is strong indication that they aid not do any thing thele alleged conversa- between Lau Cheong wa and Defendants never in fact took place. Sceats clearly said although Temple received a large sum of money it was not sugested he did not carry out his duties. He did, and therefore Temple was not guilty of any conspiracy. R. v. Thompson 50 CAR 1956, 1. (headcote). No evidence in this case to show either Defondant had any such intention. Only evidence of agreement ic Lau's What weight should be attached to that?

Difference is not material. para.6. part.2 is police orders.
