WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

One of the most sensational murder trials in the his tory of the Colony came to an end in the Criminal Sessions « of the Supreme Court on the morning of August 24, when Cheng Kwok-yau, the son of a wealthy Ipoh (F.M.S.) family was found guilty by a special jury, on a charge of procuring the murder of Fung Him alias George Fung. The Jury deliberated for 35 minutes, and returned their verdict, which was received with great excitement, at 11.25 o'clock. The Judge (Sir Joseph Kemp, K.C.) in his summing up spoke for nearly half-an-hour. He touched on the case briefly and directed the Jury that they could not take a chance with the prisoner. Suspicion or even grave sus- picion was not enough to convict.

When the Court assembled that morning, Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., leading counsel for the defence, continued his éloquent address, which he had commenced on the previous morning, after a dramatic speech by Mr. H. G. Sheldon, on behalf of the, Crown. Regarding the evidence of Zimmern and Christie, Mr. Sheldon said he submitted with some con- fidence that their stories were not shaken one lota under cross-examination. Mr. Potter, on the other hand, termed the witnesses as deliberate perjurers, who had lied to save their own necks, in order to secure a conviction against the accused.

Mr. Potter disagreed with the free pardon practice which had been introduced by the Crown to Zimmern, Christle and Taui-Yum-sham, and regarded it as a travesty. He urged the Jury to disbelieve the defence's story. The accused, he stated, had sent for Zimmern and Cbristle from Canton, to prove an alibi. And they did prove it.

It was a crowded Court, the majority of whom were ladies, that listened with intense silence to the verdict be ing pronounced by the Foreman (Mr. G. S. Archbutt). "AL once, Mr. Potter gave notice of appeal, and his Lordship de- ferred sentence. On hearing the verdict, the prisoner, who remained stoical calm throughout, became pale.

The case is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA» "MAIL

In an interesting interview, Mr. Ma Man-fai, General Manager of the Sincere Company, Ltd., who returned to the Colony on August 19, from the North, expressed the view that the re-habilitation of Shanghal after the recent Sino- Japanese conflict is being delayed owing to every present menace of the resumption of hostilities. He stated that the» existing conditions are not as bad as is generally thought, and that there was general tendency of an influx into the Western district of the city, which is fast becoming the commercial centre of the town. The interview is given in the OVERLAND, CHINA MAIL.
