was not prejudiced by the contact of the police officers concerned.
brow your Honour would not be aware of it. Justice ILK's opinions and 1 an not suggesting for a minute that your honour should be bound by these opinions, but only for he reasons that I world respectfully associate cyself with the views of r. Justico 2400 that I vill, if I may, read to your Honour very briefly what it. Justice YG said about the meeting. Firstly, your Honow,
If it is clear from the evidence that when Lab Cheong-vah told LEONG Vi-seng he would be charged with wounding or aíiray, only an, that is Lit Cheong-wah, uns not deliberately telling a Jalsehood. The circumstances of HD Wa's death were such that a beymen would almost certainly think that no murder had been committed." This was what I had said earlier on to your Honour. Also, your Honour, n the evidence following, the inferences somm logical that the agreement made at the Harbour Hotel was made in zood faith without betrayal, deceit or trickery. A code of honour asonget the underworld prevailed, and no one thought that they had done mything improper or dislonourable. They were simply persuading SOLLone whom they lew to be guilty to perft hincolt to be arrestod to the Lenefit of all. LUNG thought he was acting honourably by his sacrifice, and the others including LAU Cheong-wah and YIP fin reciprocated by doing what they could for hin and his family." Ind this vas what the 2nd accused was doing when he took TUNG Ving- scap on these trips to the Harbour Hotel and to the bathhouse etc. because there was not anything wrong in those trips by themselves, by mas just being kind to 1587) Wing-salg because LUNG Ving-sans led arosed to unten into this agroenont. To agreement, your Honour, also did not contain anything that LEUNG Ving-sang should nako a omiescion, and I think this is right because ir. Justice YANG Hentioned this that it was within the contemplation of all of tho parties to the agrounent that LUPE was to defend hiuself.

It was within the contemplation of all the parties to the egroenint that BUNG was to defond himself with a view to socuring an acquittal. Indeed the conduct of the defence throughout the munder proceedings supports this view, so that basically it was just 101 - Ping-sang agreeing to be arrested by the police, it did not prejudice his trial, he wasn't asked to make a confession and he was quite entitled
jula: No, the sting of the conspiracy is that question put by ir. 103
in cross-eteination, to release those twenty-two persons", and the csc md question being put, and that would include any attachurs who were arrested by the police, is that right?" "Yes." So thi agreszont was, "Iou virtually take the whole blane, you put two fictitious names in your statement and in effect te will close this case, we will get nowhere with any further investigations and nobody elso would be arrestɔd.“ Chat is the sting of it. cat sure that Ir. Justice DLC Merely found that the agreciat in the hotel was that 10s should adhit to wounding in exchange fur 10,000 because if that was so, it would not go far enough in
