PROSECUTION'S APPLICATION, Mr. Jenkin asked ive to refer his Lordship to certain sections of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance whereby the Court was given the power to award costs against any person convicted, of an indictable offence in the same manner as in any civil action.
The proceedings, he said, had entailed enormous expense on the Wing On Co., and he asked His Lordship to add to the seatrice an order for the payment of part of the costs of the prosecution.. The costs of the Wing On Co. which had already been paid, bad exceeded $10,000,
INPRECEDENTED.
Mr. Alabaster rose and said that the application was unprecedented. Both he and the other Counsel had been prac. tising in the Court for a large number
of years, and such an application had never,
before been made to their know. Jedge.
His Lordship said that the Court

Mr. Jenkin further stated that he had roughly investigated Mr. Lai's aa- sociation with Fok, and he was perfectly satished that he knew nothing of the purpose for, which the cheque was drawp, nor that the money was going into the Wing On Bank.
Mr. Jenkin, concluding, said that he hoped that his statement would clear Mr. Lai of any possible stigma, which might be regarded as being attached to him. He felt that as he had addressed himself to His Lordship, and the Press would give full publicity to his state- ment. that Mr. Lai would be wholly cleared..

on a demand made at the present stage
of the proceedings, accede to the request of the prosecution.
His Lordship: There is no doubt that the Court has the power to make the order, and I assume that when the legis lature gave its sunction for such an order, it must bare had in mind the existence of certain cases in which the making of such an order would be right and proper. In this particular case it is quite clear that both the accused have, at some time, been in possession of means. Mr. Zeitlyn has said that if an order. is made against his dient it would bear no fruit.
Mr. Zeitlyn: Except in so far that it would bear very evil frait with regard to those dependent on him.
His Lordship: A man should consider all possibilities before he embarks on a case of this kind. The presont case appears to me to be one where an order of this kind should be made..
Mr. Zeitlyn pointed out that in fact there was no loss to the Wing On Bank, as the money had not been paid out.
After farther discussion, His Lordship awarded the prosecution #3,000 Goets,
Mr. Jenkin asked if it applied to both prisoners.
His Lordship: There is no question of $3,000 each; the order is made jointly.
