(Ir. Hampton objects to document being produced.)
(Mr. Sceats: Would seek to submit this document and this is original
document, writing done by witness and evidence will be
given as to where document was found and made at time
when conspiracy was in operation. 2 earlier witnesses
had said they passed information to this witness along with the money and witness has told us purpose for which this type of document was prepared.
Not to prove
Produced
that suas and lists were known to this witness.
as fact of being made at time when conspiracy was in force. 2 lists ought to be produced by prosecution.)
These 2 lists were prepared
Hak Shing before August.
I compiled lists from what Ah Luk told me.
by me in August 1972. He showed them to Ma
Ah Luk gave me the information before August.
(Mr. Hampton
The others were burnt.
objects to this evidence about how many other documents were prepared.)
Mr. Hampton: Mention of any other document can only be relevant if it tends
to prove
case for Crown, if it is adducing same additional proof.
and inadmissible.
If the witness showed other documents to Ma Hak Shing that contained
cricket or football scores quite clearly these would be irrelevant
If these documents contained a list of illegal
establishments and payments from them quite clearly they are relevant
but inadmissible as hearsay. Any reference to other documents is just an attempt to get in written hearsay.)
Mr. Gunston giving secondary evidence of a document if start talking
about similar documents.
Ir. Sceats: Merely seeking to adduce evidence there were other documents of a similar nature. Fact of preparation of records of
this nature was not an isolated incident
Court:
Evidence re previous documents not admitted.
