King Case: Counsel Claims Prosecution Based On Malice
In the twelfth day of his submission of no case to answer on behalf of James Joseph Osbourne King, Mr M. A. da Silva expressed his confidence that had the Police and the Legal Department known that the AS400 King is accübed of having fraudulently converted, was the subject, matter of a pending civil action in the Supreme Court, no criminal prosecution would ever have been started.
"I feel certain of that because I feel certain that British justice still stands in this Colony," added Mr Silva.
He also said "It is a somewhat difficult remark to make in all the cir cumstances, but knowing Mr Leo d'Almada as I have known him, I also feel.. certain that if all those circumstances had been fully disclosed and known to him - the circumstances brought out in my cross-examination regarding tho Bulova and the gold transactions — F. am very doubtful as to whether Mr d'Almada would have undertaken the hard task of leading for the prosecution.”
King, merchant, of 20 Braga Chcult. is charged before Mr Poon Yan-hol with having taken the £400 (HK$0,305.94) fo: the use of his wife. Masprei, in November, 1950, whilst a Dirge for of George Falconer and Co., 12d., of Union Building,
