Barretto: I don't see why I should plead guilty.

His Worship: You better plead "Not Oulity" then...

Mr. Fraser: I don't know that your Worship has power to alter the plea,

His Worship: Well he said "I don't know why I should plead gulity!"

The charge was read once again and explained to Barretto and he pleaded Guilty."

Before the second charge was read to Barretto, Mr. Lo pointed out that the charge was one in which Barretto is alleged to have done something together with an- other

person. He expressed the hope that anything Barretto might plead would not be taken as a point against Rocha,

Mr.

Hamilton assured Mr. Lo that on that matter he would not be so influenced.

The second and third charges were then read to Barretto and he pleaded guilty to both.

Upon the defence indicating that It might be necessary to Barretto as a witness in the case against Rocha, his Worship ad- journed the case against Barretto and he was removed from court it being explained to Barretto that he could not remain in Court as he might be required as a witness, Police evidence given by Acting Inspector Rozeskwy was to the effect that be was called to the charge room of the Water, Police Statkin at about 7.30 p.m. on De cember, 10 and there he saw Mr. P.

The boy was sleeping on the bed with a sweater covering him with Bar- retto alone in the house. Witness then described the house and the furniture in it. Both accused were then detained and charged on De- cember 13.

After Mr. and Mrs, F. F. Ribeiro (uncle and aunt of the boy) had given evidence regarding the tele-- phone calls on the evening of De- cember 10, Mr. P. V. Botelho the Vice Consul for Portugal in Hong Kong went into the witness box and related to the court the en- quiries and subsequent report made at the station.
