No easy task!

Prior to the hearing being re- sumed, Mr. Strellett said he wished to mention a lending article which appeared in the China Mail on September 19 referring to certain cases which had come before the Court, as a result of which soldiers had been convicted. Among the cases commented upon by the art cle was the particular one which his Worship was taking. The re- ference to that case, said Mr. Strel- lett, was most unfortunate, as it was still suo judice.
