Tributes Paid To The Late

Mr. F. C. Jenkin, K.C.

The tragic and untimely death of the late Mr. F, C. Jenkin, K.C., C.B.E., which occurred on Wednesday and robbed Hong Kong of one of her most brilliant barristers-at-law and able plenters was recalled at the Supreme Court yesterday when a full congre- gation of both sections of the legal professions was present to pay tributes to a departed colleague..

In voices highly strung with emotion, the Acting Chiet Justice, Mr. Justice R. E, Lindsell, the Hon. Mr. C, G. Alabaster, K.C., Mr. Eldon Potter, K.C., and Mr. Geo. K. Hall Brution one and all paid glowing tributes to one who has endeared himself to all. The gathering amply showed their esteem in which the deceased was held by his colleagues as well as by the Colony. Included in the congregation was the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, Kt.,' K.C.

A LAMENTABLE YEAR The gathering stood up in silence as His Lordship delivered the fol- lowing moving tribute:-Mr. At torney, officers of the Court and members of both branches of"the profession,-This has been a ta- mentable year for the legal pro- 1ession in the Colony and to-day this Cour. nas sat to take notice.

Mr. Russ further stated that His Worship had apparently felt some considerable doubt about the case, and." further, defendant was not represented. If he had been re- presented, the case would have been gone into more thoroughly. Defendant had not been able to bring his evidence, because one of the passengers, Leung Ying, a merchant of Canton, had left for Canton. His evidence might have been of material assis- tance.
