Counsel's Contention At

Suggestions that Police took statements with unnecessary secrecy, and that pressure was exerted on accused persons to force them to sign, were made by Counsel for the Defence when the case concerning an armed attack on A motor junk resumed at Supreme Court this morning.

Mr V. L. d'Alton, who appears for the first accused, Au Keng, alins Sai Lo-tim, was objecting to the admission of the statements on the grounds that they were made in answer to questions and were not entirely voluntary, but Mr Justice J. R. Gregg disagreed and ruled that they were admissible. He refused, however, to admit state ments made in answer to charges of possession of arms, which are not at present before the Court,
