Having said that, he thought that he need not go fur- ther and suggest a reason. He would merely ask the jury: "Could any tribunal say that it is satisfied with the failure of the Crown to give the jury the assistance of this man who had been behind the scenes all the

Mr. Jenkin emphasised that the assistance which Mr. Dovey would have been able to give the jury "would be of the very highest in deed." He asked the jury to con- sider why Mr. Dovey had not been placed in the box.

Was It Conceivable? Another witness who had not been called, Mr. Jenkin commented, was Cheung Man-kuon. Counsel for the Crown had said that he would not call Cheung because he did not think he could tell the jury any thing.
