NEGLIGENCE ALLEGED

The traffic caso adjourned by Mr. E. W. Hamilton last Tuesday, in which Andrew Tse was summoned for negli- gent driving on the Beach-road pt Repulse Bay on the afternoon of July 1, was again mentioned in Court this morning.

Mr. M. K. La, for the deforce, who was not in Court last week, appeared this morning, but his client was not present.

In mentioning the case, Mr. Le said that he would like first to make some remarks with regard to his non-attend- ance at, the last hearing. In view of the remarks published in Lhe Press it might appear to

who did not know i the circumstances that he had shown; discourtesy to the Court.

Mr. Hamilton: It's all right, Mr. Lo; Treceived your letter subsequently.

Council's Difficulty

Mr. Lo said that he wanted to make it clear that that letter was written by him on Monday last and he had given instructions for it to be delivered at the Magistracy early the follow- ing morning, before the Courts sat, and he was under the impression that it was so delivered. The difficulty he had was that he did not know whether Mr. Hamilton, Major Willson, or Mr. Hazlerigg was going to hear the case, and therefore he could not address the letter to an individual.
