"The defendants were in effect never properly before the Court, the warrants for arrest were illegal, and proceedings which followed thereon were a nullity," claimed Mr Leo d'Almada, QC, when he opened an appeal this morning at the Supreme Court before the Full. Court of Appeal against the conviction of the publisher and editor of the Ta Kung Pao on charges of sedition.
Mr d'Almada said that when information was laid a certificate was issued by the Registrar and that certificate must then be produced to a judge

May 26 Dichard Communist pri- soners of war demonstrated again today as British and Canadian troops arrived to bolster the United Nations guard detachment.
Prisoners in Compounds 60 and 83 marched in military formation, sang and waved flags as the British and Canadian troops disembarked and were corried in trucks to the bivouao area near the prison compounds.
It was the same sort of demonstration which greeted other UN troop arrivals and was apparently designed to em- phasise the prisoners' deflance. North Korean captives are im- prisoned in Compound 60 and 85.
Troops comprising Company "B" of the King's Shropshira Light Infantry and Company "B" of the Royal Canadian Regiment were transferred from the Korean battlefront.
