THE

CASE AGAINST A MANAGER WITHDRAWN

ELECTRICAL GOODS

Last. Wednesday Mr. E. W. Hamilton fixed for hearing at 2.15 p.m. on July 23 a case in which the General Electric Co. charged Wu Lan, manager of the Iu Wing Elec- tric Supplies shop, No. 147 Bonham atrand East, with receiving stolen property, namely, a quantity of elec trical fittings.

Mr. M. K. Lo, for the defence, then characterised the attitude of the prosecution as "a shing ex- pedition," when Mr. H. J. Arm- strong, for the General Electric Co., prosecution to go thoroughly into asked for an adjournment for the

the case. He explained that the complainants had a stock of goods worth over $100,000, and it would take some time to go through the whole of this stock to ascertain the amount and nature of the stolen goods.

Mr. Lo's objection was that his client was arrested on July 10 on a definite charge of receiving stolen property between January 1 and July 9, and it looked from Mr. Armstrong's statement that there could not be sustained and was de- a possibility that the charge

was

Leave to Withdraw On Saturday morning both solicitors appeared before Mr. Hamilton, three days before the date fixed for the hear- ing of the case. and Mr. Arm- strong confirmed Mr. Lo's forecast by asking for leave to withdraw the charge against the defendant, as deli-the evidence was such that the pro-

secution was not likely to succeed.
