not be down until the 29th June
As a matter of fact however
his witness
Kwan Shap
arrived
in Hong Kong
on the 25th and
all three of the witnesses were living together with Kwan Pok and his solicitor from the 25th to the 29th June the latter being
the date
on which the three witnesses were taken into the
gaol to identify the prisoner.
Now as His Excellency will
see
