Murder Charge Against Gallagher Withdrawn

JURY ADDRESSED ON MANSLAUGHTER

When the trial of Rifleman William Eugene Gallagher,. 19, of the Royal Ulster Rifles, accused of the murder of Tsoi Kwai in the New Territories on the night of July 29, was resumed at the Criminal Sessions this morning, Mr W. A. Blair-Kerr, Crown Counsel, said that he had been instructed that the Crown did not propose on this indictment to invite the Jury to return a verdict on murder.

Mr Justice Williams, Senior Puisne Judge, before whom the trial is being heard, then informed the all-male Jury that they would now re- ceive addresses from Counsel which would be directed to manslaughter. "The Crown say that it would be wrong for them to ask you to return a verdict on murder. You are now really concerned with manslaughter," added his Lordship.

!

that

In his address to the Jury, which occupied a little over an hour, the Hon Leo d'Almada, QC, leading Counsel for the Defence, said that needless to say he welcomed the statement made by Crown Counsel but he personally would have preferred it if Crown Counsel had announced to the effect that he would invite the Jury to return a verdict of not guilty of murdor. It was now crystal clear that there was no evidence to support a charge of murder.
