HOSPITAL CRITICISED BY

COUNSEL

Defence Counsel in à murder trial at the Criminal Sessions suggested this morning that the treatment of a man who died in Kowloon Hospital showed "disgraceful negligence on the part of the hospital."

Mr Terence Shurlock, defending an 18-year- old odd job coolie, Leung Kuen, on a murder charge, made the remark during cross-examina- tion of Dr Henry Lee, medical officer at the Hospital.

Leung was alleged to have stabbed Ng Koon-kau, a factory worker, in the neck and back on August 1. Ng died from the neck wound, which turned septic, 12 days later,
