King Case: Counsel Accuses Witness Of Haranguing

What Counsel for the Defence described as a harangue was made by Mr M. W. H. Seymour, a Director of Messrs G. Falconer and Co., Ltd, of Union Building, in the course of his cross-examination by Mr M. A. da Silva at Central this morning, when hearing of the case against James Joseph Osbourne King, merchant, of 20 Braga Circuit, on a charge of alleged fraudulent conversion, continued before Mr Poon Yan-hoi,

When Mr Silva asked Mr Seymour if he would look up his pay- ments accounts and his billing account with Jack Arcus, Mr Seymour declared: "A peculiarity of this case is that Mr King, having had or at any rate seen the document Exhibit SSSS in April or thereabouts, 1950, with the remarks on, and having signed the balance sheet on March 14, 1951, as a Director and on March 16, 1951, had come to the Company meeting and approved the balance sheet as a shareholder should now, in 1953, when he is subject to a Police Prosecution, try to throw dirt at me."
