The charge against the two men, Mok Kai and Chan Shek Yan, pre- ferred at Kowloon Magistracy yes- terday, was the result of a dis- turbance in Haiphong Road on Oc- tober 3, when, it was alleged, they interfered with a constable, who was arresting a woman for hawk- ing without a licence. This woman was 'in court as the first defendant, being charged with hawking with- out a licence, damaging a police- man's whistle and shirt, and as- saulting a police constable. She was not represented.

Chan Chak Po (0.56), the com- plainant, said he was on duty at

the junction of Canton and Hai- phong Roads at about 5.20 p.m. on October 3. He saw the first de- tendant, Chan Kam selling fruit

Second Defendant's Evidence.

Mr. Nigel then put second defen- dant in the box who said he wBS leaving the lighter fh which he worked to return to the coolie- houses in Haiphong Road where he Hved. He was going from No. 6 to Ro..5 when he was arrested. "I don't know why I was arrested. I enquired, but only got blows as a reply."

Chan Bek Yan, the third defen: dant, sald, he came back home with the second defendant. The water-police seaman came in and] seized him when he was standing inside the doorway.

His Worship This man, whom you have never seen before, walked in and stized you? Yes.

You are telling me you have ab- solutely nothing to do with this business?—Yes..:

k.

Mr. Wynne-Jones (to Mr. Nigel): Are you calling any more witnesses I am bound to say there is a very serious discrepancy between the evidence of these witnesses..

Mr. Nigel: I cannot see it.

His Worship: According to the second defendant he was arrested about half an hour after he left the wharf. This man says he was arrested immediately he got home. There is nearly a quarter of an hour diference.. That is granted that it took him fifteen minutes from the wharf, which it did not.

"Witnesses Debarred.

Mr. Nigel said he would call a man who was present in the coolle- house at the time when the men were arrested, who could say that they had not yet been home.

The man had been present all the time evidence was being taken. being seated at the back of the court.

Mr. Wynne-Jones: "I am not go- ing to have this witness: He has been sitting in court listening to the evidence and what he says won't be worth hearing."

There was a long discussion be- tween Magistrate and solicitor'on this point culminating in Mr. Wynne-Jones remarking “No. I de- finitely won't take it. Once I start I shall never end."

Mr. Nigel then called four other cargo coolles who had been work- These ing with the defendants. witnesses had also been present

during the previous evidence.

After looking at them the Magis- trate said: I am sorry, Mr. Nigel. I cannot take these men' either. I wish you would tell your witnesses to stay outside the court and out. of hearing if you wish to call them. Mr. Nigel I shall certainly re- member that on a future occasion. On the other hand, If a solicitor comes into this court and has to turn round to see where his wit- nesses are, it is rather hard.

Mr. Wynne-Jones. The Court- Sergeant will see that they are not admitter: It is for the police to see that they" are not in court I

will throw any police witness out who stays in court listening to evi- dence and I am afraid I will have to throw yours out too.

No Frame Up.

In answer to the protests of Mr Nigel that after all the discrepancy. in the time given by the two de fendants did not matter very much, the Magistrate said that the differ ence of quarter of an hour was very "This is no important indeed. frame-up, this,” he remarked, “ the evidence of the prosecution is per- fectly straight."

Mr. Nigel: So far as the evi- derice of the two witnesses for the prosecution is concerned I do not wish to cast any aspersions upon them, but if these Siu Chow people

can stick together, is there any rea- son why these detectives cannot?
