No Case By Prosecution In Opium Conspiracy Trial

Victoria District Judge H. H. B. How was asked this morning to find that Pui Sai-hung, 35, unemployed seaman, had no case to answer on a charge of conspiring with an Indian merchant to deal in opium.

Mr Richard Winter, defending Pui, submitted that the Prosecution had

not made out a case, either in law or on the evidence.

The merchant, Mohindra Ver- mna, 30, and Pul are accused of conspiring to deal in oplum be- tween October last year and February this year.

Verma alone is charged with possession of 1,070.25 pounds of oplum on February 22,
