"Rightly or wrongly I won't say I am in the dark. You may be in the dark, but I won't admit I am in the dark,” remarked Magistrate Poon Yan-hoi, in answer to an observation by Mr Marcus da Silva when hear- ing of the King Case resumed in the Chief Justice's Court in the Supreme Court building this morning.

Mr Silva who is defending James Joseph Osbourne King, merchant, charged with alleged fraudulent conversion, complained about the Prosecution's failure to He said he appreciated supply the Defence with copies of documents produced. the policy of the Prosecution in this case to keep the Defence as much in the dark as possible. Couldn't the Defence have copies of the documents being produced, he Counsel added asked. The Prosecution had had plenty of time to do that, he said. that he felt sure that Mr Poon and he. (Counsel) were still in the dark as to what was the case for the Prosecution.

Mr Silva's observation was made or Mr M.W.H. Seymour, a Director of George Falconer and Co., Ltd, Union Building, was producing in re-examina- tion additional documents or behalf of the Prosecution. 、
