The first defendant spent the night In Fook Wing Street, where the giri remain ed for six slays. Un four of these days she stayed in the second de- fendant's cubicle.

Defendant's Denial,

Chain of Co-incidences.

Mr. Fraser “There is no direct evidence to connect the girl who was kept by the first defendant with the child who was kidnapped. The only thing that the Crown can show is a chain of co-incidences.

After a woman witness had given evidence to the effect, that the saw the first defendant board a train with a girl at Taipo and alight at Shamshuipo, the Crown in. an- swer to a question by his Lord- ship, decided not to proceed with the case. As your Lordship has indicated, that in your opinion there is no case to answer, in those cir cumstances, it would be the best to withdraw the charge.
