On conspiracy charge Crown case founded on most unsavoury

Witness unreliabl. / chief one prov ed to be Lau and as to section 14 charge

no offence committed on face of it and in any event every excuse for not listing those drafts if that is what Crown is alleging. o evidence apart from producing the statement. Unsuitable charge to bring beside the conspiracy charge. Associate with my friend Mr. Hampton all he said

of the common purpose and of necessity of proving it and that conspiracy

if any either 1st defendant or 2nd defendant is allcged to be involved

in.

Whole of prosecution case is veiled in doubt and not sufficient

to produce a lot of drafts and that they went to England.

Case for Defence.

Verdict reserved.

Sail for both accused extended to end of trial.
