Allegations that a man and a woman had gone to Taipo from Wanchai to pass counterfeit coins because there was less likelihood of the country folk detecting them were made in the Criminal Court yesterday.

The allegations were contained in the opening address of the Assistant Crown Solicitor (Mr M. J Abbott) in prosecuting Leung Kwa-sul and Li Yin. a woman, on four charges of possessing and uttering counterfeit coins,

A significant tact was that in no case did the purchases exceed two cents, except where the accus- ed had bought food, and in that case two cents worth of food would be hardly sufficient to satisfy their hunger.

THE ARREST

On the night of the 19th while returning home. Lau again ap- preached her and attempted to entice ber away... The girl'a: brother saw what transpired and had the accused arrested.

Evidence by the girl was given in hushed tones and with fre quent long intervals. She' sald that when she accompanied the accused to Chatham Road, it was late at night. He took her to 2 "pavillon" in a garden where she was assaulted.

GUILTY BEHAVIOUI“ "Another significant pont 13 that at one shop both accused made twu visits," declared Mr. Abbott. "On each visit they ten- dered a counterfeit con for "goods worth not more than two cents and received change. If they had been behaving innocently. why should not one or the other of them have made the four pur-when the girt felt overcome with chases at one time?

The case was held in camera. Following an awkward pause

NOT GUILTY

Mr. Abbott contended that the small value” 01 the purchases showed that the accused did not really want them all they wanted to do was to rid themselves of the bad coins and get as much good money in change as possible.

the girl admitted that she could Mr. Abbott said that although leave the house whenever she the man was charged with posses- ston of eight counterfet 10-cent. the Crown would not present evidence on that count, Pleas of not guilty were enterca

The following Jury ww. em- panelled: Messrs. W. C. Felshow (foreman), J. S. Smith I. J. S Glendinning. J. R. Canning. V. M. Barradas, Len Tat-shi and K. W Pedersen

The Jury returned a verdict of not guilty on the possession charge ind a verdict of guilty on the uttering charges.

The Chief Justice (Sir Atholl MacGregor)" imposed a sentence of a year with hard labour on each .of the accused.

Ruling that there Was not sufficient evidence of procuring and harbouring, the Magistrate discharged the accused. There seemed to be some doubt on this point, and the accused was en. titled to benefit by it.
