Allegations that Sub-Insp. R. G. Ibbitson had asked for $300 from the driving school proprietors for cach pupil passed and that he wanted to make $100,000 before he left Hongkong were made by Chu Kwan-yee, a Police interpreter, who was joint ly charged with six others with conspiracy and corruption before Judge J. Reynolds at the Victoria District Court this morning.

King Case Counsel In Court "Breeze"
Shortly after the Hon. Leo d'Almada QC had left Court for a while after completing his submissions this morning, a “breeze" developed. between Mr A. J. Clifford and Mr M. A. da Silva opposing Counsel in the King Case. Mr d'Almada was summoned back and peace was restored. Mr Silva objected to Mr Clifford making "long interruptions in which he repeats the arguments of his leader" (Mr d'Almada), and complained to the Magistrate, Mr Poon Yan-hoi, "How can I ever make. my point to your Worship. With these long interruptions my point has gone into the mud and morass and I have to make it all over again.”
"It was always in the mud and 'morass," remarked Mr Clifford.
