Cross-examination is only on grounds that Chan Sir has been ruled to be co-conspirator.

You mentioned a police officer called Chan Sir?

Yes.

What was the rank of that police officer?

I know he is a sergeant.

What's his complete name?

I know his full name but I dare not tell the Court

Please endeavour to overcome your reluctance?

He is a police officer. I am afraid of him. I dare not

say it.

I am afraid you have to say it unless His Honour expressly

releases you?

I am able to give it in writing. I am afraid if I gave the

name I would be in trouble.

I apply to the Court if I may be allowed to write his name out.

Court to witness:

Would you have any objection to giving name of

person if Court is closed to public?

Witness: I object on grounds he is a police officer and if I reveal his

name in public I would be in danger.

After explanation witness agrees to give name in closed Court. Court: Court closed to public and all members of the public will

withdraw. S.123(1) of Criminal Procedure

Ordinance.
