Revenue Officer Grimmitt stated that defendant came ashore and was carrying three packets" con- taining the money. Two of these were concealed in his girdle and one WAS In his pocket. The defence, he understood, admitted bringing the money into the Colony, and the question to decide was whether the money was cargo or personal effects,

Mr. H. A. de Barros Botelho, for the defence, contended that there was no case to answer. What was cargo? he asked, and added that as far as he could make out cargo was anything placed on a ship for transhipment.

Probably the authorities in drafting this or- dinance were not quite aware of the preparation of Chinese vinegar as distinct from European vinegar. My clients did not even know whe- ther their preparation produced the proportion as stated in the certificate of the Government Analyst. They don't even know whether there is 1.28 grammes of acetic acid in every 100 cuble centimetres or whatever it is."

AUTHORITIES SEEN

"I went to see Mr. Todd, the Chairman of the Urban Council, to make representation on behalf not only of my clients but of all the makers of vinegar, about their position, and I was advised to put my representations in writing so that they may be dealt with accordingly."

Mr. Kwan added that Chinese vinegar was sold at less than one cent a catty while the cheapest European vinegar cost 25 cents a pound. If the poor class Chinese people had to live on European vinegar it would mean that they would have to do away with their Chinese vinegar.
