THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY JANUARY 8, 1901.
Slade proceeded to ridicule the idea' of a man in Mr. Carmichael's position attempting fraud of this kind for the sake of $100 worth of shares in a company in which he held nine-tenths of the shares, and in conclusion submitted that the case was not one to be sent before a jury, and asked his Worship to discharge the defendant.

is Worship could not see his way to accede to the request, observing that it would be for Carmichael to prove malice.
MHE. Pollock, Q.C., (instructed by Mr. Mounsey) appeared on behalf of the complain ant (Mr. R. C. Hurley), and Mr. M. W. Slade (instructed by Mr. Grist) represented the de- fendant,
Mr. Slade, in his address for the defence; said they had heard a great many reasons ad vanced by Mr. Pollock in his most strenuous endeavour to persuade his Worship to send Mr. Carmichael for trial before a jury, and thus gratify the poisonous spite of the man Hurley, It was perfectly obvious how this prosecution had originated and how it had been carried- our-it was simply owing to the spite of Hur ley. Hurley sure the information, but he bad not the courage to go into the witness-box, and he had Mr. Camichael arrested on the very day when the meeting was to have been held at which Mr. Harley did not want Mr. Cir- michael to be present That was why and how this prosecution started, and one could well see why Mr. Hudty was so anxious that his Wor

There were such things, as Ordinance 14,00 1845, dealing with malicious prosecutions, the offen der being liable to imprisonment for three months, which he might possibly have to unterge. Those were reasons why this rast should have been driven hole with the venom with which it had been, What were the facts which the prosecution had to go upon? The only solitary fact round which Mr. l'ol lock's eloquence had turned was that in 1897. on the date of the stamp of the uansfer deed in question, Jolat Harper was dead. As a matter of fact the death of John Harper had not been Before Mr. Kemp this morning, a fisherman very well proved, but assuming for one monicat named Kwok Fat was charged with (1) being that his Worship was satisfied that Jolm Harin unlawful possession of one and a half tacks per was dead, from that fact grew, the whole of of prepared epian, not having a valid certificats.

That was perfectly simple explanation of how that transfer deed came into existence. When the scrip was lost with the Catferthus, the easiest way of letting John Harper's representative have the benefit of the shares was to tmnsfer them into his own name an then transfer them out again when they were wanted.

Mr. Pollock-What about the Stamp Ordi- nance ?
OPIUM,
The defendant pleaded guilty to the charges preferred against him, and His Worship inflicted a fine of $25 or in default of payment, impri- sonment with hard labour for three weeks, on the first charge, and on the second charge a fine of $13 was impesed, or in default, fourteen- days' imprisonment with hard labour.
As the fines were not forthcoming, the defen- dant went to goal for the term of five weeks.

AN INTERESTING ARMS CASE. Case without precedent: A curious case came up the other day before Mr. Kemp; a certain Chinaman was employed by the police on the 17th of December last to purchase a revolver, which he did from the Pig. Kee arms shop, Queen's Road West This shop was summonsed for a breach of the regulations in that they failed, to enter in the books any particulars of the sale. The revolver was sold to an, unlicensed person. That case came up before the magistrate about the 19th December, and the arms shop was fined $29 for the breach of regulations. They were summonsed for not entering the sale in the hooks, but were convicted, for selling to a per son not licensed to carfy arms.

That was the only question he was asked. is learned friend interjected," why did not he ask him? It was through that, in all probability, he had beco got at by Hurley, He thought it probable that Hurley had threat ened him-bad made him afraid to speak the truth. It was not for him to ask the question, but for his learned friend, if he wanted to prove Carmichael's guil. He might say that that was the most probable explanation as to what act ually took place. The only person who could really explain these matters was, Mr. Carmichael himself, and his mouth was shut--he could no say what really took place. Therein came the devilish ingenuity of Hurley. Hurley knew there was only one inan who could speak, and he accordingly brough, this charge against him. If his Worship would look at the signature to the transfer and compare it with the writing of Archibald Harper, he thought he would be struck with a very marked resemblance. He had no right to say they were identical, but those two signatures might very well have been written by the same hand, and was that not enough to count that it was so? In dealing with the three-points raised by Mr. Pollock, Mr. Slade contended that there was not a title of evidence to show that Carmichael signed the Transfer in John Harper's name or that he got it signed by someone else, or that he was an accessory there and the Loker appeared to prosecute. mere-writing of a man's name was not in itself Hon.
