Case for the Crown,

In these circumstances, it was within the province of the Crown to surrender any person or to cause to be transferred any per- son who committed an offence under that jurisdiction.

Continuing, Mr Fitzroy point- ed out that in this case, there had been some difficulty in regard to the language. The Interpreter they had secured was very good.

The four accused came at about 9.15. p.m. They were seized by the Police and searched and on them were found various weapons in eluding from spikes, a dagger and

large butcher's knife. Two of them also had potatoes and lengths of wire in their pockets.

Potatoes As Gags. According to the detective; the potatoes would be used as

gags, whilst the wire were for tying the hands of victims.

Mr. Fitzroy emphasised the fact that it was entirely a ques- tion of the prerogative of the Crown, and in these circum- stances, he would ask that the se- cused be discharged.

Mr. Fitzroy: He must be dis- charged, or I must withdraw the charge against him.

He went back to the house at the appointed time and saw all the four accused there and together with them he came over to Hong Kong and proceeded to Wanchai where the Police rounded up the gang.
