Chief Justice's Doubts

Declaring that he could not ac- eept the juvenile's plea of guilty as it was doubtful if accused appre- clated the meaning of it, the Chief Justice, Bir Atholl MacGregor, at the Criminal Bessions, deferred sentence on a 12-year-old lad who was tried with Li Chuen, aged 19, on a charge of possession of 48,300 heroin pills and 397 ounces of pink mass suficient to make another 39,700 pills. Sentence on the 12- year-old, lad will be given on Fri- day next.

The jury empanelled for the case were Messrs. A. Wood (fore- man), R. L. Wylle, E. V. Sousa, L. Landau, A. H. Esmall. Fong King- chew and Cho Chik-sang.

Conducting the prosecution, Mr. E. H. Williams, Assistant Attorney- General, stated that on the after- noon of December 23, Mr. A. W. Grimmitt, accompanied by Mr. H

A. Taylor, Government Monopoly Analyst, and a party, ralded a flour in Belchers Street. Accused were found making heroin pills in the rear cubicle which was be- Ing used as a large-scale pill fac- tory, all the paraphernalia for the manufacture of the drug being found there.

In the witness-box. Li Chuen testified to having worked there only as a

servant boy, hav- ing had nothing to do with the manufacture of the pills.

The

youth admitted having participated in the making of the pills, saying he was employed by a man named So at $10 a month for the purpose. He further said he knew it was wrong to make heroin pills.

LEGAL PRESUMPTION Referring to the boy in the course of his summing-up. His Lordship declared that there was a presumption in law that a child between the ages of 7 and 14 was incapable of evil crime. The pre- sumption was so strong, indeed. that it could only be rebutted by the most cogent and clear-cut evidence that the boy knew what he was doing was criminal.

The evidence given by the boy had been most damaging to him- self. and if the Jury came to the conclusion that he had deliberate- ly embarked on a career of heroin- pill making with his eyes open to the dangerous consequences, then the presumption which arose from his tender years would be offset.

Without retiring. the jury re- turned a verdict of guilty to both accused.

Li Chuen was sentenced to three years' hard labour, while sentence on the juvenile was postponed un-

Defendant stated that he came to Hong Kong on November 17 and after two days he found that the Chuen Tak godown had some 100 to 200 bags of scrap iron." The bags were carried out by coolles.to a sampan, and after each bag had left the godown the door' was closed:
