of his letter he says : -

I stated what I conceived to be the proper course that I should take, very properly adjourning it from week to week until the other case was disposed of."

In the newspaper report which Mr Wodehouse says is correct he is reported as saying.

Under these circumstances I consider it my duty to remand this case from time to time until proceedings in the other case terminate, and I thought it right to give notice to Mr Francis that if the charge against Leung You was proved, unless my opinion was very much changed, I should find a prima facie case against the prisoners.

And again he informs Mr Francis that he considered that if the witness was guilty of perjury it would in his opinion vitiate the whole proceedings, and in another paragraph he says: what I have done is to adjourn the case from week to week pending the decision of a side issue, which has been raised during the proceedings. I gave no reason.

I do not see any reason which Mr Wodehouse has publicly avowed for saying that he would have decided the point of the credibility of Lu Ying Ayan differently.
