ARGUMENT OVER BAIL IN PWD LARCENY CASE

As each of the five charges of larceny of Govern-"

ment stores proforred against him carries with it a maximum penalty of 14 years' hard labour, Kwok Kwong would never return to stand trial if released on bail, 'contended Mr. A. Hooton, Crown Countèl, at Kowloon yos- torday.

Kwok Kwong, foreman of the Public Works De- partment electrical workshop, at Hung Hom, was brought before Mr. J. Wicks on remand when his defence counsel, Mr. J. M. d'Almada Remedios, made a fresh application to the court for bail.
