His Lordship commenced summing up at 5.20 and said that as a late bour had been reached and the jury had followed the evidence so care- fully he would be less particular in going fato explaining the law on the question and detailing various points in the informs ton bis Lordship said the contest took place with reference to the receipt of money by the defendant. If they thought that the money way received under the circonstances referred to there could be no doubt that the defendant was guilty. His Lord ship could not help thinking that the length of the case had been greatly extended by the fact that the defence had takes upon themselves the burden of the police case generally, having an ere, so to speak, to the position of the members of the Police Force. He founded those observations on two reasons. In the first place, Mr. May underwent a very long and severe cross-examination: he was ander cross-examination for practically a whole day. The other reason was the introduction of the books and papers. Both those points and the way which the points were dealt with made him think that the defendant had committed an error lo judgment as they very much prefanged the case and made it more embarrassing to arrive at a right conclusion. His Lordship's own view in regard to the books was that If the books word ruled not to be corraharmiivé evidence In any way againai the defendant, then the sosult was that the defendant had set up a bagay in order to knock it down, ad he had taken a great deal of time to do it, whereas, If the Jury arrived at the conclusion that the books did corroborate the story the defence had undoubtedly admitted anenemylothecamp by asking for the books. It the looks had not been produced his I ordship would have asked the jury to dismiss from their minds anything they might have heard or read in the newspapers regarding the entries in the books, and he was quite certain the jury would have acted on those instructions. So also in re gard to the general position of the police. There was no need to make out that Captain May had mismanaged the police to regard to the gam- bling hooter. Captain May really knew very llule about this particular case. His evidence, as bearing upon the delendant, was very short and simple and confined to a few general ticulars, but in order, so to speak, to break down the case as a ecting the whole of the police, the defence went for Captain May and took him over the whole ground and, his Lordship was golog to say, with some asperity. In regard to the Chinese witnesses the lary would consider their demeanour and ibe manner ans to bi Lordship that Cheng On and Kam stood their cross-examination very well Mr. May underwent bis cost-examination to very fale and honest manner. Ose Imporisat point that came out in his cross-examination was that there was no vestige of Ell-feeling on bis part towards the defendant, that he had no desire to see the defendaal puntibed from any duly in this matter as a public officer only. He personal motives, and that he was dolog his apoks in high terms of the defendant and they bad it on all bands that the defendant was an officer of great energy, ability, and seal. Juries naturally gave the benefit of woy doubt to a man of a good character and the jury would no doubt bear that in mind. With regard to Chang On and Tang Kam they were scarcely cross- examined at all They were not closely ques tioned; they were not dragged over the harrow, so to speak. The cross examination was con- ducted in a somewhat general manner and the wioceses certainly did not break down under it. It appeared to his Lordship that Sam Yeen was not a satisfactory wiress under cross-examing tion; he was somewhat decaitain and shiny. His Lordship then proceeded with a general state- the letter ment of the case and in regard to sent to Mr. May asked if the jury thought that
